Welp, you've convinced me. Incredible action, comedy that's actually funny, an artist who knows how to cater to my love of destroyed cityscapes. I don't think I could ask for something better than this.

Death Bot posted:It looks like soft focus on a camera, could be some digital post stuff, or maybe he's just good enough to draw blurry poo poo. I'd believe post drawing digital effect because if you look, you can see what look like lens flares around some of the lights. That said, if you look at the back parts, I'm looking underneath the exclamation points where those little squares are on that whatever it is that's sticking out, you can see little after effects and faded out version of those squares so it looks like that part is rumbling or shaking. If that isn't a post drawing effect, then maybe none of it is, in which case goddamn.

Liar posted:Speaking of which, I don't know what I'd like more at this point; him meeting someone who's also insanely powerful because they did some inane exercise like using a Wii fit game, or just continuing to one-shot basically everything in existence. I think I definitely prefer him one-shotting everything because what grabs my attention so much from the writing is that it explores Saitama, who in a lot of other things would either be a lovely self insert or maybe a half baked parody, as a character. If he started fighting people who were as strong as him, it'd probably just turn into shonen fluff. The art would still be great and the action would still hold me as a reader, but I'd just blow through the non-fighting parts because I wouldn't care. To that end, I'd actually be ok with his powers never getting a proper explanation. I'd be ok with them just making half-hearted teasing in the vein of the head of the Super Hero Registry saying "it's like the power of God resides in Saitama." Now, that part may later turn out to be for real, but I'd be ok with it just being a one off and us never actually learning if there's more to him than the training regiment or not. So far, it's not what matters to me.

Crono S. Magnum posted:Something I noticed is that there's a definite gulf between Saitama and Genos. Where Genos and most of the villains thus far take the world ultra seriously and believe themselves to be pinnacles of their particular areas, Saitama is just this guy who had a dream and did what he thought would help him reach it. This is my favorite dynamic in the whole thing. My favorite jokes in the story so far, Genos's  backstory and when he goes all Batman pose while Saitama just stares vacantly at him, have come out of that.

Justin_Brett posted:So was this chapter hinting that Saitama's strength might be due to the same thing that's causing Z-City to spit out so many monsters? Hope not, I love that part about him. It's ok if there's speculation, especially if it's increasingly ridiculous like if next arc they reveal that Saitama grew up near a radioactive landfill or something. I just don't want anything definitive. I really thought that guy with the mustache was going to be evil. He and Golden Ball seem to be in the heroes for ladder climbing, so maybe he'll end up being later. And I'm also looking forward to more Watchdog. I hope that wasn't just a one-off.

That makes me wonder. Was that guy asked to join the Miss Blizzard group after he'd become B rank or before? Tank Top Black Hole tried to frame Saitama for doing it, so I wonder if lower rank heroes can team up with higher rank heroes to get easy points to climb the ladder.

AnonSpore posted:the news doesn't agree with his assessment on the threat level of the fishmonsters. He comes off as the kinda guy who became a hero because he wanted everyone to love him as a celebrity hero, so exaggerating, even just to himself, the threat he's facing to a disaster that will destroy all humanity is probably just an extension of that. He's like the opposite of Saitama.

When the TV report that clued Saitama and Genos into the problem, it described the disaster level as "Tiger." According to Genos's description of disaster levels, "Tiger: Threat to an unspecified large number of human lives." When Stinger finished off the last four enemies, he estimated that their total threat would be "God" level, "Threat to humanity." I'm not saying he's not super tough, one of the ones he took out was listed as "Tiger" on it's own and he took down ten by himself while getting a roughed up face. I'm just saying he's prone to exaggerating.

AnonSpore posted:[spoiler]All-back is the Japanese name for a type of hairstyle where the hair is slicked back away from the forehead, usually with some sorta hair gel or spray to keep it that way. It's named that way because, you know. All your hair is going back. I figured it would be something like that, a cultural or fashion thing going over my head. Or a pun. But man is this the chapter for awesome hero names. I don't know if I want these guys specifically to keep appearing or if I just want there to be a constant flow of guys named like that. Maybe both.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:To be fair, in most manga, this would be a misdirection that leads to some stupid bullshit where Saitama is the son of Piccolo destined to fulfill some ancient prophecy we found out about ten minutes ago. This is not most manga. Just being a little more honest. On the positive side, that might explain why his power correlates with baldness.

Shugojin posted:I kinda lost it at NOTE: THIS ISN'T TRUE. v Well, I think it's trying to tie into the later theme of heroes are not necessarily good people. They just fight people effectively publicized as bad people and/or that are more upfront about their lovely intentions for others. Then mix that with "prison rape isn't really bad because it only happens to bad people," a hosed up but very real mentality some people have. I'm willing to believe that's the attempted point, make the audience laugh at something hosed up then point out in no uncertain terms how hosed up what they just laughed at actually is, but it's not making me feel any better about it. Maybe the follow through of "this is hosed up and so are you for laughing" isn't strong enough. I dunno. onepixeljumpman fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Aug 11, 2013 |

"World of Demons" is a lot more specific about there being demons. You need the original Japanese to really understand the complexity of that sentence.
