One Punch Man Blu-Rays Have English Subtitles

Sorry, but I don't want Ingrish subtitles from a google translator.

What makes you think that is what is on the Blu-Rays? Have you bought a Blu-Ray copy and watched it?

The translations seemed fairly professional.

And you know that because you are fluent in Japanese, right?

I received the first “One Punch Man” Japanese Blu-Ray today; Bandai Visual Emotion #BCXA-1038. The Blu-Ray contains the first two episodes, an OAV, and a bunch of previews and commentaries. There is also a CD that contains a “mini-drama” along various voice actor bits, and a 12 page colour booklet.

What totally surprised me is that there is an option to turn on English Subtitles on the episodes and the OAV! (There is also an option to turn on Japanese subtitles, which is almost as rare as finding English subtitles on Japanese Blu-rays.)

The visual quality of the episodes is spectacular. I'm not bothering to go back to find the original broadcast versions, but I kept on feeling that I was seeing more details in the episodes, particularly during the various fights.

The OAV is a tiny bit of a step down in visual quality, but it is essentially an extended shaggy-dog story set just before Genos joins Saitama so that doesn't matter much.

There are tons of odds and ends features on the discs that I'll have to go through more carefully – for example there are live action hand puppets of Saitama and Genos that introduce the voice actors. And the ending to the OAV has to been seen to be believed – the voice actor for Saitama sings one of those typical Japanese Summer Festival songs.

All-in-all, the first Blu-ray is definitely worth every Yen I spent on it. (And even more so because I got it at around a 30% discount from Amazon Japan.)

So with the English subtitles you've got no excuse now – go order the Blu-rays. The more of us who buy them the better the chance that we will see more of this series animated.

Thankyou, the industry need more people like you and more Blu-Ray with english subtitle. the japs should know that with proper subtitle and marketing, they could get more money from overseas import. From what i heard, it seems like right now, even with all the licensing and stuff, they could only get small pennies from overseas.

Unlikely that the majority would spend the ridiculous amount of money they charge for anime. Especially when they can wait and the us version will be a fraction of the price.
