I loved the 2nd episode more than the first, the show, the pacing, the laughs... This show it's almost perfect.

Best new manga I've read since the 90s/early 2000s. Can't stand the other stuff.

It's simple and straightforward with a clean art style.

I share this sentiment. Amazing so far. I'm not gonna bother with the manga if this is that good. Fucking amazing show.

Man I love this intro, glad to see that they showed the second best hero in it. Hopefully they add the Murata chapter of (manga spoiler)
License-less Rider
, pretty great chapter.

Seeing the mosquito bit on his balcony completely animated made it 100% more entertaining. Zero complaints so far.

paid requisite penance
I'm amazed that an anime gets this kind of production value in this day and age, especially a parody show.

It's awesome, can't wait for episode 3. I'm gonna recommend it to all my friends.
 
It's identical to the web manga by ONE, except it's drawn by Yusuke Murata. Looks great.
It's no longer identical. Murata has slightly altered the story in non-significant ways and has now started adding his own filler chapters (which are awesome in their own right).

ONE's version is funny, but part of the joke with Murata's is how hyper-crazy the art is compared with the totally slack-ass Saitama, so if the animation of the show wasn't at least Murata's equal it wouldn't nearly be as funny.

Also it looks sick

I think for the sake of anime only watchers, we should avoid posting manga images until after the episode they appear in air? ^^;

That and how they revert to ONE's Saitama at times in the manga and show edit. Oh wait's that you what you basically meant to say.

I do think One's manga has much better pacing than Murata though, Murata tends to go heavy into the eye porn where ONE just gets to the point.

And there's the one other character who pops into the ONE art every now and then. But that's a while later.

lmao I was just reading one of those "saitama vs goku" threads on another forum and the people in there were actually getting angry at each other. Like, how silly must you be to actually get mad because of stuff like that? It makes for good entertainment though.

Dude, DBZ battle threads are the fucking worst. They gave us "standing at lightspeed" though, so it's all good.

I like that he's self-conscious about his baldness and that discussing it seems to bother him. I can relate ;-;



I think it's regarding manga spoilers in general. We had a long discussions in black bars last page.

The post literally said manga images, lol. Plus, if it's defined as a manga spoiler, there's no reason for an anime only watcher to click them

I like to see more people appreciating the artistry of ONE~

now if you do like OPM go read Mob Psycho 100

Webcomic spoilers:
If you are talking about Garou, then Saitama didn't put any effort into fighting him because he knew Garou wasn't actually trying to kill anybody.
that's not really true though.
Saitama used at least one "super move serious series" against him. which means that in a way he was ''serious'' and he did put more effort into fighting him than any other fight. now how serious he actually was and how much % of his power used we have no idea.
plus that's easily the best arc, season 3 - 2022 hype
I know it's the anime OT and we shouldn't discuss about the manga/comic etc., I'm sorry. :^

What would be a more accurate translation?
this is what he says in the original version. which is pretty much what horriblesubs translated in the first episode "just a guy who's a hero for fun", more literally he says "hobby" instead of "for fun" but I think that the latter works better. people can take a lot of liberties while translating but "just an average guy who serves as an average hero" is pretty much made up, I suppose the meaning is more or less the same.
I remember seeing a picture about this so I thought maybe the OT title was using that as a joke or whatever.

Woah
Well I take back my previous post
They sure covered a lot in this episode o_O

Genos' backstory was my least fav. part though mainly because the manga delivery was better.

I felt the joke work better in anime form sense in the manga I just skip must of it.

Agreed.

Also he slowly accelerated his speed of enunciation, which was excellent. I was watching it with a friend and we both turned to each other at the same time like, "Is he...?" And yeah he was. It was good, very good.

Where did you read that Murata is the one adding things and making changes to the story? I would assume ONE is still in charge of the story and storyboarding.

Eh, I disagree. In the manga it's just a wall of text that gives the joke away too quickly. The buildup in the anime with the music was better.

Thanks for creating the thread OP cos it's very likely I'd have missed this show otherwise!

Genos' monologue absolutely killed me as did Saitama's reaction to it. I can't wait to see where this story goes after seeing the first two episodes.
