I couldn't even read what's going on in the original. Found it to be absolute **** until Murata came out with the redraw, and then I went back to read the original. ONE's art got better to the point where it was tolerable to me. Wasn't disappointed.
The anime is probably one of the best I;ve seen in a while. Some real top notch quality animation, with the voice acting and art being over the top. It also has a 90s feel to its art making it just, so much fun to watch.
it's such a freaking shame about the story. Saitama could have been such a great character, but he just stopped giving a **** . I'm afraid that the manga will end without a proper fight for him.
Thats the humor. Its a play on the Shonen genre as a whole because instead of :
"YOU ARE MY BROTHER AND AS A RESULT WE MUST FIGHT AND I MUST KILL YOU"
"HAHA, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRAINING I'VE UNDERGONE, MY DICK IS AS HARD AS DIAMONDS, AND WITH THIS ERECTION I WILL PIERCE YOUR SOUL, SPIRIT AND HEART"
-gasps
"BROTHER, EVEN FATHER DOES NOT KNOW THAT TECHNIQUE, HE NEVER SPENT ENOUGH TIME IN THE TUB WITH ME" "HWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"BUT IF I MAKE YOU CLIMAX I WILL BE ABLE TO COUNTER YOUR SPECIAL MOVE" Something something, next time on I didnt shower with my dad enough....
Basically, Single Strike Guy breaks all those conventions straight up by getting to the point and ending fights immediately.
Well, that's kinda the point. That Saitama will never have a decent or exciting fight. The plot revolves more on the hero ranking premise and the political side of a society with heroes.
I'd tell you, but I can't really remember the name.. was it
solo strike superhero?
alone attack anthropoid?
only fisticuffs individual?
lone lollop gentleman?
solitary jab mortal?
singular slug hominid?
Nah, those don't sound right. Maybe some one else remembers the name of the anime this sole clout character is from?
I feel like they should have gone with a bit more shading whenever he pulled one of those evil smiles. Especially in the "I can tell by your innocent smile" part.
