Studio: Who is responsible for Season 3?
The first season of One Punch Man was highly praised by fans for its amazing animations. This was thanks to the studio Madhouse. However, the job for the second season was given to another studio, namely J.C.Staff.
Here there was criticism because the quality of the anime declined:
- The fight scenes have less detail and appear less dynamic
- The character designs fluctuate in their proportions and details
- Metallic surfaces, like those of Cyborg Genos, have suddenly developed an inappropriate shine effect
Season 3 will once again be produced by J.C.Staff, and the director has already revealed that the quality is unlikely to reach that of Season 1. He mentioned the reasons for this on his own X profile.
Episodes: How many episodes will Season 3 have?
Since Season 1 and Season 2 each contained 12 episodes, it is likely that Season 3 will also have a total of 12 episodes.
Streaming Service: Where can I watch Season 3?
Crunchyroll has already announced that the streaming service will air the season in simulcast, shortly after the Japanese release. It is possible that Season 3 will also be available on Amazon Prime at a later time, as Seasons 1 and 2 are already available there.
Synchronization: In which language will Season 3 be available?
For the release, there will be the original Japanese voice acting with German subtitles. At a later point, the German dubbing, as with Season 1 and 2, will be provided. When exactly, that is not yet determined.
Story: What is Season 3 about?
Season 3 continues with the “Monster Association” arc of the manga. In this, the Monster Association reaches out to the Hero Association and asks for monsters and heroes to be able to live together. However, it quickly becomes clear that this is just a trick.
In Season 3, several battles from this storyline could be shown, which is the longest arc in the manga so far. The Hero Association plans to dismantle the Monster Association and breaks into their underground headquarters.
This leads to numerous confrontations that could be wonderfully animated in the anime. In addition, Garou undergoes a painful transformation that reaches its peak in this arc.
One Punch Man will be one of the highlights of the upcoming anime season. If the term means nothing to you, you can refresh your knowledge with the explanation on MeinMMO.
