TV Anime Adaptation of 'One Punch-Man' Green-Lit [Update 3/20]
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.

And we have a nice staff here. We need not worry about the anime, as animation.

After being stuck in an abyssmal slump with shitty LN and manga adaptions like NGNL, Mahou Sensou, Mahouka, PornoKano, BTOOOOM and Co, Madhouse slowly returns to form.
Ore Monogatari has all the makings of a typical great madhouse Shoujo/Josei work, Parasyte was an adequate adaption of a manga classic and Onepunch Man is looking good as well so far. Now we just need new Ippo and Chihayafuru seasons and a release of Satoshi Kon's Dream Machine.
And a third season of Kaiji.

No doubt a top 50 in the making if it's Madhouse.
Madhouse hate in Japan
I think that's a bit leap of logic.
Just because they don't have great disc sales, doesn't mean Japanese anime fans hate them. It just seems since their financial problems, they aren't as loved as they used to be.
Old Madhouse used to do good.
From what I read, some fans have issues with their adaptations.

I just hope the sales won't suffer because of the Madhouse hate in Japan. This needs a sequel since it's likely to be 1-cour only.

Sunrise seems like a better choice.
Welp, might be unlikely, but I hope the anime doesn't flop now..

Was surprised to see it really was MADHOUSE, but I guess I was too late. I can't make the News Team (lol).

Well, their anime lineup is pretty stacked this year. Would be kinda surprising if they announce to work on another series.

Funniest Manga I have read, great art, lets hope the Anime does it justice!
It's Madhouse + manga so it's bound to be decent and not a mess like something like tokyo ghoul.
