| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So the first ova dropped today. It was matching the quality of the series which is always a plus. The opening is the same no difference there. Woulda been cool if they changed it since this feels more like a prequel. Without spoiling the plot we see Satima (with hair) accidentaly tear his track suit. Than the plot begins around that and he goes around trying to fix the rip. Half of the episode really isnt "as fun" per say. We get a nice fight in the end but its pretty much your standard OPM episode. As the title says "road to hero" so we pretty much expected something like this. |
| Looks good. |
 |
| Well it is out now but waiting for the subs though.... |

PolarKoala said: Will watch this as soon as I catch up with the series. I started late so I'm a bit behind. You can watch it between too. You only need to watch the first episode to get the gist of it |

| OMG the feels at the end q_q It was interesting to see how Saitama got his hero costume >_> Really enjoyable OVA, good doze before the episode on Sunday =) |
| aw, the way saitama got his costume :'3 and the reason he was kicked out too lol honestly what did genos understand from saitama's story? i was as confused as him omg |
| I watched the first few seconds of it and it was funny to see Saitama rip his pants on that rod on the telephone poll xD I haven't gone past that since subs ain't out yet. |
 |
| subs pls T_T |
 |
| Was good imo. Saitama with hair looks cool, but I was so used to his bald version that seeing him with hair was a bit weird. Lmao with that villain being a bondage fish XD. I liked the last part with the tailor and how despite Saitama finding the suit ridiculous at first, get eventually used to it. |
 |
| seeing saitama with hair laid on the floor scratching his ass reminds me of my old man |
 |
| So the old man died in the end or what? |
| Not very action-oriented but a nice original backstory. I assume it's also canon since ONE wrote it. |

| It was 24 min long and there will be 6 ova's coming, assuming all of them are that long then we weill get half a cour worth of original content. SWEET! |
 |
| It's nice to see how he get that suit but other than that I'm disappointed in this OVA :/ |

| Was kinda fun, like the whole anime so far, i realy hope that there will be a second season! |
| well that was a cute prequel in all its simplicity |
  |
This was a fun OVA. I can't decide if Saitama looks cooler bald or with hair. Both I guess, but being bald certainly makes him stand out from other MCs.  That pink fish monster looked like he was into some BDSM.  The backstory on how Saitama got his hero costume was interesting. I liked that he kept wearing that lame costume for his friend.  |

| the origin of the hero suit of Saitama, not bad |
| I wasn't expecting anything too crazy since I heard it was a prequel about how he got his suit and stuff, but this was very underwhelming. |
| Nothing special really, i liked how he got his suit though. |
| Classic Saitama and the mystery of how he got his hero suit is solved |
 |
| For the record, when Saitama says 'hentai' when referring to the goldfish monster, the meaning of that word is more of that of a Metamorphosis rather than that of a pervert. Of course, he then uses the word as a pun to refer to both of them. So 'kanzen na hentai' meant both a total pervert and a complete metamorphosis. I felt like saying this since the subs were kinda bad at explaining that. |
 |
| Decent watch, mostly because it was nice seeing Saitama with hair and some emotion in his voice. Still, I can't deny I'm annoyed at the fact they have plenty of interesting side chapters to animate and instead rather go for some original stuff. Seriously, the chapter about Saitama as a child and the one with the B class hero would be fantastic, while what we got is merely ok. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| That was pretty nice. Pretty funny to see how he was still with hair, and how he got the suit. It was interesting. |
  |
| Even though OPM's extra chapters are really nice and it would be awesome to see them animated, if all of the OVAs are like this one I really don't mind. We got new canon info on the series, that does not really matter but is interesting. Most of other anime OVAs are just random ones with nothing special to it, nothing new, nothing to had to the main story, so I really thing this one was great |
| The scene with the perv in the pink leather suit was hilarious! Saitama kinda looks like Genos with hair in human form, with black hair, to me lol idk. |
| After finishing, I kinda realized, didn't Saitama beat everyone there in one punch? Not a lot of action was shown. |
|
| More opm. :3 |
 |
| A nice little backstory about how Saitama got his suit. It's also nice that we now understand why he was disappointed that his old apartment complex wasn't destroyed by the meteorite in episode 7. That BDSM fish though......weird stuff lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Very soothing episode by the way.. Saitama is always the best |
| |
| Good episode, want more of Saitama's adventures. |
 |
| That was fun seeing Saitama with hair and receiving his hero outfit for the first time. Good old days. Can't wait for the next OVA! |
 |
| So that is how he got his suits. Nomss said: The scene with the perv in the pink leather suit was hilarious! Saitama kinda looks like Genos with hair in human form, with black hair, to me lol idk. For me, he looks like Touma from Index. |
 |
| Well, that was good. i loled when shop owner shows saitama the first design. Saitama's costume's cute back story lol :P |
 |
| So this is from when one punch wasn't enough to kill baddies. Saitama has hair on his head and is still in training and doesn't have a costume. A tailor helps him with his tracksuit free of cost even though he is neck deep in loans. So Saitama owes him one and so he goes to deal with the bastards who are running this business when the tailor's shop goes down. Lol the bad guy of this episode looked so stupid. To repay Saitama, the tailor makes him a suit. Saitama doesn't like it but since the tailor supported him even though he was drowning in loans, and made the suit as thanks, Saitama is wearing it till now. Kinda like he has a bit of a reason to carry on other than the hobby thing. And Genos didn't understand anything Saitama said as he tells him to get a new suit lol. |
| LOL dat fish. |
| I watched it like 6hrs ago I have to said that I really enjoying it because it explain of how Saitama got his suit but at the same time I don't get use of him have his hair but anyway the monster when I saw him transform I was like "WTH he was wearing" which my face was like •_• |
| So now we got his outfit's backstory. I hope the next ova will tell when his one punch ability activated. ~Great episode!!! |
 |
| More OPM is great but this OVA is a bit boring. |
| Saitama what about the less than 20 words?? |
