Why did One Punch Man become so popular with non-japanimation fans?

Wrong.

The animation in Shinsekai yori is superb. It was only shit for two episodes and that was because of the guest director who worked on those episodes. Not to mention that the bad animation in those episodes are still better than the horrible One Punch Fag. I vomited when I watched the first episode and I definitely regret it.

Other than that, Shinsekai yori had speechless background ambience and dark scenery which demonstrate how well a 10 suit well with Shinsekai yori.

So edgy I could cut myself with it.

OT: The popularity of OPM is the typical popularity of the hyped shows of the year. Nothing more, nothing less.

I tried to read/watch Shinsekai yori but got bored half way through. Soorry man, that shows so slow and boring I almost fell asleep while watching that. Regardless of how good it is later on, I still don't care because the premise sucks ass. There's humans with psychic power they can never use because If they do they end up dying. Then get killed without putting up a fight against their own slaves monsters. Ain't that stupid? Another thing is that almost all the main cast died near the beginning. And then there's the daughter due to some shitty plot excuse, can use her power without dying then she use her power to kill nearly all of them. I was like "wut is this shit?" then I dropped the whole thing like a coconut in a tree.

Because shounen is the most popular gender so it's easy to attract people with its parody.

The manga is way more popular than the anime in Japan. That's because Madhouse is shit and so is westerners' taste.

OPM is seinen manga.

I think its humor is quite appealing. It's not your typical shounen where the main character is a loser virgin who is surrounded by big-titted women and is actually pretty useless in battle until he finally powers up through training.

It's an online manga (that regularly appears in shounen magazines).

It's something anyone can enjoy. Action and non complex story makes it entertaining for casual watching I guess.

that shows how much the japanese audience sucks they love shit like kyoani but deslike madhouse the one who is by far the best anime studio

Hrybami said:

Madhouse is still shit tho. Crappy animation, soulless adaptation, ugly chara-design, recycled themes and backgroud. Watching Madhouse anime is as exciting as slicing bread. Just to discover that each slice of bread are exactly the same plain piece of cafeteria's crappiest meal one after one.

At least KyoAni has actually good animation and some variety as well.

What? KyoAni is as much loved in the West than in Japan. It's a fan-service studio.
