No. Why?

It's a pretty terribly produced show by Madhouse, think he was using it as an example
In the meantime read the HunterXHunter Manga

Then move on to Beserk...
After that read Yotsubato
Followed by Attack on Titan.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
So far my favorite thing about this series besides its satirical nature is the way Saitama goes between derp mode and supreme badass mode.
It represents both parts of his character (depressed loser and strongest man in the world) so well. The concept of a character that is both of those things is amazing on its own but the way its represented like this makes it even better. The best part is how generically shonen he looked
before going bald, and how he subverted that part of his character almost right away.
Episode 6 is up next. The fact that this is only a 12 episode series is going to burn eventually, but it can't be helped. It's been forever since a new anime has been this amusing.

I hope this isn't serious

This is amazing and I hope there's more like it with other shonen heavy hitters.

did you miss the one of Saitama and more manga badasses walking looking menacing and the shonen protags are terrifed?

I mean like this overall structure. The common trope of shonen fighter with a "wait what" face because the opponent is right behind them in blistering speed. When I read Bleach, this was done sooooo damn much to "raise the stakes" it just became routine.
but true to form, Saitama face makes it funny, especially with a characters that's known to be OP as well . That's what I meant.

He wants a meme where you swap out Sonic with every shounen protagonist and more. Not gonna lie, I want one too. Make this bigger than that umbrella interview meme!

I don't know, can't sasuke use that eye technique where the dudes get mentally tortured for 72 hours? Is saitama's mind strong enough to handle all that?

Gag character > serious character
it's as simple as that dude. They can come up with a million reasons as to why a gag character can win or isn't affected by something.
Yes, it is. Saitama could solo the Narutoverse honestly, and this isn't me being a fanboy.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
The real star of this episode was Saitama's facial expressions. And I have to admit, I actually enjoyed Spring Mustache. He felt like something out of One Piece.

Is it time for the thread to devolve into power level wanking?
Anyway Saitama is a gag character so he can beat pretty much anyone. Jotaro from that image would also wreck em, he would only need 4 seconds

Best wanking. Nothing gets me juicier than tiers and vs. battles.

So I just started this yesterday.....and caught up today. All the Facebook videos of Saitama doing funny crap finally made me check this out and I'm glad I did. This show is the perfect mix of badass and hilarious. On that note, is the Sound dude voiced by Sasuke's Japanese VA? And is he supposed to be a Sasuke parody?
It ain't a Dragonball homage "kinda"? In this animation it is pretty clearly a nod to the Kamehameha. The zoom in on the eye. The stance. Hands together. The one open hand, like holding a ball. The soundtrack also sounds a bit like "kamehameha" without actually saying the exact words.
ehh i dunno, that final boss goddess (don't remember the name) might be able to beat saitama
and i think the lyric is "i wanna be such a hero"
It's not, but going into why it isn't is a manga spoiler.
He'd just punch the eye technique right in the face.
No one defeats OPM.
Actually, this might work!
Yah I thought about that too, its why I don't think the training is what granted him his powers, it.only enhanced them
Kenshiro would also wreck them, Hokuto Shinken is OP as fuck and does pretty much everything
Power level wanking is still better than waifu discussions anyway
I beg to differ because
the move in the intro is subtly different from what's in the manga. As are many other things in the anime, by the way. This difference is what makes it a nod to the kamehameha.

That implies Sasuke can manipulate Saitama's chakra flow, if he even have any. Impossible.
should stack up okay
