    This is a great example for bad anime shows

    Are you kidding me? the dialog was so bad it was painfull. it seems like whoever painted this just wanted to have fun, so they just exploded everything, did just whatever they wanted without even trying to write something good. the plot is awefull. this is so bad, stay away from this. this is the opposite of a good anime show.

    Interesting first episode.

    I'm not really an anime person but my friend asked me to give this one a shot. I will say that it looks pretty interesting. The main character is quirky and unique. The enemies are doubly unique and I enjoyed seeing their designs -- I hope there will be more of that in future episodes.

    Gotta say, though... I sure would hate to live in this city! The action sequences were all well-done (to me, anyway; someone who doesn't typically watch this kind of thing).

    I will continue with this show in the hopes of enjoying it.

    I tried again

    After trying season 1 years ago I've come back to see if this show has any improvements from its previous lackluster state.

    And nope.

    This review was made on May day the 28th of year 2023 in century 21st.

    Please go check out my original review on the OP page. I'm a prolific reviewer and everyone seemed to love my review HA!

    Here we go season 2 ep 1 and it's so full an unamusing. The only plus is the 23 minutes passed by quick.

    I don't think this show is meant for people outside of the One Punch man cult. This episode didn't engage me at all. I'll try one more episode. If that fails too then I'll move on from this hash.

    • Trivia
      The first villain Saitama encounters is Vaccine Man, whose character design resembles Piccolo from the Dragonball and DragonBall Z anime. Christopher Sabat is the English voice actor for both Vaccine Man and Piccolo. Another villain that Saitama comes across in this episode is Marugori, whose character design is very similar to a titan from the series Attack on Titan. Bryce Papenbrook does the voice acting for Marugori, and also for Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan.
