 A scan of the latest issue of Weekly Young Jump magazine, officially releasing Thursday March 12, revealed that One and Yusuke Murata's manga One Punch-Man will get a TV anime adaptation. A promotional video, which will be presented at Bandai Visual's booth at the Anime Japan 2015 event on March 21-22, will announce the cast and staff members for the TV series. According to One, Yusuke Murata is also participating in the anime production.One began serializing the webcomic One Punch-Man on his own website in 2009. Yusuke Murata collaborated with One to remake the webcomic into a manga series in 2012 which is serialized in the online version of Weekly Young Jump. The manga follows Saitama, an average-looking fellow with a bald head and lifeless expressions, who is actually a superhero and bored of battling weak opponents. He embarks on a journey to find a worthy opponent that can withstand his one-punch fighting technique.

| Best news of the year so far. I wonder how many episodes it will be but this is still an awesome way to start the weekend. And oh yeah, remember that Mob Psycho 100 is up for voting along with some other entries to decide if it will get an anime adaptation in the future. Make that happen as well. The Bandai Booth thing may suggest Sunrise for studio. |
 |
| i hope the anime will have awesome art like the manga does |
| Time to start reading the manga. |
 |
| It's happening. thank you Bandai. |
| OMG! OMG! OMG! I KNEW IT! F*CKING YES! Now pls choose a decent Cast and Staff for this....yes i'm talking about u Madhouse and BONES...cause this golden shit requires lot of effort to nail down Murata's art. |
 |
| Cool I doubt it will do the manga justice though |
הלב שלי כבר מת |
| should i be excited? i don't know that much about one punch man hopefully it's gonna be a good studio |
| :3 |
| Best anime news 2015. |
| If Bones adapt this, that means their lineup will be full this year. |
|
| I've been waiting for this. I hear nothing but good things about it :D |

 |
| Didn't expect this. Looking forward to it, I just hope it won't be a let down. |
| No way......yay~~~~ *dances* |
| hells yeah! about time! |
| Sunrise or Bones please. |
 |
| Hope a good studio animates it. HYPED!!!! |
| Holy shit. I did not expect this. |
tsudecimo said: Madhouse or Bones please. Fixed that for you. Either way, I'm HYPED! |
| honestly, that pv picture gives me the madhouse vibes |
| :3 |
| This made my day! Can't wait for it! |
| Other than the studio, I'm also very curious on the number of cour and chapters they'll adapt. Still, whatever format they choose I'm hyped to the limit. Can't wait for a PV. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

tsudecimo said: whoa, low blowI don't want it to flop, so no madhouse please. the manga is selling pretty damn good right? Hoods Entertainment could probably pick this up and have it still sell like crack to Oprah |
|
| SO BLOODY HYPED |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
Stark700 said: If Bones adapt this, that means their lineup will be full this year. I doubt they're going to do this one. Like you said the Bandai booth might be a hint that Sunrise is going to pick this up. |
| lol people jumping on the bandwagon "best news" for each news we have been getting lately |
| Awesome news. OPM has to be the funniest superhero stuff i've read in quite some time. I'm also excited by the fact that i'll be able to see Saitama's total badassery in full fledged TV anime. |
| The synopsis sounds pretty silly, but it's a good kind of silly, so I'll probably watch it. :P |
Maerow said: Once again, fuck yeah. Based on the illustration, looks like I.G or Wit. But please, not Toei. That's why I'm worried coz the illustration really looks like what IG or WIT would draw. IG please not WIT. Inb4 Toei too, but if the gods are kind enough it might be Bones or Sunrise. |
 |
Wow, that's the news of the day. I expect IG or trigger animate it |
 |
vodall said: This sounds really boring in a "lolxdrandom" kind of way. Why do people care about this? They read the manga? |

Icebreaker93 said: Go read the manga and see why ppl care so much about this. Murata's art. Nothing else |
| I just recently happened to come across the manga and it looked quite cool but I didn't start to read it then. But now that the anime is coming I think I'll give this a go. And it seems pretty popular and is ranked well here on MAL. |
ChoiDalDal said: Icebreaker93 said: Go read the manga and see why ppl care so much about this. Murata's art. Nothing else People read and enjoy One's version of the manga and I can assure you, the art isn't its strong point. |

ChoiDalDal said: Icebreaker93 said: Go read the manga and see why ppl care so much about this. Murata's art. Nothing else Definitely wrong. Why else would Murata have been that enthusiastic to make a manga out of the original webcomic otherwise? |
| Finally this is getting an anime! I've heard great things about the manga but never got around to it. I definitely will start it tonight to join in the hype. :P |
 |
| JESUS! Eureeeuryhruwuwheuwuryetru |
| I almost want to make an account just to comment when i saw this news at Animenewsnetwork ..Damn, didnt really expected this and we gonna have legendary badass in the future guyz. Really overpowered one.. |
