I think the Sea King's theme introduced in this ep is the best stuff I've heard from the soundtrack so hard. So badass. I hope it's a preview of what's to come in ep 9!

Unfortunately my favorite rank s hero only showed up for maybe five minutes.
Still can't wait for next episode.

To be honest, I actually like Puri Puri. Sure, I completely understand people not liking him since unfortunately some people think gay guy = wants to rape men and I don't know if the author meant to make fun of the stereotype as this is a satire or if he believes that (NOT SAYING HE DOES, I know nothing about One's decision about Pri Pri).
But, ignoring the whole issue of him being gay, a RAPIST is a hero. Sure, you may think that is a con, but honestly it shows how screwed up the whole world is and proves that to call one a hero isn't black and white as the show continues to prove to us. And as another poster pointed out, the author said that he believed Pri pri wrong to have a harem in prison as that was indeed sick. Honestly, for being such a cliche and HUGELY offensive, he is one of the least black and white morality person in the cast. He can barely control his dark urges (by doing it or almost doing it to criminals which is at BEST fucked up) yet is willing to die to save innocent people. And yes, I have read the webcomic and without spoilers (heck the manga isn't even that far) I thought Pri Pris was bad-ass.
Just my opinion on Pri Pri Prisoner. If you despise his character, you have plenty of good reasons for it. I just find it interesting how someone can do such horrible things and yet be considered a "hero".

Damn them for choosing now to give us our first to be continued episode...
Agreed. I won't stand for this!...*patiently waits until next week.*
That theme was actually in episode 1, when Saitama was fighting the crab guy
But yes, it's an awesome theme
?
I thought he's called "license-less" rider because he doesn't have a motorbike license and has to use a regular bicycle, not because he doesn't care about the rules

You're probably right, but the latter is much funnier.

Mumen can either be interpreted as "license-less" or "unlicensed". For Mumen Rider, it refers to the fact that he doesn't have a motorcycle license and the fact that he's a Kamen Rider parody
Don't in the future.

What does Mumen mean?
They're just saving money for next week's epicness. And the epicness that will follow after that

Being a play on the word kamen (masked) iwould say it is meant to be interpeted as licenceless.

Genos gets rekt naturally. He's the ultimate glass cannon
It's for your own good. Your jokes are bad and you should feel bad.
Calling him a glass cannon implies he can actually cause damage, though.
Was looking around and there are some recreations/covers of tracks from the show
Track from the 1st half of the Episode 1 Fight
Rock cover
Guitar cover
Track from the 2nd half of the Episode 1 Fight
Cover 1
And a Violin/Keyboard cover of both themes/the entire Episode 1 fight
I'm sorry, I couldn't tell

OK, so I've watched all 8 episodes of this (I believe that's all there has been so far (do we know how many there are in this season?)) and I'm absolutely loving it.
This is only the second Anime I have ever watched, after Attack On Titan.
Any recommendations on other Anime as funny, or maybe even more so, as One Punch Man?

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan and Kill La Kill for the over the top action and some funny moments here and there.
Great Teacher Onizuka for the comedy part.
Give "Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?" a shot.

Will do, cheers.
Let's keep it clean, mate.
I'll be sure to check these out. Thanks guys.
It's nothing too dirty (as long as you ignore the horrible OVA episode), I just put the quotation marks there because the name is so long. It's a very non-serious anime with characters that are way too strong for the world they're set in. Includes people casually beating down so called gods and kicking laser beams apart.
"It's time to transform!"
"He's naked."
Sea King arc is so great. The steady climb of super villains is one of the aspects of the series I enjoy most. Reminds me of DBZ arcs in a way, intentional or not. This is like King Piccolo territory, where the odds are insurmountable, the stakes have been raised, but we still haven't quite hit the limit just yet.
Also, I really really wish they would animate some of the extra chapters just for fun.

Maybe that could be a second season? All side stories?

How much do I need to spend to make sure it happens?
Anime sales are less relevant to a possible sequel then manga sales
Admiral Woofington

I was gonna say. The manga is popular as fuck, as far as I know. And it should be fairly popular in the west. They might see demographics and realize that not only with manga sales but with appeal to the west it might eventually be worthwhile to make a second season.
As to MadHouse never doing sequels I can't think of an example where they didn't, but they sure as hell adapt all of the manga, look at HxH.

Didn't Madhouse to Hajime no Ippo season 2 & 3. Where did this myth start that they don't do sequels?
I think they used up all the crowd budget on the Bikini Lady at the beggining :lol:
I am not demanding more Black Lagoon (while I should), I was wondering too about the "no sequels"-thing. They certainly do sequels, as showcased with Black Lagoon and Chihyafuru.

They did, yeah. And honestly, seeing the popularity of the series so far, I think it's quite likely that we'll see a second season. Especially Western attention seems very high, but it remains to be seen if this means much for actual sales of anything.
Watch Tengen Toppa.
Don't watch Kill la Kill, at least, not until your more comfortable with anime in general.
Kill la Kill is extremely polarizing. People either really like it, or really hate it. If you recommend it to a newbie, they could easily be driven off of watching anime in general...
