(L) One-Punch Man

[The 48th Ronin]

Damn, the fight is a blast. Brings back a lot of memories. Then that ending song almost made me cry since I remembered that this might be the last time I'll see Saitama again on anime. Nevertheless, it's a hell of a ride this season, worthy of being one of the best animes of this year.

10/10

I laughed. So hard.

Really Onepunch-Man really works as a parody, but parodies building upon it's already parodic nature? Classic.

We also had Gelganshup say that Boros could have wiped out Earth in less than ten days (assuming without Meteoric Burst, which is a last resort that costs him his life expectancy) in the first popularity poll.

Of course these words are from his follower so take it with a grain of salt.

When asked, ONE simply said Boros was above dragon, and didn't specify him a god level.
I have a feeling he is reserving that spot for, well, an actual god.

I lost it.

It was amazing.

Can anyone make an animesuki friendly sig of the part where Boros first knees Saitama?

[Myssa Rei]

Oh hey, another Freeze-Frame Bonus moment this episode: in 22:48, we see the notebooks filled with Genos' notes, and if you know enough Japanese, you'll see that they detail what he probably was able to wheedle out of Saitama about his fight with Boros, including how Saitama wanted to prove that he DID get blasted to the moon since he had a moon rock with him... but lost it.

Nice nod to the extra chapter there, ahaha.

Episode 12:
Looks like Madhouse fully-delivered the hype that is One-Punch Man starting with a serious battle between Saitama and Lord Boros, although the former would win over the latter!

Anyways, it's sad that we'll have to wait for a year or two in regards to Season 2, but I'm happy that Madhouse did a solid adaptation!

Don't forget that Disaster Ranking is NOT power level

His punch is so hard, it invaded other worlds

[Iron Maw]

I wonder what the effect of "Serious Consecutive Punches" would look like... impact of several supernovas going off? And how much of whoever got hit would be left?

You gotta have a chuckle how atypical this final battle went. Normally the reverse of what happened here would be Hero putting up a good fight, but clearly struggling against odds beyond here. Boros vs Saitama basically destructs all of that violent. You know something off when a infamous Galactic Warlord becomes nothing more than childsplay as soon as he steps into the wrong backwater planet.

But I guess we can say with this that literally nothing on earth can beat Saitama huh?

Well regardless, great episode to cap off the this show. Though I could have done without that "Hero shaming" rehash from that useless Amai Mask guy.

The song is "悲しみたちを抱きしめて" (Kanashimi-tachi o dakishimete), sung by Hiroko Moriguchi, and it is the B-track to the ED single.

First Ore Monogatari (fine for me), then Overlord (good) and OPM (great). Madhouse is surely the 'Anime Studio of the Year' for me.

Gonna wait for the rest of OADs & its spinoff (not really sure is Mob Psycho 100 really the spinoff of OPM or not) to release, hope the time to announce second season adaptation is not long as wait for a new Half-Life game to release....

Or Amai Mask. He may be useless at repelling alien invasions, but if you need to murder some helpless prisoners, he's definitely your man. I can see where his confidence comes from.

Metal Knight built the HQ of the Associations without him, a lot of them will be dead with the city.
He is usefull even though he isn't a "real hero" like License-less rider.

How bout the background music they insert into the anime? Anyone knows the BGM? I kinda like the music.

Also saitama didn't neutralize the blast, he weaken it and split it in two.

Also you are going under the assumption that there will only one god level threat and that is the reason Boros was not call god by ONE but that assumption could be wrong.

Can you actually read? You brought up his lieutenants saying they were weak so Boros couldn't have been strong. That's not even reasoning. We only ever saw 1 of his lieutenants fight multiple S class heroes and the other two got one punched by Saitama, which isn't really saying anything. Their strength doesn't say anything about Boros' and they don't ahve to because Boros proved his strength when he took multiple punches from Saitama. Boros is strong.

Bad guys giving themselves titles is a custom. It's not boasting. It's a recognition of their achievements. Sea King ruled the seas so he's king of the seas. Boros razed the galaxy so that makes him "Dominator of the Galaxy."

Splitting it in two would mean it was only slightly stronger than Boros' attack. Whereas annihilating the middle section of the blast would require much greater strength. Saitama's tanked Boros' attacks like they were nothing and his punches would've killed Boros if it weren't for his regenerative ability. A serious punch should way outclass Boros's strongest attack.

No I'm not. Quit making stuff up. Nothing I wrote implied that. I'm saying ONE's saving god for something stronger. Whether that be a single being or a class of beings. Although considering the rarity of even an above dragon level threat, it'd be surprising if we got more than one god class threat.

The last episode was great too bad that's the last episode.... i was wondering if anyone knows what is the viewer ratings for one punch man is it like top 10 in japan for anime series showing on tv now? if it's pretty high ratings shouldn't it have another season?

"Thanks for watching the final episode of One Punch Man!
Please look forward to seeing Saitama and co animated on TV some day again!"

Also,
Nico-nama airing of One Punch Man had the VA of Saitama say "we'll see you again around this time next year!" as Saitama sock puppet.


Hell. Yeah.

Nothing set in stone, but enough to get pumped.

Considering there is not enough material for another season most likely even in a year, I wonder if the bolded part implies that we get some kind of "short" (5 min per ep) or another round of OVAs that shows the various side stories that were not adapted.

By next year this time, there would be 5 volumes of Murata-ver. OPM out that's past the anime, plus whatever Tonarino YJ serialization that hasn't been collected yet for volume 13 at that point.
Anime covered 7 out of 10 volumes out, and Murata consistently release two volumes a year.

So yeah, they'll either have to stretch out 5 volumes, go ahead of Murata's re-draw by a volume or so, or throw in originals to pad it out.


..... OR, Murata follows up on his word that he'll do everything he can do get another season, and pump out double the amount and actually get 4 volumes worth of material out in 2016.
