Tlahuizcapante said: ur forgetting the hype coming from ppl who will gobble up anything madhouse relatedIt been called numerous times that all hype comes from the manga readers. Second season of Haikyuu is on the 15 place. You can now say - It is a second season, so it is understandable. And OPM is on top 50. And this called high for a new series. And why is such popularity? Like i mentioned before - all hype comes from the manga readers (especially, Murata's version). If you read his version - it is a anime in the manga form. Because of that, anime is close to a second season form. Some new moments is a nice fanservice, but, basically manga is just like a full script for a anime. |
White_Hawk2099 said: Kruzy said: Yes but the same can be said about the majority of shows on MAL so it doesn't mean much. Nevertheless it's still the best non-sequel show this year. it won't get a sequel?! Probably it will. Depends on the sells, but it will take a while cause of the lack of source material for now. About the score, I see it with 76.6/100 on anilist. Since that site takes the scores more seriously than mal, for 3 episodes of a non-sequel, it's pretty nice |
moodie said: what i dont understand is ppl recently have used the argument that overpowered MCs are boring, bad, not well written. examples are in mahouka threads. more specifically its a criticism used in harem battle type anime with overpowered mcs. but when u have something like opm it gets praised as something spectacular. The difference is pretty simple actually. Saitama is OP, but he doesn't have a sister who wants his dick... |
| 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... |

| At this point "overrated" doesn't even mean what they mean anymore, because everything that gets attention gets labeled as such. |
| No it's something that's actually good in 2015 it's a miracle, I haven't seen new gundam or Gintama but they are my only other hopes for a good anime this year. |

Raycee said: it seems like ppl are going behind this defensive mechanism and using that argument u just said as a cop out.At this point "overrated" doesn't even mean what they mean anymore, because everything that gets attention gets labeled as such. what overrated really means is that it is rated higher than it should be at based on the quality of said anime. ppl are labeling it overrated not because of its popularity but because the score is getting doesnt reflect what it should really be at. its a good anime but ppl cant explain why after they go over how well its animated. once they stop there u begin to realize that, that is the only argument they got. if someone can explain why its accurately rated so highly than u can begin to say that its not overrated. but there are more evidence leading to an inflated score rather than the latter. ppl for the most part think the anime is good....but is it 8.5+ good? when other anime out there are actually similar or better in a sense? overrated does mean something and even ppl that love this anime can tell u its overrated AT THIS MOMENT, because the REAL good part is yet to arrive. |

You're comparing apples with oranges. It's like complaining about ecchi in non-ecchi shows but liking in ecchi harems or to complain about the lack of story in an action show but not minding it in a slice of life show. Also there are differences in how these OP characters are introduced and used. In Mahouka it's more about Onii-sama circlejerking while in OPM it's Saitama's struggle with the lack of excitement from battles. The OP characters in harem light novels also tend to have very little personality too. |
 |
| Simple answer is. NO. OPM goes against many of the cliche's, and is a fresh and unique new series in a time where its originality is greatly needed. It is a genius show and people love it. |
 |
| "Hey look an anime is more popular than usual, it's probably not that good" How do you even determine is something is overrated anyway? Like just fucking watch the show and see for yourself. |
Tokoya said: adapatations are not supposed to be carbon copies of source materials and until the anime community in general can accept that and judge an anime based on what it presents and how they handle every episode, these threads will continue to be filled with hate posts by purists |
| Anything people like is always "overrated". "It's not bad, but definitely overrated~". Must not be overrated if everyone seems to think it's not bad. And if you say it's bad, you're just trying to prove something, because the appeal is obvious, even if it's not your thing. |

Kruzy said: Zefyris said: It's currently overrated for a very simple reason. There is no valid reason to rank # 44 an anime when only 25% of it has been aired. After 3 episodes, that's just plain ridiculous. it may deserve or not this place after being finished airing, but currently, it doesn't. Meanwhile the currently airing Gintama is on rank 4 and Haikyuu!! S2 is on rank 15. It's a flaw with MAL's system and not just OPM. I never said it was OPM alone though. And I'm not thinking that either. MAL shouldn't allow shows with a finite number of episode registered to be ranked before it finishes airing. |

| I'm personally offended by this thread. I really hope those people that said that OPM is overrated are trolling. Kill anime elitism. |
 |
| Hmm... I wouldn't say it's overrated. I'd say it's should be around 8.5 below but 8.00 above. Probably the most overhyped but certainly not overrated. As for story, I just imagine this anime as a comedy anime that have nonsensical stuffs like the harem anime I watched. So OPM is really good. |
 |
| There's no such thing as overrated/underrated. Whatever rank it is, it's their for a reason because many people supported it to be high up. |
 |
| yes it is it's just a story about a guy who beats bad guys with only 1 punch, wow so exciting !!!111 it's suppose to be funny but it isn't and the main character looks stupid, it's almost as if he is drawn by a 10 years old. |

| Deserves? That's personal taste. I like it and think it's one of the best animes I say it deserves. I dislike it and think it's overrated I say it doesn't. If there would be any objective data like facts that X thing doesn't deserve something, then there would be no point in this thread and we would expect you would analize it yourself, but since it's something that totally depends on personal taste, then it will be pointless because nothing is to be concluded of this thread. This is only for the NEET anime fans to feel some satisfaction on giving their opinion about something that they will feel will have mattered when in reality it didn't :v TLDR; Useless thread. |
| Overrated or not, that's something that goes into every person's opinion. I personally think it's not. Deserves the good comments and reviews from people. Lives up to its hype. |
 |
| What is the point of asking the same question to the same group of people ? If it's "overrated" by the people who like the anime, the same people will answer to your topic, this means the topic itself is vain. I still dont get why any other rating than your personal enjoyment matter. And how we can debate about such a subjective and personnal thing. |
| People just use the word "overrated" like taking candy from a baby. One Punch Man is good enough from what I have watched, and that's all that matters. From my own standpoint anyways, almost everything gets more attention than it deserves, so creating a thread to ask about whether one punch man is overrated or not is useless, since people won't care about others' opinion. It's that simple. |

I'm pretty The b hero chapter will be in the anime, there is scene in the trailer with Oh yeah, I think you had already mentioned that. Anyways, a bit off topic, but I just noticed OPM has more than 100k members already here on MAL. Excluding sequels, I think this might be some record. Hopefully this success is mirrored where it matters... |

| Anyone calling this Anime mediocre but praising fanservice series with nothing but regurgitated bit asses and bit tits like Shokugeki no Souma, Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul (not fanservice-y but one of the most predictable and shittiest goth-themed series ever which is not not overrated but overhyped by its annoying fanbase) and the like have absolutely no taste. |

Note to yourself. Never try to get your point across while insulting other people tastes cuase that's really the worse you can do here, so keep it to yourself If people think OPM is mediocre, they still have a bunch of weeks to change their minds, and when they do you can just say "I fucking told you!", instead of bashing other popular shows |
| Lol @ anyone who think that anime series with ass and tits are automatically bad. That's just pure bias. Same goes for the harem genre, OP Gary Stu protagonist, and blablabla.. "Look, I like this anime without ass, tits, harem, or Gary Stu protagonist, am I special enough?" Maybe you are, here's a cookie tho. I haven't watch the anime yet, but I've seen a bit of spoiler on youtube and it's well animated enough, so at least I'll give it that. I've read a bit of the manga, like up to chapter 30 or so, and imo it was pretty okay, not like it's really bad, but it's nothing special either, nothing really makes me want to continue reading on, except for maybe Murata's art and his panel to panel moving animation. Whether or not this series is overrated, honestly, not just for this series alone, but for all the other seasonal anime as well, I'd wish that not every season we get an anime that would so easily get into top 100 ranking, it makes the list so freakin' cheap it's probably not worth looking into. That said anime might be great, but is it worth remembering for the years to come? I don't know.. I just don't like seeing my favorite anime series being pushed further down the list for some new "overhyped" anime series that will be forgotten in about, say, 5 years. Also, I've read through all 3 pages, and I've seen people who say that the anime hasn't gotten to the real great shit yet, so why the hell are you guys saying that it's not overrated? I mean, you guys did say that it hasn't gotten to the awesome part yet, right? It doesn't make sense to say that "it's not overrated because the future content will be great".. Well that said, I hope the anime could make me like this series more than the manga does. P.S. Oh by the way, there was someone who mention that OPM goes against many cliches, and I just wanna say that.. it's a parody, bruh, it's supposed to make fun of the cliches.. so.. |

| You know I don't know how you can decide whether something is overrated or not after only 4 episodes but if it is to you then yeah. Opinions are a suprising thing people. |
 As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T People of anime have whooped, roasted, beaten, and tamed my ass. I have learned my ways and will never speak that horrible word. But, believe me, MY DAY OF VENGEANCE SHALL COME(please dont take this seriously, just "trying" to be funny lol |
| I quite liked the manga (i've read both versions) and the anime so far is enjoyable for me so I don't think its all that overrated. |
| Come on man, at least wait after the show has ended. Some people just can't contain themselves. |
| sic mundus |
| Not really in my opinion. Its got a 8.70 average as of the time of me writing this comment. I'd personally rate it 8/10 so far (I'm caught up with the manga too). I really enjoy the humor of the series , various wacky personalities of villains and heroes, awesome action and artwork. It's not a series I take very seriously or over analyze, on the pure enjoyment spectrum it's consistently entertaining to me. Just something to keep in mind, any time someone is throwing around the term "overrated" you have to keep in mind that opinions on anime are subjective. Just because most people like an anime doesn't mean you will like it too. For example I didn't like Stein's Gate anywhere near as much as most people did.. and its ranked #2 on MAL |
 |
| I heard it was pretty hyped which is the only reason I'm watching it. I had low expectations myself, isn't really my type of thing. Loving it so far though. Gotta be doing something right. |
| for anime, i think it's already fit place for now. so it's not overrated IMHO. but i find manga overrated TBH. it's not faithful adaptation of web-manga. need more "parody" atmosphare to fit those ranks, but fail at it. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| maybe people thought its premise was different and refreshing and decided to give it a try... i got interested and i'm enjoying OPM a lot! idk, maybe not everything that gets many people's attention are overrated afterall. |
 |
| It is. It's still highly enjoyable though, so i can see why a lot of people really like. |
