For an anime to reach this fanbase is truly commendable. The action, storyline, not to mention the comedy, everything is placed in the right spot. However, with the recent big release of the preview, there has been division in the conversation among the fans. In this article, we are going to discuss what fans have to say and what the major concerns are surrounding the release dates. So, buckle up and continue reading.
The Preview That Shook the Fandom
When the official One Punch Man Season 3 preview dropped, fans were over the moon excited to share their first impressions. The visuals looked promising, there were glimpses of most of the characters. Though. There have been concerns regarding the preview consisting of too much flashy statistics, but it won’t be true to say that it didn’t make fans happy. After such a long gap when the series is finally dropping a season, surely there will be mixed reaction. Fans were expecting more intense scenes from the preview, more actions.
Clearly, there’s a division, but not necessarily in a negative way. The debate shows how deeply people care about this anime. They don’t just want more One Punch Man; they want it done right. The lack of intensity might have started a two-way discussion, but still, it can be seen that fans really are excited about the big release. This anime being one of the most action anime, people are expecting more closely knitted fights. Which in every way is valid. Now, it’s upon the release that we know what direction the conversation is going to take.
The Long Gap Between Seasons
The wait of four years is a long time. In this gap, many new fans have joined the community since 2019, and others have moved on. For those who have stayed, this announcement brought huge excitement. Fans are seen discussing how they are reminded of the very first season from the teasers. The action, story, and humour are going to bring a wave of fresh memories. Despite the lack of action in the preview the story and seeing the favorite characters back on screen has made the fans jolly.
Fans can expect
There could be more S-Class Hero Screen Time. The return of the favorites, including Tatsumaki, Genos, King, and Bang. A hint of Garou’s Full Evolution and his journey from human to something more monstrous. Of course, our bald hero will continue to question what it means to be strong in a world where no one can challenge him. Get ready for bigger, Bloodier Battles: If adapted faithfully, the Monster Association fights will easily be among the most visually spectacular moments in the series.
Why Fans Still Believe
There is so much on the plate of fans currently, but one thing that is for sure is that they haven’t lost all faith. Do you remember season 2? The reaction received after the season was heavily mixed with criticism. Even with all the backlash, Saitama remains the favorite for many to this day. This shows how loyal the fanbase of this anime is. Also, not forgetting that ONE, the original creator, continues to be closely involved in the anime, gives people hope. Fans can also expect a lot of action this time around, as not including many fighting scenes could only mean one thing, and that is keeping the fire ablaze.

Final Thoughts
The final question is, should fans be worried? The answer is maybe a little. The preview raised valid concerns, and what the studios have given with the earlier two seasons has raised the bar really high. Especially the first season, which brought the manga to new heights. The combination of action and comedy and the timely delivery made the anime one of the most hyped of all time.
Though the fans are divided, there is no less eagerness for the new release. The murmur before the official dates always comes with lots of criticism and compliments. What matters most is when One Punch Man season 3 actually releases. Because so far, we have always been flattered by the exceeding expectation this franchise has offered. So, without much thought, we can patiently wait for 12th October and see what Saitama brings this time to us.
