I have to admit OPM is not like a regular shounen anime where the
villain beats the crap out of mc and all of his friends start crying
to save them and the mc turns super saiyan 5 or 6 and then beats the
heck out of the villain.
But guess what.. OPM still sucks and terribly.
I tend to keep my reviews short but i found the need to enlighten this
world about why OPM sucks so i decided to give a detailed review based
on 12 episodes of the anime.
I tried my best to make this review spoiler free.
Story: 1/10
In a sentence "An extremely overpowered guy who knocks out douches
with one punch" sounds legit.Comedy is supposed be the main objective
of this anime but imo their attempts at comedy were pathetic.I fail to
understand how naming people or rather creatures Vaccine
Man,Beefcake,Smile Man,License-less Rider,Atomic Samurai,Pig God are
supposed to make us laugh.There were a few moments where i had a faint
grin but they got overshadowed by the stupidity of the mc.
Art: 8/10
The best part of this anime is the art.Ofcourse the art would be
amazing because it is made by Madhouse.Also this is the only reason
why i decided to watch this anime.
I cant believe i am appreciating OPM but i have to say this as guys,
the minute details in the surroundings were actually impressive.Also
the animation in the last episode was good.The character design of
lord Boros was epic.
Sound: 4/10
There was this one guy in our college who kept annoying me by singing
some random anime opening and turns out that it was OPM's opening.He
also told me that the soundtracks were amazing and give the vibe of a
Godlike badass.After listening to soundtracks especially Saitama,s
main theme instead of screaming "ONE PUUUUUNCH MAAAAN" i yelled "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY"
Character: -1/10
I read this description of Saitama on the OPM wiki which was
"In this new action-comedy, everything about a young man named Saitama
screams "AVERAGE," from his lifeless expression, to his bald head, to
his seemingly unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking
fellow doesn't have your average problem... He's actually a superhero
that's looking for tough opponents! The problem is, every time he
finds a promising candidate he beats the snot out of them in one
punch. Can Saitama finally find an evil villain strong enough to
challenge him? Follow Saitama through his hilarious romps as he
searches for new bad guys to challenge!"
So the strongest guy huh.. then nothing to watch here.This is a failed
attempt at parody.I cannot comprehend how they show <SPOILER>his ass
getting kicked by Boros,suddenly starts retaliating and finally Boros
agrees that he was no match to Saitama.So this is just another shounen
anime without all the friendship drama although it doesnt have that
tag.
Enjoyment: 0/10
I wasted 17280 seconds of my precious life on this disgusting piece of
crap.I should be on tons of meth to give OPM a score of 0 out of 10.
Overall: 1/10
The only reason i gave it 1 is because of Madhouse.Guys trust me i had
to do a reality check twice after i finished this anime about why
people liked this so much.I began doubting whether i was living in the
normal world or i was living in the parallel universe where anime like
perfect insider and one outs barely manage to get an 8.5 but this shit
gets a score around 9.
Please donot watch this even if people recommend this anime as it would be a sheer waste of time.
Now if you excuse me i gotta go ONE PUNCH that guy in the face who told me OPM soundtracks were amazing.
