Are you fucking kidding me
Episode 3 spoilers

Spoiler

The son of a bitch missed bargain day! AVERAGE HERO INDEED

 

[Jintor]

This poster makes no sense to me. How are they gonna fit all of those characters in there with only 7 episodes remaining?

Most of them don't actually get followed in the story really

 

[Mecha]

It's like the least anime anime ever. I think that's what I like about it.

Nope, some better examples of unconventional anime:

Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor

A Traveller`s Diary

La Maison en Petits Cubes

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'd argue Monster is the most western anime ever. If that's what he meant.

Murata's posters all have the same core cast, even though a half of them haven't been touched on much (or at all) in the manga either.

It's a huge tease but I'd not worry about it.

Most get introduced en masse

Also this.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Yusuke Murata is a fucking treasure

that art is amazing, esp. the last one.

Really it just seems like they shoved every S Rank hero on there

Also this.

I know guys. I've read the manga.

What I mean is that I don't see how they'll get to the point when Fubuki shows up, for example.

 

[Jintor]

tbh I don't think they will.

If we're lucky we'll get that side story where Tornado and Blizzard have cameos.

Subverting or not, it's still tropey as fuck.

Yusuke Murata: For when you want group shots

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

His art has even improved since his Eyeshield 21 days

 

[Crocodile]

Ah yes, the eternally useless debate of how "anime" an anime (or something inspired by anime) is

Spoiler

OPM is pretty damn "anime", c'mon

we should really have a manga/webcomic thread for this series :/

New content comes out too infrequently. Everybody would binge on the ONE or Murata versions and then sit around depressed waiting for new drippings of content

Why does this even exist LMAO

 

[Deltoid]

wait what there's only 7 episodes left? I thought this would go on a while

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Not enough material

 

[Not]

Holy fuck am I tired of dumb people writing off One-Punch Man after one chapter/episode because "the shtick'll probably get tired after a while"

They are not worth worrying about man. Just enjoy the show.

 

[NEO0MJ]

This is plausible, also I would like to know officially how Saitama got his power, but I don't know if we'll find out. Another endgame could possibly be Saitama getting a satisfying fight.

I don't know if I want that. Can anything be satisfying?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I don't know if I want that. Can anything be satisfying?

Saitama vs Saitama from another universe/time would

 

[Alx]

I don't know if I want that. Can anything be satisfying?

The explanation of 100 daily push-ups/sit-ups etc. is entirely satisfying to me.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I don't think ONE should reveal more of his powers origins than what he has already hinted (at least not the inner workings). Same as there is no explanation as how someone who eats crabs becomes a crab monster. Just say he did something, and whatever is off with Z-City did the rest.

 

[Hypron]

The explanation of 100 daily push-ups/sit-ups etc. is entirely satisfying to me.

Yep. It wouldn't be as funny if there actually was another explanation.

 

[Crimson-Death]

Holy fuck am I tired of dumb people writing off One-Punch Man after one chapter/episode because "the shtick'll probably get tired after a while"

Well, you said it, if they were smart they would know better and would enjoy a very fun show.

Yep. It wouldn't be as funny if there actually was another explanation.

I really hope the explanation is never retconned.
But somehow I think if it ever is retconned they will say Saitama was sent to Earth as a baby and his powers were unlocked after his hard training, but I hope not because the subversion in the show would be undermined. Who knows though.

 

[Blues1990]

I've been reading/watching Fist of the North Star & One Punch Man back-to-back, and I'm really curious to know who would win in a one on one fight: Kenshiro, or Saitama?

 

[Siegcram]

Saitama roflstomps

 

[jediyoshi]

just marathoned everything so far

Saitama is a gag character and so could only be defeated by other gag characters.

 

[Siegcram]

Man, if Saitama had been around for Bohemian Rhapsody in JoJo Part 6, the world would have been fucked.

 

[Blues1990]

Saitama is a gag character and so could only be defeated by other gag characters.

Such as Arale from Dr. Slump?

Saitama vs Squirrel Girl?

Yusuke Murata: For when you want group shots

Ok wow, these are amazing!

 

[Fuu]

Murata's MvC poster is excellent too:

And here are his Spider-Man pieces, because why not:

Pretty much. It's up to the writer after that.

Woah, the one with Doc Ock is excellent.

*EDIT* Beaten like Mumen Rider.

Yo does anyone know where I can buy the full OP from Jam Project?

I need it for reasons. YouTube link got taken down.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

This is plausible, also I would like to know officially how Saitama got his power, but I don't know if we'll find out. Another endgame could possibly be Saitama getting a satisfying fight.

This battle made me think that that satisfying fight could be with a stronger Genos, but that'll be too predictable/lame.

 

[Heroman]

This is plausible, also I would like to know officially how Saitama got his power, but I don't know if we'll find out. Another endgame could possibly be Saitama getting a satisfying fight.

We already know how he got his powers.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

We already know how he got his powers.

Retcon is a thing, and is dubious in anime ripe with shonen tropes even if they are the butt of the joke. It's not impossible if we get a "real" reason.

Though yeah, I would hope they keep his training regime as the de facto stance.

 

[Kyne]

Murata/OhGreat!/Oda tied for best manga artist in history imo

 

[Puruzi]

Horikoshi is my favorite in recent memory. His art just has immense style, it's just great.

 

[Qvoth]

ehh manga art is too subjective
miura, takehiko inoue are easily top tier as well

 

[V-Faction]

I didn't know that MvC poster was from Murata. Dat Shinkuberserkerslash.

Also, Eyeshield 21 is pretty great itself.

Let's just have the rest of our lives and the total of human history drawn/recorded by Murata for future civilizations to witness. Can we do that? We can do that right?

 

[tariniel]

Recently I saw a (fan-made?) manga of Saitama v.s. Vegeta, and another of Saitama v.s. Buu and Hercule, and it made me hit up Hulu to watch the available 5 episodes. I'm blown away by how funny and entertaining the show is. I can't wait for more episodes! The humor-action ratio is pretty much perfect so far.

Also, there's a spot in the intro where it looks like Saitama is readying up a Kamehameha, I love it!

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

To me manga art isn't just who draws the most epic fight scenes, it is who makes the most use of the medium, be that weekly/monthly.

So Murata, Katsuhiro Otomo or Akira Hiramoto.

 

[Anung]

We already know how he got his powers.

Nothing will kill this show faster to me than trying give some bullshit excuse for why he is OP. The reason we've been given is already perfect.

 

[koryuken]

watched all 5 episodes. This anime is godlike...

 

[Not]

And here are his Spider-Man pieces, because why not:

Damn. I didn't know he did Marvel covers. Those Secret Wars Spideys are great.
