| Hard to say whether it is overrated, or not. There's only 4 episodes out and so far so good. I didn't quite enjoy the fourth one as much as I did the first three episodes, but still, it is quite entertaining and worthwhile. I wouldn't give it a 10, hell, not an 8, but a solid 7/10 would be just right for what I've seen so far. It's not a comedy that I cry laughing like when I watch Gintama, but it has its moments and that's what counts. People are making alot of noise about this particular anime, but I don't think it's THAT great. It's really good though. I've recommended this to my friend. |

First 4 episodes were episodic but now on there is going to be some progression in story. Sadly as one-punch man is going to have only 12 episodes so it is going to miss best arc it has. Probably going to be on 2nd season if one-punch man gets one. |
| I don't think it was "episodic" Episode 2 and 3 were directly connected. And the end of 4 is also directly connected to the 5. |

| Yes. Yes it is. keragamming said: 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. Finally somebody said it. I am honestly baffled as to how this has almost a 9 four episodes in. That shit is a disgrace to shows like Ergo Proxy and Shinsekai yori who actually earned their 8+ scores. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

The show is only 4 episodes in which we've been getting character introductions, some backstory and a little bit of world building. Next episode seems like it'll make some progress in the story. As for the comedy it's obviously subjective since the majority enjoy it and only a few dislike it. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I wouldn't call it overrated. Let's just say it cater to western audience taste |
| Give it some time, like anything popular and new you will have people who pick any tiny detail to shit in it and how this thing it's overrated compared with other stuff that "deserves" the score more. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

This is kind of funny, because when people make such comparisons about what shows deserves something and what shows don't, I myself actually like both of the ones mentioned equally and I usually like them for different reasons. It just re-affirms my opinion that a lot of people hate a show for one of the following reasons: 1. It's a genre they generally dislike, which, for them, seems to be a reason why the show is "overrated", i.e. for some people OPM is bad just because it has comedic elements and because it's not constantly dark, serious and edgy 2. People have their "one and only" series of that genre and don't want another one "taking the spotlight" of their favorite series 3. A certain type of "hipsters" sees a popular show... and deem it bad because it's popular Of course there are still the ones who dislike it because they simply... don't like it, but those people usually state it like that so that is not really a mystery to solve. |

Ergo Proxy and Shinsekai yori are boring Unlike those shows, OPM is entertaining to watch just like Kill la Kill |
| Overated or not....its only depend on people own opinion....so just dealt with it, for example i really love gintama and some people think its overated but its just their OWN opinion and i dont care at all cuz my own opinion is my own opinion and i think gintama is not overated...maybe because some people don't understand the joke but i do...other anime example is Clannad, people love that anime but i don't cuz it felt ihat anime is too slow for me..still my own opinion...It's depends on a person had other person but be sure to respect their opinion and DON'T be such an anime elitist where a person think that their think their number one favorite anime is a most amazing and other person that otherwise need to f*ck off their mind and their opinion is wrong!!...don't be like that..respect other people opinion....overall to me there are No such thing as overated anime because it's only depend on a person mind and likeness. |
| what OPM does is take points away from the story and invests them in characters and over the top action |
stand said: Gintama and HQ!! are the best animes in the past 20 yrs Are you the guy who's been creating MAL accounts to give Gintama a 10 over and over to bump it up? I've noticed a steady rise across the board for all seasons of Gintama which, when you're already rated above a 9 is incredibly difficult to manage without some shennanigans. Also a significant decline in the anime that were above Gintama in Clannad and HxH. Especially Clannad, which happened to take a nosedive at the same time that every single Gintama season started skyrocketing. |
| no, if you read the manga, it deserves it . the art in the manga is amazing. animation for anime is amazing. |
| If by overrated you mean SAO, then nope |
| I like one punch man simple story that can offer whole lot action |
 |
| I initially thought it was overrated. I'm now at episode 5 and I think OPM is great for what it is and ought to be. |
| Honestly I think the anime is .Same for owarimonogatari .The manga isn't though . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| it is overrated in terms of the plot and characters. but i still think it's a great action comedy series, but definitely not on the levels of other great shows like gurren lagann, kill la kill and cowboy bebop. |
| Yes it is, but who cares anyway people have their opinion, if the majority like it let it be. |
| After 5 episodes, It still Is In my opinion. It's best asset Is the animation and nothing else comes close In quality. |

I'm pretty sure Gintama fans wouldn't really care about a series being above it. If anything it would be fans of other shows who hate Gintama because of its high rating and making alts to give it a shit rating. I remember a lot of Brotherhood fans were pissed off when Gintama was rank #1 xD |

| The Tick > One Punch Man It's entertaining and quite funny at times, but so far it hasn't been anything more than a 7 for me. |
| I don't see the point in the fights. It's ok to not take itself too seriously like Jojo, but in a comedy like OPM the fights simply lack tension. |
nowa_ said: I don't see the point in the fights. It's ok to not take itself too seriously like Jojo, but in a comedy like OPM the fights simply lack tension. OPM isn't pure comedy, so the fights have merit. Everyone knows the MC wins but it's still action. Mindless entertainment but still action. Even if you don't think the fights add anything, it doesn't change the fact that it's still an action-comedy. Fights are important for an action show as are gags for a comedy. As hatsumira said, the non-Saitama battles will be of more interest and have more variety. In ten words or less: OPM is an action-comedy. Fights are a given. Relating to the topic, I am cautious of people who use popularity as a reason to score a show that hasn't finished airing. "Overrated" and "underrated" are buzzwords that don't mean anything. They're empty. Hype should not be a basis for judging a series. For the case of OPM, having literally no expectations is ideal. |

| I wish someone in our incompetent governments would ban the word 'overrated' to the ninth circle of hell. Hype does not define the show's worth. "Not worth the hype" or "Worth the hype" are all disgusting phrases. When will people learn to like an anime for what it is.... |

Well, "overrated" is a subtle way of saying "the majority has shit taste/invalid opinions, only mine is correct!" |
|
| It's a good show I guess, but indeed overhyped. The way people were talking I expected some sort of Hunter X Hunter or FMAB level shit, but it's not really anything special. It just has the unique setting of unstoppable character's point of view. In a way it's nice to have a different taste and having a story where the main character isn't an underdog, but at the same time people still acted like it would be god's gift to anime. |

| I think it's pretty good, and I like how they are making the episodes. But I do think it's too early to put a final rate/thoughts about the series, I prefer to wait until the end of it, get the conclusions and a final rate of it. Before I thought (for example) Shingeki no Kyojin was pretty good, in the end of it I didn't think it was that good. I'd like to talk about the manga, but first it needs to shown up in the anime before that, and we don't even know how much they'll make or how many episodes (they can say 12, but later they can say more than that, like with HXH when they said they'd make it with 60+ episodes and we all know how it ended). My opinion is, OPM until now, it's good. Overhyped: yes, overrated? That depends too much in people's opinion and taste. Many things might change when the other characters appear, like Fubuki and Tatsumaki. |

| No, it's pure unadulterated fun. |
 |
| It's funny though. I thought overrated means "something popular that someone doesn't like because it doesn't suit his/her taste or he/she just doesn't like it because it's popular". |

I'm sorry, did you just put gureen lagann and kill la kill in the same level as "cowboy bebop"? You.. you just don't do that man, it's heresy :/ I mean, Kill la Kill was pretty good guys. On Topic: yes, I do think the One Punch Man Anime is overrated. The manga and web comic deserve their love, but the anime is only 5 episodes in and is treated as the anime of the season/year etc. While I think it is a great show, it's only 7/10 for me so far, and is getting way to much praise for things. Also Saitama vs x character bullshit arguments. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Why the hell people care if something is overrated or not? |
 |
| I do think so, I don't find this series to be very humoristic. And it's got an 8.77 now jesus christ, ranked #30 :p |
