What made One Punch Man season 1 so good?

Literally everything.

Money hardworking and luck

The studio imported a bunch of good animators that were passionate about the show

It was a parody of shonen and not a parody of itself.

The staff

Novelty and interesting premise.

Now it's overgrown and got popular. That's it's.

The right question here would be "why S1 is superior to S2?".

Animation. The animation difference between S1 and S2 is fucking staggering. I can't think of another show with such a drop in seasonal quality

The overall production quality difference was insane but s2 does have better writing by far

>MadHouse
Do you need more?

Quite literally style over substance.
Western anime fans only care about spectacle.

you say that as if japanese anime fans arent also like that

The fact that something like this was produced at Madhouse post 2010 is a cosmic fluke. Barely anything about this production is what it is because of Madhouse itself. It's all a product of the people who were brought in to work on it. Modern day Madhouse is a glorified middle man for subcontracting to cheap CGI firms and offshore Korean animation sweatshops.

That has everything to do with One and his source material though

Is Boros still the strongest enemy Saitama has ever faced?

>phenomenal visuals
>faithful adaptation
>solid soundtrack
>animation quality

Great animation
Good story telling
Great studio

It actually had saitama in it.

A superstar cast of animators and an actual passion for the material.

>10. A fresh take on the genre without going too far but using the usual tropes while slightly twisting it.

Unironically its length
For me, One Punch Man peaked right after where season 1 ends; with the small King arc.
The premise is fun enough to last that long without being tired and it's just consumable enough to be able to revisit and complete every few years.
I still follow the series (thought I am behind), it's still fun and has ONE's unique flair to it, but it feels like the series said what it wanted to say in those first handful of arcs.
Obviously it's good for a series to change, evolve, say and explore something new, but I frankly feel like the fact that current OPM IS OPM holds it back.
I personally think it would function as a story better if it had been split.
But then again, I put down OPM a while ago and likely was feeling fatigue, so take what I say with some salt.

The animation, pacing of each episode, and music were much worse in season 2. Overall it was much less polished than the first season.

>perfectly emulated the tone and art style of the manga
>astounding animation
>excellent soundtrack
>jokes were still fresh
>made fun of overused tropes
>main character people identified with
>No Garou

But Garou would've been good if Madhouse had handled him.

Shingo Natsume, his team and good source material.

How fucking sexy Tornado of Terror is.

Nanatsu no taizai

He called in every favor he had, and probably ended up with more by the result.

Awakened Garou is supposedly on par.

Overworking the animators to death.

soul, luck, passion, didn't take itself seriously

Hmm. You'll need to post photos to back up such a claim.

It was a an unexpected comedy for most people.
