Details are scants, but the anime’s official Twitter confirmed the announcement.
One-Punch Man debuted as a web comic, but went on to spawn a manga in 2012, while the Madhouse anime originally debuted in fall 2015.

How is this good news? I thought OPM sucked according to Kotaku!
No? I remember most of the articles being positive.
There was a review they did initially that got a lot of backlash because the guy just didn’t like it cause it didn’t fit his anime harem fantasy.
Richard Eisenbeis – who writes most of the extended articles on anime here on Kotaku – basically ignored OPM for 2015. It didn’t rate a single mention (outside of the comment section) in “Five Must-Watch Anime For Fall 2015” (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/11/five-must-watch-anime-for-fall-2015/) and couldn’t even get a mention as runner-up in “The Five Best Anime Of 2015” (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/12/the-five-best-anime-of-2015/).
It wasn’t until late January this year – a month after the first season ended – that we suddenly got two articles about OPM from two authors. Serrels’ article was definitely a positive one, but Eisenbeis didn’t seem hugely impressed by the series (which by then would have surprised nobody given that he was the one to write the Must-Watch and Best of… lists).
It was bizarre to see every other pop culture website psyched about OPM from start to finish, only to have Kotaku completely ignore it.
Serrels gave it a great review.
Wasnt a review… It was a “best anime this season” article and OMP didnt make his list and comments were all for OMP.

Did anyone think they wouldn’t make a second season?
I think it had more to do with content. The first season covered the first 50ish chapters of the manga, so the second should cover the second 50ish, which I understand only recently got released.
Great news! Now holding out for Overlord season 2, which will probably not happen
I’m more holding out for a second season of Hataraku Maou-sama, which also probably not happen.
im more holding out for a second season of FireFly, which also probably not happen.
HOLY SHIT!! someone go get me a towel, quick!
Christmas came early and so did I!
