Am I the only one who thinks that One Punch Man is really overrated?
Yes.

Fuck you man, its hilarious. That one time he one punched a thing, I nearly choked on my dorritos.
Get it? Onepunch-man
>>134508105
Yes.
You are that special after all.
>>134508105
it's a great parody. if you're taking it seriously then yes you are.
>>134508181
Thank you for actually saying something intelligible. I'm not sure why but I just can't seem to get into it.
>>134508226
Yeah people tend to forget that ONE started one punch man as a hobby and to improve his drawing style that's why saitama is doing hero things as a hobby in the first place. The guy didn't have any plot in mind before it went viral. And i think he still don't. don't get me wrong i read one punch since years now (webcomic) but i don't take it seriously like some normiefags it's just enjoyable and funny to read that's it and that's really the whole point.
>>134508105
>Am I the only one
humans are known for their shit taste and considering there are 7.3 billion people on the planet, the likelyhood of you being the only one with shit taste is rather low. Think before asking stupid questions.
>>134508714
When I posed my question it was not so much to receive a simple yes or no, I was looking for people to either tell me that they aren't a huge fan of it either or explain to me why they like it. Also there isn't really such a thing as 'shit taste' because everyone has their own opinion. In your opinion my taste may be shit, but in my opinion yours could be shit.

Is actually a deconstruction of shonen
Is a great parody but the fanbase... is shit and full of normies
Is the SnK, SAO of the season
Better go back to cute girls doing cute things, moeshit eater.
>>134508894
yeah i know and i figured out since a long time ago but it's more enjoyable if you don't take the serie seriously at all.
>>134508105
Yes.
>>134508860
>Common Fanbase OPM
Jesus... could be anime go back to the weeabos pls? Normies kill all the industry
It's a trash series.
It's not even a good parody. Good parodies have more strings to their bow than one joke, and no, being self-aware doesn't make it any better.
Retards eat this up because it's very simple humor that's easy for them to understand.
"parody" is just an excuse for the autists who like it, it's shit and it's a shit parody
>>134509063

OPM is required watching for every /a/non. If you don't watch it you're a /v/ermin.
>>134509189
>this is /v/'s attempt to fit in
Lurk more, retard.
>>134509234
Looks like I hit a nerve, /v/ermin.
The fanbase after anime is pure cancer
>>134509360
I've seen this post for almost every anime so it means nothing.
>>134508894
OPM deconstructs little boys? Isn't that murder?
>>134509174
that KING is only rank seven is retarded
>>134508894
>>134508982
Desconstruction? If it was a deconstruction or the protagonist would not be super powerful (as much of the shonen MCs are) or his super force would bring psychological consequences (as with Dr. Manhattan). OPM is a parody, an exaggerated version of characters like Goku and Kenshiro. That's why it works more if you don't take it seriously.
>>134508860This is why I left MAL

It seems as if no one who dislikes One Punch Man has actually watched One Punch Man. They just know the title or saw the first episode.

Something that isn't OPM
>>134508105
>>134508226
It's called high expectations ruining shows. Just forget about the fanwank and try to see it as a simple parody with a bit of its own drama. You'll probably enjoy it more.
>>134508105
Ah no, i watch it out of boredom but havent felt entertained at all. At all!
People probably expected it to be a serious show and not a comical reaction image fiesta.
I love it like that though.
>>134509384
it means anime ruins everything
>>134508557
>The guy didn't have any plot in mind before it went viral.
Well there's that interview where at that point ONE already thought of the plot including the ending.
>>134508894

No, it a parody.
>Truly he was a one punch man
>>134512703
Yep and this interview is way after it went viral.
>>134508860
Don't even care if this gets deleted or removed, just wanted to share this with a community that understands.
I just watched the first episode of One Punch Man and just had my mind fucking blown. I am absolutely floored at the technical mastery that has gone into this show.
The animation level of detail in this show is far above and beyond anything I've seen in a while. Madhouse has outdone themselves in paying insane levels of detail to every single frame where it matters. There are so many little details in the shading and lighting that anybody on a time crunch could imagine throwing out if they were drawing this show. eg. there is a scene where Saitama's bald head reflects the grocery store, like you have to WANT that there to go through such efforts to draw that. Every single cameo, every single nod to other well known superhero anime/show has had the illustration match to its original nearly perfectly (my jaw dropped at pollution man's freeze frame, or the old slow-mo face/neck stretching after receiving a punch), as if the animators and illustrators at Madhouse were doing the 21 gun salute to all of their favorite superhero shows. Every explosion feels satisfying, every punch from Saitama feels like the perfect final concluding punch from every other Shounen superhero anime placed together into one amazing love letter to the genre. I can't help by draw analogies to Jack Black's 'Tribute' song: it is an earnest tribute to all superhero animations that pays its respect by showing immense flattery for the fighting/action tropes that have appeared in the genre before it.
And speaking of rock, the soundtrack for this show is paired perfectly. It is so clear that the music draws from the campy "HARDCORE ADRENALINE FUELED MANLY METAL" soundtracks of yore, and it is so unabashed in doing so. It basically screams, "HEY! REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO THINK THIS IS RAD? TRY FEELING THAT AGAIN IT'S FUCKING GREAT."
>>134508105
One Punch Man is only for people who are
1. Educated
2. Patient
3. Attentive, and
4. Analytic
One Punch Man rewards people who are intelligent enough to understand it. It doesn't make it easy to follow because it's not for the average anime fan who need everything fucking explained to them like they're goddamn children.
And that's why it's probably the best anime in the past 20-30 years, hands down. It's the first real anime for intellectuals since LoGH...though honestly, I think it might surpass even that.
If you didn't like it, that means you're just not mature enough to really "Get it". In short, grow up, kid.
>>134508860
>>134512919
I finished the first episode, and was so fueled by adrenaline that I got out of bed and went for a FUCKING RUN AT 10 IN THE EVENING, and have come back and still feel like I need to vent about the amazing amounts of ENERGY I have.
I remember when I was a little kid, my friends and I would watch DBZ, and at the end of every episode we would get so worked up, we would go outside and pretend be DBZ heroes. Like we would go and be like "yeah man, LET'S FIGHT, I'M GONNA KAMEHAMEHA YOUR ASS", and just run around and play until we were decked out again, and this first episode of One Punch Man made me feel that again.
Do I expect the show to keep making me feel that way? Not really. But I am majorly impressed that One Punch Man has made me reconnect with with my memories of this superhero shounen genre, and is clearly doing so intentionally.

The wit. The eloquence. Astounding.
Sales are mediocre, so no there are many people who don't care for OPM
You are part of a bandwagon that thinks it is overrated.
>>134508105
It is overrated. OPM started as a good parody, but it turned more and more serious. Right now the story is about the secondary characters, with Saitama always late for one reason or the other because otherwise he would instantly win. You can't make a good story without the main character being the main character.
>>134515109
So it's One Bleach Man then?
I'm enjoying it.
Its pretty fun and refreshing, and I hope they keep the semi-lighthearted tone going.
I like how the main character is apathetic, but not the 'edgy' sort of apathy i've seen in a lot of other animes.
Its more like a detatched.. 'meh' sort of attitude, and I think thats why it hasn't turned me off yet.
He doesn't sneer, or gloat, or celebrate victory. Its just.. something to do for him. I fucking love that.
I have a feeling this alien thing is gonna outstay its welcome by an episode or two, but i'm comfy as fuck so far.

I'm sure there are at least dozens of you guys
Remember when OPMfags wasn't that cared when we post OPM threads before yeah the people who got their jimmies rustled by OPM was because they got baited by bait threads. You guys could have simply ignore the bait threads but you just had to post your shitty opinions.
>>134515574
I always skip the intro, but I always wait for that
>>134508805
>I was looking for people to either tell me that they aren't a huge fan of it either or explain to me why they like it.
Why do you 1. Care if someone hate the same shows you do and 2. Why do anyone need to explain why they like something you don't?
You don't like OPM, fine, that doesn't mean the rest of us are crazy. Are you afraid of being different? Perhaps you are feeling inscure not liking the same things as someone else?
Get a grip. Go find something you like and stop worrying about what other people enjoy.
>>134508105
No.
I've also saw people who only watched OPM this season say "OPM IS THE BEST ANIME OF 2015"
>>134509042
Yes, what we need is more fanservice, high school anime and moeshit.
>>134509063
OPM actually has good writing unlike most anime "comedy" series where the only source of humour is girls acting like cunts or le oh so embarrassing situations happening.
>>134509619
>or his super force would bring psychological consequences (as with Dr. Manhattan).
But it has psychological consequences for Saitama, he is slowly losing his humanity and the drive to keep existing

You Thread is overrated
I'm aware this thread is retarded bait but I need to post this
>>134508105
I dunno, but you are a faggot.
i like it but you faggots better be reading Mob Psycho 100 too
I probably only watch 1 anime a year, but this caught my eye and I liked it. I came here expecting you to slaughter it.
I can't believe this
>>134508557
The plot itself is unwieldy, but all of the characters are brilliant and the panels are incredibly well choreographed.
OPM itself has well-deserved hype as long as you don't get into a powerlevel shitfest.
>>134509042
>Normies kill all the industry
with not liking moeshit?seems to me that they are doing God work
>>134517978
>But it has psychological consequences for Saitama, he is slowly losing his humanity and the drive to keep existing
Actually that appear to be reverting. It seems his "acquaintances" are having a positive effect in terms of making him "give a shit" about things.
>>134518250
I haven't read a single chapter of it. One day I will.
Reminder that One Punch Man is problematic

But thats literally what happened with Saitama.
>>134508105
Read the manga faggot
>>134508105
yes, the people who say no are just raging because its popular and that offends their hipster funny bones. Its a pretty great show, lots of fun, social satire too if thats what you want in your anime
>>134508105
I don't think its a bad anime I just find it boring and predictable. The fight scenes are good though.
>>134509477
No, its just the Japanese mindset. Just being the physically strongest doesn't make you the best fighter. Their culture is based around the smaller looking less strong person winning through talent and skill.
>>134508144
burrito choke man is that you?
>>134508105
I think its great
the fanbase on the other hand
>>134508105

That said, if you're just watching the anime than yeah i can get why you think that. I would still recommend reading the manga.
>>134518439
Holy shit this is retarded
OF COURSE IS OVERRATED !!
Is a very funny anime, but only rat kids, that play dota, love it.
>>134523623
I feel the same. I don't even know why I come to OPM threads on /a/ anymore. They're just endlessly shit, largely due to all the normies, but also due to /a/nons being contrarian as they oft are and shitposting.
Never mind all the waifu shit surrounding the sisters. A large part of the point of Tatsumaki's character, I feel, is that she isn't likable, she is spoiled, egotistical, disconnected, but neckbeards still just see this idealized version of her and drool over her like 11 year old autistic kids.
