One Punch Man is okay as a show. It's definitely action oriented, but absolutely **** for story. 6.5/10 for the show. Worth a watch if you've got nothing better to do.

Just don't expect to have a good conversation with other fans of the show. They can't take criticism for **** and will react violently to any sort of negativity about the show. They'll claim you don't understand it and it's all satire and that you're just hating.

I **** you not.

1/10 fandom
6.5/10 Show, pretty good, just no real story.

As a OPM fan, I'm sorry the Fandom is filled with weab trying super hard not to be weabs. It's sad

It's mocking current manga culture while at the same time giving you plot. I think one is a genius for inventing such a fine work

Nice copy&paste bronie.

Uh, thanks, Anon.

I wouldn't say that it doesn't have a plot, or even a bad one. I think if you look past the whole "one punch" think which is barely the surface you actually get quite an intelligent plot device that combines clever satire with unique characters and a theme surrounding on what it means to be a hero. The manga after Boros also because more story driven later on.
User avatar #60 to #54 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Uh.. No, you really don't. The characters, aside from Saitama, are really not unique in the slightest. They're ... literally... just satire of popular characters.

The only hero there that really shows me what being a hero is all about is Mumen Rider, which is why I enjoy him so much.

I'm not talking about the manga. I'm talking only about the anime. So far, no story, aside from single episode structures.

thumbing your comments for standing up to this metastasizing cancer of a fandom. There's a difference between someone *********** to piss off a fanbase and someone having legitimate points against a show guys. This is the latter.
#61 to #8 - anon (12/14/2015) [-]
OPM has a story. Sure it's a silly, simple story about a the daily adventures of an op man who struggles to get recognition.

Sorry it not as complicated as Friendship is Magic.
User avatar #62 to #61 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Did you just compare One Punch Man to MLP? ... Dude, no.

I like MLP because it makes me happy. Not because it's got complicated story.

OPM DOES have a story, but it's VERY limited. There's very LITTLE. I'm saying that OPM doesn't have a story as far as a grand scheme goes. It's got a very SMALL story, one that is more episodic than actually having a huge arc. There are no arcs, yet.
#79 to #62 - anon (12/14/2015) [-]
OPM doesnt need a big story that focuses about vital problems of humanity throghout our existence. its ENTERTAINMENT thats very easily accesible, nothing more, and it does a perfect job at it.
9.5/10 as a show.
if you wanted thought provoking **** I wouldnt have given OPM even 6.5/10 cuz in that aspect it doesnt deserve it, and it doesnt need to.
User avatar #80 to #62 - drtrousersnake (12/14/2015) [-]
I like OPM because it makes me happy with the lack of ***** the main character gives unless its something trivial, like a sale at a grocery store. Not because it's got complicated story.
User avatar #17 to #8 - bulwark (12/14/2015) [-]
Well, most people don't watch it for the story. There are plenty of animes with a great story out there for that purpose. OPM is just ***** and giggles mate.
User avatar #27 to #17 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
I didn't say that OPM is bad, by any means. I said it was fun to watch. I enjoyed it. I'm not saying negative things about it. It just doesn't have a story. That's okay with this sort of show, as the action and the comedy will bring you back every time.

This is what happens a lot with the fandom. They think I'm not on their side. I like the show. It's not the best because I prefer my anime with story.

As a matter of fact, those who disagree with me aren't even trying to counter my claims. They agree with me, even if they don't see it. I say it has no story, they say it doesn't need a story. I say it's good. They say it's good. Yet they still think that I'm against them.
User avatar #33 to #27 - bulwark (12/14/2015) [-]
I didn't call you out on saying it's bad. I just said there are plenty of animes for those who care about a good story, while this is purely made to take the piss on typical animes.
User avatar #36 to #33 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Yeah, but people think that makes it immune to criticism. Parodies can be **** parodies. OPM seems to be a decent parody. It's good. Not the best, but good.
User avatar #37 to #36 - bulwark (12/14/2015) [-]
True. Fun stuff can be **** aswell. It's just a matter of taste and perspective.
User avatar #38 to #37 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Agreed.

>no real story

For the 500th goddamn time. This is not a serious show. This is a comedy. Cooooomeeeedyyyyyyyy. COMEDY. That thing with the funnies. It doesn't have a story, because it's a damn comedy. It doesn't have character development, because it's a comedy. Saitama will not face anyone stronger than him, because it's a comedy about a guy who kills everything with a single punch, because it's funny. That is the source of his power - just like an anime 12-yearold can punch someone into low-Earth orbit when embarrassed, Saitama can punch someone into the next galaxy when it's funny. A visual aid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5mU0HfI2jQ That is how his powers work.

This is why I hate it when something I like becomes popular enough to attract idiots. The reason it has a -9999/10 fandom is because almost all of that fandom consists of people who only watch the most popular of popular anime. Stuff like Naruto or Tiddies la Tiddies. They don't watch comedies. I don't think most of them realize non-serious anime even exist. So they take a show that isn't meant to be taken seriously and take it seriously. They miss all the jokes and parodied tropes, because they don't watch enough animu to be familiar with the tropes. All they see is the goddamn action.
#56 to #14 - alphadolan ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Although I agree with you it's for the most part a comedy it does give me goosebumps sometimes with it's more action-ey side.

I love it
User avatar #26 to #14 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Even a comedy is capable of a plot.

Just because it's a comedy that doesn't make it immune to criticism, or saying that it has no story.

BoBoBo-BoBoBoBo had a plot. As loosely tied together as it was. It was a comedy that actually had substance.

Plus, you sort of just proven one of my points about how the fans of the show will say "It's all satire, you don't understand it. Why are you hating."

I saw all of the tropes and hints towards other anime. Just because it's a satire of popular anime it doesn't mean that this anime is any better than the others, nor is it immune to criticism. As a matter of fact, it should be held slightly higher, because if a satire doesn't deliver on being satirical of the base genre, then it's failed as a satire.

Cromartie Highschool is a comedy. It's got a plot, even as subtle as it is. It's got a lot of comedy put around a single narrative. It's about a good boy who goes to a all thug school, hijinks ensue.

The reason why I say One Punch Man has no story, yet is still good, is because it's basically just an action movie. You don't expect any grand scheme or majestic story to come out of it. It's just a bunch of explosions, blood, gore, and fighting. That's what OPM is.
User avatar #28 to #26 - thechosentroll (12/14/2015) [-]
Fair point, but I still say just because the dumber fans don't get the satire doesn't mean it's not there. Just because an idiot once read Hamlet and thought it was CSI: Denmark doesn't mean it was.
User avatar #29 to #28 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
I don't know what you mean by that, really. I mean. I know what the show is. It's a comedy/satire. Though, you didn't once counter my claims about the show. You just sort of reinforced them.

It has no real story. Which is all I can say that's bad about the show in it's entirety. Everything else is great. The pacing is fun, the comedy gave me a chuckle, the action (while I don't like gore) is definitely something worth watching.

Though, I should say, just because a show is a comedy, that doesn't that we should give it a free pass of criticism. One could say "Oh, but he does this..." And the other would say "Oh, who cares, it's a comedy."

I just think that things like that should be held in high regards and should be criticized just as much as the thing that it's satirizing.

If the worst thing I could possibly say about an anime is that it has no real story, but still entertains, then you have nothing to worry about. The anime is good. Mumen Rider 4 lyfe.
User avatar #31 to #29 - thechosentroll (12/14/2015) [-]
I don't argue, because you're not wrong. You're just right for the wrong reasons. The way I see it, what you're doing is like complaining an icecream cone isn't salty enough. Yes, you're right, it's not salty and salty ice cream is indeed a thing. I'm just saying there's nothing really wrong with the ice cream, except the fans, who pretend it's the single best ice cream cone on the damn planet, which automatically makes all of us hate their ass and want to criticize the ice cream even more. I'm like that with Fallout 4. You're like that with One Punch Man. It's amazing how much you start to dislike something when the fans piss you off. Even when you don't realize that's the reason.
User avatar #34 to #31 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Salt and Ice Cream don't go together, mate.

What I see I'm doing is complaining that there's not any sprinkles on the icecream. It's good icecream, I just wish there was something more to it. Something that made me want to stay. It's as if I asked for chocolate, but got vanilla. It's ALRIGHT. I like vanilla, but I'd prefer chocolate.

The fans are degenerates, honestly. I hate them, but I won't let my hate for them cloud my judgement for the show. I like the show. I'll keep watching the show, but I'll never try and have a civil conversation with one of the fans, as most of them are ******* crazy.

I like the show. I'm not criticizing badly because of the fans. As a matter of fact, I marathoned the show, I enjoyed it. I still gave it a 6.5/10 because the only thing that really saves it for me is Saitama and Mumen Rider. Mumen Rider is in very little and Saitama's humor is typically slow paced, even though everything around him is fast paced.

I judged the show strictly on the merits. The fans can't distract me from that. I hate the fans and I judge them separately. If I had never spoken to a fan of OPM, I would still say that the show is "Okay", and "Good" at best. It's because I prefer shows with a plot.

This anime, alluding to the metaphor I used earlier, is like getting vanilla icecream when I asked for chocolate. It's good, but not the best. It's not for me.

However, an anime like Bobobo-Bobobobo, a really funny comedy with fast paced, playful action, is more like asking for chocolate and getting Neapolitan. It's not what I asked for, but I got so much more. I had a plot, good comedy, the animation was decent. All of that.

So, OPM isn't bad because of the fans. It's not bad at all. It's just lacking.

The fans are **** tho.

Honestly, this is probably gonna sound stupid, but I automatically write all of that off to "it's anime in 2015". It's kind of sad, but I automatically expect it to be **** . I mean, **** , the fact that they resisted the urge to fondle the loli is enough to elevate it in my book.

Like I said, all your criticism is valid, I just don't take it all that seriously, because I expected my ice cream cone to be full of frozen shaving cream, because that's what happened the last dosin times something I like got an anime adaptation. Your argument is that it's not as bad as it could have been. Mine's that it's not as **** as it could have been. All a matter of perspective, really. You're pissed they messed up your order. I'm glad no one spat in it or dropped it on the floor.
User avatar #41 to #40 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
If they messed up my order so badly that they would do things like dropping it on the floor and spitting in it, then why would anyone go there? The icecream isn't good. The product they're pushing is absolute **** . So why bother?

I hate anime. Like, really, I do. Yet I sat down and watched OPM and thought it was good. RIGHT when I saw that little Witch Bitch, I immediately thought "Oh great, here comes the fan service" Then I waited and saw that she was a tsundere, and I was like "The intellectual death of this show lies in her."

I agree that almost all recent anime is garbage. It's all just recycled from the same formula. OPM, I know it's supposed to be satire/comedy, still has ideas of this, but Saitama really saves it. He isn't a total blowhard because of his ability and he doesn't even know where it comes from. He's got down to earth goals, like going to a sale. I once was really excited for a sale, too.

But it's the reason why I don't watch any other anime. The last good anime I watched was... I guess Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. That ended long ago. So that really speaks for how much anime I could actually enjoy.
User avatar #71 to #41 - dubsigma (12/14/2015) [-]
Well, OPM world is unknown and intriguin. There are still some unaswered questions, it is not a typically structured story and we dont know the extent of the mysteries it contains. That is what keeps me checking everyday if there is a new manga chapter up. Of course the amazing action is one of its main strenghts, but without the unique world it is in it would be just another void/cheap action manga. It started with really simple drawings and still got to be reworked by some big mangaka, serialized and animated after all. Respect to ONE and the amazing story he made. If you are curious for a more story based manga by the same author check Mob Psycho 100, it is a bad drawn manga but it checks out.
User avatar #74 to #71 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Okay, so it's new.

That doesn't make it any better than what I'm claiming. I mean, c'mon. This is what happens every time I have a structured critique of this story. The fans rush out of the woodwork to thumb me down (not that I care) and say that I'm wrong. Then give me a ridiculous answer as why they think it's the greatest anime of all time.

It's good. The anime is good. I haven't read the manga, I don't plan to. It's good, that's it. That's all. I don't hate it. I like it. It's a good show. Watch it if you're bored. There's no real story, but it's good nonetheless.
#76 to #74 - dubsigma (12/14/2015) [-]
Hmm, didn't thumb you down, not that you care, just though you would apreciate a comment about its story. Was not exclusively talking about the anime, but if you not interested in the manga then nevermind.
User avatar #77 to #76 - scootabot ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
I don't read the manga.

It's why I'm saying that the ANIME has no real story yet. I mean, nothing more than the absolute BASE for a show.

I'm sure that the manga has some pretty decent story and actually has character development. I have no doubts! Though, as the show stands right now, it has very little story to speak of. It's still good though.
User avatar #43 to #41 - thechosentroll (12/14/2015) [-]
Ditto. The only anime I watch these days is adaptations of mangoes I liked. I like to keep the hope alive that one day they'll mane a good one like they did with Gintama. Hasn't worked out so well. As much as people joke about anime being trash, it really is. The industry is full of greedy ***** that kick creativity and vision in the balls because of target demographics so hard even EA would consider it excessive. Gotta shove tiddies and little kids making out in there, because that's what depressed businessmen want and those are the target demographic of animu these days. They don't care about plot, they don't care about characters. They wanna see lolis french kiss. It's an absolute ******** . So, I expected OPman to be asbolute **** and was pleasantly surprised when it was just meh. Still worse than the source material, but not bad.

However, mark my words, this **** is going to get a second season and it is going to have an animation budget of 5$. That's how it always goes - make a great first season, reel in the ******* , then half-ass the second one, because you know they're gonna watch it no matter what. I'm telling you, the japanese are the ******* jews of asia. **** 'em. I can't wait for koreans and the chinese to start making animu. Their mangoes are already better than most japanese.

Ah yes, no comedy has ever had story or character development, and no comedy would be better if it had them.

...why?
User avatar #16 to #15 - thechosentroll (12/14/2015) [-]
I'll rephrase. It's a comedy comedy. Like Seinfeld or Monty Python. It's not a "Ha ha, we're totally a comedy, but we'll rip your heart out" comedy like Futurama or Scrubs. Yes, comedies can have character development and plot and are better off for it. This just isn't that kind of comedy.
User avatar #20 to #16 - steamly ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Have you read the manga? It has some character development. The anime, not so much.
User avatar #21 to #20 - thechosentroll (12/14/2015) [-]
I must have missed it, because I never noticed anything I'd classify as "development". Sure, some characters get a bit of extra background like Fubuki and King, but I never really noticed anyone grow as a character.

#82 to #67 - Eiza (12/14/2015) [-]
They can't do a season 2 until Murata finishes redrawing the Garou saga. He's, like, maybe 1/6th through it right now, but he's adding content to it too so it may be even longer than that before it's completed. Unless they decide to animate ONE's version, which will cause a ********* among the people who only hopped onto the hype train because the anime looks cool rather than because they've read both versions, the second season won't happen until like 3 years from now. It's Attack on Titan all over again.

OPM's fanbase is as cancerous as any other. It can't take criticism.
Any attempt at criticizing the show is met with "ITS JUST A COMEDY BRO, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A GOOD SHOW".
I think it's a good show. But it's not perfect.
User avatar #45 to #30 - kinchou (12/14/2015) [-]
Honestly I just think the whole concept is hilarious. Never bothered to notice the details. Of course, the fact that it came from some random dude's piss ass drawings doesn't mean a thing, it's come a long way and now it's animated by one of the best studios! So yeah... you're probably right. But OPM's fanbase is probably still less horrendous than Undertale's.
User avatar #46 to #45 - therealtjthemedic (12/14/2015) [-]
It gets spammed way more, imho.
I've watched OPM and played Undertale and they're both good. But spamming them won't make anyone like them.
#48 to #30 - magnorph (12/14/2015) [-]
Well of course its not perfect but it isnt about being perfect its about the goal of the show. The goal was to make a funny show that has very little plot or character development and have an invincible character that kills everything in one hit. They did pretty damn perfectly if you ask me.

I seriously like this anime a lot more than any other because it really does show what I've always wanted to see. A protagonist that only wants to fight and be stronger who is also funny. It also deals with boredom and depression from being the best at something, and in an indirect way shows that struggle is necessary in life and without it life can be pretty devoid of meaning.

Overall I think its a cleverly written show that sticks to its point. However, like you said it ain't perfect, i really hate the majority of the side characters and only watch it for Saitama and Mumen Rider. And the 4 episode buildup I could honestly do without, however perhaps thats just more satire. I give it A+5/Good
User avatar #49 to #48 - therealtjthemedic (12/14/2015) [-]
