Before you say anything, remember that i don't shill anything. I just asj for your prediction. The animation and OST are top-tier, and i have seen a lot of people agree. About the pacing issue, i think they can skip most of the stuffs in manhwa but still make a good anime. So, i think there's chance it will blow up as much as OPM did.

"One Punch Man" has the advantage of being iconic and self-explanatory as a title in and of itself (as well as being offering the more parodic angle and everything else)

strictly answered, I will predict no

but will it be popular? idk probably

You can't force something to be a trend, OPM already famous since ONE's era and Murataka artworks take it to the next level. The studio is MADHOUSE and the staff they hired are all the giants in the industry. So thats that

Tbh, the reason why this show even popular is because of the nostalgia, I don't even have a clue wtf is going on with the webtoon right now. And I still don understand why the hell he even nerf Jun, god it ruins the webtoon for me

Wow it's actually the exact reverse. OPM season 1 had action and animation & nothing else. Plot was non existent in OPM S1. But God of high school will have much more to offer than just action and animation.

m8 one punch man is one of the most popular shows of the last decade, and arguably of the entire anime sphere as a whole, god of highschool has some elements working in its favor, but it is very unlikely for it to be anything more than flavor of the week, if you really love it that's cool, and i somewhat liked what i've seen so far, but it will probably almost be forgotten by this time next year.

OPM has better plot compared to this, GOH just goes downhill after the first 2-3 arcs if iirc, that's why I dropped it. There are definitely better Manhwa than this out there, for Instance Tower of God.

I’m not the biggest fan of OPM (or this series for matter fact), but there is no way this will become as popular and successful as that series...

First, OPM has a distinctive (and more memorable) set of characters (designs) than this series. You can’t really compare Mo-Ri Jin with Saitama in terms of memorability as MCs goes. And second, OPM's setting and plot are a bit more interesting, especially later on.

it also depends of the state of the season they're currently in. If the season lacks some serious competition, the chances of the anime becoming trending increases.

but even that can have no relevance. One Punch Man had some big serious competition when it aired in 2015 and carved his place without problems.


right now I think GoH has one big rival that is starting to take the eyes from him and it's Re:Zero.

yesterday the opening was released and the hype rised to crazy levels, Re:Zero seems to be going all in this season.

there's also that SAO season (I will never understand the popularity of that anime), Fire force and maybe Souma.

I fear this would impact GoH popularity and that saddens me, because I love GoH.

at least OPM is not rushed.
and that's one of the reasons god of high school "ANIME" won't blow up. source material may be great ( i didn't read it ) but anime won't be that great. you can already tell it after watching 2 episodes.

and action & animation wasn't the ONLY reason OPM blew up. OPM has an awesome & very UNIQUE main character. + there's more reasons but i'm not gonna mention them all.

& in GOH main character is little bit cliche. I am not saying he's a bad character but people won't connect to him like Saitama. & GOH will be popular but not as much as OPM. I agree action and animation is superb & I'm watching it for that. & there are also few other reasons which makes this anime not so great.

Nah the difference is that other than cool fights OPM was universally funny while God is painfully unfunny with over-the-top humor that only asians and w-people would ever laugh at.
It's funny because if the author is korean he's pretty much a w-person.

It definitely is blowing up, especially within anime circles. Shows like OPM however even had my non anime watching friends take notice.
It had a very interesting premise "a man who defeats enemies in one punch" and the show delivered consistently entertaining episodes.

GOH show doesn't seem to have that great of an elevator pitch(compared to OPM).

I'm pretty sure most people who watch GOH will like it but I doubt it will be as famous as OPM in terms of characters,memes, and public awareness in casual watchers or non anime watching crowds.

I'm very exited to see how far this anime will go and if i'm wrong about how popular it will get I would be happy because it would mean more people will watch the show.That being said it's important to manage expectations and hype or they can and will kill a show.

Idk if it was just me but one of the things I loved about OPM was that it made me feel kinda bad for Saitama because no one noticed his efforts (only Genos and other heroes but not the public) and I'm hopeful to see Saitama get recognition (in the plot) as he should

Yes I meant ep 19. Personally I gave it 8/10 for me show overall was good with couple issues. But almost noone talked about it. After episode 19, the hype blow up like a volcano.

It's only been two episodes so it's hard to say. GoH certainly wouldn't for the same reasons or, in all probability, at the same level. Never read the webtoons, but it's got a lot going for it and to its credit, the fact that people are even asking this says a lot. a lot of salt in these comments lol. You could name every single reason why things may or not catch on, but it's like everyone says - can't force a trend.

When Murata remade OPM it was cool and caught a lot of attention for its incredibly detailed art, comedy, and paneling, but I don't think anyone could have predicted it would go as main stream as it is now back when it came out in 2012. I read the manga when it first came out that summer, and there was some hype surrounding it following its release - and the subsequent anime adaption - but the hype only really started to amp up outside of the anime community around a year or so after it finished airing (just generalizing for simplicity sake).

It especially grew traction in popular media when it hit netflix. So yeah bit of a history lesson for fun haha. On that note, as big as crunchyroll is, I think it would do both ToG and GoH a big service to make it more accessible to the casual viewer. Maybe when they get their second seasons? They've got pretty great production values and after more content and general word of mouth spreads I could see it on the likes of Black Clover's anime or maybe even HxH one day, at least in terms of how their population would grow.

Also, this and last season has had some pretty significant shifts in growth and popularity, some of the more shocking ones were series that have been out for a while that have only now gained traction. Pretty crazy stuff

Only in the overly hyped expectations of webtoon fandom.


If there is something new that we are experiencing here in MAL is the cringey behavior of the users that are fans of webtoon series.

- Seek for approval
- Complete absence of (self)criticism


Just check any comment section of a webtoon chapter. It is all and only blatantly praising and asslicking.

Then here in MAL it is the opposite. The clash of civilizations are resulting in... topics like this.

I don't think so. OPM has more memorable characters and a premise that is not as generic as God of High School. Saitama is pretty unique and the absurdity surrounding him makes for pretty good comedy.

GHS has the teenage protagonists thing going for it though, that always attracts more viewers than with an "adult" protagonist.

As much as I'm inclined towards saying "NO".
I gotta admit, this is really true. Anything can happen

Although, there's one thing for sure.
GoH will never "blow up like OPM".
Anime like One Punch Man and Attack on Titan blew up because of their attention-grabbing, thrilling, different and action-oriented premises which GoH doesn't have.

However as mentioned above it could go the Kimetsu route. One phenomenal episode could do wonders for the series.

Or it could go the Mha route - building it's hype and becoming popular over time which I find unlikely but still attainable

Probably not. The most possible webtoon to blow up must be Solo Leveling if they have great adaptation as the manhwa is already very very popular in the anime/manga community.

But OPM is like one of the top 10 most popular/iconic manga of all time and one of the most popular works before it even have the adaptation, so I don't think any adaptation will came as close as OPM in terms of popularity unless there's some very popular manga having a superb adaptation in the future

No chance. God of Highschool is a decent Manwa and the anime has got it's upsides like the animation but what it lacks is good writing. If you think about it, what made One Punch man blow up was not just the animation, because if animation was what made it popular then a Show like Fire Force would be one of the most popular anime of all time because one can argue that it has a got one of the greatest action scenes in anime history. But that's not really the case, God of Highschool like Fire Force lacks good enough writing. ONE in my opinion is one of the greatest action comedy writers/mangaka ever. The fact that he could make such a basic plot of "a man who can finish any foe with just one punch" so interesting is thanks to his skill as a great writer. And the anime had that great writing finely adapted. Even the second season was able to make a lot of people chuckle even though it lacked in the animation department. Unfortunately, like most Manwa/Manhua God of Highschool lacks in that writing department. While it feels natural when you read it as a Webtoon it doesn't really work as great when you adapt it into an anime.
