The one thing I will say is to not look too deep into what you think show is, I've seen people saying it strays away from its 'parody' tag and saying it as a bad thing. It doesn't really parody anything for any of the main characters.
Anyway onto the review none of you care about.
Story - 7
------------------------------
The story of OPM isn't a particularly deep one, nor is it that different from numerous other stories you've heard before. But it is a well told one, and a well paced one.
Effectively the show from 1 all the way through to 12 is about our hero, Saitama, fighting things and generally being unbeatable. Whilst he goes around saving the day, all the other heroes and civilians believe him to be just a normal average hero, or a fraud. This he clearly isn't to anyone who sees him, but because of his outlook on heroism he doesn't really mind not being recognized as the best. The jokes of the show come mainly from this misunderstanding, or from the gross power difference between Saitama and whatever he's fighting.
Good story, not anything amazingly special though.
Art - 10
------------------------------
Now the art in this show is absolutely outstanding. The fight sequences have some of the most in depth and interesting artistry I've seen in a show. Take a look at the OPM manga, and imagine it fully animated. That's what you get here.
Glorious.
Sound - 8
------------------------------
The sound for this show is brilliant. (In all honesty i don't know how sound could ever really be a 10/10, which is why this is an 8 from me.) The sound design hits all the triggers, and has lovely noises in all the right places. The fights feel heavy and epic, and the comedy feels slapstick and easy. The switches between these moments don't feel jarring, and flow together perfectly.
To top it off the OP for this show is great, and will have fans shouting 'WAN PANCH' at their screens when it hits.
Character - 7
------------------------------
A great selection of personalities is on show here, and they all complement each other wonderfully.
We have our Hero, Saitama - A hero for fun, slapstick and uncaring; all whilst being the most powerful man in perhaps the universe.
Alongside him is Genos - Saitama's disciple, and cyborg enamored by our hero's greatness.
Then we have the collection of heroes, all vying for power and recognition. Each with a distinct ability set and personality set.
Finally there comes the villains, these are effectively the reflection of the heroes. The again struggle to showcase their powers, but they differ in that they all have the mad super-villain motive of - destroy the earth, kill all humans.
Nice bunch of characters. Oh, and they're voice acted well too.
Enjoyment - 10
------------------------------
Whereas I can admit this show probably isn't for everyone, I think most people will love it. Its an easy watch, especially if you go and discuss it with some friends after the fact.
Yeah, if you're anything like me - you should feel the 'hype'.
Overall - 9
------------------------------
This is a well put together show, that faithfully adapts the source material in a way that only ever improves.
A must watch for anyone that likes anything, you may not love it but you should definitely give it a go.
