Looks good

 

[NightShift]

Oh, wow. First time seeing this and it looks great!

 

[Tizoc]

anyone a "tiny" bit disappointed that mosquito girl has a black and white motiff....

Spoiler

(and not flesh color )

Co-sign, really wish Mosquito Girl'd

Spoiler

come back, I always just assumed she didn't die and was just in hiding from the shock of experience with Saitama

 

[Moaradin]

Damn. The latest trailer got me hyped!

 

[Shadownet]

At firstI was really excited... But then I remembered the Eyeshield 21 anime and got sad.

it wasnt that bad. I enjoyed it.

 

[Wiseblade]

It really is bad. Have you read the manga? Because Murata manages to make the Manga feel better animated than the anime adaptation.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Shit this PV is great, Madhouse is continuing to be my favorite studio. Voice work seems like its ace's as well.

Do you feel worse for finding her attractive now

i watched the eyeshield 21 anime to completion. I thought it was pretty good, the filler was shitty but hey, it's filler. Que to the end of the anime, I decide to read the last few arcs of the manga because they weren't animated. I agree with your post whole-heartedly.

LOL, I mean, would be weird if you felt any other way.

Just to be sure that I wasn't remembering wrong, I watched a couple episodes ES21 and it was just as bad as I remember.

If Madhouse can put out something as good as HxH 2011 I'll be very happy.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Is this a true-to-manga adaptation? I love the manga, I'd say besides Kingdom, Break Blade, Tsuyokute New Saga and Boku no Hero Academia, this is by far my favorite anime. I love Saitama's attitude but I don't think there's currently enough material for an manga, actually scratch that...if Shingeki no Kyojin got away with its content, this can too.

There's probably enough content for at least 2 seasons at the moment.

This show will be amazing if this is the kind of quality we will get for the fight scenes throughout the season.

 

[Allonym]

I guess... Carnage Kabuto would probably be the first major villain, the fish king dude, then the space dude and then garou the first 2 being season 1 and the final 2 being the 2nd season

It didn't leak. There was a pre-screening stream on Nicovideo last night.

 

[Qvoth]

oh man this is THE one show that might get me back to anime
anybody watched the pilot? how was it?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

It pretty much hooked me from the 1st fight which is like in the first 2 minutes of the show. It was hilarious

 

[Barajas_201]

Getting some Samurai Flamenco vibes, if this is anything like that, I'm in! I assume it comes out next season right?

 

[Fireblend]

Very promising stuff. Can't wait.

 

[a secret-boss]

good episode.
I read couple of manga chapters and this episode captured 3-4 chapters?

 

[Moaradin]

Looks like it

 

[Tizoc]

I just want to chime in and say that Mosquito Girl is best girl.

 

[weshes195]

It was amazing! Never been hooked more with a first episode (thought I do love the manga so I could be bias).

I assume he will look less "cool" when he actually interacts with other characters.

Also, the one I watched actually had great subs for most of it. It disappeared halfway through but the subs came back in the ending. It wasn't the best subs, but they were something at least.

 

[Platy]

That was some GREAT animation on that pajama fight =O

 

[Rur0ni]

Nice animation, Madhouse putting in work.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Already impatient for more

 

[Not]

Aghh guys I really don't want to watch this but I can't resist

 

[Heroman]

Saw the pv and it was pretty rad , my only question is why is Tornado of Terror in it , I dont think she is even in the first couple of arcs?

 

[Rushersauce]

Nothing lke that. IT'S ONE PUNCH MAN!!!

Couldn't resist and I watched it. Man, that "HE IS IN YOUR SHOULDER, KILL IT" scene was so perfect.

 

[Tizoc]

She isn't but I think the anime wants to play up her character?
She is a short small girl and you know how Japan likes that :V

holy fucking shit

 

[Not]

Holy shit. Even without subs, looks like they're nailin' it.

 

[Tobe]

just saw it IM LAUGHING MY ASS OFF HAHAHAH ITS SO CLOSE TO THE MANGA ITS UNREAL !!!!!! MUST WATCH

 

[Dahbomb]

Yup this is going to be a classic (like the manga). That action scene at the end was RIDICULOUS!

 

[Nocebo]

Great first episode. The comedic timing was a bit off compared to the manga in my opinion but it's pretty good overall. I hope they can keep it up.

 

[Pappasman]

That was excellent. I was shocked at how accurate they were to the panels in the manga. OPM is one of my favorite series already and this was a great first episode.

If they keep the quality up we could have something really special on our hands here.

 

[Tizoc]

So like
this airs in 48 hours
Can't wait XO
Although the first few arcs are OK, I can't wait til we get to him being

Spoiler

with the Hero Alliance/whatever and ish gets wackier.

 

[Jigolo]

What the hell with the spoilers, breh. I've never read anything about this

 

[Nightbird]

So, who's going to make the OT about it?

 

[duckroll]

So, who's going to make the OT about it?

I think you just volunteered!

 

[SharkJAW]

I forgot about this! I absolutely love the manga and the PVs are looking fantastic. Saitama is my favorite hero of all time. His backstory, the villains' backstory, the Saturday sale, his "secret" to power: all things that contribute to the absolute fantastic series that is One Punch Man.

 

[Dereck]

In

 

[kurahador]

Waiting for new manga chapter is so fucking tedious as Murata re-drawing old chapters.
Glad we'll have this to scratch the itch.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

So, who's going to make the OT about it?

I think you just volunteered!

I already have one ready!

I called it in the OT for OTs

Here it is.

 

[zeopower6]

From the name "One Punch Man", it sounds like exactly the kind of bad that Japan is really good at.

You should see the original version lol.

Apparently this was listed at 1 cour on a streaming site.

You just saved my ass xD
Also, your OT is much better than everything I could have done

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Now that it's over, thought it was a good time for a crow bump.

At firstI was really excited... But then I remembered the Eyeshield 21 anime and got sad.

Will probably end up being the first manga with better animation than it's show.

Urghhh...this series would've work better as 1 hour OVA releases every 2-3 months.

Expect alot of downgrade in action sequences with tv series tight budget.

Truth.

Pretty much.

Like others said, they'll probably fuck it up.

I'll flipbook the manga for better framerate

I see no way they can make this is live up to the source material, but I so hope they do a good job of it.

This post will probably have more frames than an average episode.

When a manga looks this good, you only wonder if it is really necessary. It would be a completely different story if only One's version existed.

i don't know maybe if it was a ova i'd be more hopeful.

Should be short episodes - five to fifteen minutes long - animated following ONE's style rather than Murata's. Of course it'll just look like the eyeshield anime or something. RIP

Oh my God that art is incredible.

Theres no way the anime will be able to live up to that.

Yeah, it's not living up to Murata's art. Probably will live up to ONE's though.

Have low hopes for this turning out well but will check it out when it comes out.

It won't look as good as the manga, but awesome news.

No fucking way it'll live up to the manga.

They'll need a Murata clone army to do that.

It won't live up to Murata's art at all, but hopefully it's still nicely animated.

I'll be surprised if the animation is half as good as the manga's art.

This. Remaining skeptical for now, but I'd love to be proven wrong

Happy to be wrong!

 

[Nightbird]

I may have not say that, but I was also sceptical of the project, but I'm more than happy that I've been proven wrong.
