It's pretty unbelievable that they killed the protagonist off in the first season.

What, did you just miss the scenes where they showed Hammerhead getting away and living a normal life? He's fine.

I only just caught up and finished the anime. Incredible ride, treat for the eyes. Sad it only got a half season but it's probably for the best. Seems promising that there are a lot of loose threads and popularity that this will get another half season in the future unless I missed any official announcement of that.

In the future, when they have enough. I think there will be, considering how popular the first one is.

Presumably the government just uses other forms of public funding to give their "special advisers" gigantic wage increases to do the same job. At least that's what I think the article was suggesting. Was certain I posted this in the UKMT.

I finally sat down and watched this show after just kinda absorbing knowledge of the comic through osmosis for the last 5 years or whatever.

Oh man. What can I say that hasn't probably been said? Fantastic show.

Okay I get why this gets posted in response to people going "SEASON 2 WHEN" but I'm pretty sure that doesn't preclude a season 2 from ever happening? We might just be waiting 2 or 3 years for it instead of 1 like usual.

e: or is there some kind of rule in the anime industry where, with rare exceptions, if you can't make a season 2 the year after, you just drop the thing entirely? But yeah, point is, if someone's just asking "is Madhouse planning to do it when there's enough material" that's not super relevant

i mean, there's not much point in discussing a second season that wouldn't materialize for like 2+ years. it's not even a done deal, as much as all of us would hope/think.

Maybe it'll be like Attack on Titan and instead of Season 2 we get the adventures of Saitama in Junior High School. Uh oh! Class rep Tatsumaki is on the rampage again! And what crazy idea does Metal Knight have for the culture festival?!

they're doing mob next year, they will probably do a second season of opm the year after that. a year is plenty of time to finish up the garou arc if he really goes for it, which he said he would.

They'll make more if there is sufficient material and the companies involved decide that an anime will move enough copies of the mang

Mob Psycho 100 is owned by a different company and being animated by a different studio, so I don't know what its airing has to do with when OPM gets a second season.

I'm having the hardest time convincing my friend to watch as her main complaint seems to be "It's a one joke series, hurr hurr Saitama beats everything in one punch. There's no tension, it's got great animated fights but Saitama ruins it because you know he's going to win and how." She was also upset that Boros is dead because "He could have been something but then Nope. Saitama"

That's like the BEST thing about this show. It's like watching DBZ or whatever it just happens faster. The tension is about day to day stuff or the other characters besides Saitama.

I'd say that OPM is an excellent lesson for amateurs that there's a lot of ways to create tension and write a story, and that the fights in fighting anime/manga/whatever are kinda superfluous and don't have to be a real focus... if they are in the first place. Most of the time the fighting in things about fighting have about as much narrative importance and tension as the fighting in OPM.
