It looks like One-Punch Man may have a Titan-ic trial ahead!
…Please, feel free to tell me to stop.
The official One-Punch Man anime website updated earlier today with a pair of cast announcements. Yuuki Kaji (Attack on Titan) is pegged to play Onsoku no Sonic, the self-proclaimed “Strongest Ninja.” Aoi Yuuki (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) will lend her voice to Senritsu no Tatsumaki, an “S-Rank Esper.”
Previously, it was confirmed that Makoto Furukawa (Aldnoah.Zero) will take the lead role as Saitama, while Kaito Ishikawa (Haikyu!!) will play Genos.
In addition to the website reveals, the show’s official Twitter account tweeted the news:
