I dont think Ive watched an anime series since whenever Lupin III was on adult swim, but I watched the Quick Look for the OPM game and Bens endorsement of the show + some of the absurd stuff I saw in the game + the hellish corona world we live in convinced me to check it out. This happened Tuesday night. Now im on episode 1 of season 2.

I want to watch it forever but Im going to be done by tomorrow probably ;_;

I love all these ridiculous character designs so much, its like every episode im introduced to five more amazing characters with like two total minutes of screen time each and its great.

but also I just needed to vent that it was super frustrating that the first season didnt translate the in-world text. what a weird oversight. But its fixed in season 2 so thats good.

ok

I always wanted to ask. How is the anime? What I mean is that this guy is so strong that he beats everyone with just 1 hit right? So what is the point? Unless I am missing something?

I had the same question before I watched it, but they do make it work. The show is like halfway between an action thing and a straight up comedy. The one-punching stuff is played for laughs a fair amount, but then the show also has other good guys who arent capable of one-punching everything to death, so they still have some really cool fight sequences.

From his perspective the question is pretty much the same and he falls into depression because there's no challenge in anything. And there are still some nice fights when he's not around.

Its more like satire or comedy than it is a serious story. The point is that its funny to watch this unassuming and nondescript character one-shot these increasingly elaborate villains while the supposed heroes of the world continuously struggle (and also have no idea that Saitama exists and is 1 shotting everything)

people write off the show as they think it would be boring to see one guy win every fight in punch but the show literally revolves around everything ELSE about being a hero.

also there ARE other heroes, so you will get your "standard" action fixes too with "normal" anime fights

yes I love Mumen Rider so much

I thought I just watched him die but thankfully next scene he was just hospitalized, which honestly feels like a huge cop out, because it seems like Garou should be actually murdering people, but whatever im just glad Mumen is ok

It's a comedy, and the writer(s?) does an amazing job making an overpowered joke character like Saitama so damn relatable. The first season had me in stitches throughout and is one of the best seasons of anything I've ever watched.

The moment that Saitama reveals how exactly he got his insane power might be my favorite scene in any TV show.

I never went back and watched S2. I heard some initial negative reactions; how did it end up being compared to S1?

oh also this 100000%. Same creator, and I personally think is way better than One Punch Man but of course everyone is different.

It's definitely a comedy. I don't see how they got horror at all unless they're like "ghosts-->horror automatically" or something!

alright well I can't possibly hate on this choice either. Only thing I'd say with Jojo is that it starts off a little slow but it ramps up.

Yeah, he keeps getting faster and stronger until he's about to bash his head in with a swing Garou doesn't see coming in time but he stops just short because his sister calls out because she doesn't like him fighting/killing.

I think the action in OPM might be better, but Mob Psycho is way funnier. Its like if One Punch Man and Cromartie High School had a baby, its so good.

In Naruto you always know he's gonna win too. It's no different here. Except the story is a lot better.
