I wish the online webcomic's art didn't bother me that much. I just can't read it after the manga version.

Its funny that despite how sketchy his art is, the big fight in what would be season 2 could be done frame for frame off of One's drawings in Murata's style and it would blow the Boros fight out fight out of the water with ease. He is messy but get gets a lot better at actually drawing really Kinect fight scenes.

There's a story behind it ?
I hope not. I like the idea of random guy being godly for no reason.
There isn't, but people ask continuously anyway. Guess they can't accept that his training made him that powerful.
That was my point lol, there is no reason. There are theories but its all basically hearsay as far as the webcomic goes.
The interesting thing about the world of One Punch Man is it seems until not too long before the events of the story proper started there didn't seem to be the same issue with monsters as there are during the story. If you pay attention most every monster is a human or animal or even sometimes things like an electric fan and were all based around some sort of extreme focus or devotion or desire. One monster was a man who had started putting car parts into his body to become a car and the very first one Saitama takes out when he still had hair was a man obsessed with eating crab.
Basically as we see time and time again the monsters are usually some extreme of the extreme delusion become reality or desire made manifest in some sick way. Its always the case, you do have monsters like those created by the House of Evolution but even still if we're going by the theme of becoming a monster by following an unhealthy or extreme path and feeling, the creator of the House of Evolution wanted to test the limits... of well Evolution and created all manner of monsters and an army of clones.
So Saitama wth his single minded unflappable desire to be a hero who could defeat any monster or villain with a single punch became manifest not because of how hard his physical training was but because he was damn devoted and single minded, the ultimate tunnel vision that after years and years of this made him a kind of "Monster" of his own. Except his desire wasn't something selfish or mean or nasty or kinky but was actually something rather pure and well just! He wanted to be a hero not for praise or power or money but just to be a hero because that's the right thing to do. His particular method involves obliterating any threat with a single punch/kick/head butt/etc.
So its all a theory of course but its totally consistent through out the series that Saitama won't face a real threat until he takes on someone whose desire or goal or whatever is as strong and "pure" as Saitama's. We even see this in how he basically Talk No Jutsu's certain baddies with what it means to be a hero and so on.
ehh it's probably a very minor project, i wouldn't be surprised if this is one of those 4 komas manga
should be simple enough to not delay his other projects

I'm expecting an evil Saitama clone, android Saitama or time-traveling future Saitama fight at some point, although those could be too predictable.
**Spoilers for the One Webcomic ahead**
Well we may be getting just that as after a recent... continent spanning hand holding incident with Fubuki and Saitama, she has a flashback to her time imprisoned and experimented on something like 17 years prior. We then get a glimpse of her watching through her cell door and seeing the hero who inspired her to be a hero herself. Its Blast and he wears a costume like Saitama with hair and he even says he's a does the hero thing as a hobby and HE HAS A JOB! So I'm interested to see what ONE has in store

I love how dbz fans can't accept Saitama would wreck everyone in that universe.
Having powerlevel arguments for what is essentially a gag character is stupid anyway.

All goku black is missing is to say Bizarro every sentence
This is how it would end.
Goku: Wow, you're really powerful! That was a great fight!
Saitama: Oh. It was?
Goku: A couple times there, I thought you had me for sure!
Saitama: What would be the point...?
Goku: I hear ya! Someone strong as you, it's like I didn't want to stop. I could've fought forever! So we should do this again, okay?
Saitama: Learn something new next time.
Goku: You got it! And you too! Don't slack off! Hahaha!
Saitama: Uh... right.
Saitama walks off.
Vegeta: ((I am really glad that guy is on our side.))
I don't have the opposite feeling, since Murata draws so well and cleanly, but it's similar in a way. I love the way ONE draws, his joke are so dry, and the expressions / looks of the characters really convey that well. All that is kind of lost in Murata's drawings, with women especially. Tatsumaki for example has lost any comedic value in Murata's redraw, as opposed to ONE's version where she's actually depicted properly as crazy, arrogant, tiny and more normal looking. Murata draws her like most women - with emphasis on sexy features, no blemishes, etc. It takes the life out of the manga a bit, in favor of fanservice and (visual) shonen tropes.
The Genos Nendoroid is great, lol
omg i need it
The Genos Nendoroid is great, lol
If I had the space my room would be filled with these.
he aint got nothin' on the marvel reality warpers. even if his strongest punch is a big bang, pfft
well... webcomic spoilers
if the fight with little girl is anything to go by he might just have a field around himself that prevents any sorta magic or psychic or even reality warping tomfoolery
English dub cast:

A bit too deep. I think the voice fits the cool character stereotype more.
The rest were pretty good though.

It's not goofy but the did nail the aspect of him just being so god damn bored with life
Eeeeehhh.
I don't think the voice acting sounds bad, but the voice they got for Saitama really doesn't fit Saitama imo. It feels like he's disinterested all the time, while really he's only disinterested in fighting.
Then again, I should probably reserve judgement until the dub actually airs rather than just lines chosen for a trailer.

Dub seems bearable, but yeah, the Japanese VA was more comedic, this sounds a bit too "cool" for Saitama.

I'd Google it, but Tom is also Spike from cowboy bebop so if it's the same guy then there you go.
No, Saitama is not voiced by Blum.
Nerds need an explanation for goddamn everything. :/
I love that his power has no explanation beyond "training".

Oh, I missed that there were two new OVAs since the last, yay.
"These are crabs. Crabs for my Sensei."
Lol, train conversation level: Genos

Toonami premiere was last night. Anyone else catch it?
I think it was a pretty good dub, especially the Crablante sequence.

What bothers me about the dub is that I hope they won't delay a possible Blu ray until the dub has fully aired.
Nothing's been solicited, so it won't be out for a while.
Same, for some reason the voice worked much better for me in the actual episode.

My thoughts too. It's not silly enough.
The climax in OVA #5 is phenomenal.
