its doing a great job especially on the animation side for a suppose to be action series with comedy in it

if you do not like action anime then you will hate One Punch Man but if you like seeing eye candy action then you will love One Punch Man

so to me it deserves it praise from all the action fans

how about your OP do you think its overrated?

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.

Not even the best non-sequel show this season, it does get better but not for much (I read the manga), people are just surprised by the animation. I mean, I like it but it is not thaaaaat good.

idk barely 3 eps in, but considering it's only 12 eps it should start getting better soon. If you don't like the comedy than you're pretty much screwed, cause the action sequences we've seen so far are limited to the villian beating up on weaker people until saitama comes in, but atleast they're really well done.
Genos is kind of cool though.
It'd help if people stopped viewing it as a shonen-like series.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

I disagree with this, the way you look at it was pretty one dimmensional. You're basically saying if one likes action anime then they will like this. Not true. I and I've seen many as well in the one punch man anime discussion forum. Admit that the action scenes and ost is good. But the series overall lack substance, and that kills the entertainment factor, even if the action scenes and ost looks great. The story isn't interesting an the comedy is stale. What left is the action.

The series story is nothing special, the comedy sucks. What that left us with is basically only the action and ost. Its like taking away the meat from the chicken leg, and leaving us with only the bone to chew on. That's one punch man for me. So yes, its highly overrated for me, but not a bad show.

And what type of "substance" are you expecting from a parody anime?

The story also hasn't even started yet. These 3 past episodes were only an introduction for the characters and the type of world that Saitama lives in. The 4th episode will adapt the Paradise Group chapters and introduce the second to last important character for this anime.
It's after this that it'll get more serious with the Heroes Association arc and even then it doesn't even compare to the currently ongoing arc in the manga.
OPM, unlike most shows this season, is actually spending some time to properly introduce through showing what they're like instead of spending 5 minutes at the beginning of the first episode to infodump on who the characters are before sending them straight into the story. After all this show lives or dies depending on how much you like the characters.

As for the comedy, I can't even see how it could be considered stale since it's not repetitive at all. Heck the idea of the show is pretty original, coupled with the at times random and unforeseeable comedy scenes makes it anything but stale.

Like people said, it's way too soon to say anything about the show since the best parts have yet to come.

Redline did not have much story but it focuses on high quality visuals/animation and people like it, same is true with One Punch Man, it may not have a unforgettable story but it focuses on action or battles because that is what it does even in the manga, and you have to give praise to that

it maybe one dimensional to you but One Punch Man never had a plot twist or unusual story telling besides the exciting action it brings, and from an action show it delivers well, you may call it mindless action but you may find the story interesting too in later episodes

Yeah its score is inflated by its massive fan base at the moment. Nearly an 8.70 with only 3 episodes in, lol. Its been quite good so far but that is a tad over rated.

If it continues like this there will probably be back lash like there was for AoT and NGNL.

I think both of you are right, it's too soon.
The only thing I know is the "weight "of its richness is originated by secondary characters. The MC is pretty inactive...he is driven by the plot. I hope it change in a near future.

@"Kruzy and ios" The main thing about OPM its the comedy and I'm so far not enjoying it, there's some parts here and there that made me chuckled a bit, but overall I found it to be stale. The latest episode was also the worst episode so far for this series.

I'm not looking for some great story or anything. But at least give me something, since the comedy part isn't doing it for me. But since Kruzy said the story hasn't even started yet, and will supposedly get "better" then some hope is still left for this series.

You both said it will get more interesting in later episode, so I'll sit back and see what happens. Who knows, I'll maybe even become a big fan of the series when the series ends. But for now, with these 3 episodes currently release. Hell no. I don't think anything is wrong in speaking out on what I think of the series so far, just like how a lot of people are praising the first 3 episodes so far.

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.

It had about an hour of airtime, which isn't exactly nothing and more importantly so far it's been very formulaic, almost following a monster of the week approach. If it's possible to rate shorts which last less, I'd say it's fair to rate OPM as well.
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...

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.

That's your opinions and others think the same.
Me I think it deserved it and others think the same, it's why it have a good ranking.
MAL ask how many episode, we have seen, and we rank the episode we have seen.

It's not about whether it deserves the score or not. It's that airing anime shouldn't be allowed in the "Top Anime" list.
I also think that OPM deserves the rating far more than most series in the top 100 but that is irrelevant.
It's fine to rate anime that is still ongoing, I do it myself but they should only be listed in the "Top Airing" category.

Since OPM is considered "popular" and people who think it is overrated generally dislike it, while people who do not think it is overrated generally like it, this thread is really nothing more than asking "are you (the vocal people) liking it or not?"

True that but way too many people get bothered by them and there's really no need for airing anime with only a couple episodes to be in the top list.
Pretty similar to the shit that happened when MAL allowed anime that didn't air yet on the top list.

Ah, the good ol "overrated" thread. Created, removed and here it is again
People who love it will say yes, people who don't like it very much will say no and I will say, who the fuck cares.
Let's just go to the point. Nothing is overrated! If a show have an mean score, being high or low, it means the big majority of people love it or hate it respectively, so, no matter your opinion as an individual, a show is never underrated or overrated. It's all the majority opinions
There are shows I simply don't like on the top anime list on mal, however I never even once called any of them overrated. It's just not of my liking
Let me just enjoy the show, goddamit xD

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.

It 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.
