‘One Punch Man’ Season 2 News & Update: Insider Reveals Weekend Premiere, Sows Confusion

As one of the most popular anime properties right now, it’s only natural that fans would be clamoring for news about “One Punch Man” Season 2. This is exactly what the web got recently, with a known anime informer providing some juicy bits of details about the show. Unfortunately, this reveal also caused some confusion due to the timeline presented.

This new development is courtesy of YonkouProductions who recently shared on Twitter some details about the possible air date of “One Punch Man” Season 2. The part that would initially give fans plenty of reasons to be excited is the supposed premiere on August 12th, which would be this weekend. However, the entire season will complete airing by 2020, which is utterly bizarre.

“One Punch Man Season 2 Episode 1: 12th August 2018,” the tweet reads. “One Punch Man Season 2 (Complete Airing): Winter 2020.”

This understandably caused quite a bit of confusion among fans, with reactions ranging from posting memes with varying themes of “What?” to expressing frustration at the completion time. Then again, there were some who said that the long timeline could be due to the quality of the show. If J.C. Staff is to make “One Punch Man” Season 2 as good as season 1, it’s going to take a long time to produce.

As for the source of this tidbit, Yonkou Productions has been a reliable provider of anime industry information for years, Comicbook.com reports. His past reports about various anime franchises have been accurate many times before, which was bound to stack the trust in his favor. This makes his “One Punch Man” Season 2 reveal even more frustrating.

Fans don’t want to wait that long before they see Saitama punching monsters to oblivion again. On the other hand, if “One Punch Man” Season 2 should release before the animators achieve the quality they want, the show’s reputation would only suffer.
