One Punch Man Fandom Is Desperate For A Win
It Has Been A Tough Phase For One Punch Man Fans So Far
One Punch Man Season 1 was a big hit, and Madhouse really delivered in terms of animation and direction. The second season, however, was a step down, especially because of the change in the animation studio. After that, the anime adaptation stayed out of the picture for several years, and fans were growing desperate for the anime's return. Fortunately, Season 3 of the anime series was announced last year; however, J.C. Staff, the studio that took over the anime with Season 2, is returning to animate the third season.
To be clear, J.C. Staff's animation in Season 2 wasn't bad, but it wasn't as great as it was in Season 1. On top of that, the first teaser for Season 3 didn't exactly impress fans in terms of animation. Therefore, it's understandable why fans are a little worried, while also being thrilled about the upcoming season. At the same time, OPM manga fans aren't having a great time either, as the manga series has also gone on a two-month hiatus. That happened after ONE and Yusuke Murata spent more than a year redrawing the Ninja Village arc.
