Started out as a satire of Shonen Anime

Well that's the thing, it was always parody not satire. They are two different things. Learn the difference.

>make a joke series
>joke series gets popular
>pad out the setting, introduce characters, lay out drama so that you can make your living off of it instead of ending it once the joke stops being funny
>it works
I could complain but it's not like I wouldn't do the same

read the webcomic

You are too dumb even for Yea Forums level. Just get off the board.

It is a satire. It has something to say about the purpose of dumb backstories that don't matter, flashy but ultimately meaningless fights that don't matter because the hero will save the day anyway, the emphasis of improvement from everyone but the main character who improved so much he's bored now. Saitama's dull looks while being the ultimate hero because everyone expect him to look cool or scary Like Genos or King.
Not to mention the bureaucracy of the Hero association, that can't classify correctly some monsters, and the abuse that some heroes perform against lower-ranked companions because of their positions of power in their pursuit of fame and popularity.

There. I hope your tiny brain can process all that.

A fundamental difficulty with parodies is that in order to parody a trope/event/situation/reaction/whatever to some degree they have to play it straight before arriving at the twist. This is the main reason that so many "parodies" simply end up being the very thing they "parodied" In the case of OPM the parody aspect is mostly centered around Saitama not taking damage and finishing fights in 1 punch. As long as Saitama is the only friendly character in a fight this works, because you can stretch out the first part for a while and get creative with the enemy attacks, or the dialogue between enemy and Saitama. The second part is obviously horrible for a story, because it immediately kills any tension, and is finished in one page/one second. As such, the fundamental problem with OPM is that it introduced other fighting characters. Due to being there they have to fight, but at the same time the presence of Saitama ruins any tension or excitement. At the same time, because they are fighting, the battles are bog standard shonen crap, because you can't really play Saitama's "invincible" card.
Basically, OPM went down the drain the moment people other than Saiama actually started getting fights.

Read the manga, anime kumquats

Does Saitama fuck her?

In a way yes

One Pump Man

its always been a sincere shounen, just one thats written far better than the average

just like mob

It was never a parody, satire, or deconstruction. You anime only fans are witless and unoriginal.

No. They are just acquaintances.

I don't think you know what those words mean.

>Read the manga
Ignore this retard.

Endless fillershit.

No, that's gay.

Fuck the pig episode, this was just as fucked up.

you grew up and became bitter

All the people involved in it gotta eat,you know

Why is the MA arc so FUCKING LONG

There are people who didn't read the manga?

Best OPM post of 2019.

Surprisingly, it was One's own fault, when he bloated the Garou to the point when I stoped reading the manga fo a while just because how irrelevant all the new content was.

What are you talking about?, the webcomic has been the same thing.

>It's badly written and boring on PURPOSE

I mean, the crazy bitch had it coming. And Hank smoking a joint was absolutely hilarious.

Glad people are finally waking up. OPM was ALWAYS pretty shitty.

I dont get it, it's the same as before

>villain shows up, actually threatening
>fights against "normal heroes"
>saitama comes in and punches his shit in
>the end

that was literally episode 2, but we ACTUALLY have more shit developing instead of saitama punching monster of the week

Webcomic was great, so was Murata's version right until the tournament shit.

Nope. One note unfunny trash with the least interesting world and characters.

It was pretty entertaining like that. And because it was moving pretty quickly, it was fun to read.

>parody
>satire

People convinced themselves its sincere embrace of superhero genre cliches was an elaborate critique, over time that has proven to not be the case. It twists things a little, with Garou taking the role of the indomitable underdog who suffers immense punishment but always finds a way to beat the odds and win, which is normally the role of the hero, but this is just an amusing reversal, not some withering takedown
