One Punch Man
One Punch Man is a story about a super hero named Saitama that basically beats all his opponents with... wait for it.... one punch! If you haven't watched it before, you might think to yourself: "How is that show supposed to be interesting if he always beats everyone so easily?". Yeah, that's what I thought too. One Punch Man offers a different dynamic from other animes in that Saitama realizes that he has become so powerful that it is problematic for him. He beats everyone so easily that he doesn't experience any thrill from fighting like he used to and is has become essentially emotionless. One of the mysteries that surrounds him is in how he became so powerful. He used to just be an average person, and when asked how he became so strong, he answered by explaining his exact training routine which just seemed like a standard strength training and cardio vascular routine. Yet somehow, it caused him to become strong enough to defeat pretty much anyone and anything with one punch... and also become bald for some reason. One Punch Man does keep its fights pretty interesting by having a lot of other characters that do struggle a little bit with their fights and who you might see some character growth from. Also, its pretty funny too. If you haven't checked it out yet, you definitely should give it a shot!


Sugoi! I definitely need some entertainment after all this crazy hectic semester! I will check out (One Punch Man) on youtube! Thanks for the great post Jackie!
ReplyDeleteI heard it before from one of my friends, but I've never tried yet. It seems and looks like fun. Having unusual ability would be scary and feel like a burden at first, but I also wonder how it would be useful and amazing:)
ReplyDeleteOne Punch Man is an awesome anime. I really like the humor used as well as the action and enemies he faces. I'm not sure if they plan on releasing a second season, however I'd definitely watch it.
