I spent the weekend watching through my first anime in over 10 years.
One Punch Man is simply spectacular. It has brought back what anime is supposed to be and look like to me. Everything actually looks like it has been drawn with pen/ink and it has much less of the "CG" coloring feel (although it's definitely all done that way) than anime has had since the late 90s (which turned me off it completely). The energy and stylism of the movement and energy and explosions are all reminiscent of the power and dynamism of classic anime which I so adore.
It's only 12 episodes for that first season but wow...I'm blown away. Nothing in media has made me laugh out loud or fist pump this hard in years.
