The fact that you are referencing that scene in order to respond to a statement about something being "just a complete mess," is brilliant beyond my ability to adequately describe.Originally Posted by UChessmaster
My kingdom for a pos rep.
(Not enough people to keep my rep queue clear these days.)
Favorite part this ep was Saitama getting excited over the prospect of a fan club.
Aside from the fight, I'd agree.
Genos brushing it aside as "nobody cares about that" made it all the better. Poor guy just wants a bloody fan club.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Hey, hey. Everyone would want a fan club of some sort. It's recognition. Genos is the abnormal one here.
Peace.
This series keeps getting better and better. I knew that Saitama was going to "fail" in the hero exam in some way. At least he proved by breaking all records and measurements that he is "something else". Its nice how we were hinted that the reason that they even exist is cause he saved the founders child and still he is totally unrecognized and put in the lowest rank of the association. Genos has done almost nothing and he is already a big star getting special treatment from the A #1.
The fight animations are amazing. Even if this show would have no humor or plot at all only watching those would be the best experience in anime in a while.
Also: I can pay rent... toothbrush?
The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
Dat's the joke.
Peace.
It's the fact it's not desperately trying to crack jokes left and right which makes it so good comedy. The writing, setting, characters, and scenes speak for themselves. I attribute to this why I didn't find the first ep so terribly funny, but once I got used to it, it all started to click wonderfully.
You know, if you don't like it, you can just not watch it.
The series is not going to change no matter how much you complain about how it doesn't satisfy you. There are three identical shonen series this season that can satisfy your concerns expressed here.
I thought Heavy Object was shit and I dropped it on the first episode. Were there redeeming factors in that series? Maybe, if very few. But I'm not going to pretend it is going to shift into more standard mecha fare.
Stop your smug act NOW.
I never said I don´t like this anime. I don´t like that one aspect of it.
And unless you spoiled me something, we still don´t know if we´ll maybe get a logical explanation one day. After all, since some villains grow curious of Saitama, they´ll want to analyze him, take cell samples and stuff.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
It's one thing to complain about a shitty show being shit (it's even fun sometimes) or repeatedly attacking the flaws of a series that takes itself far too seriously.
You're criticizing the central gag of a series that is a known satire as not being serious enough. A change that would result in making a satire series no longer a satire.
You don't like, appreciate, or understand satire. We get it. We established this back on page 3.
Bitching about your hopes and dreams that this series will jump the shark and become a serious version of what it is lampooning is deeply flawed on a fundamental basis. You're seriously better off finding something else if this offends you to such a degree that you have to carry on for two additional pages about how it doesn't satisfy you.
I realize that in reviewing the discussion on page 3, that I've repeated everything I said there over again. The difference is that I was polite about it then. I'm not now.
Extremely condescending attitude. Makes me a little sad. But I´m not one to resort to insults and badmouthing my debate partner, so I´ll try once again: You paint a picture as if I constantly barge into this thread to bitch about the samt thing. That is not true. As I mentioned in my posting about the latest episode, I touched on the subject again, because Genos touched on it again, too. I already forgot the specific scene, but there was one where Genos wondered about Saitama´s power´s source again. That made me hopeful that we´d eventually get an explanation after all.
Now, what you did was going into full "let´s insult MFauli for complaining again, sigh"-mode, even when that was never a truth in any of all universes. I can promise you that you won´t hear me mention Saitama´s power´s source next week if there is no reason for it. That is all.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Dat's the joke.
Peace.
I'm still baffled by how anyone can find this series not funny, ep1 included.
It's been passed down through generations of the Saitama family. You'll soon see a sister who kicks his ass.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I didn't find the first episode particularly funny either.
HS - Episode 06
---------------------------
@Munsu: Oh, damn. I totally forgot about that guy. Good tip.
I'm starting to get sick of Saitama being stuck in C class now. I want him to make it big. After 6 episodes of him being underappreciated by the general population I'm feeling sorry for him. I get the irony of him being such a big hero that he's a monster to everybody and all.. but this has actually been the weakest episode to date.
The best part was Saitama having issues about scamming Genos, then actually scamming him.
I can see why.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I love that he's the monster they're all worried about and nobody knows it. Not even him.
I hadn't even noticed that his neighborhood was abandoned except for him.
...what the fuck? He's been a Hero for ONE EPISODE!
Got it from Ace of Diamond, pitcher started singing an Anpanman song.
I don't recall any of these events from the manga. I wonder if they're from the web comic or anime original, or I've simply forgotten.

Great episode, but I also cannot wait for Saitama to get the deserved recognition. Actually, seeing how lackluster those A-rank heroes were, I wonder if ANY of the S-rank heroes can even slightly compare to Saitama´s power/speed.
I also wonder how Genos intends to get stronger. Seems like all he can do is rely on the professor that built him. Well, I guess Genos could make his own cyborg-inventions and improve himself that way.
And yeah, let´s hope we get some quality h-doujins featuring that blizzard lady or what she called herself.

They can't. He broke all physical records by huge margins. No one can match him physically.
They must compensate in other ways if they're anything like Saitama. Tornado for example has telekinesis.
I was surprised to learn that Saitama can get tired.
