I used to think if I ever get a chance to watch OPM, I would definitely love it.. Every anime fan undoubtedly say OPM is one of the best anime. But after finally watching the season 1, I really think the plot is not that great, it's just above average tbh.
Don't get me wrong I still loved the OP, Animation, OST everything was god tier but the story felt just like a underrated overpowered MC downplayed by everyone. There's no depth in the villains also. Every hero just appeared without any background information. I'm really disappointed. Perhaps my expectations from this show was too big.
What do you think? Did I miss something.?
PS.- I was thinking of continuing OPM in Shonen Jump manga app after S1, later I will watch S2 anime for visuals. How's the story in manga.? (If anyone read, short review pls)

season one is basically good for cool looking fights and okay comedy with the story only being decent in the last 2 or 3 eps. The manga gets alot better And season two of the anime has better story but worse animation so don’t watch it just read the manga

I agree that s1 doesn't have much of a story but I think it is mostly liked because of the world building and characters. Although during s2 there is a build up to a story with the main villain garou.

Story of opm is creating as scenarios where the comedy clicks. I think it did pretty good at that.plus there was not just comedy but world building and character development is there too.

Its really weird when people think plot is average when its a comical plot

This anime, mainly season 1, is made as a parody on shounen (look it up). Therefore the average plot and non-existent character development is on purpose. If you don’t enjoy this or find it funny, that’s totally fine. After season 1 it becomes a little more of an actual serious story. It will still be comedy though, so don’t expect intricate plot-lines.

Lol nobody says opm is best anime.
It's enjoyable and fun but I have never heard anyone saying it's best anime.
It's just that many less people hate it compared to other famous anime.
And it ranks 102 in Mal.

Its more of a comedy series. Its your fault for expecting some deep writing from it.


Also, yes. Manga is genuinely good with current arc being a banger.

Instead of watching season 2 I'd just reccomend to pick up the manga from around chapter 49.
Season 2 doesn't really do that great of a job in adapting the manga but I can guarantee the story and characters get much better after season 1.

Well it's kind of a parody anime so the story is not supposed to be super important
One thing is that saitama is an MC at the end of an anime so he isn't supposed to grow
It's just good at creating interesting mini stories with other heroes

It gets pretty generic later on. Honestly, it doesn't even feel like a comedy. Just a typical heroes vs. villains story where interesting characters are not given screen time.

That's what is great - you don't know what's coming and when it does, it is believable because of the extensive world building; mainly a character driven story at the beginning; later on it starts to develop a story to serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things

If that's your only problem, then don't worry. Other Heroes get attention in Season 2.

Watching One Punch Man for the story is like watching FLCL for the fanservice, yes, it's there, but it shouldn't be your primary reason for watching. You are supposed to be watching both because they're fun, sure not everyone will agree on this but that's the general consensus as far as I can tell.

Who cares? The plot isn't supposed to be the central point of the series. It's a cool show with dope fights, iconic characters and great animation. If you're looking for plot, go watch aot or fmab.

I will sayy teacher thinks it's the best show he's ever seen. That doesn't mean much though because it's the only anime he has seen and most American shows just have a mid plot with a small sub plot to make you want to keep watching.

What do you expect? It is not really a story driven anime.
Things that make OPM great are action, rule of cool, comedy, awesome characters and deconstruction and overall parody of shonen tropes.

It didnt need to have an elaborated plot tbh. It was a comedy with amazing fights yk, but it wasnt an anime that needed a plot thats was really thought and complicated. Still, s2 isnt that great with that animation, but the manga is incredible, I really love reading it until the last chapter uploaded. It may have less comedy but in terms of fights is just amazing

Your expectations werent big, your expectations were just stright up wrong

The story is just a non-serious funny one, no depth other than saitama being so powerful that hes bored, it shows that a life without any goals to work towards is just boring and unfulfilling

But other than that its just funny jokes, fun fights and fun characters, its not some grand storyline and not many people say its one of the greatest animes

Dude you missed the entire fucking point of the show. It’s a deconstruction of the superhero genre as a whole. A lot of what you pointed out was completely intentional but the writer to subvert the typical tropes of the genre.

I agree, s1 story isn't upto the mark, but s2 story is awesome, but people hate it coz saitama had less screentime, but it isn't studio's fault, it's a web manga adaptation, not something og, and people are bragging for s3, but they'll get even more disappointed coz saitama will get even lesser screentime compared to s2 people don't want story, only saitama actioning and one punching villains.

Honestly i had the same experience with opm. Suuuper over-rated. The only reason that s2 was better than s1 was because saitama didn't have nearly as much screen time. Overlord still got my vote for best "overpowered mc" themed anime

You made the mistake of taking it seriously.

This show doesn't even take itself seriously, there is a villain with some depth in the second season.

But this is a casual, have fun and laugh kinda show, it ain't that deep bro, and it ain't supposed to be.

If you want an actually good story, watch Mob Psycho 100, it's one of my favorite anime of all time.
