ONE did it again :).
The Opening is psychedelic and catchy,the animation is well executed and the style remembers me to Yuasa.
5/5 to me (until the moment) is the best first episode of this season.

Have to say this episode was pretty enjoyable; the unique visuals and animation are certainly pleasing to my eyes. Can't wait to see what this series has in store.

Edit: Also did anybody notice Saitama was on that guy's phone when he pointed it at the boss ghost in the tunnel?

Opening was amazing! That's for one.

The humour in the series is incredible good as well. !!SALT SPLASH!!!

Art style does not convince me at all though... too funky for my taste... thanks to this basic artstyle though the animation is amazing. Because of the art, the characters look funny from the get go so it's not the problem but the way monsters look like... I really don't know what the author was smoking while coming up with them.

Story, extremely simple. Well the first episode was introducing the characters so there wasn't much in general scheme of things.

All in all though, sadly I had great expectation for this show and because of them I am left somewhat disappointed. Still quite good anime though so next time knowing what awaits me I will enjoy it more.

Perfect, just... absolutely perfect adaption so far.

The art and animation is freaking breathtaking, the direction is impeccable, and the voice actors do an amazing job portraying the characters.

This easily without a doubt AOTS, and possibly contender for AOTY. The fact that this is getting 24 episodes just makes me even more exicted.

Great episode imo especially the animation and artstyle. either beautiful or crazy like Kill la Kill. maybe this one is more crazy than Kill la Kill which i really like a lot. moreover with the combination with the soundtrack, opening and ending song. it was match perfectly with this show imo. didn't bring anything big to the atmosphere. just a small scale with a cool stuff in the atmosphere but at the same time it feels freaking big sometimes. something like that.

imo, probably one of the best first episode of the season.
looking foward for the next episode.
and btw, 27% until mob explosion ?! now that is something that i'm very looking foward to when it hits 100%
well, we have already seen 100% mob in the intro, but anyway, i can't wait to see it.

I love Reign, love the animation in the OP, and Bones never fails when it comes to animation. Yet, the main reason I didn't like One Punch man all that much was that it didn't have a solid story/plot to go off of. I'm worried this will suffer from that too.

The characters all look objectively awful (the fact they're "supposed to" doesn't excuse the fact they still look bad), but the style of the show itself is pretty good. The fact that ONE's art style is 3rd grade level will really let Bones go nuts with the animation since the art itself is so simple so that's a big plus.

Don't like Reigen that much. He has a few comedic moments but overall the whole "Oh shit I can't let anyone find out I'm a fake" gimmick will get old really quickly I can already tell. Mob is a pretty interesting little dude. Hopefully the sub-plot with his attempts at romance with that girl from school will get their due focus.

Soundtrack is meh at best. I really liked the OP but the background music used was below average at best. Bones usually nails the OSTs for their shows (most notably with BnHA recently), but this was a big disappointment in that regard.

3/5 so far but it definitely looks like it will be a fun watch moving forward.

Woah, this was much better than I expected it to be

Maybe this'll even end up being my favorite anime of the season

Not to mention that the cinematography is 11/10

The characters are just bunch of Saitama clones with bad haircut
Reigen is already pissing me off, I know he's supposed to be here for comedic reason, but come on, he's ruining the fun for me (maybe his character will become better later on, manga fans don't yell at me)
Well it's not a bad show though


If you haven't realized yet, Mob means side character and the real protagonist is Reigen. The narrator saying Mob is the protagonist is a joke.


Oh God that sounds even worse for me
But I'm not here to ruin the fun to anyone, enjoy this anime and thanks for educating me

Well, Mob's still the protagonist. The story revolves around him and his point of view. But Reigen is the deuteragonist of the series.

What exactly were you expecting? MAybe I can help you out

I don't know if Mob is going to change but he is just a boring version of Saitama for now and I hate the con man. The artstyle is the only thing I really like. Also, are they going to fight ghost every week?

Mob's more than just a clone of Saitama. Yeah, Reigen doesn't change too much, but he's not that big of an asshole as this episode made him look like. No, they're not going to fight ghosts every week; it's not a monster-of-the-week show.

We're not going to hit the 100% until episode three guys. The first two episodes are just going to be setting up characters, and the it really starts to pick up.

Animation kind of reminds me of Osomatsu-san's animation. A lot of scenes with dynamic animation. A lot of flashing too. I liked One Punch Man, so I knew I'd like this too. I hope it's 2-cour.

Not much to complain about other than the OP (I dislike it personally so, its the song, the visuals are magnificent to look at)

Comedy was on point and as such.
Music as well. Might as well love the trip here.
