This year's 15th issue of Shueisha's Young Jump magazine is announcing on Tuesday that a television anime adaptation of Yuusuke Murata's One-Punch Man manga has been green-lit. The cast and staff will be announced within a promotional video at Bandai Visual's booth at the Anime Japan 2015 event on March 21 and 22.

The series revolves around the titular super hero who has trained so hard that his hair has fallen out, and who can overcome any enemy with one punch. However, because he is so strong, he has become bored and frustrated with winning all his battles so easily.

I never thought that it was going to happen, but here we are! Let's us hope that the Anime is going to at least Match the Manga in Terms of Detail and Art.


Punch me if old.

Looks like we will have a Premire in October

Shueisha's website for its Natsu-Comi 2015 campaign lists the eight book volumes of Yuusuke Murata's One-Punch Man manga, and it reports that the manga is being "adapted into anime starting in October!!" Shueisha's Young Jump magazine had announced early this month that a television anime has been green-lit.

Edit2:

Shingo Natsume (Space Dandy, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos) is directing the anime at Mad House (Summer Wars, Hunter x Hunter). Tomohiro Suzuki (Tiger and Bunny scripts, Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary) is in charge of the series scripts, and Chikashi Kubota (From the New World, Robotics;Notes) is designing the characters.

[Mendrox]

Waiting for Toei...

 

[The Purple Pill]

Great news, love the manga, even the author's own art style got something special about it.

 

[Wiseblade]

At firstI was really excited... But then I remembered the Eyeshield 21 anime and got sad.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Yessssss!!

[kewlmyc]

About damn time!

 

[VariantX]

Waiting for Toei...

don't even talk like that...we need to send positive energy

needs to be bones(as long as they dont make shit up), madhouse, or ufotable...

 

[Zantar]

At firstI was really excited... But then I remembered the Eyeshield 21 anime and got sad.

What happened with the Eyeshield 21 anime? I've read the manga and have had the anime on my to watch list for a while now.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Will probably end up being the first manga with better animation than it's show.

 

[kurahador]

Urghhh...this series would've work better as 1 hour OVA releases every 2-3 months.

Expect alot of downgrade in action sequences with tv series tight budget.

 

[The Boat]

Please don't fuck it up!

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Someone post that flipbook .gif.

This has the potential to be really good.

 

[Mendrox]

What happened with the Eyeshield 21 anime? I've read the manga and have had the anime on my to watch list for a while now.

Looks like shit for about 95% of the time. Soundtrack is good though. Also there are quiet a few filler episodes and the ending well... they skipped a whole arc.

 

[duckroll]

Waiting for Toei...

If it's distributed by Bandai Visual, it's not going to be a Toei production.

This has the potential to be really good.

Which one?

 

[littletran22]

Loved the manga! hoping this anime will deliver on the action

 

[Superman0]

Heck yes, my favorite manga at the moment.

 

[Moral Panic]

NO WAYYYYYYY

 

[Chariot]

Will probably end up being the first manga with better animation than it's show.

Truth.

 

[JohnDoe]

YES
This news made my day. Only thing left to do is a mob psycho anime.

 

[Fuu]

Hope it turns out at least decent. Agree with kurahador in that it would be better as an OVA.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

One punch man or super saiyan god?

 

[EndcatOmega]

One punch man or super saiyan god?

Draw as they both remember it's special sale day at the same time.

 

[Nightbird]

I really hope they'll do a short Season, the Source Material is really short.

 

[massoluk]

If it's distributed by Bandai Visual, it's not going to be a Toei production.

Praise the lord.

First anime that have practicaly story board done for them way before anime adaptation is in plan

 

[Glass Rebel]

One punch man or super saiyan god?

Depends. Is Saitama using any of his Serious Series moves?

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Which one?

OMG.

 

[Angel_DvA]

WOW, looks crazy by the flipbook, count me in !!

 

[Tizoc]

I've been waiting for this >=3

 

[Angelus Errare]

Will probably end up being the first manga with better animation than it's show.

Pretty much.

 

[ShaoranWright]

Yes, I been waiting for this.

 

[Yonafunu]

Just have Murata animate the whole thing /wishfulthinking

 

[Heroman]

Just have Murata animate the whole thing /wishfulthinking

Than we would get one episode a year.

 

[Caj814]

Waiting for Toei...

no....No....PLEASE NO!

Spoiler

Would be hilarious if it ends up being based off One's original art instead of Murata's remake.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Like others said, they'll probably fuck it up.

 

[mrmickfran]

Which one?

With art this good, who needs anime?

 

[ninjabat]

That flipbook is crazy. Count me in.

Hope this means more updates from ONE at a good pace now that it has an anime adaption.

 

[VariantX]

Which one?

feels like theres more energy and fluidity in these than most animated shows today.

 

[BobTheFork]

Awesome. With it's release schedule, they should be caught up by the end of the month and making filler by April.

: ) I really enjoy OPM

 

[thefatness16]

Just like Eyeshield 21 I can't see this matching the manga. Hoping I'm wrong though.

 

[The Omega Man]

I'll flipbook the manga for better framerate

 

[LProtag]

This will be interesting.

I'm a huge fan of the manga, so I hope it's good.

 

[dramatis]

I don't know why I'm surprised, but I am. Good to hear though.

 

[Tecl0n]

yessss

 

[Regulus Tera]

In before they get Masaaki Yuasa to animate the fight sequences and everyone goes mad for the wrong reasons.

 

[Lirlond]

There's a load of ONE chapters for them to animate. I would prefer a mob psycho anime though.

 

[Alx]

I love the manga, but the animation and graphic details in the anime will have to be crazy good to live up to the source.

 

[gngf123]

I see no way they can make this is live up to the source material, but I so hope they do a good job of it.
