BIG changes… if you know what i mean... (well if you don't, just look at page 30)...
Oh my god…Why?
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)

Chapter is about 50% better now.

Oh yes, definitely.
@Cyclone_Baroness:Oh my god…Why?
Well, we all know Murata is a "connoisseur"… he always knows where to put that light touch to improve his already outstanding work...

So Murata realized that Bang and Bomb needed a pet the dog moment too. Pun intended.
-
Damn, Bomb is more handsome than his little brother
-
Overgrown Robert would be the perfect Fukibi's group pet
-
EY "clap"
The chadness of those two…C'mon, this chapter was HILARIOUS.

Fubuki catapulted herself to my top 3 over the months. This beef set stuff wasn't in the original as far as I remember
. Truly the best girl.And that monster with Saitama and the speed dude is already growing on me. I hope it survives somehow.

God I missed so much since August….have to read it all
But I am glad the webcomic is ongoing now

ONE-PUNCH MAN CHAPTER 168 RAW
https://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/10834108156748064983Ride of the ages…. what a bros
-
These latest chapters are way more hilarious than epic. No complaints from me.
-
The chapter was pure gold.
-
I absolutely dig this goofy ride ! :wub:
Plus, it's a welcome channge of pace after the more serious S-rank fights. -
I'm actually going to feel a bit sad when Mike becomes collateral damage.
-
-
Perfect chapter. So much fun.
-
Complicating things since 2009.
-
Damn…! I feel your pain Saitima!
-
It's really weird to watch that after reading the DVD bonus features.
I'm unsure if I really want to know, but please share

One of the features has dossiers on most of the supers referenced or shown in the film; powers, ratings, and biological fluff. Most of the cape victims were really nice people so it's weird to see that being played for laughs, particularly with Mr. Incredible dismissing Thunderhead as being not that bright; from his dossier, Thunderhead was a really stand-up guy and we even saw him at Bob and Helen's wedding so they were probably pretty close friends.

Simply stunning.

Feck, I’m gonna..

This fight is one of the things I was waiting for the most, Murata didn´t dissapointed me, that was amazing…

Really Jaw dropping

Okay, does anyone besides me REALLY want this arc to be over already? I mean, truth be told, I've wanted it to be over for a while.
Look, I get that this series has some amazing art, which I won't deny. It's up there with Berserk as one of the all-time greats in terms of art. I just wish it was being used on a better story.
I mean, doesn't it bother anyone else that, in terms of plotting and pacing, this manga is basically Bleach? Just an endless parade of mostly one-dimensional characters beating the hell out of each other with no sense of story progression or character development.
Garou is particularly bad since they've just been spinning their wheels on this guy for ages. Not to mention his battles have no real tension since his endurance levels are essentially farcical. No matter how much he gets beat down (unless it's by Saitama), we know he'll just get back up because that's what the plot demands.

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon] -

Well, this manga is a special one to begin with; where the hero never loses. This renders all other plot points predictable. So one should simply enjoy the art, the fighting and the comedy and there is no need to take the story seriously. That's how it should be read. -
When One Piece hits I practically devour the chapter, almost skimming through the pages no matter how pretty the picture (Oda is a gifted artist himself after all). I don't always like where the story is going, but I am still curious where it's going and how everything unfolds.
One Punch Man is the polar opposite reading experience for me. I don't care about the story, but I have never seen art this good in my life. My fingers are always ready and prepared to turn the pages, but I simply can't do it most of the time. Not before I digested this godlike art, not before my jaw popped back. The pages simply won't let me move on, they are too powerful, too good. Like I'm a hostage to this level of skill.
Maybe I'm weird, maybe I don't have standards or know too little about manga in general, but I simply can't get used to this quality.Now, would I want Murata's skills used in a manga with a really engaging story? Or at least a story I'm invested in, even if it isn't good? I don't know. But I do know that a great story can declass art, to the point that it's just a "nice to have" that requires a re-read to really appreciate. At least that's often the case for me when it concerns One Piece. So I actually prefer how things are, I guess?
-
I'm in the third group: happy with the art and the story…
-
I like both the art and story
but I'd much rather they keep the story closer to the original web comic, to many side fights and things that just seem to be prolong the arc that just don't seem necessary
although I did love Monster King Orochi
but yeah the art is fucking amazing
-
OPM is primarily a gag manga, taking the story seriously and expecting anything more than subpar writing is a mistake.
You take it for what it is, a parody of hero tropes or you'll have a hard time getting through it.
Not everything has to have stellar storytelling, if it's funny and has some amazingly drawn action it's good enough.
-
In certain respects we're still very close to the original comic:
!
At least things still seem on course for being able to see a re-draw of my favourite fight in the story so far. (Takes place not long after the current mission)
I've been waiting for so long, and I'll be really shocked if we don't end up getting it. -
Last chapter? Simply a masterpiece. Thank you Murata.

Totally agree. Shiver down the spine…

Is it? It seems a lot of the story is taking itself pretty seriously.

So, assuming it really is just a gag manga, that makes it exempt from the good writing rule? I wasn't aware comedies didn't have to have good writing.

I kinda have to agree that this arc has been draggin at certain points but some fights have been pretty great (Zombieman vs vampire) and not so great (child emp vs phoenix) but overall I have to prefer Redrawn versions pacing over ONE's original webcomic pacing what I feel is little rushed and cutting little too many corners. Redrawn has some absolutely amazing additions such as Elder centipede battles and I really enjoyed how Martial arts tournament turned out even if I initially felt that whole arc would feel forced and out of nowhere but it turned out amazing.
Redrawn version must be actually pretty nice for ONE when he gets second chance to flesh out and fine tune his OPM story giving him more freedom with his webcomic version since he can always adjust any elements that he feels was missing in initial publishment.

There is no tension because this manga is literally about a dude who's sad he keep beating villains with 1 punch.
It's all about the funny / ridiculous scenarios that happens until he shows up and destroys everything. ( And the amazing spectacle / reactions )
It's not meant to be taken seriously. The moment you do, you will stop enjoying it.

Okay, so taking just this last chapter as an example, what was so ridiculous/funny about Garou and Darkshine's battle? I mean, Darkshine's character design is sort of funny, but aside from that, I think this was a totally legit action-packed battle we were meant to take seriously.
I mean, is there some angle to this I'm not seeing?

Saitama doesn't have an arc akin to Mob, the other characters are the ones having character development learning to accept how outrageous Saitama is.

Most of them aren't. Most of the top-ranked heroes don't know or don't care about Saitama's true strength.

It's true, so far. By the end of this arc a lot of things shake up for the Hero Association. But if this isn't your cup, and you no longer find the series enjoyable take a break from it.
-
ONE's webcomic version emphasizes the characters and the comedic nature of the series in my eyes.
The Murata redraw emphasizes the action scenes that can't be captured in the same way in the webcomic version.
At least that's how I see it.

Nah. The series is still entertaining enough that I don't mind reading them when they come out. It just…kind of astounds me that people are still so amazed by this series.

The series sure has it's moments, but for me the most fun is the Saitama doing outrageous things to disbelieve of others. ONE does the going from joke to serious situation quite often, but sometimes it ends abruptly, other writers can do the switch better.
I think people are still amused by the quality of the art after 20+ volumes. But most probably don't know Murata is a perfectionist, has 7 assistants and works on a un-regular schedule. -

Well, you have kind of an answer in that most of the posts are from people who enjoys the series. That tells you people are doing a different read than yours. To point a difference between your reading and mine I really don't care and don't want something like "character development" or "story progression" in this series. I mean what for? To me, in every arc, I know the villain is going to be onepunched k.o. and then I just wonder about how the story will make believable to me that the next villian is even worst than the previous one and how it will make me wish to see him/her onepunched. That's all every time, and I enjoy it every time like this. I guess this is it and it's fine as simple as it can be. My inner 8 years old kid are happy always that a final punch lands on the villian, and I believe it every time it happens. I mean the story makes me play the game. (Don't want Saitama goes beyond that, more than finally reaching some porn-recognition, a new cape and a victory over King on the x-box).
So yes, it's completely a gag manga: you have to take seriously all the fights and all the action, -which are a reference of the much used archetypes of action mangas- to enjoy and smirk at the final punches. (gag because it's a parody of all those archetypes.)
Beyond that I totally love to little joys to see Mike's Wasousky cousin scared on that train car, Saitama buying the milk or Fubuki trying to recruit her team, among others.
(Now I don't read the original manga, and, on the character development line, I wonder if Garou, whose mind set-up is interesting to me, is going to change in the end, and if so, how… But have no big hopes there.)
-
And it's about a shit-zillion other characters that have nothing to do with Saitama's arc.
Which are only there to ground the series, it would be boring if the series is just saitama running around one shotting villains left and right.
Okay, so taking just this last chapter as an example, what was so ridiculous/funny about Garou and Darkshine's battle? I mean, Darkshine's character design is sort of funny, but aside from that, I think this was a totally legit action-packed battle we were meant to take seriously.
Yes it is an epic battle between two ridiculously absurd fighters, it is very well drawn and you are supposed to enjoy it for what it is. What makes this funny is that the main hero is in this weird rolllercoster ride and his main concern is his ruined cape while everyone is fighting for their lives, absolutely no fucks given.
I mean, is there some angle to this I'm not seeing?
Do you think this will end on anyway other than Saitama absolutely destroying Garou?
It will be such an overwhelming victory if you take it seriously you would be like wth is the point..
