If you haven't seen this show and are considering it, I would highly recommend investing your time in this.
you may think that a story centered around the most OP character ever created may get boring at times, as did i, before watching the show but i have never been so wrong!
the show mixes a colorful cast of well designed characters with an amazing soundtrack and fairly simple plot to create a well-balanced and fully fleshed out show that kept me interested throughout the shows 12 episode run time.
I may be the first One-Punch advocate to admit that the show is not perfect. There were some boring down-times and arcs that may seem irrelevant and some major plot holes that a not seasoned anime fan may become stuck on, and i feel at times i was hanging on the back of one character, Saitama, to carry me through the show.
That being said, Saitama is one of the most likable characters in the history of anime. He manages to keep the show light and comedic, and i feel if he was replaced by another copy-paste character, the show would be labeled as a "try too hard dragon ball knock-off".
The show is very satirical at times and makes fun of anime in general, as Kill La Kill attempted to do in 2013. I feel as if they make all the characters OP on purpose. It always seem as as if one villain outshines the last, and every hero get increasingly more powerful as the show went on, trying to get the audience as hyped up as they can before the finale, and it worked.
Speaking of the finale, the show's end was fairly satisfying, leaving me with a feeling of closure. Just when you think the show couldn't get any crazier, it gets crazier. The animation was well done and the music was outstanding. The show also sets up for a potential season 2, which is scheduled to premiere in October, and i am very excited to see how much farther Mad House can take it.
All things considered, i rate this show a 9. I know people on this site all have different scoring method, myself included, but if i had to rate the show on a level of enjoyment(which i did for this review) this show would get a solid 10 by me, no questions asked, and i think that's the most important thing.
