When will the anime “One-Punch Man Season 3” be released?

The unprecedented popularity of season 1 of the anime “One-Punch Man” about the superhero Saitama, presented in the comedy genre, will not allow the series to stop at two seasons. Not only fans were sure of this, but also critics. However, season 2 changed everything, noticeably inferior in all respects to the first one. Critics called it “failed and unfinished.” Therefore, it is too early to talk about the production of season 3. Will the director be given a chance to rehabilitate himself?

Plot

The action of the anime takes place on a planet similar to Earth. It is inhabited by various monsters, constantly causing disasters and causing panic and horror to its inhabitants. To fight against such enemies, the Hero Association was created so that the best people, endowed with force, daily stood guard over the world on the planet.

Saitama is considered the strongest superhero. Since childhood, the guy tortured himself with endless workouts, because all that the youth had dreamed of was to become the most powerful person in the world. The trainings were not in vain – Saitama developed incredible abilities, but the boy didn’t have any hair at all.

For many years, the strongest guy on the planet was not equal. Superhero life quickly tired of him, and now Saitame is just boring… In addition, the guy was very upset by the fact that for his actions aimed at the destruction of monsters, no one knew about his exploits or his existence.

Acquaintance with the young cyborg Genos changed everything. Having become a worthy student of a superhero, Genos offered his teacher to join the Hero Association – and now all the fights will be official, which means that Saitama will become recognizable among people.

Throughout the series, Saitama will encounter various evil creatures. Again and again, enemies are destroyed with just one blow. But will everything go on so smoothly? What are the real difficulties will face the main character? What mission will the Hero Association place on him this time?..
