One Punch Man - Anime & Collectibles (No Manga Spoilers)

[Lawrence]

Saitama and his everyday life as a superhero. In his quest to become strong, Saitama trained to such an extent that he can defeat any enemy with just one punch. The drawback to having such power is that Saitama is now bored beyond tears that he doesn't have a worthy opponent.

The title, & "lame" (but cool) character design of the main character, plus Saitama's ridiculous power level, has my interest. I figured I'd do an 'all in one' thread to discus the anime (when released), & collectibles from the anime.

Saitama

Tsume

Figma

Nendoroid

Is that how Sitama reacted after that guy fired his blast?

Nope, that's from another part.

That fight against Genos is pretty funny too.

Have you started reading the manga? I finished it online like a week ago and promptly ordered the 1st 7 volumes, it's hilarious.

 

[Lawrence]

No. I only know it from the descriptions I've read, & it sounded like something I might be into. I don't plan on reading it before watching the anime. Sometimes I read a manga, after I've seen the episodes it's base on, to look at the artwork.

Say no more GZ

The Nendo looks pretty good, but I'll probably stick with just the figma.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah me too, any idea how long does figma take from announcement to release? I have a couple figmas but they were already long released, I've never waited for once from the get go.

 

[TBlake]

^ Can't really predict that since figmas are all over the place. Bruce Lee was shown years ago and only recently went up for preorder for example, but sometimes a figma is just announced and goes up for preorder in a week. I'd guess 6 months or so in this case.

 

[GasparZizou]

And wasn't Leonidas also announced like a decade ago?

I guess 6 months is a good expectation, given the popularity of the manga and the hype for the anime, it would be a good window for release.

 

[TBlake]

^ Leonidas was about a year ago, so not too bad but he's getting there. Though some others are also taking a while too like the other Link and Samus ones.

 

[GasparZizou]

Oh ok, well, seems like the wait won't be so painful.

 

[Lawrence]

Figma's & Nendoroids are nice, but I want a Medicom RAH Saitama.

 

[GasparZizou]

1st episode dropped and it's bretty gud!

 

[Lawrence]

I wanted to finish watching it, but the version I watched didn't have subtitles for the later part, so I guess I'll be watching when it's officially released. From what I've seen, it's cool so far.

 

[GasparZizou]

1st EP is officially out in its full 1080p glory!

Any news on that Figma? I must have it now.

 

[Lawrence]

One Puuuuuuuuuunch .....

Oh yeah. The animation during Saitama vs The Subterraneans was mint.

I want a Saitama figure like .... now.

Anime of the season right here. The opening put a fire in my eyes and I think my balls got 2x bigger. If Madhouse can pack this awesome level of visuals in 90% of the 12 episodes I'm not sure I'll be wearing pants every Sunday anymore.

 

[Lawrence]

There's only 12 episodes in season 1?

 

[SuperHobo]

Yup, 12 episodes. Sadly there's not enough content to adapt quite yet.
