I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this (and if there is, I'm goddamn sorry, but I looked twice and didn't see shit). BUT ONE PUNCH-MAN IS THE GREATEST MANGA OF ALL TIME and an anime just got green-lit so there is no excuse not to be showered in its amazingness. IF YA DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT you fucking loser, One Punch-Man follows Saitama, an average joe made average hero who's become so incredibly strong that he can defeat any monster, demon, or whatever with a single punch. And this has left a slight hole in his heart, because now he's bored with his super hero duties, which he doesn't even get credit for in the first place. It's dumb, hilarious, and has gorgeous art. SO LET'S DISCUSS.
​
 
OH MY GOD THIS MANGA IS INCREDIBLE
I started reading One Punch Man last Sunday and I AM SO INTO IT NOW. The premise is so simple and a bit risky, but an amazing story is built around it. Equal parts comedy and action, with a bit of drama thrown in, One Punch Man is a super hero themed adventure that you just can't find anywhere else. Honestly I would go as far as to say that ANYONE would enjoy reading this story. Trust me, I've actually never read manga before One Punch Man.

Basically, READ IT YOU FUCKING NERD.
 
Just started recently, but Saitama is so nonchalant about being a superhero it's hilarious. It's like a slice of life character living in a super serious action manga, it's great so far

Looking forward to the anime that's coming up
 
That's what I'm trying to say, though.
What if they mess up and go "well, let's make him more hero-like," or, "He has to sound aggressive and tough!"
I've seen it happen before D:
 
If anything they'll play up the "nothing phases him" aspect in his voice rather than the "action protagonist", like he's just bored of everything since he can end any fight instantly

EDIT Cast and crew will be announced next week

That...
Actually sounds worse. As long as it's not the VA just reading off the script or too "action protagonist"-y I'm content~

I don't know them well, I just hope they can capture the strength of the action like Trigger.
 
Apparently they're the ones who made Cowboy Bebop. Outlaw Star, Gundam, and many more great anime.
Though, I've honestly only watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
 
Yeah they're very good anime, but I'm more worried about the animation. I want it to look like the Meteor Chapters.
I have no doubt that the adaptation is gonna be a hit, I just hope that it's visually stunning at the same time.
 
Sunrise is a pretty big company. I'm sure the animation will be fine. We'll have to see at Anime Japan this upcoming weekend.

Thank goodness. I was fearing the worst, and thinking it might end up in one of Jump Publishing's go-to animation houses. I wonder how the show will be structured/paced, considering how much of the early chapters consist of short gags and such.
 
I think it was cool that Prisoner remembered the Sea King's words and turned it into Dark Angel Rush.
Little things like that are signs of good writing.

Voice actor of Saitama is Makoto Furukawa (Shigou Kakei in Aldnoah Zero, Yutaro Kindaichi in Haikyuu), and the voice actor of Genos is Kaito Ishikawa (Tobio Kageyama in Haikyuu, Marcos Eringrad Garcia in Terra Formars, "Nine" in Terror in Resonance/Zankyou no Terror).

The director of Space Dandy will be directing this anime.

I can't think of a more perfect studio/director combo. The only thing better would be if Murata occasionally did Key Frames or something, cause that guy is like a one-man animation team by himself.
