Madhouse with a great director who got his start in the industry as an animator and knows action very well on top of having a contact list a mile long. Kameda should work on it for sure. The character designer is also a great animator with some friends, too.

I'm also hopeful because the writer worked on about a quarter of Tiger & Bunny, so he has experience with silly supeheroes.

Yeah the Bandai Visual producer on OPM is their Tiger & Bunny producer so she probably pulled in that writer.

When is HxH not on hiatus?

Also I'm totally okay with Madhouse for the anime and now I think it will actually look good. Definitely excited for it.

You didn't before? HxH was really well done and very faithful.

I gave up on the series when the manga art tanked during the beginning of the Chimera Ant arc hiatus. Then I rewatched/reread Yu Yu Hakisho. We're going to fix that now, I forgot how good this series managed to be.

Also, super hyped for OPM, even that potatophone video looked great.

HxH is really good especially in the new anime because you get all of it at once instead of like spaced out by years. Togashi is hyper aware of shounen tropes and expectations, considering he pioneered a lot of them, and when you watch it all in one go you can see how he plays with your expectations and things don't turn out the way you expect them to.

Alternatively, imagine the world taking a dump on the main character, forever.

It's not really a standard punchman anime. At first glance that's exactly what it seems to be, especially during the first few episodes but it kind of takes everything in different directions as it progresses

it also gets really fuckin dark at times

The like, 3rd arc proper, the entire premise is that all the badguys are insanely overpowered and our heroes would be squashed like spiders if they fought them, no training arc is gonna help them here. It's amazing.

Togashi's work is kind of similar to Onepunch Man in that he's a big fan of characters who are so overwhelmingly powerful that no amount of training or attrition can take them down, forcing the heroes to find alternate means of attack. Hell, Yu Yu Hakusho ended with its main character losing the final battle and it turned out to not even matter because his opponent was so exhausted that he got chumped by a totally different guy shortly after.

It's not a popular opinion but I think the final arc of Yu Yu Hakusho is one of the best parts of the series. It's got this kind of melancholic atmosphere throughout and then the hero just realises that all this shounen hero poo poo isn't for him anymore and retires. I hear it goes down a bit different in the anime but I dunno if its done better or worse.

The way that they finally defeat Meruyem is another great moment. Goddamn.

Gon's storyline during the chimera ant arc is also pretty great, especially the way it ends.

He's the quintessential shonen hero but in the end no amount of hope or shonen stick-to-it-ivness let's him accomplish his goal, instead he ends up utterly broken and depressed beyond any real chance of salvation and he does what people in that sort of situation sometimes do, he lashes out in a suicidal rage.

One of my favorite elements of that (spoilered in case anyone here wants to watch) is how he does the typical super-angry powerup/transformation, but not only does it not accomplish anything (since the character he kills was probably going to die anyway) but it results in him being a near death state and a major part of the next arc is trying to get him fixed up.

If you must blink, do it now.
I am prepared to write walls of text on how the episode where Gon finds Pitou healing Komugi is the best in the entire series and one of the best episodes of any shounen anime I've ever seen.

One-Punch Man is in good hands.

I'm glad someone else feels that way. I've always loved how weirdly relaxed that final arc is, and it surprises me that so many people dislike it.

No one would care about HxH given its frequent and lengthy breaks if it wasn't so incredibly good when Togashi brings his A game. That's kind of similar to both versions of OPM, actually.

Having read Murata's version first, I obviously vastly prefer it to ONE's. I hope that both Murata and ONE can focus on Onepunch, since it's so drat great, but I'll also be happy with a 13 episode series ending after what will have to be an insane Boros fight, and then they can wait for lots more Murata Onepunch to come out before continuing.

I did not either until one of them heralded OPM best superhero comic 2014 where the competition is all superhero comics and the guy is a total Marvel/DC sperg.

I believe it was linked earlier in this topic or the other OPM topic.
