[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 6778971, member: 40123"] Searched the forum to see if anyone started a thread. Found none, hence this. Meet Saitama, once an ordinary salaryman, until one day he becomes tired of his dull existence and decides to become a superhero. To that end, he trains intensely for three years until he gains superhuman strength. Along the way he loses all his hair due to the intensity of his training, but that's a small price to pay to achieve his dream and become the hero he's always wanted to be. Only one problem... He's become too strong. So strong in fact that any monster Saitama comes across is utterly destroyed with [B]one punch[/B]. Hence the name. Now Saitama struggles to find meaning in his life, as his immense power makes any battle a cakewalk, thus robbing him of any excitement he might have felt before as a hero. I guess that synopsis didn't engender much confidence no? You can take my word or not, but trust me when I say that this is probably the best shonen manga/anime I've seen in years. It's also one of the funniest, because it's primarily a parody of the shonen genre while also being a straight example of it (like all the best parodies). There are hilarious scenes of straight up mockery of shonen and superhero tropes paired with some of the best action you'll see in a manga and anime. [I]One Punch Man[/I] started as a webcomic written and drawn by the manga artist known only as ONE. After it gained some fame, ONE was approached by Yusuke Murata of [I]Eyeshield 21[/I] fame to redraw the series for Shueisha. It's Murata's stunning art on the redrawn version which really made the series explode in popularity. You can read the manga either in digital form or on print from [URL="http://www.viz.com/manga/print/one-punch-man"]Viz[/URL]. And now [I]One Punch Man[/I] is a 12 episode anime from Madhouse. You can watch it on [URL="http://www.daisuki.net/anime/detail/ONEPUNCHMAN"]Daisuki.net[/URL] or on [URL="http://www.viz.com/anime/streaming/one-punch-man"]Viz's streaming site[/URL]. For those that are curious, here's the opening: [video=youtube;ixXqHh_Bts8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixXqHh_Bts8[/video] I hope you guys take the time to watch/read this incredibly hilarious series. :) [/QUOTE]
