Title: One Punch Man discussion
Post by: Dongulator on Sun, 20 December 2015, 23:26:35
With the final ep of One Punch Man season 1 tonight, I figured I would start a discussion thread about the anime as a whole.
Personally I found it hard to get past the beginning of Ep3, but once I made it past that part I got really into it.
Oh, and the art style is fantastic. I like how it changes from time to time.\

Such a great anime, and I can't wait for season 2.

I love the animation style the  studio put into the show and the contrast in drawings depending on situations and characters. I'm sad they didn't cover the blizzard arc in the manga but overall probably the best anime of the season. Definitely one of the best of the year

One of my primery school friends which introduced me to pretty much every anime I have ever watched told me about this. I think it is fantastic and the plot concept just great. It has been years since i have been able to sit there and actually enjoy an anime. Due to house move i am a bit behind though which will be good to catch up in a few days

I would have to agree, one of the best of the year for sure.

How far are you in the manga? is it the web comic (original) or the books?
you should really watch the anime, I guess it keeps close to the manga.

Well you can already see my current avatar, hehe.

Read the manga after seeing so much hype online, loved it. Even watched the anime and enjoyed it. Like one guy said, bored of anime for years but one punch man is the second coming of Christ.

Yeah.. you could lump me in with the "bored of anime for years" however I did recently discover hunter x hunter (on par with OPM if you haven't seen it).  One Punch Man just sparked a new interest in anime. I just hope it wont fall short, and wont be drawn-out (think One Piece).

In my opinion for season 2 the obvious things should happen. Saitama will become a Class A hero and he will have to battle another hero.
Could this be Genos... who knows

Yea I have a friend who reads the manga, I guess it's still going and Ging is a bad ass..  I srsly hope they extend the anime to go with the manga. If not I will end up getting the manga series, because that's another fantastic show/story/anime/manga thing

HxH has a great story, with much more planned in the future.  The problem is, the mangaka has been on hiatus many times due to health problems (or addiction to Dragon Quest) and refuses to take on any assistants to help him with the load.  It's been close to a year and a half since the last chapter has been released, and it was a big setup chapter for the next arc.  FeelsBadMan


OPM is awesome, and does a great job parodying shounen tropes.

Poor Barnes and Noble, they don't even have much for Dr.Slump....Thankfully I live in a city with a pretty large Chinatown. So I have access to some pretty strange things.

So sad about hxh, the next arc was gonna be the expedition and they were gonna explore the disasters of the world which i found to be an awesome mystery. Hopefully he'll comeback and finish his work or else there will be a lot of sad fans

I heavily recommend watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, it's on the same level/mentality as One Punch Man.
It can be a little bit slow in the first season because they don't go truly bat**** insane until season two.

It's a parody to all the long drawn-out fights that plague popular Shonen Jumps and One Punch Man turns out to be good. Definitely a refreshing take on manga.







P.S. Fairy Tail is a horrible fan-service fest.

For the past few years, animes simply can't hack it with me.....used to follow Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden religiously but my interest sorta tapered off like a couple of years back. Since then, I've had no real interest in any anime series, sure I'd catch an episode or a few of some random series (like One Piece, Fairy Tail or the like) but absolutely NONE has captured my interest. I used to live for anime series, but that spark had long died out. Then, along came OPM and my interest in anime has been revitalized. Unlike the typical Shounen story, like Naruto who started out weak and became the strongest, OPM started out with a character who absolutely owns ALL others. The challenge for our hero, Saitama, is to find an opponent who's truly worthy of challenging him.....

Hell, I've gone back to my collection of anime to revisit them, and I'm on the lookout for newer series that might spark an interest in me. I'm praying feverishly for Season 2 of OPM to be confirmed and done......

It's not outright confirmed but the creator said he would work hard to make it happen on twitter (https://twitter.com/NEBU_KURO/status/676079244011659264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), and with the popularity it has I don't think getting a season 2 made will be a problem. It'll probably be a bit before it gets released as always with anime though.

That's Murata's twitter, right?  He's doing the illustrations for the remake of ONE's webcomic for serialization, but I'm not sure how far ahead the webcomic is compared to where the anime ended (Not reading the manga/webcomic yet)

Can someone give me a very brief description of OPM.  I don't know anything about it and i'd love to hear your elevator pitch.

Of course I can read a wiki or whatever, but Id like to hear the opinions of those who clearly adore the show. (given the dedicated thread)

I'm horrible about watching anime. Ill binge on shows for months and stop for months.  I feel like starting up again  ;D

You know, a buddy just said ,  hay Tp,  that der' anime,  the physics is wrong.. He can't possible do those things, because there's no way there's enough grip between his feet and the ground..


This is certainly a conundrum at the lower end of his power punching.. 

It would be possible to do his super moves, because we could argue that Generating so much power in a concentrated area created the possibility of his own 'intense' gravity, thus increasing his leverage..

BUT,  if he's doing some of the Regular punches..   there wouldn't be enough Energy generated in the concentrated area..


UNLESSS of course we're to assume, that His Energy engine Increases his mass upon activation, regardless of how much final out put he delivers.


So his punching is a 2 part process..    1 part delivers the enhanced density in energy to keep him on the ground,   the second part is the translation of some part of that energy into kinetic motion.

Murata's manga of OPM is way ahead of the anime, somewhere into the Garou arc I think, but One's webcomic (on which Murata's is based) is even further ahead. The end of Volume 4 of the OPM Shounen Jump manga I'd gotten is just where the Deep Sea King arc, with a little extra side story on Puri Puri Prisoner actually in prison with Sonic.

can someone link me where to find the manga or whatever the picture book is called. I have never mangaed so to speak and think the OPM would be a good way to give it a go.

You can check out the links here, under Episode Discussion: I consider Road to Hero to be a Special because it's the same length as a regular episode of OPM, >20 mins, but the OVA's may be a smidgen >10 mins, but fun to watch nonetheless....

i feel like i'm alone in the opinion that murata ruined one punch man with his redraws. i like his art, but i just don't like how much it shifts the focus or the tone that one has in his original web comics. it's kind of lame that it was the outline that the anime is based on, so i just kind of felt annoyed watching the one punch man anime with most things except for the sea king saga. the thing that really helped that bit is the fact that one punch man wasn't in most of it.

the ova's are amazing though. it's mostly speculation on my end, but i feel like those episodes are the ones that one has complete control over. you don't have old japanese businessmen trying to push products down peoples throats.

Yup. You’re alone.

The ****ty-art webcomic already exists. What would be the point of redrawing it if the redraw looked the same?

I don’t think the ****ty-art webcomic’s style would work very effectively as animation.

i'm not saying that having a well drawn one-punch man is a bad thing. what i'm saying is that having an artist like murata take your work and shift emphasis through his stylized drawings is a bad thing.

your essentially giving your work to another director with a certain vision. my main gripe with murata is that he puts way to much focus on one punch man. one punch man himself is a punch line for a elaborate joke that one is setting up, and to have him treated like a serious thing really really affects the way the story comes off. the things that are appealing about one punch man is not the character itself, but how the world around him is effected (and of course how he came to be [origins, influences, etc.]) by him being in it.

it's selfish of me to say i hate the one punch man redraws because of murata, because the redraws are in no way bad. they're just no longer special.

also, bite your damn tongue whenever you berate one's art. he knows where his bread is buttered and the fact that he's able to pump out these great stories without worrying about how good his art will look just makes his art even more charming than muratas.  :mad:

one punch man is using the worlds momentum and the expansion of the universe as the force for his punches. everytime he give a big punch the worlds axis is shifted the the universe expands just a little bit faster.

I feel like the manga redraw and the anime both do a pretty good job of keeping this joke alive. The badass-superhero art style is pitch perfect satirical parody of the superhero comic genre, and helps highlight how ridiculous the characters and world are and emphasize how seriously they take themselves, while the switch back and forth with the alternate dopey style art makes for great punchlines. The voice acting and animation timing on those jokes is also spot on.

I think the whole thing is extremely well done.

Obviously it’s not the same as the original webcomic... that wouldn’t be possible, and IMO isn’t desirable.

bite your damn tongue whenever you berate one's art.
Note, your sentence isn’t idiomatically correct English usage of the word “berate”. You want a word like “criticize”, “lambaste”, “insult”, or similar. “Berate” is something you do to a person, directly to their face: the word comes from “rate”, which long ago was a synonym for “scold”, in a similar construction to “bewilder” or “bedazzle”. You can’t berate artwork.

But anyway, I’m definitely not criticizing One’s art. I think it’s amazing.

well i don't. while i do agree that maybe he's able to capture this occasionally, overall i think it's done in such a sloppy way. he probably doesn't even realize the sort of magnitude his art has in affecting the tone of the story, so i'm not faulting the guy.

You don’t think “****ty-art webcomic” is a reasonable summary of his art style? In my opinion the whole point of the art is to be “****ty”. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. I think it’s perfect. How would you describe the art style of the original webcomic in a few words?

(Note, you can turn off the silly geekhack language filter in your settings; I feel like the bare word itself is less offensive than a version full of ****s.)

It was just a friendly note. When people misuse impressive or “fancy” words, especially in the middle of an argumentative comment, it sometimes seems to others like they’re trying too hard. Most people won’t bother correcting irregular usage, they’ll just silently lower their opinion of the speaker.

I’m not trying to be a jerk by pointing out this mistake; I have no idea whether you’re a native English speaker, what your background is, etc., so that wasn’t intended as some kind of judgment.

If you don’t care about precise word usage, that’s fine by me; most people don’t.

in that sense thanks, i appreciate the note, but you can understand how passive aggressive the tone of that was and how this remark up above me still kind of is. especially when it comes off as a strawman argument.

i'm the sort of guy that sees words as inert. no matter how much you juggle them around there is always room for misunderstanding. but even so, it's a tool of expression to communicate complicated thought, and if i feel that a certain word is proper enough to warrant use, i use it. in my 23 years of being conscious i've read a book or two, so i think i can stand on my own two feet without your help.

also, there is no one way of saying the correct thing. language will constantly evolve and take different shapes. if you were sent back to the 1800s to an english speaking country, your tongue would be alien to them just as much as theirs is alien to you.

so with this frame of thought, i hope you can understand how someone like me might see that the minutia of proper grammar (or grammer) as backwards thinking for the advancement of any sort of whatever.
 
but anyways, i'm glad you think my words sound impressive!  ;)
