Story:
The story revolves around a wannabe hero who trains so hard until his hair falls out in return for peerless strength. Sounds ridiculous? It definitely is. That’s what makes the show interesting. The episodes can be summarized as the overpowered Saitama finishing off enemies that other heroes cant with ease and boredom. So don’t expect much from the plot. It isn’t what makes the show worthwhile.
Characters:
The cast of characters, like everything else in the show, is ridiculous. There’s the mc who is basically a lazy, unemployed adult who is granted limitless power. There’s jack-o-lantern panic who gives this creepy, shudder-inducing grin when he fights a worthy opponent and then there’s Genos, the sidekick who takes his job seriously but always loses to Saitama. If rich characters with engaging backgrounds are what you are looking for, this isn’t the right anime. Ridiculous characters who fight and say ridiculous things for the viewer's entertainment are given instead. If you are fine with dumb humor, enjoy.
Animation:
As expected of a 2015 onwards anime, the visuals are pretty darn good. I like how the clear and crisp quality further emphasizes the shine of Saitama's bald head... :) That thing is like a mirror. I think some part of the OP had actually focused on his shiny head...
Sound:
I have absolutely nothing to say about the sound. I simply skipped the OP and ED because I wanted to see what ludicrous gimmick Saitama would attempt in the next episode.
Enjoyment:
My enjoyment of this show is maxed out. I mean, what’s not to like? You have got a bald jobless guy that obliterates evil with a single punch, other ridiculous characters to complement his lunacy and a setting that keeps placing the mc in retarded situations. As long as you aren’t expecting this anime to be anything other than what it is, a comedy, you probably will enjoy one punch man. Oh yeah, and the fight scenes are amazing! Like ‘the-best-I’ve-ever-seen’ kind of amazing. This is one of the killer appeals of the show to me. I had thoroughly enjoyed the fast-paced and exciting fights, especially those fought by Genos. Wow, just wow. If anyone knows of anime with fight scenes like that, recommend it to me. These are the best.
Overall:
One-punch man is no masterpiece, I don’t think it was ever meant to be one. It doesn’t provide a series that creates a connection to the viewer and tugs at his/her heartstrings masterfully. But it was never supposed to. It was supposed to bring smiles to the viewer's faces as they were entertained by this jester’s tale of heroism and power. So if you find yourself with some spare time on your hands, might as well indulge this bald jester in his whims and fancies as he gives you a tour into the mundane lunacy he calls his home.
