I got 3 friends to watch it, I've done my service for anime
Thank you for this, that Mumen Rider theme is so damn good.
That full Licenseless Rider theme. God damn. Ganbatte.
Yep, I fucked up. I had it confused as I was wondering what Metal Bat's VA would be back before they had his voice and I saw he was Josuke's VA already. I just misremembered that as it carrying forward and that Metal Bat was going to be the new Josuke too. Welp, he's still Old Josuke in my heart.

For those of who love the Mumen Rider theme.....check out the Great Teacher Onizuka (2012 drama adaption) main theme.
If you're a fan of his character I would also suggest watching GTO 2012!

he's joking that the manga translation has him as Licenseless Rider, while the anime subs kept him as Mumen Rider. And folks have been following the manga for longer I guess
Yeah ... but i've been following both ONE/Murata ever since around chapter 18 of the redraw. I really don't care and don't know why I capped Mumen Rider though (and really doesn't care about the Amai Mask and whatever his name was in the scanlations name change either).

No. They aren't even consistent with Fubuki and Tatsumaki.
None whatsoever. It's just a bad localization.
Well, Fubuki and Tatsumaki are proper names instead of hero names iirc.
Real reason they kept calling him Mumen rider in the daisuki sub, is that they clearly yell 'mumen rider' each time they say his name, so it justs eases the confusion there.
Although Fubuki of the blizzard group is kinda redundant.
Personally, as someone who's watched a pretty small amount of anime and isn't super familiar with a lot of stuff, I prefer the name Mumen Rider. It sounds cooler than "Licenseless," I'm vaguely aware of Kamen Rider as a thing so I get the fact that it's kind of a pun on that, and I don't think using the word "licenseless" to describe a guy on a bike would really mean anything to me, because what kind of license am I supposed to expect this guy to have in the first place?
I don't even know what the fuck Amai's name is translated as or what it's supposed to be in the first place other than I think it has both "Kamen" and "Mask" in it, so who the fuck knows anyway???
Tornado is a dumb name and doesn't seem super relevant to her abilities, probably they should've just kept her Tatsumaki?

he uses a bike because he's licenseless
Tatsumaki is a weird one because I remember reading a Translator's note or something that it flip flops on whether the tone has tornado or just tatsumaki or something weird like that.
Like a license to drive. Like a car or motorcycle. Like a license because people know what licenses are.
Also it's translated as Sweet Mask usually. Or Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask. I prefer that compared to what they usually say in the official translation which is "Amai Mask aka Handsome Kamen."

Ha, fair enough, I guess I just never thought about him riding anything other than a bike. I guess it'd have to be a motorcycle license then, or else he'd have to change his name to _____ Driver.

Awesome OST. I'm actually surprised that there is a good hour of music for OPM. While i loved the music on the show, it often felt like they're repeating the same 5-6 tracks over and over, i'm glad to be wrong though.

For me, one of the most hilarious aspects of the OPM universe is the hero names. Licenseless Rider, Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask, Armored Manager, Caped Baldy, Funeral Suspenders, Smile Man and so on. The humor and charm are lost when they remain untranslated, and I still frown a bit whenever I read "Mumen Rider" or "Amai Mask." In Rider's specific case, it ties in even less to his former hero title,
.
Nameless Bicycle Commuter
Mumen Rider is the only one that loses a bit in translation as the pun's not there anymore.
It's funnier to me. Along with "Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask." The more cumbersome the hero name, the more it grabs me.
That translation is shite. I mean, all respect to Viz's John Werry, but DAMN is he a bad translator, or bad humorist, or just plain out of touch, or what.
I've bought all 4 of the Viz translations so far mainly for the extra stories, and the translation is so, so bad compared to the initial fan translations. So much humor lost, so much of the actually hilarious vernacular gone.
The full version of one punch man's ballad theme is so beautiful :,(

Still a bummer, because the first three are the best, and definitely the ones that should be nailed for maximum effect.
I guess if a reader didn't have the fan translations to compare, it might not bother them as much.
Still "I don't swing that way, though," works so much better to me than "I'm not interested in dudes." Come ON. Also, he replaced the world-famous "OK" with "Oh."
Friggin' seriously? Your "sou ka" is "oh"?! Wow.
Plus, "round circle," "you'll pay for turning Genos into modern art" etc. etc. etc.
About time
Also damn. The cyborg fights already has nearly 15k views
EDIT: Finally found the one I wanted. It's called 'violent acts' and it's the Crablante/Sea King vs. Puri Puri Prisoner theme
Welp and just like that, the first ten videos get taken down
Aaaand they got deleted :/

Oh god, i hope that's not a bad omen for the eventual western blu-ray release. Does this man also do translations for anime releases? I realize the Daisuke translation already aren't completely on point in some regards, but i'd hate if it deviated even further, especially in iconic scenes like that.
If anyone of you have heard of YouTube vocalist/instrumentalist Jonathan Young, he just released an absolutely incredible English cover of the One Punch Man theme.

This is pretty fucking good and the only hiccup I have is I'm gonna be the strongest hero and not I wanna. Gods inside my fist tonight is pretty great to hear in english though.
I was waiting for the "AAHHH, AAAAAAHHHH, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" at the end there. Giggled like a little girl when it happened hahaha. Great cover.

Best English lyrics by far. Happily bought the full song. Thanks for this!
I really enjoyed this.
Holy shit, this is really good.

I think it was at least moderately stimulating for him, as in the post-credits scene he cries out "just one punch again?!", agonizing that his level of enemy went back down.
It was also his first enemy that the hilariously named "consecutive normal punches" didn't do away with, and he had to break out the bottom rung of his serious move set.
That was actually pretty good, damn.
Nice
