The Japanese company Bandai Namco recently presented new business figures – and the current results of the most successful brands are probably quite surprising for fans. We summarize.
“One-Punch Man” as a positive example
In the annual report for the fiscal year 2025/26 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), Bandai Namco highlights the strong development of its “Visual & Music” segment. This recorded a profit increase of 3.4 percent compared to the previous year.
In addition to the success of “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX”, the company also cites the strong global performance of older “Gundam” titles and “One-Punch Man” as one of the factors for the positive development.
It is noteworthy that “One-Punch Man” was not mentioned in the previous year’s annual report. Now Bandai Namco cites the anime adaptation as one of the examples of the positive development of the segment.
For many fans, this should be a clear sign that the series continues to play a major role within the group despite the heavily criticized third season. A sequel is in the works and is planned for next year.
