Random Curiosity

「強のヒーロー」 (Saikyou no Hirou)
“The Strongest Hero”

Well… that was awesome.

「全宇宙の覇者」 (Zen Uchuu no Hasha)
“The Dominator of the Universe”

“OK” – Saitama.

「かつてない程の危機、ロード・トゥ・ヒーロー」 (Katsute nai Hodo no Kiki, Roudo to~u Hirou)
“Unparalleled Peril, Road to Hero”

We’ve got a double dose of One-Punch Man this week! While this latest episode has the S-Class heroes getting ready to save the world, there’s also a prequel OVA focusing on Saitama (with a full head of hair) showing how he earned his iconic hero outfit.

「不屈の正義」 (Fukutsu no Seigi)
“Unyielding Justice”

That was nothing short of incredible.

「深海の王」 (Shinkai no ou)
“The Deep Sea King”

One-Punch Man is a snowball of epic proportions that just keeps on getting bigger with each passing episode.

「至高の弟子」 (Shikou no Deshi)
“The Ultimate Disciple”

These past few episodes have felt much more like the One-Punch Man I was initially hoping for, devastating meteors and all.

「最恐の都市」 (Saikyou no Toshi)
“The Terrifying City”

The true blessing of this episode was the sheer amount of Saitama reaction faces we got. Thank you for that, One-Punch Man.

「究極の師」 (Kyuukyoku no Shi)
“The Ultimate Mentor”

Now that’s more like it. This episode delivered everything I wanted from One-Punch Man.

「今時の忍者」 (Imadoki no Ninja)
“The Modern Ninja”

One-Punch Man continues to do what it’s good at, but I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a disconnect here.

「執念の科学者」 (Shuunen no Kagaku sha)
“The Obsessive Scientist”

There is definitely a One-Punch Man formula emerging.

「孤高のサイボーグ」 (Kokou no Saibougu)
“The Lone Cyborg”

All the animators involved in this project must be having a blast with this material.

「最強の男」 (Saikyou no Otoko)
The Strongest Man”

At last, the most anticipated anime of the season (and possibly of the entire year) is here. Expectations were high, but did it deliver? Hell yeah.
