OPM being overrated is subjective and I can understand it.
When people keep building something up like "It's the best anime in the world" you're going to be disappointing a lot of people because you build it up more than it can deliver.
And with the way people treat OPM, it's very likely.
So if someone says it's overrated, it becomes more understandable.
Be a fan, not a fanboy.

akkere ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-] I feel like the worst part about getting drowned in countless "It's the best x in the world" is when you come to watch/experience whatever the medium of entertainment is, you're going to find yourself paying more attention to the flaws than the high points, instead of giving both equal measure.
I never got to see Breaking Bad until a little while after the season finale, which by that point had been accompanied by countless "It's the best show everrrrr" posts all over the internet (still is to this day, but not in such volume). Eventually I had time to sit down and just binge through it, and I found myself taking note of certain positive points like the complex development of character of Walter White, but taking even more focused note on things surrounding the show (the slow pacing of the second season, the mysterious disappearance of the explosive rocks Walter used in the first season, the slow paced development of Skyler as a character, the peculiar attempt at intimidation from Gus; a man who in his debut noted he doesn't do intimidation , the fly episode, etc.).
It's why whenever I recommend something I'm personally in love or even outright obsessed with, I'm very careful to note what the person may not like about it (for example; whenever I recommend JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, I note that people might not like it if they're not into the over-the-top 'Bizarre' theme, or don't think they'll have the patience for flamboyant posing.) so the flaws don't explode in their face and they can take it with a greater deal of tolerance, or won't feel like they wasted their time watching something they wish they knew they wouldn't like.

stupro (12/20/2015) [-] I don't know why OPM is such a phenomenom. I like it. I really do. I was reading manga for a long time now and always thought that this is cool, but it can't really go anywhere storywise because it's just a parody of superheroes and Saitama is too OP to be complex. Like Superman, only here the creator acknowledges it. So I was never really to eager for an anime and thought they might make an OVA or two, but not a whole season of it.
Well, I was wrong and I'm glad I am. But, I hope people don't expect anything deep and complex from it.

zaggystirdust ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-] But it messes with the person's perception of the material.
Imagine being given a cake and everyone tells you "It's the best cake in the world. No other cake taste like this. You will fall in love with this cake."
That raises your expectations.
You think "Wow, lets see what makes it so great."
Now there's a higher chance it's not going to live up to what you expect it because you're going to be searching hard to find what makes it so great.
And now there's a high chance your expectations aren't going to be as you expected.
Remember Frozen?

morphodite (12/20/2015) [-] I understand what you're saying. That kind of build up is exactly why blind and double blind experiments exist. A lot of people don't understand just how susceptible they actually are to the opinions and beliefs of others. This is why I take any hype I come across for anything with a severe grain of salt. When things don't live up to your expectations, you tend to judge them more harshly. It's not anyone's fault; it's just human nature. We hate disappointment.

Yes. Because you have low expectations.
It's partially why Guardians of the Galaxy was so well-received. There were basically no expectations for it, it was really good, so it got tons of praise.
It's also why sequels for good movies always seem worse. Objectively, it might be good, but it's expected to be better than the original, which is why it tends to underperform.

A show isn't overrated just because I enjoy it less than somebody, nor is it underrated because I enjoy it more. I expect people to be different from me and to therefore enjoy different things from me. I don't get how that's so hard for some people.

You can't have it both way. Either it's subjective or it's not. Especially when it comes to comedy, since arguably, elevating comedy TOO much makes it unsuitable for the masses.

totallytito ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-] Blind pessimism is mistaken for advanced intelligence.
The fact is, it is as invalid as blind optimism.
A bridge falls into a cannal, and a man needs to get to the other side.
Optimism tells him to build a raft to cross it.
Pessimism tells him that attempting to cross will result in him failing and drowning.
Both are perfectly valid opinions and are accurate evaluations of the gains and losses.
However it takes an attempt of confidence to cross that bridge and get to the other side.
This is why conservative mindsets aren't always useful for the preservation of a larger community, while excessive change is equally as damaging.
I think it's a wiser decision for people to choose to share the internet in peace rather than ostracizing eachother over likes and dislikes. It prevents potential friendships and overall just results in people being bullied unnecessarily. There's nothing to gain from it other than avoiding a handful of annoying people by pushing away a hundred other normal people.
It solves the problem in the short-run, but in the longrun it results in sites like FJ losing popularity and have more users abandoning it every year. Take a look at the thumbs on the front page, then look at this comment. The thumbs in 2010 were in the 10 thousands, and now they are halved.
It's not a coincidence.

You are a baby bird in a nest: you could starve in the nest from being fearful of heights, or you could jump out with your desire for flight.
The birds are flying around and chirping as we speak.
This is because they took a leap of faith and took matters into their own wings.

bunner ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-] not. at. all.
its just another one of fj's vicious cycles.
1. something becomes popular.
2. a group of people start dick riding it a little too hard.
3. someone says they dislike it.
4. everyone get on THAT bandwagon and start hating it too.
5. someone makes fun of the people that dislike it by calling it "cancer" or "autism" ect
by the time we've went through all these steps, its gotten old enough and dies down in hype and popularity.
we use this same exact cycle. especially against OC makers (well female ones mostly). also with popular internet trends, shows, memes, ect.
we're just in the final cycle of this one punch man thing. soon the next flavor of the month will come, and people who actually enjoyed the show enough will be able to watch it in peace.

You're not forced to dwell on it, but it's still shoved in your face.

Basically no you're not forced to continue looking at it, but the fact that you're forced to look at it at all is annoying enough.

Eiza (12/20/2015) [-] It's not so much that it's short as much as it wouldn't make sense to make the second season yet.
The original webcomic was initially just ONE testing a new manga program, but people loved the first chapter so much that he made it its own story between Mob Psycho chapters - hence the whole "hero for a hobby" trope. Because he did it on the side, it took a while to get a good amount of chapters up, and still does.
When Murata found and began redrawing it, he added a massive amount of detail to the series' art and fight scenes, fleshing out every little thing. Because of the quality going into it, the redraws can take anywhere between 2-4 weeks per full chapter (but Murata likes to release segments of each chapter to sort of ease the wait).
Now, since the animators are following the redraw, they have to wait for Murata to get through the next big thing, and that's the Garou saga. Murata is adding more content to that, however, so it will take quite a while. At the moment, he is, by my best estimations, about 1/5th of the way through the portion of the series that will follow Garou's story. The anime would need to animate at least that much content to make another season considering how fast they blew through 7 volumes of the manga.
The good news is that there's already an OVA following Saitama's route to becoming a hero before the events of the main story, and we're getting a few more, so that may tide us over while we wait 2-3 years for the next season.

brobathehutt ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-] 2-3 years is a bit of an overestimate I think, but I might just be optimistic. For sure its going to take at least a year given that Murata has his work cut out for him, but the anime itself doesn't take as long because the team is held captive underground and whipped until they produce an episode so it really only takes them a short time.
One thing I have always been curious about, is OPMs manga (not the online one) a manga that gets its chapters released weekly with other manga or is it on its own timetable released by itself through other means?

pentol (12/20/2015) [-]
people with a critical inclination are more likely to notice the faults of a piece of media. think of it like kids loving pretty ****** cartoons with major, unironic plotholes and onedimentional, or inconsistent characters. when you grow up you realize how ****** it is. the cynical bastards who notice how **** everything is are basing their opinions on more accurate observations. they are more right/less wrong that the people who do not notice faults.
of course, the more liked something is, the more buzz each fan generates, so buzz scales exponentially with popularity, meaning that the perceived 'rating' of a popular show is heavily inflated.
these together lead to people calling out OPM for it's slightly inconsistent characters, relative lack of worldbuilding, unresolved or irrelevant plot threads, lack of real tension, humor that suffers from a bit of "misunderstandingu syndrome" (so much anime, and presumably other jap humor, relies so much on this, it's disgusting) and not doing more of what it is good at: satire of the shounen genre and occasional bursts of absolutely gorgeous animation.
I definitly fall into the people who think OPM gets more attention than it deserves, and it's of ok-good quality. saying it is overrated is useful so long as the listener is aware of the popular opinion of something. if FJ says it's good and i say it is overrated, you now have one additional opinion on it to inform your decision to watch it or not, and "overrated" is just as informative as "ok", "good" or "great", given of course, that you know the popular opinion.
