The beloved One-Punch Man anime is set to celebrate a major milestone next year: its 10th anniversary. To mark this occasion, the franchise has unveiled an extensive lineup of special projects, reflecting on the past decade and looking toward the future.
Originally a webcomic that gained massive popularity in Japan, One-Punch Man evolved into a manga adaptation illustrated by Eyeshield 21’s Yusuke Murata. The anime adaptation, which debuted in 2015, became an instant hit, further propelling the series to global recognition. Its first season was hailed as one of the best anime debuts of the 2010s. However, the reception of the second season was more mixed, leaving fans eager for what’s next.
As anticipation builds for the upcoming third season, One-Punch Man is rolling out a series of celebratory projects under the banner of the “10th Anniversary Punches Project.” This initiative will consist of ten special releases, commemorating both the anime’s past and future.
Celebrating Ten Years of Action
The first major announcement is that One-Punch Man Season 3 is confirmed to air in 2025, delighting long-time fans of the series. In addition to the announcement, the franchise has unveiled a striking new anniversary poster featuring many of its beloved characters.
Another highlight includes a special promo video that revisits some of the anime’s most iconic moments to date. Additionally, fans will have access to creditless versions of the opening and ending themes from both Seasons 1 and 2 on YouTube for the first time. The original premieres of both seasons will also be made available for free on YouTube for a limited time.
Further adding to the celebrations, the franchise has announced the “One-Punch Man Magic Music Festival,” set to take place in Japan in 2025. Details of the remaining three anniversary projects are yet to be revealed, leaving fans eager for more surprises in the lead-up to next year’s landmark celebration.
One-Punch Man continues to be one of the most exciting action franchises in anime, and its 10th anniversary promises to be a memorable event for fans worldwide.
