Yes, pretty entertaining imo

not especially

it always felt like it'd be a lot more interesting if literally anyone other than saitama and genos were main characters

like there were 4 or 5 infinitely more interesting shows trapped inside of it or something

I'm liking Mob Psycho 100 and was considering watching One Punch Man.

>>149714247
That's the joke though. Everybody else is a parody of Anime tropes that think they are the strongest or the edgiest or the smartest and yet Saitama, a boring guy with boring backstory with a boring training and reason to fight, come, punch once, and it's done.

It's a great parody of the anime genre. It would be pretty boring if it was about the generic anime guys who seem they are from Bleach.

>>149714293
Highly recommended. Literally just finished the season 1 15 min ago and it was great. If you want a comedy anime making fun of Shonens, it's perfect.

Murata chapter when

>>149714165
Is it a meme show because people like to talk about it, or are you talking about the tropes?

>>149714407

OPMfags like to throw around parody excuse when someone criticize their shitshow.
An example of parody would be Gintama and it's miles better than OPM.

>>149714846
>meme (noun) - something that I don't like

>>149714945
Parody can be subtle and not hyper obvious.

Although a crab guy in boxers is pretty obvious.

Just because it has normal anime characters in the background, does not mean it's not a comedy/parody.

All the tropes are in One Punch Man.

>>149714960
Which is pretty weird because 4chan is built on memes.

>>149715073

Parody means blatantly copying other popular shit. OPM doesn't do that. It's not a parody. The closes thing it parodied was Baikinman and Anpanman but that's when it was supposed to be a one chapter deal.

par·o·dy
ˈperədē/
noun
1.
an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.
"the movie is a parody of the horror genre"

You have a ton of characters who are carbon copies of other characters from other shows.

Parody does not have to be Blatant and say "Oh! This is obviously DBZ!" It can also mean that you parody the genre as a whole.

If you open Tropes : Anime, and just read down the list, you would find most of it in One Punch Man. The show make fun of those tropes.

OPMfags, everyone

>>149715269

You're either stupid or just being willfully ignorant if you don't recognize OPM as a parody of shonen battle manga, and a good one at that. Realistically it should just go ahead and end after Boros, it's made it's point and well.

>>149715426

You're actually retarded. That means all shows are parody because they uses tropes and sometimes make fun of it.

>>149715269
>Parody means blatantly copying other popular shit.

this is the audience that grew up with shit like "scary movie" and "disaster movie". They don't even know what parody means anymore.

It's pretty average but fun so I enjoyed it. But it became popular so I hate it now.

>>149714095
It is the runner up AOTY for 2015. Hibike taking the prize obviously.

At this pace, they're going back to back AOTY.

>>149715896
Except that the goal of OPM is to make fun of them. The point of Bleach is not to make fun of shonens. OPM is.

Having an ultra edgy ninja who cant stop smiling.
Having a gay guy who get naked to fight.
Loli psychic
Old Martial Art Master
Generic Swordman guy
Those are tropes that OPM make FUN of.

>>149714095
It is fun and it is stupid not to enjoy it just because it suddenly became popular.

When it comes to /a/, a necessary condition for good shows is that they elicit conversation and controversy. All terrible shows fall to the wayside, as their fans get ostracized, and the trolls no longer get reactions. Good series maintain a dedicated fanbase that trolls can continually provoke.

Look at the latest adaptation of berserk; The anime finished two months ago, and there are very few threads dedicated to it.

OPM, even a year after the anime released, still turns out daily popular threads. It's a definite must see.

>>149716016

nice generalization.
You could do that to all other series out there and you wouldn't call them a parody.

>>149716105
OPM is a parody because it make fun of it.

The edgy assassin who was never defeated try to go hyper edgy and OPM just does not even blink an eye and defeat him.

He's the anti trope. He's a literal nobody who has the equivalent of the powers of a god and simply want to have fun and not kill everything with a single punch. Every other characters around him is a trope of a serious anime, but he just destroy them one after another. Without any climax or efforts.
The only "real" fights are where he's not there. Half the anime is about how he's not a true hero because obviously a low rank like him could not actually beat a monster with one punch.

I think you dont understand the point of the show. You literally have all the tropes in a giant basket, and then you put an anti trope in the middle and see the reactions. The other characters think they are in a "real" shonen and try to be intense and have a backstory with a lot of dialogues that would take 3 episodes. OPM just dont care about the backstory. He cut short any attempt at being "intense" or any potential climax. Several time in OPM, guys go on and on trying to tell their tragic backstory and he just tell them to shut up.

>>149716083
That's 4chan for you. If something is popular, it must be bad.

3/4 of 4chan is made of teenagers who want to be edgy and hipsters. The worst thing that could happen to them if their mom started to like what they like.

>>149714095
Of course, until it became mainstream and hella popular. After that /a/ "Went ah hell naw senpai get that mainstream shit outta here step up with some truly obscure shit then we can shit post happily."

I just don't understand how someone posting on 4chan's anime boards of all places could take One Punch Man at face value, like, it's pretty dry in the actual execution of it's parody and deals in some shit western audiences might no be as familiar with (mumen rider etc.) so I can see the toonami audience maybe taking it straight, but if you're here, posting on this board I feel like that predicates enough awareness of the medium to recognize OPM as a parody, whether you actually enjoy it or not.

I hope you can AT LEAST admit that it's a comedy show first and foremost.

>>149714945
>Comparing Gintama to One Punch Man


That was your first mistake anon

>>149717044
Maybe it's because the other characters act like actual Shonen characters? Like, you could take any other character and place it in any other shonen and it would fit in really easily. Hell, you could probably take the whole cast and dump in on One Piece and it would fit without any problem.

It's like sarcasm, if it's not overly obvious, then people just assume it's not.

Yes. Amazing animation, good characters, some emotional moments (while still staying lighthearted and fun) and great enemies.

>>149714095
Mob Psycho is better

>>149717292
Well you can enjoy two things even if something is better than the other no?

Like, I prefer chocolate to vanilla, but Vanilla is also pretty great.

The question is not "Is OPM the best anime of his genre?"

Yes, and so did everyone else while it was airing, I remember the threads.

>>149714095
Yes, /a/ enjoyed One Punch Man.

>>149717269
I'm kinda hoping a season 2, I know there is some talk about it. I heard it might be a season that focus on the past more than anything else?

First of all, why do you keep making shit threads like this, you don't want an answer you just want a reaction. I hope you get banned again

Second of all stop trolling, you know damn well that information from bitbag is wrong if you lurk on the site. If you want to know what's going to happen read the manga or webcomic otherwise fuck off

It's the first time I came on /a/ in like... 2 years?
I watched OPM and I wanted to talk about it?
I think you confuse me for somebody else.

>stop trolling
Saying that you want a second season of an anime you finished to watch one hour ago is trolling?

Can you show me a screencap of that? Or an archived post?

Because I didnt post on /a/ in the last 2 years.

And how is it bait? Most of the thread is people saying they like the anime and enjoyed it.

A couple of episodes were pretty fun

Then I read the manga and jesus, season 2 is going to be crap, what a stupid and boring mess.

>>149714095
It's entertaining, always nice to watch a show where the MC BTFO's everyone

Needed more tatsumaki

It was okay, i liked Mob Psycho 100 better though.

The guy knows how to write action, but every now and then at a lot of resolution of arcs his shows feel somewhat preachy, for the lack of a better word.

Anyways, as a personal taste I enjoyed it. Especially since it was at least something new to me (somewhat). Can't stand the community though, bunch of normies who are mad at Zfags who constantly berate them.

>>149714095
I enjoyed it, good op, fun action and some decent comedy. Not much in the way of a deep plot tho

It was boring. A waste of some truly remarkable monster designs on a trite and stale joke...

I really hope the manga will end without him having to ever fight anybody seriously to keep all you faggots mad.

>>149721681
Well he did encounter something that took 2 punches.

>>149714095
It was an enjoyable change of pace

>>149714095
I found the humor and writing pretty meh but the animation was great.

This will probably cause a shitstorm towards me, but what do people think about DBZ in comparison with OPM?
I understand that they are very different shows, but i think it could be an interesting discussion nonetheless.

Yes, that's why all of Weird Al's song parodies are actually just the original song.

>>149714095
Its a good show to watch with normie friends but its not rewatchable. Not really, only ep I enjoyed was the road to hero special

>>149714293
Dewit. Both are pretty great and will get miles better in their respective second season.

>>149719615
I think he's talking about the end of the 7th Branch arc in Mob where Best Man talks down the Scar members into submission and/or the Meteor episodes where Saitama defends himself who accused him of fucking up. I wouldn't really call it preachy tho.

>>149723560
DB and OPM are very similar.

The difference is that DB's humour and gags are far more "below surface" than OPM.

DB is something like Planes, Trains and Automobiles - appears as a normal story but it carries lots of jokes. OPM is more like Airplane! or National Lampoon. It's pretty clear that it's joking, and it wears it's parodies on its sleeve.

To this day, I'm still meeting DB fans that don't know Goku is a carrot, and Vegeta is a vegetable.

>>149714095
yes i did enjoy the animation and ost altho the jokes and the characters weren't that good
