Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

George Taylor One of the best superhero satires ever made, One Punch Man is, basically, the story of a guy who wills himself to become the most powerful hero of all time. I've only seen the first season, and I hope to see more. One Punch spends most of his time bored - as few if any can survive one of his blows. My second favorite character is the short tempered green haired telekinetic heroine, Tornado. This really has to be watched because it is so damn funny.

srupane So happy to have seen this. Its looks a bit goofy at first, but you'll love it.

CinematicSyndrome There's nothing not to love about the show, from its amazing and delightful characters to its non conventional take on superheroes and being hilarious every time. Saitama is freakin amazing but so are the supporting heroes including Genos. Their student-master relation is as entertaining to watch as the stupendously choreographed action scenes. MadHouse delivers yet another winner. Simply cannot wait for the next season.Verdict: Perfectly Badass.

zenchinc The concept, an invincible hero that can defeat anyone with one punch, turned me off to the series initially. It's the same reason I'm not a fan of Superman, he's too powerful and it's boring.However, what's fun and keeps me interested in One Punch Man (OPM) are: 1. humor: the comedy and one liners in this series are hilarious (e.g. Genos as modern art). Since this show was initially a satire, observing the series as such makes it much more enjoyable. It uses tropes and expands on them or pokes fun at them: what if a person was all powerful, then he'd be extremely bored. Also, Saitama is essentially a Goku character and the show doesn't hide this" hero to come and save everyone" trope, but lays it out.2. the hope of a villain that can take more than one punch: Boros and Garou are the only two known characters to be in this category and I'm curious to see what the fight between Garou and Saitama would look like, even though we all know whose going to win.3. side characters: these characters are not invincible and have their own backstories and enemies that adds to the drama and action of the show. When these characters fight or take up screen time, I get pulled in because there's no longer that promise they'll really survive and they also have their own demons.Still, the show gets the 8 only because it's just a fun show and doesn't really delve deeper into the message it tries to give or get even more meta on it's genre. If it explored moral themes and made even more fun of its genre, it would help.
