If anyone tells you that the animation of One Punch Man is bad, then they're just trying to shit on the show for the sake of shitting on the show. If you enjoyed the parody aspect of it, then the repetitiveness of the joke shouldn't be a problem for you, but if you wanted a bit more than just that, then you won't be getting that from One Punch Man. What kind of show is engaging, but doesn't have an engaging story? Even if that was the point, how is it fun to watch the same thing 12 times? The moment in this case is the same exact thing, with the only differences being how the villains look or where the fight is taking place. Maybe the steps building up to 'the punchline' are different, or maybe you don't exactly engage with 'the punchline' each time. Your daily life as a human being isn't characterized by the same exact thing each time. There should be something that would want to make the watcher come back for more. You could say that being repetitive and anticlimactic is the point of One Punch Man, and it in itself is actually also parodying the repetitive nature of most action shows, but I disagree. Near the end, it was hinted that the focus will eventually shift from the parody aspect to the side characters, something that would benefit the series as the more "Slice of Life" aspects where the strong suit of One Punch Man, but for now, the first season is all we got. The parody is all that One Punch Man seemed to offer, and if you don't like that, than you definitely won't like the show. When a comedy starts to get unappealing, there isn't much that can save that. The problem of One Punch Man getting repetitive may seem like a small thing, but in fact, it really isn't. If you really look at it, it was just Saitama getting beaten up with a variety of attacks. And yes, the final episodes did stray away from that, but even that was just a elongated scene of what was soon going to happen. After seeing a couple of episodes, you know what to expect from it, which really damaged the comedy effect. Because of this, as the series went on, the joke lost its charm as it wasn't special anymore. You can't top off something so exaggerated, similar to how you can't top off beating an enemy with a single punch. With the already ridiculous start of the series, it makes it hard to enjoy the jokes when they are virtually indistinguishable. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but there are problems with that. Rather than making fun of its tropes directly, One Punch Man parodies it instead by over-exaggerating them to the point where it becomes funny. If you are like me, and expected One Punch Man to be a satire, then you will be disappointed. In all honesty, how many shows can you say do that? But does this fulfill the hype, and is this the savior of anime? One Punch Man has got to be one of the most commonly talked about show I've seen this year, even impacting the smash community when one of the smash player's shaved their beard and started using Ryu. But anyways, let's get on with this review. Or maybe you still won't do that, but you'll at least know why some people might like sticking hotdogs up their ass. But I'm hoping that maybe next time you go to the grill, you can ponder on what you're going to do with that hotdog. For all you know, you might just stumble a 4 paragraph post by me describing how shoving hotdogs up your ass is actually a good thing. I would hate it if someone didn't provide both sides to the argument for my favorite show, but keep in mind that I am not authoritative force, and I cannot dictate how or what you should And most of you might get upset over that fact, and even start to hate me for it too. I'm not saying this is going to be a completely balanced review. Something that can make or break this show to several of its viewers. Going back to One Punch Man, I really thought of something. Meeting new allies and taking on new foes, Saitama embarks on a new journey as a member of the Hero Association to experience the excitement of battle he once felt. Saitama, who is shocked that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association in order to become certified heroes that will be recognized for their positive contributions to society. One day, Saitama catches the attention of 19-year-old cyborg Genos, who witnesses his power and wishes to become Saitama's disciple. However, having no one capable of matching his strength has led Saitama to an unexpected problem-he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battling and has become quite bored. Now, Saitama is so powerful, he can defeat any enemy with just one punch. In order to pursue his childhood dream, Saitama relentlessly trained for three years, losing all of his hair in the process. The seemingly unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero.
