Story (10/10) Masterpiece
The story for One Punch Man is simple and it's basically the main character looking for a satisfying fight and when you hear about such a plot the first thing that comes to mind is "That sounds generic, boring or stale". But guess what you might be right but it's not about that... it's about the execution and I don't think it could have been pulled off in a better way than this series did it. The creator could have easily made every single episode the exact way episode one was, but he didn't. Execution is everything and the fact they we know how every fight is going to end and still be entertained is what drives it home for me. You can't deny the amazing fights scenes that has happened in the anime and you can't deny that from a story stand point the side characters like Genos are interesting and the creator didn't have to do that like I said before every episode could have been just like episode 1. Saitama going around One Punching everything, did you see how bored Saitama was in Episode 1? Yeah we all would have been that bored if the entire series was like that but it isn't. The story opens you up to a world filled with interesting heroes, their struggles, their stories and how is coincides with Saitama's. And yeah we didn't get to anything Garou related except a mention but you want an even deeper story? Go read the manga because what the character Garou has to go through is even more of a reason why it would be an injustice for me to sit here and give this anything lower than a 10.
Art and Animation (10/10) Outstanding
Outstanding and just a flat out masterpiece yeah there were some parts that were not adapted to my expectations but more where above and beyond it also so it makes up for it especially the final battle with Boros.
Sound (10/10) Masterpiece
The sound in One Punch Man is a Masterpiece easily, the sound effects, the voice acting (JP VA is what I'm referring to just in case a dub ever comes out which it most likely will), and the MUSIC. The music alone for every single portion of the anime is completely amazing especially the opening theme song, yes I'm one of those people who never skipped it. My video player crashed one time and I had to start the video over it crashed right after the opening you know what I did? Listened to it again. The outro music I hear everyone giving a hard time and even I wasn't feeling it for literally half the the anime it wasn't until around episode 8 where it finally caught on to me it's a soothing song and it is what it is I like it also, its not bad what so ever I've heard bad before this isn't it. It just doesn't fit One Punch Man is all but like I said I got used to it and I enjoy listening to it by the time episode 11 came rolling around.
Characters (10/10) Outstanding
*Spoilers*
We understand what One Punch Man is about just by the name alone and some people don't like the fact that the main character and majority of the story revolves around such an aspect. But when you look at the story for the other characters like Genos and the his quest to become strong (same thing goes for Mumem Licenseless Rider) I can't help but give props to creation of these outstanding character doing their very best to become the best hero they can possibly be. The search Saitama has to go through to obtain a fight that would last more than one punch had been found by the end of this part of the adaption of this series and that is with the final fight, but even at the end Lord Boros could tell that Saitama was still holding back so one can say that this entire fight COULD have ended in One Punch if Saitama wanted to so just because Saitama didn't defeat him in One Punch doesn't be he couldn't have because if the so called "Serious Punch" that ends Boros ended Boros and it wasn't Saitama's full power (both Saitama and Boros knows and confirms this) that Saitama COULD have finished the fight in One Punch if he wanted to the start, which still makes Saitama "One Punch Man" just because he didn't feel like ending it in One Punch doesn't mean you should rip the title away from him obviously the creator had to make the final fight entertaining which is why the ended up this way. BUT I DIGRESS. Back to the character of Saitama, he's a joke character yes but is quest to find someone that can give him the fight of his life continues and the day we will see with we may never know but you can't say it isn't unique because I don't know a character from any other series that has to go through what Saitama is going through it's a different type of struggle on a completely different spectrum. Other characters like Silver Fang, Atomic Samurai, Metal Bat, Tatsumaki etc. are all interesting characters also so even if you think the main character is dull, I would be surprised if you they are also.
Enjoyment (10/10) Outstanding
Like I said this anime did not adapt what I read perfectly. Minuscule things were changed but it didn't hurt my enjoyment enough to not give this section a 10 also for perfect adaptation of the characters and story alone I enjoyed this just as much as I expected it lived up to my hype and since there was no music while I was reading it hearing such amazing music during the crazy hype fighting scenes is another reason why my enjoyment isn't anything lower than a 10 itself that's something only an anime can give you (that's of course if you aren't listening to music while you are reading manga which I wasn't during that time). I was hyped and ready every week and it delivered damn near every single time it made my sundays worth living.
Overall (10/10) Masterpiece
It's definitely my #1 choice, I hope that this gets a season 2, because we know MadHouse is famous for not doing second seasons for majority of their anime. This one needs to happen the world would be a better place with anime season of One Punch Man in it. Yusuke Murata the artist for the manga publication of this series even stated that he'll will try to make a season 2 happen so hopefully (NOT ANYTIME SOON BECAUSE I KNOW THE MANGA ISN'T THAT FAR AHEAD OF WHERE THIS ANIME CONCLUDED) we get a season 2.
