Yo, do we have fanboys here? Yes?; Awesome! How do you like this anime? I'm loving it. Its easily this year's best anime. I was thinking about writing a wall of text regarding this anime, might add it later.

Trolls are welcome. ♥

So far I am also a One Punch Man fan. I signed up for Hulu just to watch that, Overlord, Prison School, and some other ones Crunchyroll has been holding out on.

It has a gritty, unemployed bachelor, relaxed feeling like Cowboy Bebop, and then the "are you really pitching us this??" craziness, fight sequences, and heavy-metal-type feeling of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. It also has the "crazy stuff is happening but you're supposed to pretend that it's normal" storytelling going on like Gintama or Cowboy Bebop, with similar character-driven comedy with reoccurring side characters.

The main character has "The Bundy Curse," in other words, anything good or lucky that happens will be met with equal misfortune, keeping him in the same place. So the story builds with each episode but not too much, it is still episodic. I haven't read the manga, but it seems clear that the main character is at "max level," it's not a show where he develops his powers one episode at a time to fight some final boss. In that sense it is a very unique and effective choice IMO. It means that the show probably won't take itself too seriously and box itself into a corner, it will probably remain a humble show with great writing. Look at Hunter x Hunter, after 8 tiring seasons he has 10000 abilities that you lost track of and each new ability is to beat an equally ridiculous "season boss." I can tell it's going to be a chill show with absurd comedy and interesting content. The character development and everything about it is great.

I'm not sure what else to say, milking as much commentary as I can out of the 10 episodes online.

You don't have to read manga to be a fan, that's some ridiculous hipster shit. The only purpose of manga is to be a storyboard for great anime. Sorry but it's true. Music, animation, voice acting, sound design are all way more intricate than rough sketches in a notebook.

Well said. I couldn't agree more!
