| Not the best 1st episode of the year, but I like it. The animation is soooo great. I kinda feel the comedy in this episode is not as funny as in the manga. But I'm sure One Punch Man will be anime of the year, at least for me. I hope more people will like OPM. |
 |
| Awesomeness is just overflowing.... FLCL style.... |
 |
| Poor guy... being the strongest sure looks boring. The animation is very good but I don't understand all the hype for this anime, yet. |
 |
| I don't see where the hype is coming from. Nothing special. |

Dude will meet a worthy opponent. Hardly a story. Comedy? I think I chuckled when he broke his alarm clock near the end. Even by 'traditional' anime logic standards, this was fairly low. Not dropping, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I guess it's easier to appeal to people with high budget mindless action rather than a well thought out story. |

Meeting a worthy opponent won't happen though as many will tell you, because that's the joke. Just saying before the mob gets you. |

The mangas have hype too without animation, he is ranked pretty well on here. The original web comics have very very bad art and still a lot of people find it awesome. |

| I won't drop it yet. I did not have high expectations to begin with. The first episode was not 'bad' per se. It just did not justify the hype that has been on these boards for months. But that's just my opinion. I wish the MC still had hair. He was quite a looker in the flashback. |
| Amazing ep !! his face is just hilarious i can't stop laughing xD |

This is a very popular series. It wouldn't be a so praised, hyped and high rated manga if it hadn't anything to it to constantly pull our interest out This episode adapted the first 4 chapters of the manga, that were just some kinda random chapters with the only purpose to introduce the MC. From now on we are entering the arcs The only thing that absolutly does not change is the fact that our MC will never meet a worthy oponent, but believe me, that's not a bad thing at all xD Not saying that I didn't like those 4 chapters. I got hooked to the series on the 1st chapter(Vaccine Man/Purple Piccolo) |

| This series is popular as a parody and it's liked for "all the awesome little things" instead of some "one big memorable thing". I guess this series will suffer a bit from people not being able to marathon the anime for now. The beginning was the weakest part. The only thing that was even worse, was the underground part of the Garou arc later on, but that is only covered by the webcomic for now, so it won't appear this season for sure. |

| What the hell! So many hate! I guess internet trully a stupid place afterall. you people remember medaka box? A suposedly parody of perfectness and virtue, yet somehow managed to get averagely positive review because it has a tendency towards literary by nisio isin. And then this one punch man with same kind of concept but with emphasis of action, yet so many hate for its first episode. Just because the MC was woman, they managed to get positive review? Fuckin feminazi makes me butt hurt on MAL, you people please just give it a chance, at least it's not as infuriating as medaka Oh, technically the animation was so fluid, man, been a while since anime got this fluid. How many fps is that? Like 30? Might be the most beautifull anime this season, i'm kinda sure it's top 3 at least... |

How many fps is that? Like 30? Might be the most beautifull anime this season, i'm kinda sure it's top 3 at least... It's not that much hate. It already have been discussed, that hateful and raging comment to the popular series is something normal, so all it needs - just take this like someone obvious. Yes, i have to agree, that manga form is a perfect example of normal community - not many of rage comments, discussion is peaceful, and manga is so high, because ratio of hate/love ratings is smaller/bigger than in anime. So, people, who is loving OPM is needs to just be happy about start of anime. And people, who is not liking OPM - is their choice. Remember about Shokugeki no Souma. In start many peoples was just dumbfounded about "How this can be interesting?". Rating was below a 8. Now look on SnS rating now. It is not just SnS. Prison school, which have rating 7.65 in middle of airing, and Shimoneta, which have rating 7.90 in the same timing. Now look on a final stats on both. I just wanted to say - What is interesting, is definitely get what is deserved.(Almost like in Bakuman:) |

Helenus said: The first episode was not 'bad' per se. It just did not justify the hype that has been on these boards for months. But that's just my opinion. take a guess, who's hyping this show is basing their hype only on the first episode, first few chapters? |
 Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
| People are hype for the show because they like the mangas. Not everyone have the same taste. |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: So is this a show about world strongest man trying to find an worthy opponent who doesn't get defeated in one punch? Or is there something of a plot? Just curious.......... Well it's supposed to be enjoyed as a comedy or parody if i am not mistaken...........the action at the end was pretty nice, even though it was a dream. A comedy yes, but OPM is not really a parody anymore And basically yes, for Saitama is just finding a worthy oponent. Not really one that can survive more than one punch, but finding someone that can give him a thrill But there are more characters with other objectives, like the cyborg you saw at the end of the episode |
| I have decent expectations. Nothing superb, but I feel like it will be a fun little show. |
| Epic first episode! Saitama is awesome! And we get a preview of Genos at the end, can't wait for the next episode! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |

I was afraid that the trend might continue with pure action (a la something purely for fanservice) but apparently that isn't the case, which is good. |
Helenus said: I don't see where the hype is coming from. Nothing special. same here. i felt that the episode was a little bit too rushed and i expected it to be funny since it's supposedly some kind of a parody show but i did not find anything funny at all. i kind of presumed that it would at least have some impact since people are continuously praising how the show is great and all. but then it might be too early to judge. might check out a few more episodes in hopes that it will live up to the hype. |

| Well, i'm just glad we're passed the Overlord, that was so boring. Great start to the Anime, well done with the action scenes. |
| Great first episode! Saitama is damn awesome though I didn't expect him to have a deep voice. |
 |
| damn, I knew that the series would look but not THAT good shingo natsume is da man |
| I take it this is the most hyped show of this season. Very nice start so far. |

There is not only City B, there is also City Z, M etc. DatRandomDude said: Hrybami said: 1/10 Dropped. Looks like a worse version of Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! with terrible animations and awkward dialog. Dude ... terrible animation ... dafuq do you want ? everything like Fate/stay night ? The guy just doesn't know what he is talking about when he is saying terrible animations... Also why does everything animation-related have to be compared to UBW when the animation of it wasn't even that amazing? |

| What's up with the OPM fans getting all defensive when someone says that based on this first episode they don't understand the hype for it?. Seems like a fair statement to me, considering for an anime watcher this could very well feel underwhelming, as the beginning is the weakest part of the series. Let's try not to turn this into another obnoxious fanbase where people can't freely express their opinions without getting criticised even when pointing out legitimate complaints. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

Why everything must be compared to it, I don't know, but denying that the animation of UBW wasn't that amazing is as false as the comment you are criticizing xD How is it false? The animation in UBW was good, I never said otherwise. However, people seem to think that the visuals, which were absolutely amazing in UBW, are the animation but they are not. What they see is great art with ufotable magic shaders being at work. The animation, technically, itself was good but not outstanding to the point that every show must be compared to it. I would argue that for example Canaan, a show that doesn't get too much talk, has significantly better animation than UBW. It's smoother in action with movements much more complicated than in UBW and also has more sense of livelyness in scenes with more people around. It's ok for people to think that UBW has good animation. But it always sounds like UBW is heads above any other show in terms of animation which is just not true. |

| I've heard of this for a while now but it's hella amusing and awesome at the same time :D Didn't disappoint~ Ep 1 was intense. Comedy is the best xD Saitama best hero I'm not gonna read the manga until I finish the series to keep the /thrill/ |

Let's try not to turn this into another obnoxious fanbase where people can't freely express their opinions without getting criticised even when pointing out legitimate complaints. The thing is, I myself was interested, but not "hyped" after I had read through the chapters the anime has covered at this point. When peope are "hyped" they are probably talking about the whole manga and I as well as many other consider the beginning of the series a bit weaker than the later parts. |

| How exactly is it 'hate' or 'bashing' to state the opinion that the first episode of a new anime didn't blow my mind? I thought the first episode of One Punch Man was average/not bad. How is this considered bashing/hating? And yes, in my opinion it wasn't anything 'special'. Nothing I haven't seen before in other anime. Concerning the first episode, the one original thing was the bald MC. |

| Mmh, Parody, huh? Well, I don't like Gintama either. #hateincoming |
| That was some really awesome action animation, it was very reminiscent of Trigger for me and reminded me a lot of Kill la Kill, very fast paced, enjoyed the comedy and loved the animation, beautiful. Can't wait for the next episode. |

| It seems like you simply can't hack other peoples opinions. Isn't this just double standards? Why can they hype/praise an episode, why we can't claim something is 'average', or isn't as great as other people claim it to be? |

How is this considered bashing/hating?..And yes, in my opinion it wasn't anything 'special'. Nothing I haven't seen before in other anime. Concerning the first episode, the one original thing was the bald MC. Imagine you are at a party, you are in a group of people, you are all talking enthusiastically about this movie you just watched, someone is walking by the group, and interrupts them to say: "oh, that movie wasn't that special, it was boring" and then leaves. What would be your opinion of that person? Nothing is wrong with stating a negative opinion of something, but if you must, then you probably should make strong arguments to support your opinion. Saying something generic like "its not original", particularly after only one episode, is not a "strong" argument. It makes you appear like someone who enjoys raining on other people's parades. And, you may not know, but people like, who cannot "read the air" generally are not liked. That metaphor is completely misplaced. This isn't the OPM circlejerk, it's a thread to discuss its first episode, so complaining about how this first episode was not the coming of Jesus as the hype might have led some to believe is totally fair. Also, why are you criticising him for not elaborating his opinion when the majority of the posts in this thread are stuff like: "this was great" or "this was hilarious" and that's it? Double standards much methinks. |

| Oh god the big-chinned brat, the bad guys... I could not stop laughing. It's so exaggerated it borders on serious. I feel bad for Saitama. His dead look is so awesome, reminds me of Gintoki (from Gintama). |
