The way Saitama handled that was incredible and should give the viewer respect for him. For example, the incident with the Tank Top brothers berating Saitama after the meteor incident for not saving the city. I feel One Punch Man is strongest story-wise when internal conflicts are happening. As One Punch Man moves along with each episode, there is conflict happening, ranging from internal (Saitama and his hero status) to external (monsters causing chaos). We get to know our two main characters along with other characters that play roles throughout the plot. We see our two main characters, Saitama and Genos, move up and become heroes, which does show some progression, even if it is slight.
There is a story as it moves very smoothly and patiently by, following our characters and showing conflict, chaos, and interaction throughout the series. another one? Let’s fight it!” setting, but that’s just the beginning of appeal for the series. Besides the parodies, you don’t have to know Japanese humor to get the jokes, whereas in another anime comedy series, you might need to know some humor that is common in Japan.Īgain, comedy is subjective, but the one joke that got me laughing is when Saitama is fighting Carnage Kabuto and he realizes that he missed the special bargain sale at his supermarket, causing him to obliterate Carnage Kabuto in just, you guessed it, one punch! The story may seem repetitive in the sense of a “Oh, monster shows up, defeat it. Whenever this series tries to be funny, it makes sure that you’re in on the joke. But with One Punch Man, I felt the comedy was very entertaining, enjoyable, and humorous. With comedy, not every joke will be funny to all viewers, since comedy is very subjective. An example would be when Genos is giving his information dump of a backstory and we can clearly see Saitama, representing us, the viewer, become agitated by the on-going speech, clearly a poke at the way some series tends to deliver their information or backstory of a character. As for parodies, it’s obvious that Superman is one of the main heroes being parodied here, but it does parody other tropes of shonen that we all see very often as well. One Punch Man is an action-based series with comedy and parody elements that make fun of your typical, standard shonen and superhero stereotypes, cliches, tropes, and habits.
