This show reminds me alot of Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Battlefront) only with a wild twist. This takes an interesting twist for our MC; Saitama. Instead of over-coming a OP villain, its put the other way around, he is too powerful for his own good; hence nothing is good for him anymore; no battle worth his time. He feels empty.... or is he???
Plot - The story takes place in the fictional Japanese metropolis of City Z. The world is full of strange monsters that mysteriously appear and cause disasters. Saitama, the protagonist, is an exceptionally powerful hero who easily defeats the monsters or other villains with a single punch. However, due to his overwhelming strength, Saitama has become bored with his powers and is constantly trying to find stronger opponents who can fight him.
On his adventures, he meets new friends, enemies, and his own disciple, the cyborg Genos, and joins the Heroes Association in order to gain fame for all of his efforts to defeat evil. Despite defeating many strong monsters that even the Heroes Association’s top members are unable to defeat, Saitama struggles to gain respect. Most people look down on him due to his plain physical appearance, and some accuse him of being a counterfeit hero. Only a small number of individuals recognize his incredible talent and humility towards others.
The show goes too much on moster attacks; it doesnt really provide us with a 'daily life of...' aspect of Saitama although, in the first episode we find out the how and the why he wanted to become one. We also near the end of the episode we see a number of different monster attacks.... along with that; at the end of the episode: We see a strange cyborg figure who is 'apparently' called: Genos (The Demon Cyborg).
Animation & Sound: Madhouse has done the animation.... and it was awesome. Just very amazing, very scene is fluid and lively, every scene was detailled. Just so, so, good. Music wise its pretty catchy, the opening theme song for One Punch and.... the the general tone of the music is awesome. Just awesome, just amazingly awesome.
The show takes an interesting turn for the super-hero genre, it feels somewhat parodied (at times) the show's humour (in my opinion) I find funny, although you cant take this show too seriously it would take away from the enjoyment, this show along with K:Return of Kings and Asterisk War I am looking foward too.... Looking foward to this season of anime for sure.
