| I'M SO BEYOND STOKED I haven't been this excited about an anime in a really long time. |
| Narukami no sukoshi toyomite (A faint clap of thunder) sashi kumori (Clouded skies) Ame mo furanu ka? (Perhaps rain comes) Kimi wo todomemu (If so, will you stay here with me?) |
| "feeling terror" is still an emotion though. Can't have that for Saitama! |
 |
| Very good pilot episode. I'm curious to see if the show holds up to the hype! |
| Very good start for one punch man! i loved this episode^^ 5/5 |
| Very good. Quite funny. That OST was godly. |
| Dragonball? No, it's One Punch Man! Villains are quite interesting here; too bad One Punch Man needs only one punch. Damn, the dream battle against the Subterraneans was soooo different from reality. Can't wait for Saitama to find a worthy opponent. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| So I just watched the first episode of One-Punch Man. So far, it seems to be a rather faithful adaptation of the early chapters of the manga. It appears to have a promising start, and hopefully it'll continue to be an enjoyable enough viewing experience. The episode did a great job of Saitama being able to defeat enemies with just one punch, and how he lacks emotion due to how easy his fights are because he's lost the thrill of actually fighting an enemy. My only real complaint is how in a couple of the fight sequences, the animation suddenly became very exaggerated, with Saitama and the villains moving like they're rubber. I thought this was One-Punch Man, not One Piece. :) This exaggerated animation just doesn't entirely fit with the animation style being used in the rest of the episode. I know this One-Punch Man is on the comedic side, but I think the animators made some of those fight sequences a little too "cartoony." While Dragon Ball Z has utilized some exaggeration in the fight sequence animation, it was nothing like the exaggeration I saw in One-Punch Man. |
| Great episode! I was expecting a lot from this one...and i'm not disappointed. Great animation, great music, great fights! So many good things. I'm looking forward to the next episode and to Genos :D And two things to people who haven't read the manga: 1) Yes, vaccine man look is inspired from Piccolo(and, if i'm not wrong, he is voiced by the man who, in Japan, voiced Freezer from dragonball), mixed with Baikinman, the bad guy from Anpaman a japan's kid cartoon(in fact One Punch man is ispired also from anpaman). One is a big manga fan, of course, and that started as a battle manga parody. 2) As said, that started as a parody, then it developed to be much more, with a great story. So, don't be afraid, it's going to be awesome ;) Ps. Sorry for my english, it's not my native language ^^" |

| I dunno, maybe it's me, but it was just painfully average. Nothing really stood out and I guess all the people hyped about it read the manga and were waiting for this adaption. I just found it kind of boring I suppose. |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| Epic first episode is epic! Saitama knows fully well that he is too strong, but that alone makes the fight scenes in this episode so exciting. The soundtrack, paired with the unique art and excellent animation makes it so brilliant. I wonder how powerful Genos will be in the next episode... |
| lol-ing so hard when the titan clapped his bro like a mosquito the OST is great! |
| Finally saw the 1st ep in good quality and must say it's much better! |
| Woah..I didn't expect the OP song could be so good, I always thought "Shindehai" is the only song that could fit perfectly in this show but I'm wrong =3= |
 |
| Seems like Madhouse is pulling out the big guns with this one. Pretty awesome episode :) Oh the struggles of being OP though. Had a feeling the poor guy was dreaming when the subterraneans said they had already killed off 70% of the population xD Also waiting on people complaining about the MC being OP as they did for Overlord ;) |
 |
| OMFG!!! THAT OPENING!!! :O I nearly shtted myself from the awesomeness XD XD XD ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCHH!!!!! |
 |
| I hope this wont be a "One punch victory" every episode until the end. Otherwise what's the point. |

Always-Hungry said: I hope this wont be a "One punch victory" every episode until the end. Otherwise what's the point. It is called "One Punch Man" for a reason, he even says that he is bored from winning fights so easily, he won't feel alive again until he gets a proper challenge, that's the point. |
 |
| i don't think it's as good as people are making it out to be. |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |
| Godly animation! |
 |
| Loving this show! Lol at the fight being a dream. |

Chiralityy said: I don't understand why this is hyped up to be "AOTY" standard from episode 1, it's hardly deserving of it, everything was good and dandy in terms of animation as it normally is with Madhouse, but everything else seemed nothing out of the ordinary, particularly humour, hope it gets better in the upcoming episodes, mangafags. If you read the manga you would know why its hyped :D |

| Haha that was amazing. I love the animation. This feels more like a homage to the great shounen series, even if it's littered with parody. Promising as all shit. |
| that was okay |
| God damn that may have been one of the most hype first episodes I've ever seen. Madhouse is gonna fucking kill it with this one if the first episode is any indication. |
 |
| I've read about 20-something chapters of the manga, and then stopped reading...for some reason I don't know. Then I fell behind big time. Loved it, though. Anyway, none of this is new to me yet, but it sure is nice that Madhouse is adapting the hell out of this. No wonder it's only going to be 12 episodes! Looking forward to the first "Is One Punch Man overrated?" thread. I'm sure it'll pop up soon enough, knowing MAL. |

| Based Madhouse. They delivered on everything that I am looking for the adaptation of One Punch Man. Seriously can't wait for Genos and the other heroes as well. |

|
| Whoa... they should rename him the Overpowered Man. It's pretty good for the first episode, it builds up the explanation on his powers and his love of fighting, but he can't enjoy it much because he killed everyone in one punch. That part with the brothers are hilarious lol. Also what's with the dream... oh well, I guess having the bald guy's city destroyed in 1 episode wouldn't be fun. The main character doesn't seem to care much about his surroundings... I wonder if he will change this traits. I also wonder how the story will go, somehow being overpowered doesn't give too much of a story. I hope it gets interesting later, although the animation and comedic value is worth praising. Also is that first enemy in this episode is voiced by the same guy who voiced Ceasar on One Piece and Mayuri on Bleach? Because it sounded kind of similar. |

Too bad I missed them. |
| But why. My soul hurts. WHY SHOW HIM LOOKING SO HOT WITH HAIR. I'm so fickle yes lol now i'm gonna have to continue the rest of the show seeing a bald head man with the memory of a hot one. Nah but his comical appearance has already grown on me. I like how he gets more cooler looking when he's fighting tho. |
| If there's an actual Justice League, if they have the technology to locate troublemakers, if he's so damn strong, why in the blue hell isn't he with them? |
 |
| Too bad Saitama didn't keep his hair-- but bald is good too, I guess Loving the animation, art, pretty much everything. |
 |
| BASED. So this is where Overlord's budget went? |
| That weird I saw episode one on September 8, 2015 Until I saw this Episodes 1 and 2 will be previewed at a screening at Saitama City Culture Center (Small Hall) on September 6, 2015. Regular broadcasting will begin on October 5, 2015. |
 |
| Decent opening episode to a new anime. While it didn't make me laugh at all, the action scenes were pretty entertaining. Will see how the story (and comedy) develops over the next few episodes. |
