I don't know if that's even true. Mob Psycho 100 didn't start until like 2012 when One Punch started in 2009.
Whichever, we should keep in mind that ONE was a hobbyist of manga at the time who put up this webcomic for hell of it. Not expecting to get a paid a single yen. Somehow, someway it gained huge traction, got remade by a really skilled manga artist and here we are.
Fun characters and a fun premise can do that.
This seems like it'll be really good. I haven't watched anime, or shonen anime in a long long time.
The last thing I watched before this was Attack on Titan, I liked it but stopped.
Is there anything else I should check out for shonen I may have missed out in the past 6-7 years?
I'm really out of the loop since I don't watch anime regularly anymore.

Depends. There have been a lot of good sports shonen shows recently like Yowamushi Pedal and Haikyuu. If you can handle 148 episodes HxH 2011 was excellent. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is at around 70 episodes and was great. Shokugeki no Soma was 24.
I haven't thought of sports, definitely willing to try it out.
I like HxH and watched the original anime, but don't think I can watch super long shows.
Shokugeki no Soma is the food anime right? I totally forgot about that and I'll try that.
I loved Gintama back in the day.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll take a peek now!

I'm shocked they were actually able to do it justice. Bravo.

That was a fantastic first episode. The episode managed to adapt four chapters so the pacing seems like it should be good going forward. From the PVs they showed - there are still scenes that are nicely animated not in the first episode so I hope that indicates the animation quality will continue as is.

Loved the first episode,
even though the anime's first episode is going with a slightly more serious Saitama. That Subterranean fight scene was amazing though. I hope they can keep up the good work.

Alright, I wasn't expecting anything but that was fun as hell. How long is the season supposed to be? This and Brooklyn Nine Nine will make for some good Sunday TV.

I think 12 or 13 episodes.
Ay yo no Kuroko no Basketball and Ace of Diamonds recommendation?
Anyway first episode was godlike. That final fight scene melted my face. If we can expect that shit for the real fights then sign me the fuck up.

Thanks, I was expecting a bit more, but considering the quality of the animation I guess it's understandable that it isn't more than this.

It's an adaptation, thats about as much material as there is anyway and it updates at an abnormal pace. Also, a handful of chapters are just made to be turned into .gifs, so you can have 20 pages dedicated to this -

Yeah I knew about it being a adaptation of a manga, I just thought there would be more material to cover for the season. I was expecting about 20 episodes.
I'll have to read it, gifs looks great, and I'm in need of a new manga since Berserk uploads new chapters about once a year.

You have to consider that OPM has 103 chapters at the moment and Murata's version is at 52 chapters and entering a filler arc so there isn't that much content to work with.
Don't you have access to daisuki.net? is legal, free, and streaming at 1080p.

Can I just say that Subterranean Fist Bump was the most badass thing I've seen all week?
Mad House, you know me too well. This is everything I've ever wanted.

Is this another Unlimited Budget Works or are they gonna Kill la Kill me?
Madhouse usually manages to keep a consistent quality for their shows, from the first to the last episode.
Madhouse has significantly more money and significantly better production scheduling than Trigger, so not likely. I doubt the first episode will be the episode to episode status quo, but it's basically guaranteed to be consistently above average.
Anyways, yeah, first episode of One Punch Man. Pretty great.
Daisuki is a platform built by the major Japanese companies involved in the anime industry. They've been trying very hard to push it as the defacto "main" platform for legal anime streaming worldwide for a while now, with little success because Crunchyroll has such a strong foothold. So they're trying harder now with more timed exclusives. Maybe they should instead consider that what people prefer is easy of use, and build a better site and have console/mobile apps for it too.

Content locks will draw attention, but only superior (well, at least equal) user experiences will keep 'em there. IP holders gotta learn this!

I've heard great things about One Punch Man in the past, but I was waiting for the anime to jump into it. And I am seemingly completely justified.
That was fantastic.
That was fantastic.
Daisuki is definitely NOT worldwide as Australians here will contest. It looks like now the only way to watch it is with a VPN on either Hulu or Daisuki or with a DNS service for Hulu (doesn't work for me on Daisuki). Basically, if a Hulu subscription is acceptable for some people (you have access to most of Cartoon Network's content which is a plus for me) then that is the best way for Australians. After paying for the two services you just set your DNS to the service's DNS servers. Hulu, Netflix, etc. all then think you are in the US.
This seems like the only legal way to view it for Australians. I don't think of bypassing region locks as anything really bad.
EDIT: How big is Daisuki's catalog? I selected Anime and have a choice of 25 different shows here in Australia. 25. In total.

1st episode was pretty rad.
Also helps it's going to be 12 eps. KLK both it's budget and story was stretch out to 24 eps.
Studios with decent planning can manage, Madhouse made quite some 2-cour anime series without real quality drops
Trigger is just chronically underfunded and not that good in planning their ressources. 12 or 24 make no difference for the quality of the first episode, it's not like both would get the same budget.

Sounded like it. Looks like Picollo, sounds like Frieza. Works for me!
Enjoyed the mix of goofy art/animation with the not-so goofy aesthetics. A bit of dumb fun all in all.
