One Punch Man Season 3 Remake Could Be Coming — And It’s Not J.C.Staff Behind It
After a divisive Season 3, One Punch Man may be getting the remake fans wanted — not from J.C.Staff, MAPPA, or any major studio, but from YouTuber Middle, who has rallied an S-tier squad of fan animators to take it on.
So, this is unexpected: a One-Punch Man Season 3 remake might actually be happening — just not from the usual suspects like MAPPA, Bones, or Madhouse. A YouTuber says they are doing it with a handpicked squad of fan animators. Wild idea, solid talent, messy rollout.
What this fan remake is (and isn't)
YouTuber @Middle announced a fan-led Season 3 remake, teaming up with @FLD Studio and a roster of genuinely high-skill animators. Names attached include markReymar, konceptochannel, and 6ix.uc, among others. If you've seen markReymar's viral OPM fan fights — especially that Garou vs Gorou-Gorou piece — you know the level we're talking about. They also showed an early storyboard for a Garou fight that lines up with Season 3 material. On ambition alone, it's impressive.
The rollout got shaky fast
The announcement hit roughly 20 days ago, and for a minute it looked like momentum was real. Then the original YouTube announcement quietly vanished. No follow-up. No clarification. That single move immediately set off alarms — people are already wondering if the team is backing away from the plan. Without an update, the silence reads like a red flag.
The money question
Another wrinkle: the creators asked for donations to support the remake. Crowdfunding isn't unusual for fan projects, but timing and transparency matter. With the announcement video gone, some fans are reading the donation pitch as a bad look — passion project to some, potential cash grab to others. The optics aren't helping.
Temper those expectations
Right now, nothing about the fan remake is locked. It could happen, it could morph into something smaller, or it could quietly evaporate. And even if it moves forward, the preview they shared was essentially a single short fight scene. Fan teams typically pour energy into high-impact moments, not full-season, scene-for-scene remakes — so if this continues, expect highlight battles over a complete retelling.
What we actually know (and what's fuzzy)
- A fan remake of One-Punch Man Season 3 was announced by YouTuber @Middle with @FLD Studio.
- The team includes notable fan animators like markReymar, konceptochannel, and 6ix.uc.
- An early Garou fight storyboard/clip was shown as a proof of concept.
- The announcement dropped about 20 days ago, then the YouTube video disappeared with no follow-up.
- Donations were requested to support the project, which some fans didn't love — especially after the video vanished.
- The fan remake, if it proceeds, may focus on key fights rather than a full narrative remake.
- Separate from the fan project, general Season 3 info floating around lists: Title: 'One-Punch Man Season 3'; Studio: J.C.Staff; Release date: October 12, 2025; Genres: Action, Comedy; Where to watch: Crunchyroll, Hulu, Prime Video.
About that Season 3 info
There's a bit of confusion in the wild: one line claims Season 3 is already available on Crunchyroll, while the same batch of info also cites an October 12, 2025 release date. Those two things obviously don't fit together. Treat that as conflicting placeholder info, not confirmation.
Bottom line
I love the ambition here, and the talent is legit. But with a deleted announcement and no new updates, this fan remake is firmly in wait-and-see territory. If you're excited, cool — just keep expectations in check, and maybe keep your wallet closed until there's a clearer plan on the table.
