>>147487613
Not really, apart from them both being almost the strongest in their universe there is not much overlap. Mob is quite the different story and thats also one of the reasons why people disliked the first 3 episodes. They didnt like it being different from OPM.

>>147485094
God no, or at least I hope not. There's enough promising stuff that hasn't come out yet to fill out a best of the year list, assuming few disappointments.

Both OPM and MPO (Mob Psycho One-hundred) follow this exact same formula. It's not like it's a very common formula, though, even in action anime. Name literally any other anime that you like and compare its story and characters to either of these.

>>147488166
Thats only on the surface level, and even quite the faulty statements. Like i said all those things you listed stem from both of these dudes being op as fuck but thats where it stops with the comparisons and cause of that they arent really the same. There is more to both than what you listed there. Saitama didnt get his powers granted to him like Mob did, he worked hard for them for example.

>>147488166
That's got fuck all to do with your clueless Hibikek and K-On comparison so why did you even reply to me

No, it's a deep level description - the differences are on the surface level - and if you think there is something "faulty" about my statements, then point it out.

Riiiigggghhhhtttt..... because being a super-human who can blast a hole in the Moon is a normal, perfectly natural result of doing 100 push ups, 100 sit ups and running running 6.2 miles every day.

>>147488447
Literally the only similarity besides the studio is that they're in music related clubs. Stop pretending you watched either.

>granted god-like powers for apparently no reason
1. Saitama still didnt get them powers granted to him. The reason might be stupid but it is what it is, he worked hard for them. Also that training regime is quite fucking hard and no one would be able to pull that off in reality that easily.
>he beats them all without breaking a sweat
2. Mob doesnt beat everyone without breaking a sweat he is able to lose and does so. Saitama isnt able to do that.
>monsters and other super-powered people challenge him once per episode
3. Mob doesnt get challenged once per episode thats a faulty statement too. 3 major villians that challenged Mob over the course of 12 episodes seems quite decent really. His part time Job shouldnt count.
>main character is an ordinary apathetic japanese male
To your first point, i can agree with that but then again the reason why they are like that and how that changes the direction of the show is totally different.

Quit simplifying things just so you seem right, just makes you seem desperate for attention and quite pathetic.

>>147489210
These are minor details. The major plot points are identical.

>>147489131
When someone equates a show with focus on drama and romance to a purely comedic slice of life, I assume their stupidity is blatant enough.

>>147489642
It also had 3x as many episodes so far and a movie. Not to mention cute girls crying is an integral part of school SoL anime.
>>147489649
You could argue that a SoL is still telling a story, but yes, Hibike is actually plot focused unlike K-On.

Why do people complain about more unique art but never generic ones? I've never seen any complaints about Fate/Zero's art or Re:Zero's character designs but when something like Ping Pong, Kemonozume or Mob comes, tons of people claim it's bad for not having the cliche anime look.

>>147489883
Because people like the generic ones seems to be the obvious answer.

I like the part where its animated and has animations.

>>147489883
>>147489822
they're just poor and don't have the budget for a better animation LUL

>>147489832
You need some nuance, you are all over the place. If you need someone to talk to, pls make more sense.

>>147489883
Its different so it draws attention, which is the point. If you don't like it, its a negative and those people will complain the loudest as they might like everything else but can't get on board with the style used.
Its like asking 'why doesn't /a/ enjoy /co/ stuff?' This is why every industry usually has a 'standard' and you can't deviate too much from the standard if you want money.

Prove it. How exactly are Saitama and Genos more fleshed out characters than Mob and Reigen? I'm assuming you haven't read the manga.

>>147485094
Only episodes 5-8 were good, the rest has been quite boring.

>>147490182

OPM side characters are better.

>>147490203

You're retarded kid. There is not a single good episode at all. Even Re:Zero's dumb episodes were way better.

>>147490223
Which OPM side characters are better than which MP100 side characters?

The problem with the Hero Academia adaption that it was too damn short, in the end it felt like shit barely even happened.

>>147490278

Mumen rider, S class heroes, Sonic and even Snek and other heroes got character development.

>>147490153
I heard good things from it, reminds me of cheesy old school chinese movies. Dont think i would really enjoy it though.

>>147490369
So did Teru, Ritsu, Dimple, Shou, Serizawa..

>>147490369
Neither of those characters really get character development, you just see the characters act out their quirks. They dont change. See, thats why people are full of shit on here, they use words and phrases they know shit about. Just pathetic.

Are you fucking kidding me? 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups might be a little hard the first few days you try it, but if you have any latent musculature in your body, it's not even that hard. After a month of training, any average person can do this. 10 km isn't that far for a daily run, either.

Not to say that your premise is at all on-target. If you can't see Saitama's powers being unnatural, then you don't understand superpower anime at all.

>>147490276
Yea boku and Re Zero were quite bad. Mob Psycho was the only best of the Year.

>>147490443

Shou barely have screentime at all. I don't know who is Serizawa. All in all OPM have more good characters than MP100

>>147489987
>making broad-stroke comparisons

What part of "generalization" don't you understand?

>>147490582

Are you retarded? The point of the training was it was impossible.
No fucking human can do that routine without dying or breaking his shit.
> but muh athletes

They are conditioned to do that. Get a an average joe that haven't worked out at all and tell him to do that routine everyday and his body would give up before him.

I don't get why people compare Mob to Saitama. Yes, they're both ridiculously OP (Saitama more than Mob, that's what OPM is about), but other than that, there's no more similarities.

Saitama is OP because he worked hard for his powers, even though his training is hard to believe. His problem is that he gets bored because he never has any real challenges.

Mob is OP because he was born that way. His problem is that he's awkward with people, can't control his emotions, nor his powers, and is afraid of causing accidents with them. His problems are much deeper than Saitama's, who's just "bored".

>>147490582
What does being unnatural mean? And what would natural powers be? Also i am /fit, so i do know how hard or not that training regime is. And no a person wouldnt be able to pull it off everyday for 3 years with no breaks and no motivation other than trying to be a hero or whatever, thats the magic about it. The excercise as it is is not impressive at all. I could do it for a week and would get bored by it except for the run, that shit is time consuming.

>>147490607
So you haven't read the manga. Then we can't have a discussion about this.

>>147490682
>No fucking human can do that routine without dying or breaking his shit.

Shut up, faggot. You are not /fit/.

Doing 100 pushups, 100 situps and running 6.2 miles a day is not that hard and can not give you superpowers. It's amazing that I even have to point this out.

>>147490809

It is impossible retard. Go find an average joe who haven't worked out before to do that routine and I'm telling you as a guy who goes to gym that you will break before you survive a week.

>>147490840
"X and Y are very similar, except for the minor details."
That's a comparison, you mong. You don't reply to a comparison saying that "yeah, but the details are a little different, so that means they aren't similar at all!"

>>147490809
Someone who didnt train a day in his life wouldnt actually be able to pull it off. Your body would give up and break down after a week or two and one mistake would destroy the trainings regime cause you have to do it for 3 years, every single day. Take into account that you dont know that you would get Saitama powers and the number of people pulling it off diminishes.

>>147490975
You did not specify that. Even so, the development characters like Ritsu, Dimple and Teru have had is far greater than the characters in One Punch Man.

In Saitama's scenario, he did not have a single rest day. A normal person would actually have to go to the hospital if they had never really worked out before and had been doing that for only a few days.

>>147491152

That's the point. You have to start the training with lower reps. Saitama started at 100 and broke his bones and still keeps doing it which is impossible. It's the willpower that gave him strength because he surpassed God's will.

>>147491190
This is a retarded detail to get hung up on. Just saying. You're an idiot.

>>147490990
Yea i agreed the training is easy, 100 sit ups and push ups are no big deal. The 6.2miles run is only time consuming but also possible. I am probably more ripped than you though, no idea where that fatboi came from. Want to head over to FB or something if you got the balls? /fit people dont put other people down for no reason.

>It's the willpower that gave him strength because he surpassed God's will.
Riiiggggghhhhtttttttttt....

>>147491181
That's not exactly his reasoning for telling Mob not to fight. He just realized this was a life or death situation, and to fight those who intended to kill you would mean someone would end up dead. He didn't want middle schoolers having to live with murdering people.

>>147491232
In what regard? Retarded to criticize the plot for it? Yeah, obviously. OPM is farce. Retarded to point out that the training regimen is actually impossible in real life to someone claiming it's easy? No, in that case it's a valid point.

>>147490736
People compare them because their faces look alike, they're both OP and were made by the same author. That's about it.

>>147491419

You're an idiot. Most Japanese people can run a mile without breaking a sweat, regardless of whether they go to the gym regularly or nto.

You are really retarded and have never worked out in your life if you think a beginner could pull of 100 reps of those with no breaks. Not to mention you have to do it again the next day when you're muscles are sore and you even saw Saitama breaking his bones because he still did it.

>>147491419
I am wheightlifitng for a few years already but pulling off 100 push ups without a break is quite fucking hard, if you dont specifically train to achieve that. I think i can maybe do 50-60reps in one go at most.

>>147491518
Alright well, this turned into a poor troll. I'm sure you started out with the intention of actually arguing your point, but after proving yourself to be an idiot, you decided to play it up in hopes of us shrugging you off as you pretending the whole time.

If anything, more people should complain about hideous shit like Konosuba. That's real bad design.

You're pretty stupid if you think one nation is magically more fit than another just because they're thinner due to different traditions, more expensive food and some walking.
They might not be obese and can move around normally, but being fit implies regularly working out. Which also implies having enough free time next to work and drinking after work to do that.
And I kinda doubt those workaholics have that free time.

I don't expect you to have a good understanding of what it means to be healthy, but you can be very healthy if you eat right, don't spend most of the day sitting down, and commute by foot or by bike. Regularly hitting the gym is not even required if you just get off your fat ass.

When did Saitama say he does them in a single set? He didn't.

MAOTY contestants: Kono Sekai or Koe no Katachi

Healthy does not equal to fit though. You won't be able to run even 20km at once just because you bike 20min to work and back every day. Not even speaking of fucking push-ups.
And well, many workers do spend their time sitting on their ass the whole fucking day. That's kinda their job.

>>147492907
Who said 20 km? Saitama does 10 km running for training. Stop changing the goalposts. Just because you couldn't work up to this kind of moderate training regimen in 100 years doesn't mean that most people in Japan couldn't get there in well under a month of easing themselves into it.

I thought this was a shitposting thread, but it became a /fit/ thread instead

The whole fucking point is that Saitama did it without any 'easing in'.
Of course it's possible if you start out slow, but it is simply not without that period.

Is there a season 2 of Mob? can anyone confirm? I'm really worried mob won't make it to a season 2 unlike OPM which is basically a given.

OPM will never have season 2 not until 2019 at least. Stop believing rumors.

Wrong pic my friend.

>>147485094
No, DanganRonpa 3 easly beats Mob

>>147490682

Wrong. This is the everyday life of a special forces soldier. Actually, they do 200 pushups.

>>147485094
sorry but Danganronpa made me cry, so it wins

Bad animation though.

Boku no hero had the best animation this year.

>The point of the training was it was impossible.
no, the point was it wasn't meant to be feasible by Saitama's body. his mental and physical states had him RESTRICTED, but he wanted to be a hero so bad he broke through his own mental and physical restrictions, resulting in OPM. think about the jogger's high; right as you're about to collapse and vision blurs in a fade of black, suddenly a portion of your energy returns and you can breathe normally again. it's like that but you do it every single day for years, and not just for running.

Saitama wasn't supposed to be able to do 100 push-ups etc. even for a single set, but did them anyway each day.

That's what I just fucking said. What the hell is your problem?
