Arrow Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 zircon made me start watching this anime, and after I'd finished just one episode, I couldn't stop; had to watch all the rest to date ASAP.Apparently the show will only last 12 episodes? (with some OVAs) Which makes me really sad, but I'm assuming it's an Attack on Titan-type situation, and a second season will eventually be made once the manga's made enough source material for it. Which... will probably take another year or two at the least. Brandon Strader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Not necessarily reliant on the manga putting out content...it is however reliant on ONE's webcomic storyline (which is vastly ahead of the manga at this point and is still being updated iirc).

Brandon Strader Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 That episode 11 was amazing, right? These last several have been so good... the finale is going to explode... I hope it's not really the last they do. People are hoping for season 2, count me among them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The quality of this anime is on point, I already know how the finale will play out but I'm still excited to see it in animated form. 8D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really digging this show. My friends and I have been watching a few episodes of Attack on Titan every other weekend, and man have I needed a happy show like this. The animation is fantastic too, and Genos is one of my favorite humanoid robotic character designs in ages. I like the cues taken from both western and eastern superhero works. Saitama's wearing an inverted Anpanman outfit* and has superficial trappings of Superman without the god imagery that keeps being foisted on that character, Genos has some delightfully Iron Man-esque abilities with a Final Fantasy-esque backstory and character design, and it's a formal superhero society a la certain western works (for some reason, the movie Sky High comes to mind) basically fighting kaiju and DBZ villains. Hell, I feel that the way the world is handled is very Superman-esque: Saitama, the invincible character, is basically the nucleus of a world with more fallible and ridiculous characters than he, which keeps the series from falling into "well...he's invincible, so there's no urgency or risk" trap that badly-written versions of that kind of story could be. Also, it is kind of amazing how JAM Project did the opening for this series. I'm so used to hearing them open for Super Robot Wars games that it just made me fangirl over hearing them open for a superhero show. *The main villain in Anpanman is Germ Man. The very first supervillain that shows up, Vaccine Man, is a reference to this, and also has the same voice actor as Germ Man in the anime! Also, an oft-used abbreviation for the series in Japanese, "wan-pan-man", is evocative of Anpanman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 If there's one dang positive thing I can do this year, it will be to get you guys to watch ONE PUNCH MAN I only wish I was One Post Man. A man who with one post gets people off their butts. The FINALE will be soon. I don't know if this is frowned upon to share, but I've been watching the english subbed version on http://www.onepunchman.tv/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTXC-a4upHo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MES Records Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I don't know about the Anime to be honest. I loved the manga and still read new chapters, but I feel like a lot of the humor doesn't carry over to the Anime. It also looks a bit worse than the manga art-wise. If I didn't read the manga I would recommend anyone to watch the anime asap though. But that's the case for nearly every anime I watched (and stopped as soon as I started reading the manga). Guess I like reading more than watching when it comes to these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 I thought the animation was pretty amazing, especially during the fight with Boros... frickin' OPM went to the MOON, what more do you want? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF32DRg9opA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I thought it lacked, curiously enough, impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 that I'll agree with. Maybe due to the length, or something else. Seems like cities get destroyed constantly, and nobody seems to care all that much. Then there's like a 20 second moment before the credits where they're like "People built new stuff" and I'm like meh. Even with all the threats to their world and cities it doesn't seem like any of the attacks have made any real impact to their society, which is weird.

zircon Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 People don't care about cities being destroyed probably because the anime is satire... it's not meant to be taken seriously. I love it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I do like it, but the "it's so powerful but then he punches it DED" joke kind of gets a little old after just a little while. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 The real breakout star of season 1 was Mumen Rider.. people tuned in just to see what he did next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 There's two extra story minisodes floating about that are (mostly) separate from the main storyline, there might be more coming later on to these. They appear to be two different series too, one is called road to hero and the other is just specials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
