Everybody Should Read One Punch Man

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I can't even front, the OPM is more than just comedy and action, it has one of the most fleshed out characters and intriguing storylines for sure. And the art though, it's truly S tier, S standing for Saitama.

Murata's OPM is godlike. Recently, Tatsumaki's fight against the monster chick blew me away. And Garou was cool in ONE's version but the build up and character development in the remake is so good...

In terms of what is funnier in execution for Gintama. I would say the anime does a more impactful way, like there is a mood with the fantastic voice cast , the music and sound effects and the animation( which sometimes goes into live action, other anime style, etc). The Gintama anime also added so much more tham what a manga print medium can offer. Plus it being in motion and has effdcts kinda makes it easier to understand quicker

Monster for example(has one of my favorite characters in fiction: Johan) which is one big story of whats truly good and whats evil, the struggle of staying true to your beliefs in one big fucked up gray world, and on the otherhand, it also showcases what might happen if a person remains perfectly straight and unshaken in their goals and what they believe- Unfortunately this "resolve" belongs to the cold bastard Johan.

Just so you know. Reading OPM can be very frustrating too. We have been going through over 1½ years of redraws, which is very frustrating when you are waiting for new chapters. Also these redraws isn't always better then the og chapter. Unlike other mangas OPM does not have set schedule. So you don't know when a new chapter will be released. Those are some of the cons you should be aware of.

[@opman6242]

Many people who gets into Onepunch Man manga is because of the "fluidity" of the manga panels. It's more animated than the anime series of Onepunch Man itself. Just see the sparring battle between Saitama vs Genos, or Saitama vs Carnage Kabuto, or the 1st fight of Saitama vs Speed-o-sound Sonic.

@@GuerrillaCowboy the web comic is written AND drawn by ONE. The manga is drawn by Murata.

Oh, and the web comic plot right now is way ahead of the manga, but it's been on hiatus for over a year now

[@trayfr]

if you want a more prominent comedy, read the OPM webcomic. once you get over ONE's peculiar artstyle, it's genuinely a really cool read as well. if Murata had a sleepless night of bingeing it, I'd say that's a pretty good indicator.

I’m gonna be that guy. The original creator ONE is the real reason why OPM is as great as it is! Murata’s artwork is out of this world, I’m not gonna deny that, but a lot of the panels in the remake are just straight up remastered versions of the original. And when it comes to story, characters, humor, most importantly the morals, that’s all ONE. ONE’s web comic version is ongoing right now, as his version already went into several whole new arcs past Garu, and Murata’s version deviates from the original even more, we can see the two versions as their separate thing now. Imo, ONE’s version still keeps the quality of his stories, and his artwork has improved a lot after Mob Psycho 100. While Murata’s version drags on for too long, even though the artwork is god like.

OPM is absolutely amazing and I love it but somehow I still think Mob Psycho 100 is better. At least in terms of storytelling though I will concede a big part of that is OPM leaning more into humor.

[@yurikuki]

I disagree with Connor on his take on comedy in Manga and Anime. I find reading comedy moments in manga to be funnier than anime because when you're reading you're going on your own pace rather than anime which has a time limit. You have more time to process the joke and letting it sink in when you're reading and it's easier to look back at gags and see the whole joke. The timing of the joke is reflected on the person's own reading ability and how they go about reading the manga. We normally read in the language we're comfortable in which I think helps because we imagine how the characters sound like. A good mangaka would know how to panel to set up a joke. Although, Anime have the advantage of music, voice acting, and animation, Manga however have the advantage of the reader's imagination and full control on the comedic timing of the manga. There's less risk to mess up a joke when you're reading a manga cuz there's more requirements in an anime. Manga of OPM was funnier in my opinion because I was going at my own pace. Sometimes the jokes in the anime wouldn't land because it was too fast to process and had no proper build up or the scene itself wasn't done properly and didn't translate well to anime format. Felt that way especially with OPM season 2 and some other anime. I think this also applies to a lot of genre in Manga like Horror. Junji ito for example.

[@Bexploserpro]

I'm don't read a lot (generaly speaking, like books in school and manga or others). I read it quite fast but don't understand much of what i read sometimes. Either cause i'm lost or forget what they said. The only manga i read in my life is Opm and none other. Mainly cause i can't wait for season 3 it's toooo slow.
