OPM it's perfect, I gave it an 8 which is fair in itself, I gave SNK an 8 because it slows down to an unforgiving crawl halfway through, which are in my opinion justified reasons. But for people to blatantly claim that OPM has no positives other than it's animation quality it's mind boggling how they can say that unironically No, they downvote it because it is actually overrated. There's no actual story, and the only reason it's so praised on this site is because of the animation and consistent art done by Madhouse. If it were any other studio that animated the series, this show wouldn't be looked at as the 'holy' on this forum. This is obvious, come on now. Smh. |

There is development but not enough to constitute god tier status. There is little story. Its just simple entertainment. The animation is what is making everybody go crazy. ^ this. Oh well. If people like it, good for them. Off to the next one in my plan to watch list I guess. |

gswelcome said: naerecs said: I really like opm, and I am caught up in the Webtoon as well, but I do feel the anime is slightly overrated. Maybe it's just because I already have gone through the story twice, but I just think that the hype people had for this was too high. When I saw the internet talking about it, some were worshiping this as "the savior of anime" and it really wasn't. See the problem I have with this anime is the fact that there is no "story" and there are no "characters". Just one mindless fight after another with characters that have a single characteristic that mainly being "badass". The art and fight scenes are certainly fantastic but I don't find this to be enough to compensate the total absesnse of plot and development of anybody in OPM. Even Kill la Kill! as mindless as it could be did have progression on both of these fronts, OPM doesn't even try to do this. Yeah I had more fun with Kill La Kill as well, even though I did drop both anime in the end due to pure boredom after a while. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I DO like some development in my anime otherwise it's stale as fuck. |

I rated the anime as a '6' because I was more bored than entertained after the 2nd episode, and only completed the anime to see how they'd animated the 'big fights'. The comedy was awfully stale in comparison to the manga, and I found myself getting easily distracted during the episodes. Unlike Onepunchman, Boku dake ga Inai Machi has an actual intriguing storyline that reels it's viewers in and actually keeps them entertained. 'Viewers' being people that actually understand and see how well established both the plot and characters are. But I could care less if it does or doesn't make top 10, or if it gets downvoted to an overall 7 by trolls. Rankings on this site don't mean anything, since most people on this site have horrid taste in both characters and anime/manga. This is evidenced by the garbage 'Top 50 Characters/Top 10 Anime'. The only reason I even commented was because you declared OPM as a perfect anime, and tried to shift most of it's 'hate' as being overrated, when there was underlying issues deeper than that. But if you feel as though the anime is a 10/10 and you loved it, that's fine. |
| yes it def is. the comedy only lasted the first 2 episodes after that it was the same thing over and over again. using genos as fodder to hype baldy so he can one pun h the villain. much fun, much creativity |
| This is still relevant lol? |

People were downvoting this particular anime mostly because of the fanbase's response to everything. 'If you don't like this anime, you're just being a hater' is the typical response to anyone disagreeing that the show deserved anything more than a 7/8 out of 10. It was a successful attempt to troll the fanbase, but even I agree that this show shouldn't be top 10 on this site. ERASED's last episode was actually slow, the previous several episodes were fine. This'll be my last response to this thread unless someone else mentions me, but thanks for at least being more understanding than a lot of other users on this thread. |

For me, it is no different from overrated threads. Anyway, i don't see the point of locking this thread now. It got repeated for a long time, and got discussion to nowhere. People already have said that they thought, and i doubt about some new life will be pour in this thread now, when anime is over. |

| It's great entertainment and to me that's all that matters really. To call something overrated is such empty criticism anyway. You're not addressing the merits of the work itself or how well it does what it sets out to do, but rather people's attachment to it. It's little more than a cheap shot at a fanbase and I have a hard time taking any discussion surrounding said word seriously as it's been overused to death. It's the new "epic", but somehow even worse because its usage doesn't seem to be dying anytime soon. Saying it doesn't belong in the top 10 or 20 or 30 is also silly. When I look at MAL's top 30 I don't think OPM looks particularly out of place. It's not like the other 29 entries are some sort of highbrow entertainment which strives to push the medium foward. They're mostly entertaning, popular shows that do something well enough to please a large audience, and that's exactly what OPM is. On that note, it deserves to be there just as much as the others. |

| Who cares? The backlash has already started against OPM by the hipsters who hate it because its popular and people are trying to lower its score. It's dropped from rank 10 to rank 13 in like 2 weeks already, dropping from something like a 9.03 to a 8.97. Same will happen with Boku Dake soon enough too. Any shows that get popular quickly become popular to shit on as well. The reason Gintama has like 5/10 of the top 10? It's not popular enough to dislike. Its rise wasn't fast enough. If it had shot up in popularity like OPM or Boku Dake, it'd probably have gotten slammed by reviewers more than it has and would have lost positions. Even a few years back you saw shit like this with K-On!, it came out, became very popular very quickly as the pinnacle of slice of life schoolgirl anime. Got shat on hard by hipsters and people who hate moe, many of it scoring it down without even watching it. Whilst a show like Nichijou held its score because it simply wasn't as popular so the backlash against it wasn't as hard. So, the question probably shouldn't be "Is OPM overrated?" because it isn't, it's rated as highly as it should be. The question isn't should be "Is OPM too popular?", because it probably is that too. A new anime getting scored so highly is gonna piss off the anime elitists and the 12 year olds as well. |

It's dropped from rank 10 to rank 13 in like 2 weeks already, dropping from something like a 9.03 to a 8.97. To be fair, I genuinely didn't like the anime. I thought it was all flash and no substance, so it's possible there are others out there with the same opinion. If you like that kind of thing though, it delivers. Oh no, don't worry, I get it. Some people just don't like certain anime. I really hate Code Geass but I get that most other people like it. Just there seems to be a real "It's cool to not like OPM" attitude starting to appear. The rapid fall in its rating is kinda proof of that. Just see this shit happening too much and kinda get sick of it where something gets popular so it becomes hipster-cool to hate it. |
| Sorry but this anime Is so overrated, sure it's good, fight scenes are fun to watch, but ultimately it's pointless and forgettable, it's like a fast food anime, ok at the time but very little substance, maybe a second season could flesh it out more but as it is I think it's ok at best |
| One Punch Man is a pretty good show. I like how it portrays Saitama as just a simple average dude who likes getting discount groceries while the most powerful man in the universe. The show also made me laugh a few times. I would recommend a watch. |
 |
| I enjoyed it a lot, so no, I don't think it's overrated. It's definitely over hated though. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Exactly its pretty good but there are 100's of better animes that you could watch instead hence it being overrated. |
| Why is this thread still active? Isn't OPM already out of the Top 10? Seesh the anti circle jerk became what it wanted to fight against I guess Tsu-kki said: yes it def is. the comedy only lasted the first 2 episodes after that it was the same thing over and over again. using genos as fodder to hype baldy so he can one pun h the villain. much fun, much creativity Comedy is a complete subjective thing to analyse You didn't liked it? Big deal, plenty of people did and enjoyed just because you didn't liked the comedy doesn't means you have to shit on the taste of the people who did like by calling it "overrated" (such a dumb word smfh) gswelcome said: Grey-Zone said: I disagree. Actually we are essentially still in the "introduction phase". Sea-King and Boros were just 2 "intermission" stories and next 2 arcs after the events covered by the anime focus on introducing more characters again. Only after that could you say that an actual "story" starts to form. And what do you expect from this amount of characters in mere 12 episodes? The story is not finished yet. So there is actually more or less an "over-arching story", it's just that the anime didn't get to that yet. But even if that wasn't the case - Dragon Ball for example was no better. There was no overarching "main story" and often when a story arc ended, a completely unrelated one would start. That's nothing "unusual". It's "episodic", but in a greater sense, so "story arc based" would be a fitting word I guess. OPM starts out a bit episodic and later turns into something in-between "story arc based" and "overarching story based". Well there is also Saitama climbing up the ranks of the HA and more and more people being aware of Saitama's real power. Its a very long introduction phase to be lasting an entire season of anime, to go without any real progression in characters or plot. So Saitama has advanced a few grades, what has this done to his character? Nothing, it is a completely meaningless background to his character, even he doesn't really care except that now he doesn't have to work as much to keep it. Dragonball Z at least had long arcs with one baddie to fight instead of these individual monsters and mini arcs. Plus the Z Fighters actually grew in strength if not in personality unlike Saitama who is unbeatable to begin with so we don't even have that for character growth. I'll buy that the show grows more of continuing plot line later but that doesn't help draw in those who like that kind of thing now. Its entertaining enough certainly but I just don't see how it is one of the best things evar like so many are declaring. The person above me says it "saved" anime for instance, this kind of thing is simply going way overboard imo. I don't think your comparision is fair OPM is an anime with 12 episodes, DB and DBZ had more than 200 to set up a history OPM's initial phase is a bit of a set up but it has story and characters too. Saitama, Genos, Mumen Rider, some S class heroes, Amai Mask...all of them got spotlight in some way or another and were set up for the future. Saying it didn't had "real progression", its like you didn't watched the series at all tbh because it clearly had progession in one way or another, just notice how Saitama acted in the beginning and how he changes after episode 9 and then compare the clear parallel linking the last villain with Saitama in episode 1 It's like people who say the series had no story or progression watched a completely different anime, no the part that was adapted of OPM wasn't deep or had complex moral themes, it was simple and delivered the values and messages it wanted to deliver And honestly just because a series isn't deep doesn't means it's bad |

Saitama, Genos, Mumen Rider, some S class heroes, Amai Mask...all of them got spotlight in some way or another and were set up for the future. Saying it didn't had "real progression", its like you didn't watched the series at all tbh because it clearly had progession in one way or another, just notice how Saitama acted in the beginning and how he changes after episode 9 and then compare the clear parallel linking the last villain with Saitama in episode 1 It's like people who say the series had no story or progression watched a completely different anime, no the part that was adapted of OPM wasn't deep or had complex moral themes, it was simple and delivered the values and messages it wanted to deliver And honestly just because a series isn't deep doesn't means it's bad I'll just say that DBZ may have had more episodes but the series still introduced more character development for the main cast in the first episode than we got in these 12 eps, hundreds weren't needed just the gang at Master Roshi's place before Radiz arrived, that is it. Also I'll just say that I never said this series was bad because it isn't deep or that it was bad for any other reason, as I said earlier I enjoyed it for what it was. The animation was great and the fights hella fun. But it is still most definitely overrated all the same. Not the same as bad, I've noticed people seem to think there are only two possibilities for something "awesome" or "sucks". There ARE more possibilities than that and for me OPM was alright, nothing spectacular just a decent show. |

I didn't watch much Dragonball so I can't speak to that show, didn't interest me like DBZ did. So to me the show never happened, I only had DBZ to learn about those characters. I liked OPM but didn't love it, I think there is a big difference. It makes the show overrated to me when I see lots of "10" ratings, suggesting it is one of the best anime made which I don't believe it comes close to, for reasons I listed already. There is nothing wrong with it if people did love OPM to Top Ten Ever levels but I just can't agree with the opinion. |

| i don't think so but that's my opinion :c it's a great anime tbh |

I wonder how the hell you didn't got confused with DBZ considering it makes the viewer rely on DB knowledge to understand the relevance behind each character So basically, regarding OPM, you are techinically saying that your opinion is superior to those of other people and they can't rate it higher than you did because your opinion of the series is absolute regardless if these other people enjoyed the series more and rated accordingly That's quite pretentious tbf, it's ok if you think the series wasn't all that great but people have the right to have different opinions and they can rate the series differently than you based on these differencies See? That's why the term overrated is dumb, it takes into account that your opinion is absolute which is clearly not the case |

They think it just means "disagreeing with the opinions of those who liked it more", but in reality the word "overrated" is not refering to how you view the show as something less compared to others, but instead refering to how you dislike other people rating it highly - and that is an extreme difference. The word "overrated" is a personal attack against those who rated a series higher than oneself - and that's something many people using the word are not realizing. |

That's why the term overrated is dumb, it takes into account that your opinion is absolute which is clearly not the case It sounds to me that it is you who is getting butthurt over the opinion of someone else. I have no problem if you or anyone loves this show and I have said this repeatedly but you choose to ignore that. I don't have to keep my thoughts silent just because you don't like it. You can throw all the insults around that you like but it doesn't change the fact that I think I find the show is undeserving of the high praise that it gets. IN MY OPINION. It is absolutely ironic that you are trying to say that I think my thoughts on the show is the only thing that matters when you are actually the one doing just that, that my thinking OPM isn't the greatest thing ever is what is heretical. Well I'm sorry somone has a contrary opinion but live with it. I'm done here, if you still don't get it then I see no point in taking the time to repeat myself ye again. |

| I have never seen one man one punch, so I really don't know if it is overrated, if it really is overrated then that's a lot of people who overrated it. |
gswelcome said: It sounds to me that it is you who is getting butthurt over the opinion of someone else. I'm not the one calling it "overrated" tho I have no problem if you or anyone loves this show and I have said this repeatedly but you choose to ignore that. I don't have to keep my thoughts silent just because you don't like it. You can throw all the insults around that you like but it doesn't change the fact that I think I find the show is undeserving of the high praise that it gets. IN MY OPINION. This statement has contradictions, you said that you accept people loving the show yet just after it you said you think it's underserving of praise So basically you do not accept people loving the show and giving it 10,you find that you're overrating them I believe the problem here is that you do not know the meaning of the word overrated or something It is absolutely ironic that you are trying to say that I think my thoughts on the show is the only thing that matters yeah, that's what you imply when you say it's overrated, ou're disregarding other people's opinions Let me explain, just because you think a series isn't worth high praise doesn't means other people think the same, by saying that you think it's overrated you're putting your opinion above the others when you are actually the one doing just that, that my thinking OPM isn't the greatest thing ever is what is heretical. Well I'm sorry somone has a contrary opinion but live with it. Not really? When did I say OPM was the greatest thing ever? You can dislike it, no prob It just triggers me to see people using buzzwords like "overrated" when they don't know what it means that's why it's quite ironic when you say "somone has a contrary opinion live with it" because by saying that OPM(or any other series) is overrated, you're dishing out the opinions of other people and putting yours on top, you're basically saying "look I didn't find this series to be that cool but these people are finding the same series to be cool, clearly they are wrong and my opinion is superior"...this is the opposite of what you said I'm done here, if you still don't get it then I see no point in taking the time to repeat myself ye again. I still find it quite funny how you didn't notice how you ended up contradicting yourself up there Well...anyway I will just leave here one thing another poster of this thread said that basically sums my point Grey-Zone said: Most people don't notice the "-rated" part in "overrated". They think it just means "disagreeing with the opinions of those who liked it more", but in reality the word "overrated" is not refering to how you view the show as something less compared to others, but instead refering to how you dislike other people rating it highly - and that is an extreme difference.

| The premise of the show was great. Then it just repeats like a broken record, with new, more badass looking enemies. There were a few good moments in between but I hardly think that makes it near perfect. |
 |
| I'm 10 episodes in (about to watch #11) and it's easily the most overrated anime I've seen since No Game No Life. Except I actually liked that one. Right now I'm just finishing OPM because I'm hoping something in the last two eps will redeem it. |
| Of course! It's a manga about a guy who can KO anyone with One punch, what kind of plot is that?! |
| I'm actually surprised the vote is as close as it is, would have thought it much more lopsided against given OPMs ranking. |
| |
| I just hope God doesn't allow one more season of this shit. |

nowa_ said: I just hope God doesn't allow one more season of this shit. +1 I don't say it shit but defenitly overrated... is just a stupid gag anime... People overrate this just for the manga. |

Haou-Judai said: no one forcing you to watch sequel... i devinitely agree that it overrated, but just because you think it's bad, doesn't mean it automaticaly shit for everyone and doesn't deserve sequel. and manga actually supperior to anime, if anymeans, people rate it lower because of manga.nowa_ said: I just hope God doesn't allow one more season of this shit. +1 I don't say it shit but defenitly overrated... is just a stupid gag anime...

If i maybe hate something is the OPM fans... dosnet metter which website i watch i probably saw a OPM Post/video/picture that hype this... And it's make me sick... we have Million better anime is in this world... so it need to be stop... Also The anime get the top 50 or above before even started... so yea they are overrate because the manga.. |
In the case of OPM, plot armor is kind of "the point", considering that saitama's invincibility is the purpose of his character. He's a gag character satirising the concept of an average man getting superpowers. Anyway, I enjoyed OPM but it is certainly overrated. The whole middle arc felt really boring to me. |
