Penulis Hello Minna! Meet again with admin! Today we will be reviewing an anime that is very good to watch for you who love anime action and comedy genre. Anime which we will review today is One Punch Man.
One Punch Man is an anime that booming in the internet world by the end of 2015. This anime is much talked about in social media, even its main character is often compared with other anime characters. I am very interested in this anime because of the action-comedy genre.
One Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, a man who became a superhero for a hobby. His power is a deadly punch that can kill giant monsters with just one punch. Since then, Saitama has been known as One-Punch Man, according to the title of its manga.
Initially, Saitama was just a depressed unemployed because it was rejected by some companies. One day, he helped a boy from a gigantic monster. Since that time, he was motivated to become a hero. The motivation made him continue to practice by doing the push-up, sit up, and squat jump 100 times and running 10 miles per day until all his hair is bald. But the result of the exercise is a deadly boxing that can defeat his enemy with one punch. It's a bit hard to accept, but that's the way it is.
Along with his journey, One Punch Man meets Genos who is a cyborg teenager. Genos then decided to become a pupil of Saitama because awe of Saitama's power that can kill a female mosquito monster with one punch. And then, both of them register themselves to the superhero association and start fighting together.
Actually, these two figures are contradictory to each other. Genos basically can hardly die because a cyborg keeps on figuring out how to be super powerful like the teacher. While Saitama aka One Punch Man actually feel sad and bored because it becomes very strong and almost without weakness. Each fight goes flat with no challenge, not at all like the hero of his desire where it gets the exciting fight of tough enemies.
The character design is given in this anime so far is still satisfactory. The depiction of a simple main character typical manga gag but still quite firmly typical action-shounen manga was still maintained. Even if considered the artwork One Punch Man is much more towards the action-shounen. While the humor is more emphasis on this anime script that also experienced some changes from the manga version.
Originally, One Punch Man is a manga fun project by a mangaka known as ONE. This series began to be published on June 3, 2009 and got more than 55 million readers. Yusuke Murata (manga author Eyeshield 21) then invites ONE to work together to create a manga version in 2012. This anime itself was released in October 2015 with Shingo Natsume as a director and written by Tomohiro Suzuki. In the first season, One Punch Man series release with 12 episodes and an additional 6 episodes of OVA. The second season itself is expected to be released this year. Well, we have to wait!
So for you who have not watched One Punch Man before, you have to watch this anime because highly recommended.
