Going by MAL stats it is.

It also has higher stats than either SnK or SAO had at this stage in their airing, but it is important to note that airing series on the whole get significantly more viewers on MAL now than they did back then.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

wow can't believe how much more popular anime became in these last 3 years

for those curious, SnK had just 62k members at episode 5, while OPM has 120k, according to http://anime.daanst.net/anime/show/16498

But this "series" is essentially written by a hero for hobby mangaka for hobby (ONE) who garnered lots of attention, until one day ONE met one of the strongest Cyborgs one of the best manga artists (Murata, who did Eyeshield 21) and then together they joined the hero association a JUMP online magazine and worked together to beat monsters create the redraw version of the webcomic.

What other "comedy series" has such an interesting background story to it? It's, like I have read it before somewhere... maybe it's just my imagination...

If its manga gets published faster with the same quality, then it will be. For the anime, i doubt it, because its comedy elements can die out very fast once people are so used to it. And in general, popular comedy series(Gintama) are less popular than popular serious series like AOT, One Piece. So NOPE.

There's actually a pretty good way for them to stall for time for a season 2. They could adapt Mob Psycho 100 and play up the connection to OPM(so people would give it a chance), this would give OPM enough time to build up chapters. Since MP100 Is nearly as long, they could actually just keep alternating assuming they did one season a year.

One Punch Man will not surpass AOT and SAO in popularity. I mean it's popular but being a gag manga it won't be able to garner mass appeal like AOT and SAO.

Also it depends on what place you're talking about because in Japan fuck no it won't be able to surpass them. Plus the chapter releases for OPM are really slow so that will drag down its ability to get mass appeal.

One piece man is mediocre. Both AoT and SAO are better and I'm sure the majority agrees, hence they will continue being more popular. Well, maybe not SAO, they're pretty equal tbh fam. SAO > OPM, but SAO s2 = OPM.

While it's indeed one of the more popular show this season, i guess it's still nowhere near AoT or SAO kind of popularity.. but let's see until the anime finish to judge it..

Are you kidding - OPM only gets worse as it goes on. The more serious it becomes the less interesting it is as it constantly drifts towards generic shounen with occasional comedy, honestly I find the current arc boring as fuck. Saitama is barely in it and the manga is kinda flat beyond him...it's supposed to be a comedy. Don't get me wrong it has some great little arcs, the water guy one and another one which I can't really describe are fun...but that's it.

The comedy is not good enough for it to be a classic comedy and the action is too...meh I guess, for it to be a classic action. Plus the characters are all dull af really, they exists to make jokes. It hasn't got enough in it to be a classic anime, I highly doubt it'll beat something like SAO or AoT - in fact I can guarantee you it will never beat AoT.

I mean whilst I enjoy the anime I still think it somewhat dulls the jokes in the series, the animation is why it's worth watching. If you want to be super successful you either need to have massive appeal or have an interesting world/characters. OPM has neither of those, it's just a funny little series with a great artist which is being dragged between action and comedy so it ends up kind of failing to 100% both.

AoT has quite a lot going for it, with those spin-offs, merch and western popularity.
SAO doesn't even deserve to be compared to AoT or One Punch man. Hopefully OP man reaches somewhere near AoT but that's about as much as I can expect from it. Great show though.

Just don't go into any series expecting it to be the greatest anime ever, because most of the time, that won't be the case. You should've known that from your experience with aot.

This show does have a little bit of everything. Simple design to great detail, amazing animation and camera angle/technique, comedy, serious tones, amazing battle sequences and even daily struggle that anyone can relate to. Plus there is Genos and his obsession with Saitama for the fan girls and yaoi lovers (even if his obsession isn't romantic, we can dream). I was very impressed by this show. I started watching it just to get a few laughs between my other shows, but I really fell for it. My husband is also hooked and wants to do one punch man cosplay next year at megacon. He's buff and already shaves his head so it's perfect lol.

Well, many people in Tumblr say that Akame ga Kill is the best anime ever.
If I can give you an advice, don't jump to conclusions to any anime before watching it first, whether in the negative or the positive.
