The "Guile turtling" in the first episode triggered a bad shameful memory from my own childhood. Where I tried to Guile turtle like a scrub instead of relying on my Chun Li proficiency.
Seriously, just read the real One Punch Man manga by ONE. It's still absolutely fucking fantastic. None of that horrible filler that was inserted to slow down Murata from overtaking the original.MX7 wrote:It really does. Even worse, it's just a regular fighting show now. I can't really see how they coud have maintained the central gag beyond 12 episodes but it's still disappointing.
Like we've said before, Bad Shonen Shit took all the wrong lessons from Dragon Ball. Wrestling isn't about wrestling.
Yeah, I read a few of the later issues at random to see how it continues and was a bit disappointed that they'd move away from all the cringe.Tomoko develops immensely as the series goes on, even if she is still a pervert, she stops with any schemes to be popular, her judgement of others is way less harsh and she does become a kinder and nicer person
Having characters that have an actual personality shouldn't be a drawback. There should be a little more substance to someone than their hair color or breast size.
It really depresses me wondering if this series would have done financially okay if Tomoko had gazongas that bounced every twelve seconds or something. From the way I see people shitpost about Granblue Fantasy characters, the masses really only seem to care about the surface level. Legs and exposed armpits? A beloved favorite. Has an actual brain in her head, building an army of murderous robot chickens? Ah who cares robot murder chickens aren't sexy.
