(L) One-Punch Man [anticipation]

[jeroz]

speaking of which, Moon now no longer confirmed?

[Dragonria]

The animation was a bit cheap in this part with the Biceps brachi king but the rest was pretty good!
Also, i think it's going to have only 12/13 episodes.

[MisaoFan]

Looks good by far...And I'm glad Makoto Miyazaki got given more musical works! Too bad that the JAM Project opening sounds a bit underwhelming, but I'll get used to it regardless.

It is also rare for a late-night anime airing on TV Tokyo to also show up in BS Japan, perhaps the channel itself just wants to give more exposure there for a while?

Man, that preview episode looked really sick. It had like 10 minutes worth of sakuga. The last part with the underground terrans was fantastic.

Apparently this is also the opening theme.

[Guardian Enzo]

Given that H x H had perhaps more cumulative sakuga than any TV anime ever, I'm not sure why we should be surprised if OPM gets a stellar treatment.

[Gaulek]

A very good episode.
The animation is awesome.
Nice to see Saitama with hair again.

The end was awesome, poor Saitama

[Freeter]

I hope Madhouse saved up enough budget for later, otherwise we'll have to call this One-Frame Man

[LuxorMG]

I hope Shueisha gave Madhouse a gigantic budget to make each episode as good as this. The sakuga was like Murata meets Imaishi at times, so freaking hyped.

Edit: Imaishi who did Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, etc. Love his style.

I doubt that. Even though it had 148 episodes, I would only count the Tomoko Mori episodes as sakuga episodes.
Even with those episodes having good scenes and overal good direction they can't compare to Naruto Sakuga episodes.
But I get the point you're trying to make. It was definitely pretty good for a long running show.
I'm wondering how many episodes OPM will get. I think a split 2 cour would be the best way to go. So they can actually try to follow the manga closely and have more material and at the same time have more time to work on the anime.

That episode was great. Who needs undertitles if you have the glory of Saitama beating superaliens, giants and a crabguy in underwear? XD
His dream sequence was the best especially compared to how weak reality was when those underterrans really came out the next morning. xD

It's sad he doesn't have a peer at all.

I recognize Crabman's VA due to Patlabor and Super Sentai. Shigeru Chiba who throughout the years voiced Monsters.

10/10. Their choice of ending was excellent. It seems they're planing on adapting the manga in sequence of chapters.

[dmaxzero]

This is not helping my Hype. Not. One. Bit.

[monir]

Interesting first episode! I enjoyed it. It's refreshing to see an episode where the hero openly admits he has gotten too strong. Even the achievement of great power can be boring after a while when there is nothing that can challenge such power. How exactly is this show going to stay interesting when the MC can finish any fight with one punch? I'm guessing each story-arc will develop around the events that lead to that one punch?

I guess I'll find out soon enough.

[Wandering Soul]

An amazing episode. Too bad for Saitama, reality was nothing like his dream.

[dmaxzero]

EVERYTHING I WANTED.
Bloody.
Animation was unlimited Budget Works.
And the sound of the punches... I loved the dream fight against the underworld people.

Now my Hype is complete.

[Insaint]

man with this godlike animation...
I cant wait to see boros's spaceship.

[The One Above God]

I remember laughing my ass off when I read the parts that was shown in the anime, but watching the first episode feels...I dunno, kinda sad. Mostly because with how they handled Saitama's monologue and the brief showing of the "fire" in his eyes in some scenes, you can really feel how empty Saitama is.
Damn, expected more laughs and awesomeness. Didn't expect to find some "feels" here .

[MisaoFan]

Spoiler for Episode 1:

Wow, it was already good enough seeing how the animation remains consistent throughout the episode with occasional bursts of top-tier shots, it pretty much felt like I was watching Samurai Flamenco and Ninja Slayer all over again but with actually decent production values. Story-wise, I can expect entertaining superhero action and Saitama was relatable as a main character at least. I'll continue watching it just to feel good about myself once I'm done with serious works.
