| This episode was lots of fun. I'm not sure yet whether the series will keep my interest. Parts of this reminded me of The Tick. |
| Im going to be honest I didn't thought I was going to like it but I was so wrong, such a refreshing and enjoyable anime with good comedy and interesting characters, I can't wait for more. |
 |
| Finally some manly action and comedy anime for once! I am getting bored seeing always having the same genre of school girls for every season this year. |
| Such a great start to the season. Makes me want to start reading the manga. |
| Metaphors of the episode: The beginning of the purple cheap accounted for, as she put it, 'cleaning' of the earth. Humans have polluted the world, and there was this monster to balance things out. Man crab refers to the gluttony that takes part of a large part of the population that ends up surrendering to canned foods and fast foods. The pumped giant refers to excessive use of anabolic steroids by some people who want to be 'strong'. Man car makes reference to the large number of scrap metal and garbage around the world Finally, the monsters from the underground refer to too many people living in big cities, not having more space, so that there are slums (basements) |

| Great 1 ep, Madhous did good job. as someone who read the manga can't be more satisfied. + how many episodes this is going to be? |
| Nice first episode. :) The Blue enemy at the start, Vaccine Man(?), he sounds like the seiyuu of Frieza. (The episode i downloaded, subs are missing in some of the scene in the middle..) |
 |
| Madhouse nailed it! That was an amazing and enjoyable first episode! :D Now I can't wait to hear the anime OP & ED. ^^ Saitama rocks! xd I keep imagining Tada Banri or Kazehaya Kamito whenever I listen to Saitama speak. xD But he's a fitting choice for Saitama's seiyuu, IMO. |
| Can't wait for It's going to be so awesome |
 |
| lol this is awesome, too much sakuga scenes in just 1 episode i hope they can maintain those many sakuga scenes every time there is a fight |
bluethree said: I can understand the "meh" reactions. If I hadn't read the manga beforehand I would have probably reacted the same way. But since I know what's coming I know the story isn't as directionless as the first episode seemed to be. For how closely they followed the manga I have high hopes for this series. But I agree with others that the first episode was kind of mediocre from a story standpoint. Basically because there was no story. But it will come. ^ This! And yh the animation and art could have been better. It wasn't bad it was generic looking. designs are fine but it just looks like every other anime. The manga destroys it when it comes to the art. Hopefully they update it when it officially releases. I wonder how far its gonna go though. The chapters are kinda short and they can adapt everything no problem and just fly by the chapters in one whole episode. |

| Awesome. I loved the first ep. |

 |
| Well, that was actually better than expected, since I wasn't really blown away by the first few chapters of the manga when I first read them. The dream sequence totally sold me, tho. Excepting a lot of good things from this show. |

| u guys realize this is pretty unfinished and an early screening im surprised how many ppl are praising the animation when there was so many flaws and errors and some things just didnt look good in general |
| Average series with a cool soundtrack. And for the manga version, average series with great art. That sums up one punch man. @moodie this is how the first episode will look when it airs in October. Do you really think their still working on episode 1, with just a few weeks before the airing of the series? You probably don't know how the industry works. The only difference is that we are going to get the HD version since this was a low resolution video. But nothing else will change. |

| Nah, the 1st Ep. didn't make a proper intro, like what the hell is going on here? Have't read the manga tho. |

| Madhouse delivers |
 |
| My eyes. What bliss. Thank you Kameda and Space Dandy guy. I honestly can't prefer UBW's art over OPM. Not saying UBW had bad art, but it had some questionable CG and after effects spam which got grating at times. OPM has that comic book, raw dynamic feel to it, but the art isn't as detailed overall as in UBW, so I'd say that evens them out for me. |
| I need sleep. |
| I have been waiting years for this to be animated. IT IS NOW! HALLELUJAH!! And what do you know?! It's by Madhouse too! I was sincerely hoping they were the ones to pick the show (or the series/author picked them) to do the job! It began. It was superb. Just hope it continues to the rest of the episodes. *crossing fingers* |
   |
| holy bloody shitty assy ! all of the action scene are so damn good ! keep the good work MAD ! |
 |
| This episode was just what I expected & more. I like how closely Madhouse is following the manga but also giving more freedom to animators in action sequence to go wild. The comedy was on point, the OST & BGM was amazing. Voice acting also suitable to their characters. The dream sequence was one of the most well choreographed & well animated fights we've had this year. The rough sketchy lines also added more to the intensity, props to Yoshimichi Kameda. 10/10 BASED MADHOUSE DELIVERS. The 3rd PV also promises more Sakuga action in upcoming episodes. |
| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
Taito10 said: Amazing episode! Art and animation were very good. 5/5 One Punch Man >> Fate UBW Obviously. |
 |
| I liked it, obviously the quality of the art wouldnt translate for every scene like I wanted it to from the manga but it was well worth the watch, can't wait for it to start regular airing! Maybe then the manga will have regular updates |

busterbeam said: Question. Are any of you bothered by the instances of "off model"/"deformed" or intentionally "messy" art in this episode or do you enjoy it? Like this https://twitter.com/kraker2k/status/640496533973151744 Or this https://data.archive.moe/board/a/image/1441/54/1441541642354.webm Not only enjoy, it's my fav type of animation if it fits the show (which it certainly does) |
| Very good adaptation, I would not have expected any less from Madhouse 5/5 |
 |
| I'm so done with the current season, 2015 is filled with average new shows. One Punch Man alone won't be able to save this year. Will there be other pre-airs like this? I wanna see more promising new shows. I'm missing autumn 2014 awesome season. |
