The 1st King Cameo of the series at 27 seconds. Right? That's not just my imagination is it?

Wtf, I thought this anime would be amazing, the first episode is kind of a letdown though :(
Except for the fights in his dream which were coordinated brilliantly I must say this anime isn't all too good. I'll start this anime off with a rating of 5/10.

Just watched it as part of a 24-hour anime event. I will definitely continue watching One Punch Man.

Great action and humor.

Best opening song this season.

A big-chinned brat? dude that's a balls-chinned brat hahaha just like the one from MIB!

My stomach hurts from laughing so much and I get goosebumps from the fight scenes.. damn I missed this feeling. This feeling I felt when I first saw TTGL!

I only planned to test the waters and watch only 1 episode but pffft. Just 1 more.

Hey check out this "theory" I randomly thought of:

Saitama is bald because he has that one genetic condition when you go bald early.

He has so much power because there was chemicals inside the lobster guy he took down whilst ripping it's eye out and those chemicals got into his exposed bloodstream due to the gash in his head.

Before he got fired and couldn't get a job he never took anything seriously, he's a hooligan, that's why his face is rarely serious.

(Most likely not accurate one bit, but oh well.)

Not as good as people made it look... Overrated, does not deserve all that hype in my opinion.

I'm saying this only having watched episode 1, maybe I'm wrong but I ain't seeing this getting any better, the animation is nothing special as well.

Was highly expecting this after reading both manga versions, but the voice of Saitama for some reason was a total turn-off. Even the voice-acting of the mad scientist brother was more convincing than the protagonist, although he only had a screentime for a few seconds.
Well sakuga was great.

Quite funny and amazing to start with a new anime. The popularity of the franchise just boomed after the start of this anime, and you wouldn't really be surprised with that, seeing this episode.

While ~90% of the commenters enjoyed this first episode, I'm not so impressed.. It could be the overhype, but so far it looks far-fetched to me, no build-up for fight, and sometimes its just too random to me.. Tho the steroid brother part was pretty funny.

It was fun to watch, and a bit refreshing to see a character tired/bored of being strong rather than someone who isn't strong enough yet KeK

Alright this first episode sure was quite interesting and intense, the overall backstory was a bit too short and I do hope they'll expand on it in one of the next episodes, but in general it was quite an interesting first episode and I'm looking forward to what this anime will have to offer together with that if this anime can stand up to its hipe.

I completely agree. Reading the comments here makes me wonder what people found so entertaining (except for the ones that have already been reading the manga). I wasn't impressed at all, and after all the hype I was expecting some gold comedy and action.
There were some parts where I was like ''so.. am I supposed to laugh at this?''. Anyway I'll watch some more episodes in order to form a full opinion on OPM.

Holy smokes!
What an explosive start, friend recommended this show for a while ... I'm definitely impressed.

I genuinely had some laughs and actually am excited for the next episode, been a while since I've had that feeling watching an anime.

The animation is solid and it had a lot of funny parts.

Also ... what the hell is Piccolo doing in this anime ... :D

So Saitama is too strong for his enemies huh? Like the title of the anime suggests...
He basically beats everything with one punch. But the animation sure was intense.
And that dream. I don't think he only had sweats when he had that dream. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Will watch this for sure!

Ahhh after 2 years of hiatus from watching anime, I can have more leisure time to watch them this year. And what better start to rekindling that feeling of watching again than the "OP-one" Saitama haha! So far, things are looking good to me. Glad to see this one get animated.

Welp ~ First EP was great and expecting the same with the rest of the EP's :)

Really enjoyable first episode. I haven't read the Manga so i wasn't sure what to expect, a friend has been bugging me to watch/read this for a while. Really great Animation, and very good dream fight, pre funny too. Wasn't completely blown away or anything but i'll continue watching.

Definitely need some time to get used to Saitama's voice, imo it's a miscast. The mismatch pulls me out of my immersion quite a few times already.

Adapting a few chapters in one episode also felt pretty weird to be honest. By the time Saitama was facing the gigantic humanoid, I had to check the time stamp just to see how far away I am from the end of this episode. Having met the monsters in 4 different situation within an episode, it somehow makes them feel as if they lack some sort of impact. I know it's not supposed to be taken seriously, and Saitama was supposed to 1 hit k.o them, but there was no continuation from a scene to another. He basically one-punched the monster and the next scene skips to him being in the supermarket. It would have probably worked if this was a 5min short skits.

The animation style was also somewhat annoying during the action. Not the comic-book style, but the camera work, during one fight scene the camera follows Saitama as he was hopping around taking down multiple enemies, not only that but they pulled a close-up, which makes it hard to follow the action. Pokemon XY does this too with their pokemon battles, and frankly it's annoying. Hopefully they don't abuse it like Pokemon XY does.

The ending song caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting that type of song at all, and to be honest, I am not sure what (the tone of) that song was trying to convey through this type of anime.

One thing I really liked though was Saitama's loneliness of being the world's strongest, standing alone at the top of the chain. Hopefully this theme gets explored later on down the road. I kind of pity the guy.

P.S. The humour was dry..

Not a terrible start. I don't think it's that amazing though...everyone's been raving about it, but it seems just alright to me. I guess this is the kind of "amazing show" like Gurren Lagann where the action is super over the top? Idk I guess there are more episodes.

It was funny when big-chin kid tried to kick the soccer ball on his knee but it bumped into his face :p I also liked how the real subterraneans were wimpy and surrendered

Holy shit what the fuck is this xD

Totally crazy start but I like this absolute crazyness. And the animation is insane. I love extremely well animated fights. Haha this difference between when he's normal or when he fights is cool.

Can't wait to see more episodes of this.

This ED was kinda surprising O.o

This show was fun, imo the first 3 episodes were the best because they felt the most satirical, it was just villains bigging themselves up and then getting BLAMMED by saitama, with humour along the way, which is how it should be.
