Aurain posted:The problem with the OP is that it's generic shonen as hell. Rock music and the hero beating the crap out of things. I'll be honest, after seeing that third part to the episode I am looking forward to certain parts of this series like no tomorrow. Have the people who done that, done anything else just as awesome?

I couldn't handle Saitama's goofy smile. It was perfect and hilarious and all that is good in this world.

Having him be all ripped and serious looking dilutes the impact of Serious Series too, for my money. It gives it so much gravity.

Yeah the goofy moments ended by a single punch are how early opm should be. That extended dream sequence may have been rad, but it just felt wrong and didn't really fit with what this show should be. I'd rather it was there for opm newbies to show them how rad this show will get, but for ME it kinda felt bad. e: Also, the whole "Saitama is frustrated because all his fights end too quickly" thing only seemed to exist in the early chapters, later ones just have him as some chill guy finishing people's fights for them and rocking around being invulnerable. I thought maybe the show would lose that plot point since it's pretty much thrown away before long in the manga.

It's just that interacting with people and making friends makes his life better. He still seeks thrills but he has more than just that now.

Yeah Saitama goes from being completely alone to being surrounded constantly by a posse. He's still a god among mortals but at least he's forced to interact with people day to day.

I'm glad they kept the shot of the cactus when he says "I have become too strong" but I'm very sad the little girl in the beginning is not labeled SCHOOL CHILD.

It's also played for a joke at the beginning anyway. When he is talking about how he has become too strong he is like "I have become emotionally numb, i feel no fear, no joy, no excitement, no anger". Then he fails to squish the mosquito and is all "God drat gently caress poo poo!" with a vein popping out of his head in fury.

We've already seen the Boros fight, and it starts off with Saitama launching himself headfirst into the ship in the hopes that he'll get a challenge, and end with him looking disappointed as Boros declares him "too strong." And we've seen the start of the Garou arc where he gets excited after hearing how powerful Garou is, and there's the filler comics where he enters a martial arts tournament under Charanko's name hoping to find a challenge. Honestly, you could make the argument that Saitama's got some form of clinical depression, and the series is about him managing it by engaging with friends.

Madhouse is a studio that generally knows what it's doing, and from this first episode, it's clear that they know what the fans expect. I'm not expecting it to be exactly this quality for the entire series, but I am expecting that they'll ration things out so the stuff that really matters IS this quality. Plus, it's from the director of Space Dandy, which was pretty much beautiful throughout.

How much material does Madhouse have to work with anyway? I don't read ONE's webcomic and just wait for the Murata adaptation to come out so I'm not sure how far ahead of that release the original is.

One has finished the Garou arc and we are currently at the start of a new one, maybe a third in. There was pretty long period of inactivity on that front though, which is probably why Murata added the tournament.

I'm just gonna call it and say that the anime will finish its season with Boros and then wait a few years to come back and do what comes after.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Why? The Garou arc is done and is by far the best arc in the entire comic so far, I'm gonna be hugely disappointed if it does not get animated. It feels like Boros is a good place to go if you want to make it 26 or so episodes, it showcases a whole bunch of the world and hammers Saitama's conflict. I'm not saying Garou won't be animated, it sure as hell will be, but anime of this quality can't possibly run for a full year+, you need a lot of time for a good product which seems to be what they want to do, so i'm just guessing Boros for a pausing point and then come back full force in a year or three with Garou and stuff that's ahead of it. Just basically we won't get all the way up to where ONE is in one go, and for a pausing point Boros seems good because by then every relevant character gets to be showcased and the end of that arc is pretty climactic. Long-reach prediction: final shot of this anime will be Garou seeing that the heroes stopped the invasion on his tv and shutting it off, muttering how it's time for monsters to get a win or something.

A site briefly listed it as 12 episodes and that's Serious Punch at the end of the OP so probably stopping at Boros

I have to agree with some of the detractors, but I think it's just because it was the first episode. It felt somewhat generic. I feel like if I had showed this show to someone, they wouldn't understand why it was great. Also the fact that I knew when the punches or the plain-faces were coming probably really ruined them for me, but that's inevitable. Though, overall, I think this'll be great as it keeps going. Also, I forgot how many people get killed so quickly at the beginning...  It was a struggle just to find a version to watch overseas, but even then it didn't have the ED or OP.

licenseless rider and genos' hair looks very similar, and his bike is not super visible in the op, so at first i thought they had included some manservice of genos shaking his rear end for the camera

I love the OP to the show but some of those monsters he punches into bits just look like they want a buddy to hang out with. Anime Saitama's kind of an rear end in a top hat.

Isn't it a reference to the thing AnonSpore posted about last page?: AnonSpore posted:So here's a factoid about our opening villain, Vaccineman. As noted in the OP, he's an homage to Baikin(germ)man, the antagonist of the children's book/anime series Soreike! Anpanman!. Saitama himself looks a lot like the titular Anpanman:

I think there's a contractual obligation in Japan that all ED themes have to have the same tone regardless of show theme or context and also to just be poo poo.
