The third season of the wildly popular One-Punch Man anime adaptation will be released in the West this October courtesy of VIZ Media.
One-Punch Man started out as a webcomic and later a manga about Saitama, the titular protagonist who just wanted to be a hero for fun but can defeat any opponent with just "one punch".
When the manga was adapted into an anime, the first season was animated by Madhouse. I reviewed the Blu-ray release of that, and it was and is a genuinely excellent anime, not least because of the amazing animation quality, but also the epic opening song from Super Robot Wars regulars, JAM Project.
The second season of the anime was handed over to J.C.Staff, and they are back again for this new third season.
VIZ Media will be streaming the third season this October, as well as handling all the home video releases. They also release the manga outside of Japan, so having it all under one roof is handy.
Personally, I love One-Punch Man and also thought threezero's figures from a few years back were also excellent. The premise is silly, but the execution of the manga and anime is amazing.
Here's hoping the third season lives up to all the hype, as the latest trailer (shown below) is rather great.
