One Punch Man season 3 announces 2025 release with 10th anniversary PV and visual

On Friday, December 13, 2024, the One Punch Man season 3 anime finally confirmed that the series is set to air in 2025, i.e., the 10th anniversary since its first season aired. The anime also announced a 10th-anniversary project with a promotional video and visual.

As fans might remember, One Punch Man season 3 was first greenlit in August 2022 only to unveil its announcement video later in February 2024. The anime did not mention a release window and kept unveiling character visuals on the first Friday of every month. Fortunately, the series has now confirmed a release window alongside its 10th-anniversary project.
