One Punch Man as a deconstruction of an entire genre and dissection what occurs after the achieving power storyline common in so many shows.
One punch man is super interesting to me. It takes the shounen genre and turns it on its head. How can the main character possibly improve, when they are already the strongest in the whole universe? Well, turns out raw strength is not all that matters. And OPM is a funny way of looking at this conundrum our society has prepared for young men. Definitely one of my favorites as well.
OPM is so refreshing. In other animes, it's stressful to watch sometimes even though you know the main character is going win in the end but with OPM, it's a fun ride the whole way through.
I felt like it was this at first, but eventually it becomes more of your standard Shounen "which guy is strongest? Find out next week" sort of affair. All the side characters and filler really distracted from the point of the show for me. More than just providing context and justification for the main plot, it took away from it IMO.
