One-Punch Man Anime confirmed

[BT]

There's no announcement but maybe someday.

I mean, it's Madhouse, so I wouldn't hold my breath, but maybe.

The thread title should probably be updated.  :toot:

IIRC, the author wants a 2nd season, but yeah, it's Madhouse's call, because I don't think any other studio would be able to handle it.

I finished the anime but it left me feeling underwhelmed. I'm feeling like Saitama where I'm disappointed when I destroy everything in one punch. I'm waiting for when he faces a worthy adversary. I want to see Saitama bleed. In the 12 eps, the scene I enjoyed most was Saitama training with Genos.

If you want to see Saitama bleed; you are missing the point of One Punch Man.

It's a deconstruction and parody of Super Heroes as a genre. Saitama is; of course; Superman. That hero with no defined limits that is all but invulnerable. Except taken to an extreme, on a character with a very, very different opinion on things.

I think a 2nd season might be possible; but they might need to wait until Fall 2016/Winter 2017 to start production, unless the rate of the manga/webcomic increases as a response to the popularity of the anime.

But; and I never thought I'd say this; I actually think good filler might be the answer. Work with the mangaka and create eps that focus on other heroes as filler. Especially given the Hero Hunter arc; I can see potential for a filler around Bang in his prime. Metal Bat might be another candidate seeing as he has a decent role in the Hero Hunter arc too.

Of course; they key word is WELL DONE. Good filler tends to come from working with the source. Bad filler is worse than doing nothing. Good filler can actually enrich the story.

There wouldn't even need to be much filler to make a 12 ep season when you throw in the Hero Hunter Arc; which would last a good few eps. Especially since there's also the meeting with Fukubi before that.

That's a pretty good idea.
I wouldn't mind the filler episodes take the direction of nichijou with segmented clips of humor, though that wouldn't tell much about the story and couldn't last too many episodes because it'd stray way too far from the mainline anime.

I'd only say to make a 12 ep season out of what's currently there; ignoreing the current arc of the manga; we'd need 3; maybe 4 filler eps. Might even need 2 if they flesh out the fights like they did with Boros.

And there's already a side story that focuses on the Fukubi/Blizzard group anyway they can use. [Fukubi is the 2nd most popular character in the manga according to polls; only just behind Saitama himself]

On a completely unrelated note, an obligatory Touhou crossover.

I was gonna say they shoulda used Yuugi but less people would recognize her.

Even if that's how things would pan out if Yuugi [Or Suika] actually punched you.

Also you could have Yuugi annoyed that she can't find anyone strong to make her even drop her sake and stuff as well as the 'one punch' thing.

[Delfigamer]

Onis usually fight a lot among each other in the Underground, though.

[Helepolis]

Regarding the Toho crossover for OPM > Is it me or is Koishi mocking Reimu with that banner for being #1 character?

[Drake]

yeahp

[Helepolis]

Warugaki has made his own parody on the OPM intro.

It is called: "One Punch Mam"  (Danbooru link for those who can't NicoNico, but to grant the author his views, please visit the NicoNico link.)

[Ruka]

Did he animate that himself? That's pretty good either way.

[CenturyEgg]

The thought of Sendai Hakurei being a strangely affectionate helicopter mum and being Reimu's deus ex machina is hilarious. Based Warugaki
