Jump Festa 2018 brought anime fans a long-awaited look at the One-Punch Man season 2 trailer, [...]
If That's What They Show...
Saw the new one-punch man teaser and seems to be a big artistic downgrade from season 1. And if that's what they chose to show I don't even want to imagine how everything else looks

As this fan points out, trailers are supposed to highlight the BEST of a show or movie, which is not a good sign, in this case...

More level-headed fans point out that the changes are noticeable, even if change doesn't automatically equal "bad."

Clearly some fans have no real hangups about the aesthetic choices in depicting Satima's adventures...
prevnextClever Marketing
Still shying away from showing any kind of scene that would demonstrate the animation quality, I see. Because when I think One Punch Man, I think standing around and talking.
Also is it just me or do the faces look weirdly long? https://t.co/QVPqY5xToH

Conspiracy theories about J.C. Staff trying to cover their own failed product are already starting to pop up...

I can't believe the first season of One Punch Man aired in 2015.
I feel fucking old rn..
For some fans, a lifetime has passed since One-Punch Man first aired in 2015.
prevnextWant It Now
We really gotta wait til April for one punch man s2 ?

Seriously, some fans just want One-Punch Man back ASAP, no matter what he looks like.
prevnextGuarded Optimism
I’m very excited about One Punch Man Season 2... but I’m hesitant
This time around it’s being handled by a different animation team, and for whatever reason, these stills feel “off”
I can’t explain it, maybe it’s the gradient?
But nonetheless: I’m still excited

The majority of OPM fans seemed to be hopeful - if only in guarded fashion. Maybe that's the only thing we can be right now...

One-Punch Man premieres in April 2019!
For those unfamiliar with One Punch Man, the series follows Saitama, a regular working Joe who one day puts a stop to a violent villain attack. After this fight Saitama is inspired to become a hero. Training his body hard everyday, he's eventually granted with extreme strength. Looking for a worthy opponent, Saitama joins the Hero Association in the hopes of fighting them. But every fight he gets into ends after a single punch! Forced to wander through life increasingly bored of his supreme power, Saitama has become hilariously disconnected with the world of action around him.
One Punch Man started life as a webcomic by series creator ONE in 2009. After going viral, surpassing seven million hits in June 2012, illustrator Yusuke Murata approached ONE about redrawing the series for a release in Shuiesha's Weekly Young Jump spin-off webcomics. Thirteen volumes of the series have been released as of this date.
