It's in my Top 10 of all time for sure, to the point where I'm considering buying the blu-rays and I'll probably get all the volumes too

I was introduced to this through OPM and I love it way more. There's a much more relatable emotional connection to the characters for me.

Yeah same on both fronts. I'm re-reading some OPM to prep for Season 2 and man it's just not hitting the same way anymore. Mob's sincerity just really won me over, and the visible progression of his growth, his ambition made manifest, and the way that makes other people want to do the same along with him, makes it just a really filling story. It feels like something that is, sadly, designed to end. It's a complete saccharine "My Friends Are My Power" story, but it's earned that and the kernel of truth of "Humans need relationships to live, it's okay to want them and you deserve to have them" is just kind of a timeless thing that this series nails whereas I don't see how One Punch Man is ever going to end. I don't see what the finale would be or what would make Saitama ever happy. His almost complete apathy about any situation and the way he stills get mad when people wanna hang with him, it doesn't spur my interest anymore. I kind of don't like him. Combined with a lot of the more emotional beats being separated by longer, (but still cool) fight scenes, it's just not doing it for me anymore. And they're like obviously different things right? A drama with some comedy and a comedy-satire with some drama, so yeah the comparison isn't entirely fair, I'm not going to get Mob crying that he hurt people and feels that he's completely incapable of change and going 100% Sadness or "My master is a good person" out of OPM, but that's what appeals to me more so maybe I'm asking something out of OPM that it'll never be there and that's okay too.

Just curious, but were you reading the Murata version or the original webcomic?

Good question, the Murata version for a re-read since that's the "Canon Adapted Version", but about half of my first read through was the original webcomic. I should def read through the webcomic again Here's a fun thing: Mob's most recent 100 % at Toichiro attacking Reigen is the same emotion that brought about by his very first 100% at Dimple

MP100 bucks a lot of trends in common anime. Mob doesn't join the weirdo slack off club but instead works out, the bodybuilding jocks are actually really nice dudes instead of bullies, Reigen is not just a scammer manipulating Mob but actually a positive figure in his life who genuinely cares for the kid, nearly every time people push Mob to the limit he responds with something like "sadness" or "belief" rather than the "anger" or "hate" that you'd expect out of most anime powerups, the alternate life where he gets bullied only makes him realize how glad and thankful he is of the people in his life instead of breaking him and so on and so forth. Meanwhile OPM is a love letter to the genre. Yeah, it's a parody that's meant to make you laugh at how dumb these punchman chinese cartoons can be, but it's also made with an insane amount of love for the craft of battle manga and genuinely heartfelt moments like Mumen Rider standing up against the Sea King and Saitama getting a Thank You letter from him. Neither of those moments would be out of place in a generic battle manga, but because they're in the insane world of OPM they stand out (also they stand out because ONE is a great writer). But because OPM spends so much time in those fights, MP100 has much better characters because they get more time to, like, do characterization things instead of fighting an endless parade of disposable monsters. On a personal level, I think MP100's take on self-improvement, pacifism and just plain trying to be a good person are much more positive and wholesome than anything OPM will ever do short of possibly the conclusion to Saitama's arc, whatever that ends up being. But also MP100 will also probably never feel as cathartic to me in the same way that Boros and (Webcomic spoiler) fillertextGaroufillertext do, because I genuinely empathize with Saitama and his own plight while facing them. OPM's take on depression is something that adds something unique to the genre, just not in the same way MP100 does. Also MP100 is both a finished work and has possibly the best anime adaptation of all time that anything has ever gotten while OPM is a webcomic that no longer updates, so calling one straight up better than the other seems unfair to me. But hey at the very least we know for sure which one has the better second season of its anime adaptation.

I'm still a little annoyed at Wisecrack's take of OPM making it sound like Saitama was mocking Mumen Rider for his pointless act of defiance when in reality Mumen Rider likely saved dozens of lives buying time for Saitama to arrive to deal with the Sea King.

It is kind of heartbreaking that the post Monster Association bits of OPM seemed to have been setting up to go places just in time for One to set the project aside. But since he set it aside for MP100, it's hard to be too disappointed.

I'm actually glad there isn't One Piece amounts of Mob Psycho. It's nice to have a show end on its own terms as opposed to being dragged out to beyond my own lifespan. I'll probably die and there'll still be Baruto Jr. or some poo poo waving me into my grave

i love Mob. i'll say that I felt the fight was a tad rushed and I sure don't remember Toichiro becoming a Demon Man, but I love Mob. sad that we're ending it here but I hope there's more soon because there's still some juicy stuff that makes for a way better finale AND THERE IS MOREhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2wIub86shk the official website says this is NOT an aprils fools day joke, and that there's a legit OVA that'll be screened July 7th with an original concept written by ONE

Other than that, if anything, the anime introduced more to the fight to make it last longer. It's probably just some kinda weird thing where a fight in still images can feel longer than fully animated. Toichiro absolutely turned into a demon man, though.

Mob saving the day by beating an absolutely gigantic sword into a plowshare was fantastic. Seems like more of a side effect than anything, but I dig the contrast between the energy's intended purpose and what it was actually used for. Not sure if the broccoli is all that edible, though...if nothing else, I suspect it's going to be converted into Psycho Helmet's headquarters. Felt nice to see everybody moving on after all the city-smashing action, too. It seems like Serizawa is here partly to act as an apprentice figure for Mob, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I was certain this would be the best anime of the year after I watched the first episode and each one after that has only served to confirm my belief. Other thoughts: - I went  when Mob formed a sphere out of destroyed buildings like in the poster.- Toichiro getting twisted up like Play-doh was hosed up. - There was something else I wanted to talk about here but I forgot it.

Mob does go through different 100%s in that fight like Shame when he sees Ritsu and Kindness when he stays with Toichiro, but they've always kind of cut those title cards And yeah I remember Toichiro turning monstrous with energy but less so a blue skinned beast.....sounds like I need to reread.....
