Man, this series is amazing in so many ways.

Setting aside the fact that it's simply the most entertaining take on superheroes in any modern media to date, the fact that they have 3 versions of this story running, and all of them are worthwhile and relevant to watch, each version that follows adding more details and gags than the one before it...

It's a modern marvel. They're both accurate to the source material and yet add spades on top of it.

Sadness that the anime will be over soon for the season... but there's not that much source material to work with, and this is a great ending point.

Yeah. Now that the anime is wrapping up we can safely say MadHouse remained completely faithful to the source while including their own bits that only enriched the story. I'd love to see what they'd do with a second season and more material to flesh out the cast, who are mostly just now being introduced.


Edit: New page, woo~

I love the fact that the animation team put attention to the bullets spinning.

That scene is actually my only gripe with the episode. They really undersold the velocity of those shells, both falling and when Tats sent them flying back.

 

[Xamtheking]

Madhouse should just make little shorts of Saitama doing funny things after S1 ends

 

[105.Will]

Fucking nailed it.

This will be getting a lot of use.

 

[Dennis]

Wait, so Saitama could NOT kill this guy with One Punch?

One Punch Man is no more.

There are a nice chunk of bonus chapters in Murata's web version that are mostly this, or of another Hero. Shame we won't see them animated as well.

i just want an animated compilation of saitama helping out little kids who then proceed to say "thanks uncle", and then saitama saying "don't call me uncle"

i love it when he does that, idk why

 

[Dennis]

Fucking nailed it.

My first thought on seeing this part of the episode was: "This will be a gif"

 

[Heroman]

One Punch Man is no more.

Spoiler

He could if he really wanted to

what is this from??

 

[GaimeGuy]

So, how do Groribas, Geluganshp, and Melzalgald stack up compared to Carnage Kabuto?

 

[Sealed]

what is this from??

there are one or two side stories in the manga where he does this

i'll try to find them

So, how do Groribas, Geluganshp, and Melzalgald stack up compared to Carnage Kabuto?

as far as I know all of them are around Dragon level threats

 

[Heroman]

All 3 of them are dragon level threat.

10 punch man..

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

Saitama can control his power.

He doesn't go in full power with every punch. In fact, we still haven't seen his full power stuff yet really.

He also punched the suit off that bald egg head guy

Probably the same thing

 

[Sealed]

fuck i can't find the uncle thing

Same! Those bits crack me up.

One of the funniest exchanges he has with kids.

It wasn't a serious punch.

 

[midramble]

Dear lord, with how well that was animated I really really can't wait for the monster association.

 

[Dennis]

Anyone else think it was kind of a low blow for Saitama to go left when the telekinetic octopus alien told him to go right?

Remember Saitama, you are supposed to be a hero.

he used to be a hero for fun.

Also the evil anime smile he made was worth 1000 shitty goody two shoes heroes.

what chapter is this??

 

[GaimeGuy]

Remember Saitama, you are supposed to be a hero.

Aliens just destroyed a city, what would be heroic about leaving their ship in the middle of a frontal assault?

Saitama was lost and wanted to go deeper into the ship. So he went the opposite of the way out.

 

[Aaronology]

what chapter is this??

It's at the end of a flashback to 12 year old Saitama, in one of the (many) bonus chapters Murata keeps pumping out. Somewhere between chapters 20 and 22, IIRC.

 

[Phatmac]

Was busy watching football to make my post but it was probably my favorite episode. Lots of great animation for the main fight made it hype as hell. Madhouse truly delivered the best moments from the manga. Best scene in the whole series was great too.

 

[Alucrid]

next week is going to be a sad week

 

[Dennis]

next week is going to be a sad week

Sundays just won't be the same without Two Punch Man.

 

[Sealed]

never change dennis

 

[jstripes]

What? I thought there was more. At least another season.

 

[Heroman]

There another season, it just 2+ years always.

 

[jstripes]

There another season, it just 2+ years always.

Ah. Like Adult Swim.

 

[duckroll]

As long as the anime BD sales aren't total garbage, I expect that there will be another season at around this time next year. There shouldn't really be much concern about there being a lack of material, since the anime is also helping promote the manga, which means they have lots of incentive to release more volumes of the manga within the next year, possibly with OADs like Vol10.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I think I'm more excited for Murata to speed up his process then a s2 after reading the webcomic, lol

Also I think the OPM anime is doing well for an adaptation

The manga is one of the best selling mangas in Japan right now, it's safe to say there will be a second season. I hope its 24 episodes though.

Though someone did a rough estimate of the remaining chapters of the webcomic and calculated that it would be enough for 12 episodes.

The manga however will have extra material so I think they can get to that 24 number with the next arc.

[Moaradin]

Murata potentially working on a faster schedule does have me excited lol

Been rewatching Venture Bros with my friend. He's loving it. And season 6 comes out next year. Huzzah!

How are manga sales so far? Or blu-rays if they've released them in sets of episodes yet?

I want this to be as popular in Japan as it appears to be with Western audiences. Because yeah we may love it but if it bombs in Japan...

I can't tell if Genos is touched, or jealous that Saitama isn't praising him

 

[Sealed]

was Eyeshield 21 a weekly or monthly manga?

Murata has drawn manga on a consistent schedule before, but I think the digital release format gives him more freedom on when he can draw, so I guess he's going to tighten it up?

I can't wait to see the end of the arc he's on drawn by him.

One Punch Man is the 11th best selling manga in Japan in 2015

didn't realize seven deadly sins was that popular. I kind of lost interest while watching the anime.

and great to know.

 

[kyo2004]

Re-reading ONE's webcomic, I think it's possible to get a Season 2 if Madhouse go with this version... It's impressive the accuracy of the panels and the anime segments (obviously without the vastly enhancements of Murata's work)...

Sadly, we must wait maybe 2/3 years for this (if they confirm a 2nd season)...

 

[Platy]

Best comparison ever

 

[slightconfuse]

Love this series to much. Really nailed the look and feel of the manga

Animation is top notch

Murata and One are really slow with the releases atm.

Murata's version just went with the Metal bat stuff right now so they'll probably have to add that to the anime.
