One Punch Man

The seemingly unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. In order to pursue his childhood dream, Saitama relentlessly trained for three years, losing all of his hair in the process. Now, Saitama is so powerful, he can defeat any enemy with just one punch. However, having no one capable of matching his strength has led Saitama to an unexpected problem—he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battling and has become quite bored.

One day, Saitama catches the attention of 19-year-old cyborg Genos, who witnesses his power and wishes to become Saitama's disciple. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association in order to become certified heroes that will be recognized for their positive contributions to society. Saitama, who is shocked that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. Meeting new allies and taking on new foes, Saitama embarks on a new journey as a member of the Hero Association to experience the excitement of battle he once felt.

final boss = toxtricity
it is good, is funny but still tells a story without taking itself to serious. MC is average guy who happens to be very strong, with a character who is overwhelmingly strong, strength doesn't define him rather that it is his morals. Many people will just assume it is just a fun power trip anime, but it is about someone who just want to be a hero and do the right thing. It is not a power trip and trying to be stronger than everybody else, but having strength and awareness of who you are to uplift others.

The show is what ... you get from it, similar to Avatar, the kid's show where Aang becomes avatar to save the world. There will be overcoming adversity and characters becoming stronger, but it is more about what oneself should value.

Is it greatest story in world? no, but it is funny and has morals and lessons that are shown through character's actions instead of characters explicitly saying it.

is this review good? no. I just thought the last guy was a pokemon and needed the word count to be high enough.

Mixed Feelings

This is a good critique of modern anime, with it all being pretty generic nowadays, and it can be quite funny occasionally. However, the main joke of the series is that he's facing really strong enemies and he isn't taking them seriously, because of how overwhelming strong he is; I hope you like this joke because IT'S EVERY FRICKING EPISODE. Big generic monster comes, "Bahhahah, I will take over the world!" then some slightly comical things happens while he 's there and then he beats them with "one punch" hence the title. It's ridiculousness is quite enjoyable, but boy does it get repetitive, every time ... without failure, if you don't find this series funny then don't watch it because it's not deep stories and interesting characters as it presents itself but a comedy, super overrated as usual but I feel I have a unusual sense of humour so perhaps this show is simply not for me. Overall, if you find the comedy funny then watch it, it's a show for you. If you're looking for strong writing and deep characters then look elsewhere as this is more for those who want a breath of fresh air from the constant over the top same concepts that keep getting approved for some reason.

Normally I would do a review analyzing each thing, but I'm going to do an analysis at the same level as the anime, weak.

It's almost impossible to analyze history, especially because it doesn't exist. It's something so simple that it feels like you're watching SpongeBob.

It's an anime extremely made for a children's audience, anyone over the age of 12 and doesn't realize how boring the anime is, they have no critical sense whatsoever, besides the story being totally boring, there's no cool character to look at, no. There's a character that you look at and think "I love it when he appears".

The only two things ... that I cite as good are the design of some characters, which are well done, but unfortunately not all of them, and the art of the anime, which also sometimes shows an extremely beautiful line in some scenes, however, it does not remain.
