How do I get my friend to watch OPM? I feel like he's missing out on a great anime for a reason that doesn't make much sense considering the animation quality in OPM is great.

If he doesn't want to watch it then he doesn't want to watch it, trying to force it on him won't do anything and will more than likely make him hate it. He's probably just finding an excuse not to watch it due to hype backlash or something, which is not solved by shilling it more.

Your best bet to force your hand is to maybe do something like get him to watch mob psycho, and if he likes it enough inform him of how one punch man is by the same person.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I could maybe understand Mob Psycho, but OPM has good animation. He's probably just making excuses.

well if he doesn't want to watch it for that reason just show him Berserk 2016 and Aku no Hana and see if that could make OPM seem any better to him

tie him up

or smoke a blunt together and just turn it on, people usually resist less when stoned

Whatever, if he doesn't want to watch then don't force it onto him.

While technically the animation is very good not everyone will necessarily find it appealing. I wasn't impressed by OPM's animation either while something less acclaimed like Mononoke was way better animation-wise for me (not only the artstyle).

well don't force him then, let his curiosity do the work, that's what happen to me at least. When the first episode of One Punch Man released i didn't have any interest in this anime at all, but after 4/5 months after it end i didn't have anything to watch so i just like "ok fck this, i'm gonna TRY to watch the first episode" and surprise surprise i love every episodes of it.

Nothing wrong with that. Lots of people including myself avoid old anime because not use to old animation/visual. World doesn't revolve around you so you can't force everyone to watch it.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

OPM isn't that special to warrant getting over the art style if he finds it ugly. It's kind of funny, but it's more like One Joke Man.

I can understand that, since I also have anime shows I don't watch because the art/animation looks weird. Though I don't see why OPM would be a no-go, except for some of the fighting scenes maybe.

I want to say that your friend simply isn't ready to. Not OPM specifically - but my appreciation and acceptance for various styles of animation in anime grew, not just in time - but through conditioned acceptance of visual tastes through - consuming more anime. There are anime I've seen in the last two years that I would have absolutely hated 10 years ago simply because my "visual pallete" hadn't evolved enough to appreciate or even accept outliers in style. I don't think you can force that sort of thing.

Further - I would have actually ruined some of the best anime for myself if I watched it any earlier than I wanted to, and this had nothing to do with visual style - it had to do with learning the language of anime and getting accustomed to it.

Argument for OPM being/not being a deconstruction of shonen shows aside - it is at the very least a parody commentary on the anime super hero genre. You should never recommend OPM to someone as a first "super hero" piece of media (it can work as a first anime if that person was into comics/comicbook superhero shows movies though as the parody commentary translates well enough outside of the specific medium) the same way NGE should never be recommended as someone's first Anime - A ton of contextual value is absolutely lost.

Now, if he is of the mindset that even an anime's visual style is enough of a roadblock then I'd leave him be. I don't begrudge him his position, I've been there myself in the past, but "he's simply not ready." Now - if it was an objection like "I don't want to watch it because it's just another super hero...." - I'd probably go a clockwork orange on him.

Well either he's retarded and has no clue about animation or he's making excuses. The animation is the best thing (some might say the only really good thing) about OPM.
I probably regret this post by now.

Out of curiosity, what does he call "animation"? Because lots of "anime-fans" have weird definitions of this word.

Your friends needs a new glasses. OPM has a good animation, though, but I wouldn't say it's a great show. It's hilarious, yes, but not great.

You know he's lying to you if he still watch anime made by TOEI, like DB super/One Piece. Just check his watchlist.

If it's full with KyoAni's/Ufotable's or other good studio then forget it, he's honest + have high animation quality 'standard'

Well, I have to agree with your friend... The animation isn't the best. Nonetheless, I personally believe she isn't missing on much. 😂 But if it does suit his/her taste, just mention another not-so-well animated anime that is very good and he/she have already watched and ended up liking it. (In my case it would be Ajin)
