Well, this thread inspired me to read this, then I finally caught up and all I see is something called "One". Anyway, I don't have much to contribute yet except to say this manga is awesome, if a bit repetitive. But now that I see there's this "One" thing (the original I guess?) I feel like I'm watching the anime and have to deal with manga spoilers. I'm glad a new thread was just made. A lot of the panels are drawn that it feels like an anime as well.

JosephWongKS posted:Now that he's a registered Hero, I'd presume that he gets a stipend or allowance from the Heroes' Association. Before that, he was probably living off his savings from the days when he was still a salaryman. Saitama repeatedly states he is only doing heroing as a hobby, so you know he's not making money off it. Even if we assume he were a successful salaryman, living in a Japanese city is hyper expensive, he can't live off his savings.

7c Nickel posted:They covered at least part of his cash situation. Where does Genos get all this money? I guess they might explain it later in some kind of twist. But it still doesn't answer what Saitama was doing before this. And honestly, even if Saitama is crazy strong, what does Genos hope to learn? He is a cyborg. He can't really train his body, and the mechanics of his body are likely at least somewhat foreign to the human form so even things like the right way to throw a punch might be different for him.

NEET is supposed to make us all wish he were punched in the face, but then we wouldn't love Saitama so much. I'm glad the event unfolded the way they did so Saitama showed how great a hero he is, even if NEET's logic was rather awful. Also, it drives the plot. We can't have Saitama recognized as the greatest hero of all time yet.

I feel the same way too. I don't understand how people think everything is going to stay free if ads stop making profit for websites because everyone is blocking them. They're really only making it more adful for those of us playing by the rules. Everyone keeps talking up King; if ONE's version is following Murata's closely, any ballpark guesses how long until we get to see him in action?

Rivensteel posted:Oppai = big boobs? Since no one answered you already, oppai just means boobs. Particularly: 1: (Children''s langauge) breasts; boobies; tits; 2: (Children''s langauge) breast milk Also, while finding more concrete definitions, I have just learned that apparently there is a thing called oppai ice cream: "soft icecream sold in a balloon" I can honestly say I didn't expect that. I like that somehow Saitama always finds a resolution that feels satisfying, honorable and not like "That wouldn't work if you ever said it to a real person" kind of way that you sometimes end up with these types of heroes in anime.

Saitama, stealing someone's game and then deleting their data and breaking their console is not very hero-like! About the fan comic - I like how "sasuga" went untranslated. It seemed like a cute, decently enough written and drawn comic. I feel the loli monsters definitely reveal the author's motivation to center it around Tatsumaki. (Also, I thought the Japanese didn't typically name rivers? [I had a much longer draft written rambling about Japanese town and river names and the Ainu, but I guess I should spare you all that.])

Honestly, I hope Licenseless Rider doesn't join the group. He's great because he's just a normal person that stands up to evil, a real hero. Saitama's group is great because it's some slightly weird people slowly realizing how to be real heros; Licenseless Rider doesn't real fit in and then he would need unnecessary and probably clunky characterization that would ruin his impact imo. He's probably also got important not-videogame heroing to do.

I'm also team saw-it-as-purple by the way. Not sure why. The red actually threw me off, especially since I saw that picture so many times and never noticed. I also agree that Supersonic Speed of Sound isn't supposed to be evil. He's simply concerned with being the best assassin. I think in the context of their universe or story, his actions aren't considered evil. And I don't think he's meant to appear that way. That's why Saitama just lets him go whenever they fight. Boros wasn't necessarily a monster, but Saitama killed him because he was evil. And you can tell SSS wants honest fights and to honor his contracts etc. SSS is True Neutral or even Lawful Neutral at worst imo. Pri-Pri Prisoner is probably more evil, but he's a hero, go figure.

I think it's just an anime trope that when a hero beats a potential villain and the villain rivals the hero and becomes concerned only with their defeat, or just simply is shown to no longer possess an actual threat to the hero, they become considered a large degree of not-evil. It seems to pop up a lot: Gurren Lagann, DBZ, One Piece... Doesn't matter how many people you've killed before, you're redeemable. Which I guess is a nice sentiment?

Yep, also thought the same. I always thought it was weird because I knew Japan didn't have such a bicycle license. I also vote in favor of Common Rider (not that it matters). Licenseless retains the literal meaning, but not the point of his character that the pun does. And I feel like, as you can see from posts above, the meaning kind of adds confusion. Though I do typically like to favor avoiding sacrificing meaning. I think it's more important that he's a more mundane form of Kamen Rider than why he is, and Common sounds impressively close and immediately you make the connection. Though calling it "perfect" might be a bit much.

There's more discussion of One Piece here than on its own thread. :'( Honestly, I feel like the face thing is really getting overdone. The Ussop thing struck me as especially stupid (though I did find the followup awesome, so I guess it balanced out) Back to OPM: Not that anyone thought our latest villain stood a chance, but poor Saitama, looks like this one is going to be another disappointment. (Though I guess he's still training technically?) I'm also looking forward to this tournament arc. I wonder when the onsen episode is going to happen.

A little late to the discussion on animes making money, but I was under the impression that anime are very costly and have been dangerously unprofitable since torrenting rolled around. And I guess the anime really only serves as an ad for the manga, which then serves as an ad to the webcomic maybe? Saitama's convinced me. When I finally get me a job, I'll probably go and buy all the volumes (and maybe the DVDs), if only to encourage more ONE and Murata super-duoing.

This would be easier if time weren't modular. Let's just start now and count forward without wrapping. In a few years, watches will be enormous, but no one wears them anymore so it won't be a problem; we will have solved anime time schedules, and all will rejoice.

I have to agree with some of the detractors, but I think it's just because it was the first episode. It felt somewhat generic. I feel like if I had showed this show to someone, they wouldn't understand why it was great. Also the fact that I knew when the punches or the plain-faces were coming probably really ruined them for me, but that's inevitable. Though, overall, I think this'll be great as it keeps going. Also, I forgot how many people get killed so quickly at the beginning...  It was a struggle just to find a version to watch overseas, but even then it didn't have the ED or OP.

Little late to say this, but I also thought it was kind of funny when a manga is better animated than the anime.  Also, I tried showing someone else the anime, and we reached the scene with Genos's lengthy explanation - yeah, my friend was giggling for a while at the beginning, but man, does it go on for forever... It wasn't too too painful to rewatch though. Overall, really enjoying the anime adaption though.

Finally caught up on this thread again. You guys posted a lot of little spoilers and then never tagged them even after being called out on it. :/ About the anime: I really really didn't like the King engine or Tatsumaki I always thought of Tatsumaki as a very mature person that everyone treated as a child because of her appearance, not an actual child. The jokes about her being a child seem so much less funny when she also acts and sounds like one. And yeah, I have to see what first time anime-viewers think, but King's engine didn't sound intimidating. I also thought it was going to be more like an engine. Or at least a more voluminous and bass sound. Some kind of deafening rumble. It was probably the #1 thing I was looking forward to in the anime, but oh well. As long as they do the other King stuff well when it gets to there. Also, it was a few pages back, but I also thought that Genos was firing blue laser beams. Genos is basically powerless on his own. Dr Stench is the real hero. I also think he was the one that created the rampaging robot. Or maybe the rampaging robot was Genos all along.
