I only feel that you can review content after you have completed it, and with this being my first review i did not want make that mistake (especially after that excellent finale)
(SKIP TO OVERALL IF YOU DONT LIKE LONG READS)
One Punch Man is a parody so it obviously has a decent focus on comedy and quips to keep some gears running whist you are watching, but don't let that put you off as the series has amazing fight sequences with outstanding animation, when the general thought would be "How can this series have good fights if the main dude is OP". I will
...
admit, i came to "ONE PUUUUNCCCHHH" as very stubborn, sceptical individual, as im that type of hipster that attempts not to follow the hype, however i gave this series a chance and it met my expectations and more in all its areas.
Story(8/10) - A CLASS Satisfied)
Call the plot simple, because it really is SIMPLE; just like the main protagonists face & look, the series SCREAMS SIMPLE. But being simple does not make this series bad because it understands this fact & benifits from it , as the world is very dense but is created from such a simple concept that it makes the series that much more interesting but easy to understand and enjoy.
Although from the side plots & comments about sinister/absent characters, i feel that the plot is building to a more intense & serious place for the future ( i have not read the manga) .
Art(10/10 - 9/10)
Im not here to debate about the pay for artists & animators, as the topic is for a different time, but with this series having a near average budget for a 12 episode run just baffles me.
Not one corner was cut to keep the feel & beauty of this series running consistently, as the attention to detail in scenes makes the world created One come to life, as visually - every character has something to offer in looking aesthetically pleasing for viewers (even Saitama) , so much love was put into it.
THE FIGHT SCENES ARE JUST EPIC IN ANIMATION!
But being critical, the worlds strongest mans fight animation was not on par with the others - yet it did kinda have its own lankey charm aha)
Sound(10/10 ONE PUNCCCCHHHHHH)
Okay, if you don't like epic music & a tense soundtrack to keep you on the edge of your seat... you wont like this Soundtrack. However i think everyone can appreciate how the music direction suits the series to make the experience whole.
THANK GOD this series did not use a "Silly song" to play whenever the characters are up to their comedic antics, as the use of pause and silence in the sound makes the experience even funnier in moments.
Character(10/10 Mumen Rider!!)
The characters in this series have a lot to offer, as each is unique in the One Punch Man universe to create a dynamic yet interesting world. Now this is not saying that you will not feel some characters are being generic or similar to others created in anime or any other media , but OPM actually plays on this trope.
Also OPM actually has some emotional & serious scenes with a bunch of its characters, that most viewers (especially myself) can empathise with.
Enjoyment(10/10 I clapped when the finale ended)
I actually never reviewed an anime online, but i really just enjoyed this series so much that i needed to share my views of it to the internet( so that others could experience what i did)
Just complete the series and give it a chance, and for a long time anime viewer this series is perfect to kickstart faith in new original anime.
OVERALL( 10/10)
After originally being sceptical about One Punch Man, I actually had this series set in my mind as a 8/9 out of 10; But after the finale and such a satisfying run, the series is a complete 10 "Masterpiece" of its own.
ALTHOUGH, do not take a rating of 10 to say that this anime is "better" or "cooler" than others( which i may of rated lower), i just believe, in itself this series gives everything and more to expect in its genre; in a smart fashion that leaves me extremely satisfied with "that"12 episode run being complete product filled with love at every corner.
Thank you for your time & don't be a hater - at least appreciate the effort.
