After being duped by a fake before a few months ago [Thinking it was this season]; apparently it's confirmed to be happening now.
We don't know when it's going to be airing yet; but the cast and staff are being announced at an event on the 21st/22nd March; along with a promotional video.
So; yeah; thought I'd post the news here since I know there are other people here who follow OPM.
monhan:
Well, I'm happy that it'll be made into an anime and all, but I feel that it's a tad too soon at the moment. Especially since it's to animate "Murata's OPM", which hasn't been going all that long really and he has a lot to catch up to the original webcomic.
Another thing that bothers me is how most people will see OPM as "Murata Yuusuke's manga", and even though it mentions ONE as the original author, he just doesn't get enough credit in my opinion. Yeah sure, Murata's the one who popularize it when he redrew the comics, and ONE probably doesn't have anything against it, but it just doesn't sit well to me.
Perhaps if they start it by mentioning ONE first, then maybe that'll make it sound better. But that's just preference, really.
Edible:
I agree it's quite early for an adaptation for this, but I guess an adaptation for it was inevitable regardless.
Hope it's done justice.

Don't you know? Early adaptations are all the range these days! Everything is adapted long before it would finish before the anime is forced to stop or filler. Unless it's JJBA. And even that might catch up.
I'm expecting we'll go up to the end of the Boros arc. Maybe. Then it'll stop because of content until maybe the following year. Not to mention to test the popularity of the thing.
