The story in OPM is really something different. The main character, Saitama is a hero who has become too powerful and is able to beat every opponent with a single punch, or in otherwords, is unable to defeat any opponent with any more effort than a single punch. He has become too powerful. And that's the comedy aspect of the series. You always get this big hype and build up of a really strong and overly confident villain. Later on, Saitama will always win with a single punch. No exceptions. That's why this series can be described as a parody/satire. But don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean this show doesn't have amazing fight scenes. With many supporting and side characters this show has to offer, like Genos the cyborg, Saitama's "disciple", there are a lot of fighting scenes where there are actually lives at steak. But there is never a sense of a conflict ending in despair. In the end, Saitama will always be there to save the day. The setting in OPM is really unique and a breath of fresh air.
Art: 9
The art of the series is quite solid. Very colorful, a lot of cool character designs and topped of with an awesome, cartoonish animation it's a certified 9.
Sound: 8
The opening and ending of this show are both quite good, no complaints. The voice actors are also quit nailed. My only complaint about the OSTs isn't the songs themselves. It's the constant reuse of some tracks. There will be episodes where you will hear the same song play in 10 different occasions. Even though the songs are really, and I mean REALLY good, there isn't many of them.
Character: 9
The main characters of this show, Saitama and Genos both have very simple backstories. Saitama wanted to become a hero, so he trained so hard his hair fell off. Genos' family was murdered by a cyborg, and he seeks revenge and justice. Saitama reminds me off Gintama's protagonist, Gintoki. He is lazy, his eyes always look like there's nothing going around inside his head. He might be incredibly OP, but he still has troubles dealing with daily tasks, like killing mosquitoes and shopping. Genos is a typical stone faced sidekick who always knows his goal. He has a great respect for his "mentor". He can be quite boring when it comes to dialogue and monologue, (unlike Saitama, his conversations with other people and with himself are usually pretty comical) but his fight scenes and development make up for it. His fight scenes are extremely enjoyable. The supporting characters are all quite solid too. The show focuses a lot on the leading cast mostly, so I don't feel the need to talk about the other characters.
Enjoyment: 10
This serious is a blast to watch. Amazing fight scenes, outstanding comedy, a lot of cool and colorful characters, awesome enemies and hype. The only episode where i could have dropped this series if a wanted to was episode 1. After that it's really hard not to marathon it. You never get bored.
Overall: 9
With hardly any flaws, and 10/10 enjoyment this series gets a well deserved 9 from me. It might as well be a 10, but for me only perfect anime deserve a 10. This series isn't perfect, but still a must watch and the best anime to come out in recent years.
