The official website for the anime adaptation of ONE and Yuusuke Murata’s One Punch-Man manga revealed the staff and cast for the second TV anime season on Tuesday. The series will be animated by J.C. Staff instead of Madhouse, which animated the first season of the anime. The director and sound director have also changed for the second season.

The staff for the second season will consist of:

  • Director: Chikara Sakurai (Majimoji Rurumo)
  • Sound Director: Yoshikazu Iwanami (Ajin, Dive!!, Psycho-Pass)
  • Studio: J.C. Staff (DanMachi, ToraDora!, Shokugeki no Souma)

The main cast are reprising their roles in the second season.

One Punch Man Anime Magazine Visual 01

One-Punch Man is an ongoing Japanese superhero parody webcomic created by an author using the pseudonym One which began publication in early 2009. The series quickly went viral, surpassing 7.9 million hits in June 2012. The Japanese shortened name Wanpanman is a play on the long-running children’s character Anpanman, wanpan being a contraction of wanpanchi (“one punch”). One-Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, an extremely overpowered superhero, who has grown bored by the absence of challenge in his fight against evil and seeks to find a worthy opponent.

A digital manga remake of the series, illustrated by Yusuke Murata, began publication on Shueisha’s Young Jump Web Comics website in 2012. The chapters are periodically collected and printed into tankobon volumes, with twelve released as of December 2, 2016. Viz Media has licensed the remake for English serialization in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.

A television anime adaptation by Madhouse aired in Japan between October and December 2015. It was dubbed in English during the summer of 2016. A second season is currently in the works

Here is a synopsis of the series:

In this new action-comedy, everything about a young man named Saitama screams “AVERAGE,” from his lifeless expression, to his bald head, to his unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking fellow doesn’t have your average problem… He’s actually a superhero that’s looking for tough opponents! The problem is, every time he finds a promising candidate he beats the snot out of them in one punch. Can Saitama finally find an evil villain strong enough to challenge him? Follow Saitama through his hilarious romps as he searches for new bad guys to challenge!
