Story: Initially, the show appears just to be a parody of shounen battle series. Had OPM just stuck to the formula of Saitama just annihilating everything in one punch, I would have been disappointed. The layering of the story with the introduction of Genos and the Hero Association and the sort of commentary it makes about the substance of heroes is where OPM truly shines. 10/10.
Art: The art of this show is magnificent. The show is vibrant, and all the characters look great. Making Saitama go from MS Paint-tier to incredibly well drawn is a bit of a gag, but it isn't overused to the point that I found it irritating. The landscapes and the animation are phenomenal, and there really isn't anything I would want changed. 10/10.
Sound: The sound gets the job done, but the OST is not phenomenal. There were no truly memorable tracks. The sound effects are done quite well, and the voice acting is great. 10/10.
Character: The characters are beautifully drawn and animated, and I enjoyed the incredibly large and colourful cast of seemingly over-powered heroes. 10/10.
Enjoyment: This show is fun to watch. The animation and art dazzle while the story is consistently funny and interesting to watch. Every week I would look forward to watching Saitama and Genos embark on their crazy exploits. There was nothing about this show that really annoyed me or raised any flags, it was enjoyable the whole way through. 10/10.
Conclusion: One Punch Man, although being incredibly divisive about the quality of its parody and many claims of it being "overrated" provided me with a show that I personally really enjoyed. If you're tired of filler and poor and repetitive cliches in shounen anime, I would highly recommend One Punch Man for an enjoyable and lighthearted watch. If you're craving a show that is funny yet still provides enough seriousness for hearty contemplation of its themes and issues, One Punch Man delivers on those fronts with ease and finesse. Overall: 10/10.
