Back in May, Viz Media revealed that they’d secured the “Master License” for One-Punch Man season 2, prompting many anime fans to speculate that season 2 was approaching faster than initially anticipated.
Originally a Madhouse anime adaptation, the second season has jumped ship to Studio J.C. Staff. Most fans believe the studio switch is what’s causing the delay.
Nevertheless, Yonkou’s video below reveals that a special event for One Punch Man is being held on Sunday and that the first episode of season 2 will be screened. Furthermore, the season 2 premiere will also be streamed online.
As for the bad news, it seems that there’s still a bit of wait for One Punch Man season 2’s official release. Per Yonkou, additional episodes after the premiere won’t start airing until Winter 2020 (January 2020).
