Does One Punch Man Live Up To The Hype? (My Thoughts)

Two week ago on this very day, I finished a anime so epic you can say it can knock you out with ONE PUNCH.


Summary
One Punch Man was the hype news for a while, many groups and memes were created to share their appreciation for the show. However the question many who did not watch the show nor read the manga gotta be asking  "Does it live up to it's reputation?"

The whole premise of the show can be pretty much be summed up in the title One Punch. Funny thing is some battles take more than one punch which i found hilarious. Anyhow the story follows a unemployment man that goes by the name Saitama. Saitama encounters a monster and decides he wants to fulfill his childhood dream of being a hero.


Defeating monsters with One Punch on a daily basis Saitama battles eventually become dule and too easy. With each passing day Saitama waits for the opponent that can give him a battle that he so longs for.


My Thoughts

At first I actually didn't want to watch this show because i thought it was lame. The title "One Punch Man" sounded like it was one of those cliche superhero shows. After my Facebook feed was flooded with One Punch Man content, I decided to give it a go.

BOY WAS I WRONG!  IT WAS AMAZING!

Saitama's relax and comical approach to situation set the tone of the show. Most of the time he doesn't really care and puts on this goofy look, but when serious events occur such as if someone might get hurt, the bad ass side of Saitama comes out.


Most of the time TOO OVERLY powered characters get a lot of hate and bad ratings such as Kirito from Sword art Online. The thing that makes Saitama different from your typical OP is that he doesn't act likes hes OP also is able to relate to everyone around him and not just the characters in the show but also us as viewers. His willingness too take a hit for the greater good will always leave a tear in your eye.

Of course you got many other characters that have their time in the spotlight too and i could mention them but i rather you guys watch it, if you haven't already.

Overall good show that really gets you engaged. I mean i finished the whole 12 episodes in 1 day ! Not many anime have done that to me before. I can say with good confidence that it does live up to the hype!
