One Punch Man Episode 12 Discussion

namedrisk said:
Fact is, the anime was okish, 6~7/10 last episode blow down the ranking for sure.

It wasn't as amazing as I bet everyone was expecting it to be not counting the people who read the manga as they already knew what to expect from it. But for as a viewer of the anime alone I was expecting it to be way more epic than this.

Wtf? Everyone lives happily after ending, please give me a break.

Beside why I didnt get more tatsumaki? I lacked way too much tatsumaki please make a Tatsuamki One Physic or something, need moar tatsumaki!

And at last I leave you with a few words to reflect on:

"Hissatsu maji series: maji naguri"

Because it isn't over yet, the story continues through the manga and perhaps a 2nd season in the future

What part of it was underwhelming? SAITAMA GOT KICKED TO THE MOON COME ON.

pakkit said:


Rubbish, when do stakes in shounen anime ever amount to anything considering we know the good guys are always gonna win. Sure, you can even make them loose once in a while but they'll always come back and win later on.

The best part about the battles in OPM is the premise that the hero is the strongest person alive and builds on that in a way that is not cliched or repetitive.

Exactly why I excluded the manga readers from my comment.

Zeando said:

so negative, what if someone ends up agreeing with you and you can both talk about how much you liked/disliked this show?
or you're so sure 100% of any reply to anything you'll write will be a disagreement?

(got to go, have fun)

That&#039;s basic writing 101. The stakes doesn&#039;t necessairly mean the protagonist or main characters would actually die, but there should always be established fear of loss. Something to give the conflict meaning beyond &#039;&#039;hurr durr I&#039;m too OP&#039;&#039;.<br />
<br />
Main characters could lose something important to them, Major supporting characters could die. Some main character actually die. That&#039;s all forms of actual stakes in a conflict. But that&#039;s fundamentally absent from OPM, since to begin with the show is half assing whether it&#039;s serious or not, so it fundamentally lacks any stakes. The only stake I could see is Genos dying and that affecting Saitama because he developed a bond with him, etc, but that would probably never happen and will be used as a joke at one point in the series. There is nothing important or meaningful for Saitama to lose, he is apathetic about everything till the few moments when he thinks he has a worthy opponent.<br />
<br />
It&#039;s not like I actually care for stakes, especially in an anime like this. It has more prominent flaws than this. I was just responding to his notion that this is perfect for a battle manga but it lacks something essential.

too bad theres 0 tension at all times since its gary stu man we know how everything is going to end nice animation htough

Tylaen said:
Not with this particular series. Waste of time.

Tylaen said:
The best thing about anti-haters Is that they think that we somehow don't understand anything.

zushakon said:


lol, shitty taste in its essence!

Fucking awesome episode and series though, too bad most people don't have the proper sensibility to appreciate it, just like with fine scotch and wine. Fucking plebians.

Did Saitama slowed down when he was returning to earth?

Userman said:


i don't understand why there should be stack at all. He is fighting to save the earth and to be a hero. If even him can't defeat the enemy nobody could so i think he have a huge responsibility.If he loses everybody's gonna die

tsudecimo said:
Pretty disappointing fight. Show had the potential to have some substance, it chose not to. And went from mediocrity to being subpar. I did like Genos (for his voice actor if nothing else) nothing else is redeeming about the show. Grew to dislike Saitama by each passing episode. Awful humor, un-creative choreography, underwhelming experience in general. Show basically became a parody of itself after the early episodes, hypocritical in essence.

A shame that talented key animators and a good director were wasted on such bad writing.

4/10. I will pass, if a second season happens.

tsudecimo said:

I didn't say it wasn't. He said this was a perfect battle manga, I replied that it lacks an important aspect (implying that it wouldn't be perfect without it)

hayka said:

The fact that it was disappointing shows that you had a lot of expectation. can't be disappointed if you had no expectation in the first place. More so the higher the disappointment is.

Anyway, everyone has the right to their opinion but, majority counts and I do believe that you and any supporters you have is in the minority.

The adaptation was pretty spot on, they just skipped the special/extra chapters

Holy shit that fight was orgasmic! Loved every moment of it. Dat serious punch at the end was hype! Too bad we won't be getting a season 2 for at least another few years ;_;

Finally got to see what is under Amai mask's mask. It was interesting to see but fuck Amai mask.

Possible future set up for Metal Knight to be a villain? Interesting stuff.

Poor Genos got destroyed after all. Poor guy didn't stand a chance against Tornado! Which is too be expected.

Praying for season 2. Need to see the Garou arc fully animated and to see that Fubuki greatness!
