Anime 30276 One Punch Man Reviews Filter Check 2

Going back to One Punch Man, I really thought of something. Something that can make or break this show to several of its viewers. And that's the joke. The one prominent singular joke.

I'm not saying this is going to be a completely balanced review. And most of you might get upset over that fact, and even start to hate me for it too. And I can understand why. I would hate it if someone didn't provide both sides to the argument for my favorite show, but keep in mind that I am not authoritative force, and I cannot dictate how or what you should ... think. For all you know, you might just stumble a 4 paragraph post by me describing how shoving hotdogs up your ass is actually a good thing. But I'm hoping that maybe next time you go to the grill, you can ponder on what you're going to do with that hotdog. Or maybe you still won't do that, but you'll at least know why some people might like sticking hotdogs up their ass. But anyways, let's get on with this review.

One Punch Man has got to be one of the most commonly talked about show I've seen this year, even impacting the smash community when one of the smash player's shaved their beard and started using Ryu. In all honesty, how many shows can you say do that? But does this fulfill the hype, and is this the savior of anime?

If you are like me, and expected One Punch Man to be a satire, then you will be disappointed. Rather than making fun of its tropes directly, One Punch Man parodies it instead by over-exaggerating them to the point where it becomes funny. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but there are problems with that. With the already ridiculous start of the series, it makes it hard to enjoy the jokes when they are virtually indistinguishable. You can't top off something so exaggerated, similar to how you can't top off beating an enemy with a single punch. Because of this, as the series went on, the joke lost its charm as it wasn't special anymore. After seeing a couple of episodes, you know what to expect from it, which really damaged the comedy effect. And yes, the final episodes did stray away from that, but even that was just a elongated scene of what was soon going to happen. If you really look at it, it was just Saitama getting beaten up with a variety of attacks.

The problem of One Punch Man getting repetitive may seem like a small thing, but in fact, it really isn't. When a comedy starts to get unappealing, there isn't much that can save that. The parody is all that One Punch Man seemed to offer, and if you don't like that, than you definitely won't like the show.

Near the end, it was hinted that the focus will eventually shift from the parody aspect to the side characters, something that would benefit the series as the more "Slice of Life" aspects where the strong suit of One Punch Man, but for now, the first season is all we got.

You could say that being repetitive and anticlimactic is the point of One Punch Man, and it in itself is actually also parodying the repetitive nature of most action shows, but I disagree. There should be something that would want to make the watcher come back for more. Your daily life as a human being isn't characterized by the same exact thing each time. Maybe the steps building up to 'the punchline' are different, or maybe you don't exactly engage with 'the punchline' each time. The moment in this case is the same exact thing, with the only differences being how the villains look or where the fight is taking place. What kind of show is engaging, but doesn't have an engaging story? Even if that was the point, how is it fun to watch the same thing 12 times?

If you enjoyed the parody aspect of it, then the repetitiveness of the joke shouldn't be a problem for you, but if you wanted a bit more than just that, then you won't be getting that from One Punch Man.

If anyone tells you that the animation of One Punch Man is bad, then they're just trying to shit on the show for the sake of shitting on the show. Though inconsistent at times, the show looked amazing when it called for a fight scene, and average at least when it called for a more Slice of Life moment.

The music did a good job in making you hyped and excited for each fight and episodes. It's not something I could see anyone listening outside from this anime, but it's good nevertheless in enhancing the show.

There isn't much to say in such a simple show like this. I'll ask once again if it wasn't clear the first 100 times. Did you like the joke, or did you not? After you found that out, you'll know what to do.

Every year there is at least one particular show that receives massive coverage for whatever reason.In 2015, without a question was One Punch Man's year in the spotlight and for good reason; the initial premise of One Punch seemed to be a goldmine, for it was thought to be a clever,satiristic view of the shonen and action anime that has been dominate since the last decade.
So then, with roses thrown before the curtain is raised, does One Punch Man live up to its potential ? Without even a sigh, no would be the answer.
The biggest flaws that Opm suffers from are the counter ... productive characterizations, and repetitive wall paint humor gags.
The show's content is mainly derived from Saitama and Genos fighting new villains each episodes which is axiomatically plain itself , so the show has to induce humor to make things interesting but fails to do so because the show keeps using the same joke over and over again . Speaking of Saitama and Genos, Saitama is arguably the weaker of the two because his apathetic nature makes him too static for the audience to actually care about him;Thankfully, Genos proves to be a better character because of the mystery and passion floating in his background;However, and ironically so, the most enjoyable character was one of the other heroes, Tornado; her Asuka-esque attitude and powers made her a much more attractive personality, yet we never got much from her. The action that does take place is rather vivid in fluid , thus, making the show enjoyable in that respect; the animation is nice polished as well.

At the end of the day, One Punch Man fails to do many things right but not in the extreme sense.While, It is shame that it could fulfill its potential at least it's watchable and could be considered entertaining if nothing else is on.

One Punch Man was a fairly popular anime from the tail end of last year. It was based off of a webcomic by One, which has also been adapted into a manga. The anime came from Madhouse, which could be good or bad and there's no real way to ascertain which it is just because it has a lot of fans. After all, some of the worst anime I've seen have had pretty substantive fan bases. Then again, just last week I reviewed Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig, which was both popular and really good. So, let's take a look and ... I'll see if it lives up to the hype.

Story:

Saitama is a hero for fun. When major trouble threatens people, he shows up and dispatches the threat with a single punch. There's just one problem, he's so strong that it's all become rather boring for him. The series follows Saitama as he faces various menaces, the most threatening of which is his own melancholy.

Honestly, the biggest flaw with the comedy of the series is that it gets repetitive pretty quickly. Most of it follows the same pattern. A menace shows up, gets built up as a grave and pressing threat, fighting against and beating other heroes, Saitama shows up and one shots it. In between fights we get some other jokes, a lot of which are about Saitama being bored and disinterested with what he's doing. Then we have a character who exists entirely as an unfunny gay stereotype, Puripuri Prisoner. Thankfully, he's a minor character and only shows up in a few episodes but his scenes can be pretty cringe-worthy.

On the positive side, the main repeated joke of the series can be funny a few times and there are some pretty amusing scenes betwixt the action sequences. Some of which are actually quite clever in the ways they tackle shounen action series tropes.

Characters:

Most of the characters in One Punch Man are pretty stock action tropes with a comedic twist. They aren't particularly complex but most of them are perfectly good for a parody work. I actually do quite like the contrasting dynamic with Saitama's more jaded and frivolous outlook with Genos' more youthful and serious outlook. The best moments in the series come from these two playing off of one another. There are other characters with potential but, due to the short length of the series, a lot of them end up getting used for a single joke and don't really get any interactions or dynamics to play off of their potential.

Art:

The artwork and animation are both really good in this series. The action sequences, at least before Saitama shows up, can be really interesting to see, even though you know how they're going to end. There are also some really nice and detailed villain designs in this. The one major flaw is that the action scenes get boring and repetitive when Saitama is involved. They either end really quickly or he lets the villain knock him around for a bit without any concern before ending it.

Sound:

The voice acting is okay. There are some strong actors in this and they give perfectly passable performances. They're just not particularly good or memorable. The music is pretty standard. It's not bad nor is it good. It's just functional.

Ho-yay:

Aside from our stereotype running around and frightening guys he finds attractive, there isn't any. So, this is a series that would be better with less ho-yay.

Final Thoughts:

When it comes right down to it, whether or not One Punch Man is going to work for you really depends on whether or not you're the type of person who can keep laughing at the same joke, even when you know it's coming. If you can see slightly different versions of the same joke and keep laughing, this one may have the punch for your funny bone. If, on the other hand, you're a person who needs humour to be surprising in order to get a laugh out of it, you should definitely skip it. If you're like me and you can gain amusement from the same joke under certain circumstances but you need time between the versions, I would recommend seeing it, but giving it around ten days between episodes so that it doesn't get overly repetitive for you. In the end, in spite of its short comings, it's a decent parody series. I give it a 6/10. Next week, I'm looking at Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna: Shin'en no Fairy.

*Message to everybody who saw my score and was like"What an idiot", "Is this guy serious", "This man clearly has no taste in anime", "Uncultured Swine". Keep in mind EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO THEIR OWN OPINION*

This is my first and probably my last anime review, but I write this with the purpose being so that I don't forget the reason why I didn't really like this anime which puts me into the minority of people who have watched it. So in turn, I won't give you a real review with a story, art, sound, etc. numerical value breakdown but just a semi-short breakdown of ... the show as a whole. I also have NO PROBLEM with the character being completely over powered and that this is an end game shounen... just putting that out there.

GOOD
=====
Madhouse does it again with their Art and Sound...

BAD
====
Overall, I can't see what makes this show a 10/10 to other people, but everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I believe that the major problem I have with the show is that it is episodic. There was very little plot to start with and on top of that I started to realize that there would be no plot advancement due to the show being episodic. If that's the case than why don't I just go watch modern day television. I myself enjoy shows with a great story and overall character development which I just think this show lacks in general. I mean did Saitama really gain his superpowers that way...really? Where are all these super villains coming from? How did they get their powers? How did the Heroes get their powers? How did the Hero Association come to exist? Will at least some of the extensive amount of questions I have ever really be answered? Find out on the next episode of One Punch Man... Oh wait I guess we won't will we? Oh yeah.. Episodic, I forgot... sigh.... but I regress.

There is also the problem I have with the characters. This show is also what I believe to be a solely comedic anime, hence the characters look, feel, act, and just how dense they can be, but like I said that's probably due to this being a comedy. Another reason for my dislike would be the that I find the Comedy of it to be really dry and unsavory, but that's my own sense of humor. If others find that sort of comedy amusing, than I can see why. This show also takes 5-6 episodes in my opinion to pick up and even start showing signs of a potential story(The story pickup in my eyes by the way is the introduction of the Hero Association). That's almost HALF the show.

Overall
======
After finishing the show, It has definitely come to grow on me.... at least a little. I also do believe that their should be a second season of One Punch Man and i'm sure there will be due to its immense popularity. But I only say this in the hopes that the second season will be where the actual story lies.
Hopefully the people who read this can see my reasoning behind this and not just write me off as an Anime Pleeb. Thanks for reading!

Ok so it's time to give OPM what it deserve. The show was promising and fun to watch at the begining but at the end of the last episode, I had only one word in my head : flat. The story is flat, the background is flat, the characters are flat, tatsumaki is flat and so is Saitama's face. At least there are a good match. It was disappointing. "What I am watching ? Even Bleach and Fairy Tail have better characters and storyline" and oh god I really hate Fairy Tail.
The concept was fine, but one shot everyone is really boring if you ... don't show something else. So let me guess what will happen next ? A new villain will appear, Genos will get destroyed, then X randoms heros will get beatten too and Saitama will do the job and Mumen Rider will get the credits. Such suspense, much originality, very surprised WoW. Doge approuves.

Madhouse saved a part of the show thanks to a very good animation, but once again I was disappointed by Saitama's fight. I had very high expectations since the show can only provides fighs, and once again it was average. The fights are just empty and even the last one was lame. Saitaima get punched again and again taking the hits like it was nothing, just lost in though.... "Oh Gosh hit him already !" Then Saitama wakes-up to blow the guy in one hit. "Okay guys we need a new fight idea" 1) "Make more stupid ennemies" 2) "Saitama wins in two punchs" 3) "what about something that balance the fights ?" ... Get the meme reference ?

So OPM looks like Bleach with poor dialogues, poor storyline, no characters developpement and so on. You cloud say "OPM only has 12 episodes". It's true. But even in 12 épisodes a show needs to bring some background / storyline to be better than just a chain of stupid fights. In this regards, OPM failed. We can say that OPM is a blockbuster and easily enjoyable but don't expect too much.

And obviously, I didn't find it funny at all.

In the end, even Bleach is way better as a Bankai is more impressive than a one punch man.

I don't normally look at this site's review average before watching an anime, but OnePunch Man getting a 9.02 is worthy of a few eyebrows. Naturally my curiosity piqued and I started watching it. Is it enjoyable? Yeah maybe. Is it worthy of a 9/10. No, most definitely not.

OnePunch Man as an anime set itself out to be a parody of shounen hero animes. As in, it sets itself out to be different than your typical shounen show (hah pun laugh dammit). The concept itself (and by extension the first episode) is a good representation of that, Saitama is portrayed as a boring invincible hero ... and uses very normal offense and defense moves instead of standard flashy attacks and doesn't announce his moves. In fact, the first episode alone makes for very good episode, but a gimmicky one at that that doesn't lend itself to be extended into a series.

The problem with OnePunch Man is that, with a character so absurdly powerful such that all battles end with one punch, action scenes lose their tension and therefore become dull. The first episode played on this joke well enough, but when the following episodes start doing it, you really start to lose interest in the fight scenes. Most people recommending me this series told me that the series is mostly comedy, not action. Those people are dirty filthy liars. OnePunch Man should NOT have been done as an action series primarily, and should have been a comedy series first and foremost with fights serving as prelude or outcome of a gag and not the crux of the episodes.

Most action scenes either involve Genos or the other loser heroes from the Hero Association. The thing is, once the episode starts focusing on them (they do towards the 2nd half with the introduction of the Sea King arc and the Boros arc) instead of Saitama, then OnePunch Man starts to lose its identity ; it just ends up delving into generic shounen action anime while the heroes get jobbed and wait for Saitama to finish the monsters off. Also none of the heroes ever get into a life-threatening situation where any tension or drama can be felt, instead after you see that one guy survive the so-called lethal blow by the Sea King in episode 7 or so, you know for sure none of the heroes are gonna be facing any situation that may put their lives in peril. This severely diminishes any effect the fight may otherwise have.

Even the comedy scenes, few as they are, aren't that special or anything. It's fairly hit and miss, and most of the best scenes are in the first few episodes. The one memorable comedic moment I can remember from the anime (outside the OP where he punches the star man) is from the last episode where Saitama asked for directions out of the spaceship only to go in the opposite direction, grinning like a maniac, to fight the bad guys. Scenes like this are surprisingly rare for a comedy series, scenes that work so well and have perfect comedic timing aren't easy to find. Most of the jokes generally involve Saitama's superhuman strength despite his very average appearance/fighting style and they wear off really quickly.

The plot itself is alright, I wasn't expecting much out of a series that set itself to be a parody of the shounen genre, but I really didn't like how they handled the exposition scenes. Often characters just break and go on rambling on and on. Occasionally Saitama butts in and tells them to can it, but only very late after almost the entire expository scene is done. The central theme in which a true hero is not necessarily a highly-ranked one, or one associated with some form of bureaucracy isn't conveyed well. In the sense that Genos, Saitama and Momen Rider are obviously people the show wants you to root for while everyone else is either a jerk or a perv or comically evil but still part of the Hero Association for one reason or another. They are very one-dimensional and given how many characters there are, you hardly get to have any screentime with some of the Class S heroes even. Characters like Tatsumaki and Sweet Mask make like a cameo at best and what's worse is that their importance is only teased at the very end of the series. If the anime doesn't get a continuation (very unlikely), that means essentially this whole series is one big product placement for the manga series, like most manga-to-anime adaptations.

In conclusion, despite its many flaws, OnePunch Man is still very much watchable. Just don't go in expecting anything spectacular. Like its titular character, Saitama, OnePunch Man is ultimately very average.

6/10
Slightly above average because there was nothing else good on Winter Season. Tentative score, may revisit on a later date.

A simple webcomic with sloppy drawing and started out as a hobby, re-drawn by a god-tier manga artist, and now it has an anime adaptation which is now the most Popular Anime of the Decade. This Anime exceeds the expectation of the many which makes this anime incredible especially for its fight scenes, but for now, it has ended and we have to wait for more than a year in order for this anime to have a sequel, since the source material still lacks for it to be animated.


Anime vs. Manga vs. Webcomic
Now I just want to tell people that I’ve read the Manga version ... and the Webcomic before this anime was announced, it was March at that time, going back to its comparison the Anime is no doubt the best of the three, since it’s the final package of adaptation, but it doesn’t mean the Manga can be ignored that has breathtaking art almost comparable to its anime, as for the Webcomic, which is the origin of the series, excels in plot and character development, the crème of OPM series which lacks on the anime. The Webcomic has already finished its top notch arc, the Garou Arc, but the manga is still preparing for that arc which is the most incredible plot with great character development with balanced fights of OPM series, though I don’t want to talk about it since it will be a spoiler and it’s not yet re-drawn.


It is indeed unique, unlike any shounen premise which has a basic formula of “Fight and Train until you get stronger” nor the western style of “Super” w/ a story of fighting for humanity. OPM utilizes itself for its “Gag Purposes” that destroys the common principle styles and logic which is always used on many shows and series and which destroys what was set in the common mentality. The story is incomplete that leaves me unsatisfied, the story in the Webcomic is yet to come and the manga has uncovered many characters which makes it fun to read, but the anime is still on its introduction, more likely, it has covered up its awesomeness of its theme, and after that, is quite underwhelming, but It doesn’t mean I didn’t like it, but rather, it is really predictable when it comes to plot device, we already know who’s going to win, so basically we already know what’s going to happen and we’re just waiting for to see the results, the reaction and the scale of the fight. It needs a sequel to appreciate this anime completely, and because of that I encourage people to read the Manga at Chapter 37, and if you’re into plot, just finish the ongoing manga and read the Webcomic version at Chapter 51.


Aesthetic sound and Visually Outstanding, when it comes to its Output, everything is just awesome, no doubt that this is one of the best anime when it comes to Art and Sound, it’s really good that even reading the manga the anime had exceed my expectation, the only problem when it comes to animation was the “Impact Factor” the manga did it, every small detail of art nor the casual and funny scenes is just artistically outstanding, well the manga has the best dedicated manga artist who dedicated his life into it, going back to the anime, the art of the anime is good, but sometimes it becomes mediocre then it goes to fight scenes, the show cuts loose with evocative smears, spinning cameras, and wild linework combined with great guitar solo and memorable music which brings the fights into life, so it’s like a switch, it’s like an “on and off” concept which makes the anime sometimes underwhelming, especially after overwhelming fights which heightens the tension of the anime scene. The Last episode is the very evidence of it, the first half was just awesome, then the second half is quite underwhelming.


What made me love this anime was the Sound, it’s the best, I wish I can copy the guitar solos through hearing, but for now, I want to point out that this Anime has a magnificent anime Opening, which didn’t spoil any audiences and have created a story while showing how cool Saitama is, and the Background music which livens everything especially when it comes to its fighting scenes, the only thing that I hate was the Ending[ed] especially the memorable alarm clock with a sad song to end its awesomeness of each episode.


Now for the characters, the highlights of the whole series, they are just memorable, they’ve got unique appeal and their character designs fit their very image. There’s a simple symbolism for Saitama and Genos, they are liken to Yin[white and Yang[black] that balances them in this series. Though Saitama’s Highlights would fall to episode 7 and 9, I don’t want to talk about since it will be a spoiler for those who didn’t watch the anime. OPM’s supporting characters makes this story, they are appealing and they are awesome, but only few of them have developed and the others were just shown just to show their scale of power to win the fight, to observe, or to lose the fight. The antagonist are very clichéd, there’s nothing bad to them nor good points, they are just there to show the scale of power of different level and to be defeated by mc, fortunately some heroes were given a time to show off their skills. There might be flaws when it comes to plot character device, but there are some hidden ethics and logic in this anime, and there’s more in the its manga and webcomic.


Now most of the viewers have enjoyed this anime, while some have loathed it since its too overrated, but for me, it’s really good, the fighting scenes was good, one of the best executed anime, it’s jaw dropping and the visually stunning with great combination of impressive sound, the characters are really unique that many people have been captivated into them. Many have created thousands of arts, have been cosplayed by many audiences, many have become bald just to do that, and many who are new to anime have watched this and most of all, it’s heavily known throughout the world, it’s just popular that it has conquered social meds, forums and more. It’s funny(not sure why some people doesn’t find it funny) and sometimes it touches the audiences, but most of the time, it’s awesome.


It’s worth to watch, it’s an all ages anime[but it’s R - 17+ (violence & profanity)] it’s really good to recommend it to new to anime, but the anime is still incomplete, it needs a sequel in order to bring out its full potential, it’s still lacks since it has covered only the first half of the whole series, while the best quality of this series exist in its manga and webcomic.


The anime is really good and no doubt enjoyable, the people behind it made it really good, and the funny thing is, people were inspired by Saitama’s Training Regimen that many NEETS, Otakus and many more have worked out that a joke turned into motivation. I want to recommend this as an action comedy, highly recommended for new to anime viewers and casual viewers.

WORD OF WARNING: MY REVIEW IS ON THE ANIME AND THE ANIME ALONE. I HAVE NOT READ THE MANGA OR THE WEB-COMIC.

I just don't understand the massive hype that surrounds One Punch Man. Everyone around me seems to have nothing but praise for it, whilst I'm sitting here - blankly - trying to figure out what was just so damn innovative about this anime. There was virtually no plot to One Punch Man and there is only so much humour can do to prop up something that doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Speaking of the humour; it was funny - at first. There was ... a wry and satirical element to it that was quite charming. However, it wore thin and One Punch Man ended up feeling like a parody that had become a parody of itself due to the crap script and lack of an actual storyline. This probably has something to do with the fact that the Producers want to milk OPM for many seasons, but a lot of potential plot threads were left untouched and just hanging without any of the characters acknowledging their existence - almost as if those events never happened in the first place. It wasn't exactly frustrating, but moreso boring because OPM began to rely too heavily on a monster-of-the-week format, without hinting at even a semblance of an overarching plot. This meant that once I went to bed, and then woke up, I couldn't really remember what had happened in OPM the night before (and I have a very good memory).

I think that speaks as a fundamental flaw regarding OPM because if it doesn't leave a lasting impression on one's mind how good can it really be, right?

Even Saitama became boring to me mainly because the plot nowhere which meant that his character really didn't have any room to grow as a person. Once he became a member of the Hero Association, whatever development his character was experiencing suddenly stopped. He remained the same nonchalant and deadpan person that he was for the rest of the anime, which was, frankly, rather dull and did nothing to capture one's interest. He just remained flat.

I did enjoy supporting characters such as Genos, Sonic and Silverfang but it was just really difficult for me to root for Saitama when he was just so unappealing to me - personality wise, that is. (I care little for a characters looks.)

On a more positive note, I thought the animation of OPM was very, very good. The animators did a very good job in capturing Saitama's expressions and I was found it enjoyable watching his fight scenes and seeing him get excited. The OST matched very well to every frame, as well, though I sometimes found the electric guitar riffs a bit annoying. The closing theme was very beautiful too.

Also, despite my complaints regarding OPM it didn't bore me enough to force me to watch it and I did end up finishing it. I guess there was some sort of a charm to it, though it was significantly dulled by the end and I can't guarantee that I'll return for season 2.

Before we start, sorry for English!!
[THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW SO PLEASE BE GENTLE]

At first, when OPM was airing, It didn't pick my interest, I wasn't planning to watch it, but on sites like MAL, Hummingbird, Kissanime, Masterani etc. OPM was very appreciated, and very well rated. Everyone was like "Best anime ever", "Anime of the year, 100%", "Finally anime worth watching". I was so excited, and decided to wait until the last episode so that I don't need to wait every week for a new one. I excepted huge team fights between Heros and Villains, where on verge of defeat MC jumps in, and ... defeat all enemies with single punch, like a BADASS, but instead of Heroes vs Villans, we have Saitama vs Villains, where he kills opponent with one punch and End the day(sure fights are cool, and animation is Godlike, but it's boring, and it isn't funny as they thought it would be, at least not for me). In every episode there is a new Nemesis that is cocky as fuck, and thinks that he is the Main dick of all Villains, and every one of them gets killed by Saitama with one punch(I know that name of anime is "ONE PUNCH MAN", but it isn't funny). As for Saitama, well he is one of Gods blessings. There is not much to tell about him, he is strong, very strong, too strong, one of strongest anime characters ever, he is bald, he isn't very smart, he doesn't care for anything(except bargain day at the supermarket) because he is strongest, he is poor, and he is looking for worthy opponent. There is Genos, another very cool character, he is android and Saitamas friend. There are few other characters that I liked, but I decided to mention only MCs. Animation and art are EPIC and BEAUTIFUL. I personally didn't see an anime with better animation and art except Fate series. Battles are Godlike(I hate when Saitama fights, because he is screwing with his opponents for a while, and kills them with one punch afterwards), I especially enjoy Genos's fights even tho he always lose a big fight, I really love to see him firing flames(they are well animated, beautiful, and detailed). Soundtrack is good, and it really gets you hyped for battle, but you can only enjoy this anime when you watch battles. When they are not fighting, they are just screwing around, trying to be funny, but fail badly. That's all from me. I hope I was from any help, but if I wasn't, sorry for wasting your time.

If I had to define one punch man with a serious word "repetitive", the series only has a joke that is repeated throughout the 12 episodes, there were already series like DB that also used this same joke, the difference of OPM and DB is that at least this series (DB) does not repeat this joke in all episodes (and before they say anything, yes, one punch man has a history Saitama search for recognition, but the plot does not advance, in the first chapter Saitama defeated his enemies easily and in the latter too.
the series is adding characters that do not contribute anything to ... the plot, all they do is make time until Saitama comes and defeats him.
conclusion: an overrated and over-thought anime by users (cof cof talking vidya cof cof) 5/10


español:si tuviera que definir one punch man con una palabra seria "repetitivo",la serie solo tiene un chiste que se repite a lo largo de los 12 episodios,ya había series como DB que también usaban este mismo chiste,la diferencia de OPM y DB es que al menos esta serie (DB) no repite este chiste en todos los episodios ( y antes de que digan nada,si, one punch man tiene una historia búsqueda de Saitama por obtener reconocimiento,pero la trama no avanza,en el primer capitulo saitama derrotaba a sus enemigos fácil mente y en el ultimo también.
la serie va añadiendo personajes que no aportan nada a la trama,todo lo que hacen es hacer tiempo hasta que Saitama venga y lo derrote.
conclusión: un anime sobrevalorado y sobre pensado por los usuarios (cof cof talking vidya cof cof) 5/10

Have you watched Dragon Ball, Hunter x Hunter, Bobobo, Kinnikuman, Fullmetal Alchemist? Then don't bother with this one. Nothing new, not really done any better. If all you have ever watched are shows with completely serious super heroes, then sure, you'll love OPM.
This wasn't more interesting than HxH, and neither was it more random and funny than Bobobo and Kinnikuman, it was just overall shallow. As I watched OPM, I felt as if had already seen it all before (and not that it was so great the first time that it was worth doing it again).
Since you can never take seriously any of the characters, ... when they do stupid shit you are already expecting it. The jokes are not especially good, and the story is simple as can be.
The art and sound were well done, but destroyed cities, fights and fire have been beaten to death for long. Lots of better anime out there.

First half of the series where it focused on Saitama (aka. One Punch Man) was unique and entertaining to say the least, enough to recommend it to the non-otakus out there. However once the unessential characters (everyone else except Saitama) started having longer screen times then it felt forced. It's like the writer/s wanted to give the uninteresting extras their own backstory or something.

I appreciated the satire of monsters wanting to eradicate all of humanity for no apparent reason with the uninterested bald hero destroying them effortlessly. Satire are a dime a dozen and they should have stuck to their guns instead of going generic ... action anime sausage-fest.

Overall, the show has good action and is relatively funny. It is over the top and fun for a while but trends towards becoming predictable.

On further reflection, I feel this show is actually supposed to be satire. The main character is a NEET ("Not in Education, Employment, or Training"), he is an extraoridanry indivitual, does not get recongnized for his potential, other people get credit for his accomplishments, his superior are less compentent then himself, so on and so fourth. Do you have a similar sentiments regarding the situation in your own life? You better be as amazing as One-Punch Man otherwise, get a job.

The ... events in the show really drive a the above message home.

Ok. Started out really interesting and funny. I wasn't focusing on the combat scenes much because it was pretty predictable after a couple of scenes and i thought that wasn't the point of this anime. But then, more boring and cheesy fighting scenes. Kinda killed the characters for me.

The characters were pretty cool and loved the dynamics between them. It's just everything went downhill after the 7th or 8th episode. The story could have been more interesting. I mean since episode 8 I've been watching an episode every month or something. The last episode was so slow and it felt like i was watching ... it for so long, I had to browse the internet while watching. I'm glad i finished it. Definitely not watching season 2 unless with a couple of friends to joke on it.

First time writing a review for an animation on this site, so the varied categories are helpful for being more precise with what you like about a show, but in a way that only makes the digression of assigning a number to something all the more difficult, especially for someone with such a limited experience of anime like me.

So I'll leave it at a 6, which for me really means a 3/5, I like that scale better. The show was fine enough, not as funny as I thought it was going to be. Thinking back on it, the only part I can remember enjoying and ... laughing was Saitama going off at the Hero training test and the switch from the normal artstyle to the intense artstyle. But beyond that there wasn't anything touching about the show, not even the idea of Saitama feeling depression from it all.

By the end I can only think of the show as mildly interesting. It's almost like the opposite of Mob Psycho 100 for me. Mob was a show that kind of got me back into the fun feeling of shonen anime like watching Naruto when I was younger, but once the anime was done I had no real desire to watch any more of it. Now with One Punch Man, I didn't enjoy it that much-just wanted to get through it quickly-but now would like to even go read the later issues. Everyone knew by the end of the anime that there is nothing left for Saitama to really do, and now we only have certain plot threads to go through with the other heroes bickering with each other. If that's where the writer wants to really go with it, then I'll read it, because right now that sounds kind of interesting, but as for the show, it was perfectly fine and others may find it fun, but I won't be rewatching.

first things first i didn't like OPM probably bcoz i had too much expectations from the hype it was getting and got disappointed in the end although it wasnt a bad show.

so here goes my review:

story 2/10:
well its same pattern till the end a bad guy comes kicks all the hero's asses to show how powerful he is then our super op mc comes and defeats him with one punch with "so easy" face just to be funny. Well it worked as a gag at 1st then i got bored of it.

Art 9/10:
Art ... was nice nothing to complain here.

Sound 7/10:
Sound was decent too.

Character 5/10:
Everyone had their unique personalities which was nice but dont hope for any character development.our 2nd mc Genos was their to get his ass kicked 1st b4 mc comes puts everyone in awe how easily he beat bad guy to even make people think that he cheated lol.

Enjoyment 2/10:
Didnt enjoy it bcoz of my high expectations which i gave up after 3 ep then i was watching for comedy which didnt really had much impact either only the action was good to enjoy

Overall 6/10:
After all my complaints it was still a decent show.They couldnt have done much with the concept they chose of one hitting every bad guy. everything was done properly but it gets boring after 1st few ep ,showing same patterns which makes us easily predict what to expect next.

Doesn't do justice to the manga at all. Misses the points of the manga that go beyond "Saitama is broken strong, mmmkay?". Barely does any of the more subtle undertones which give its real value to the OPM manga and it's a whole lot of flash and barely half of the original material.

It's visually impressive and the music certainly does a great job too, there's lots of nice scenes but for all the nice things to look at I still felt like it was just a "saitama is strong" anime with a ton of loud clear-cut parody of manga tropes, rather than the clever ... and very subtle parody that goes along with the loud and obvious parody that can both be found in the manga.

It's fun but all I wanted to do watching it was stop and go read the manga again.

One Punch man is an amazing anime, and would almost get a 10 out of me for sure! Well, if it wasn't for Saitama, the One Punch Man.

The art and the sound are sublime. The battle scenes are amazing as well. Even (most of) the characters look really unique and are fun to watch to say the least. It's all just so good! The story could be a bit better, but it's still decent enough to enjoy.

The only major thing that holds this anime back in my opinion, is Saitama, the One Punch Man himself. Why? Well, I call it the Superman-effect. As soon ... as Saitama appears on the scene, you 100% know the battle is already over. It doesn't matter what else is going on, how many villains there are, what plans or overwhelming power any of them have left... Once the One Punch Man is there, he owns literally everyone without even shedding a single drop of sweat.

I get that it's meant to be a joke/parody in and of itself, and that it shouldn't be taken too seriously... But this just kills the excitement for me, to be honest.

This was the case with almost every fight, where it was super interesting to watch, but then One Punch Man shows up and it ends instantly. No damage taken, no effort put in, usually over in literally one hit (hence Saitama's title)... This is not only very boring, but it also cuts so many interesting villains short.

I'm ok with a lot of overpowered anime protagonists, at least most of them still seem to have to put in some effort. But when One Punch Man can literally take no damage while dealing out an infinite amount himself, all while putting in no effort whatsoever, I start hoping he DOESN'T appear and let the fighting to all the other heroes... If only to make the battles exciting to watch.

Still, despite the horrible character that is Saitama, the rest of the anime remains really enjoying to watch, so it'll get a pass from me.

Before I start this review, I warn you that there will be minor spoilers, and also that this review is a little bit biased, as I strongly disagree with it's overall rating that the community has given to it, but I'll try to be as objective as possible. Now let's get started.

Story: 6/10
Now, I admit that the story it's kinda original, but nothing that no one could imagine. It's about a guy who one-shots everything with a single punch (pretty obvious from the tittle), and about how he struggles to deal with problems that require more thinking than punching. Now, that sounds pretty cool, not ... gonna lie, but I think almost anyone could have imagined something similar.

Art: 9/10
This is something I HAVE to congratulate Madhouse for. You know how in a lot of series there are these particular scenes which are extremly more fluent than how it's normally in this series? Yeah? Well, in OPM you'll find them EVERYWHERE. And the fact that they hired internet talents to experiment with the animation is just fantastic. This is probably the biggest pro to this series, in my opinion.

Sound: 8/10
The songs in this series are great, full of hype, fitting for the series and overall fantastic. I didn't found anything that is particularly outstanding, but it does it's job and it does it incredibly.

Characters: 4/10
This is, in my opinion, where the series starts to fall apart. I seriously don't feel any emotion awoken in me when I remember ANY of the characters. As an overall group, it's too simple, plain and without any emotion other than hype. Even in other series that are known for their amazing action scenes, like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, there is some incredibly good character development. In this particular series, the only ones who changed are Doctor Genus (which is a villain that appears in, I think ONE episode) and Genos, because he realizes that he must learn from Saitama to be stronger.

Enjoyment: 7/10
Even though I never yelled, cried or sat in the edge of my seat, I still enjoyed this series very much. I think everyone will find this series entretaining if nothing else.

Overall: 6/10
In my opinion, this anime was nothing more than an action full series, that will be more enjoyable to the kind of people that don't like to think that much or get complicated stories. For me, I did enjoy it, but that's it. It didn't tought me anything, it didn't made me think. Overall, if you're in for good laughs and great fight scenes, I would totally recomend watching this, but for the kind of people who prefer darker, deeper or more complicated plots or groups of characters, I wouldn't judge if you just ignored this series.

And, last statement, in my opinion, this anime is not bad, but it's very overrated.

As far as story goes, I admit, it's quite original, but it gets repetitive too fast to the point that you get bored.
About artstyle and ost no major complains here, very good artstyle.

Than we have the character: the main character is boring, the author tries to make you laugh in every way, but it simply doesn't work.
As far as supporting character some of them are quite good, but overall they are pretty insignificant, you will rember at most 3 or 4 of them. The foes are even worse, basically no characterisation whatsoever, just buff dudes waiting to be defeated.
I didn't enjoy ... one bit this show, maybe i don't get the comedy behind it, but I think I'm not the only one.
The problem with comedy is too subjective, some might like it, some don't
