About One-Punch Man

Looking for background on One-Punch Man (ワンパンマン)? This action, comedy and sci-fi series by MADHOUSE (2015) starts out like this. What the story covers: Saitama has a rather peculiar hobby, being a superhero, but despite his heroic deeds and superhuman abilities, a shadow looms over his life. He's become much too mighty, to the point that every opponent ends up defeated with a single punch.

Soon after, the lack of challenge has driven him into a state of apathy, as he watches his life pass by having lost all enthusiasm, at least until he's unwillingly thrust in the role of being a mentor to the young and revenge-driven Genos.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Genus Hakase (Daisuke Namikawa) and Juu Ou (Jirou Saitou) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by MADHOUSE, so the studio's house style defines how One-Punch Man looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Viewers rate it 8.2/10, which signals strong word of mouth. Voice casting, including Daisuke Namikawa as Genus Hakase, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2015, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
