One Punch Man Season 3 is finally set to arrive in October 2025, but the marketing buildup has been surprisingly quiet. With only weeks to go, there’s still no full-length trailer. So far, fans have seen two TV spots (15 and 30 seconds), a short PV1 teaser, and the original 2022 announcement video. For a series with such massive global hype, many feel the reserved promotion is out of step with expectations.
That silence has sparked a mix of amusement and frustration across the community. In a Reddit discussion about the 30-second TV ad, Bonvantius joked, “Can’t wait for ONE FRAME MAN to join the ranks of Seven Deadly Frames and Frame Lock,” riffing on the limited animation shown so far. Grutrissheit was more blunt: “You know something is up when the trailer for an action anime barely showed any movements.”
Others worry the project isn’t getting the resources it deserves. TheEVILPINGU reflected, “OPM Season 1 is a global phenomenon… I can’t fathom how they could butcher a series like this with such a low budget.” For some, delaying would be better than disappointing: Mr_Wanwanwolf-san asked, “Anyone else wish they would just stop making seasons until they can do it right? You’d think they’d treat a series this popular with more care.”
There’s cautious optimism, too. opkpopfanboyv3 noted, “They’re all just… walking lol. I’m rooting for the director, but right now this looks like the replacement of PNG Lock.” Despite the criticism, passion for the franchise remains sky-high. MassiveBlackHole99 summed up the mood: “OPM is literally popular everywhere even in Japan, it’s honestly a shame this is happening to the series.” And viciadoemsono captured the impatience behind the rush: “So why rush these seasons out at all? Because money.”
