One Punch Man Specials

These six medium-length episodes turned out to be fun with small stories that are more of the characters' day-to-day life without so much fighting or danger that threatens entire cities in between, personally chapter 1 was the best by far, from then on There is not much else to highlight.Each character has an appearance in this series, which is greatly appreciated, and the animation in the few moments of action that there are continues to be dazzling.The only bad thing I could say is that chapter 3 was somewhat boring, Sonic is not a really interesting character beyond the joke of his obsession with beating ... Saitama hehe.

They are entertaining and you will enjoy it if you loved the first season like I did.

I had no idea these existed for months after I had watched the first season, I think I found some out of context clips on youtube and wondered what they were from. These are surprisingly good, and actually offer quite a bit in terms of world building and character development for some of the hero cast beyond Saitama and Genos. I'd say they're a must watch for fans of the show and do a lot to enhance the experience.

You won't get a lot of big set pieces or huge choreographed fight scenes here, but that's not to say there's zero action. For what there is ... the animation is still pretty good considering these are just shorts tacked on as a DVD bonus. They could have totally phoned it in with these but I swear it looks better in some places than a lot of season 2. (We'll get to that in my review of that season, oh boy.)

Each episode focuses on one of the characters or the group of characters introduced in whatever episode it was supposed to air between. I think roughly once every other episode of the main show. They're all cool little mini stories about those characters and do a lot to make you like some side characters you might not have cared about otherwise. Also the original creator wrote these so they're totally canon. 9/10

The specials aren't very significant, really.

Of course, it's just some OVAs so big important, detailed stories shouldn't be expcted in the first place, and the plots really are just some simple, silly stuff.

The comedy is good, after all it IS One Punch Man, but nothing hilarious like in the anime itself.

The show doesn't really treat any situation as serious or important since it's just some short comedies, so the characters don't really feel off since they're rarely put in a situation with any real stakes and even when they are, everything is presented comedically.


Overall; It's a nice watch if you wanna kill some time ... while waiting for more OPM content, nothing feels out of place or character, but you're honestly not missing out on much if you just skip it. If you're gonna watch it anyway, leave some space to breathe between the episodes, after 2 episodes it can get kind of boring.
