ONE's art is meant to have a weird naive look to it, not be "awful". He wouldn't put thought into things like composition otherwise.







He doesn't care much about things like anatomy and general solidity but he's good at pretty much all the elements of art that people ignore.

Well it's Bones, so I'm sure it'll be awesome. I just hope we get a second season to One-Punch Man next year.

Oh boy, ohhh boy. I can feel it you guys. This anime is going to be awesome.

I've heard the manga is actually better than One Punch Man from some avid readers, which only sets my expectations even higher. I'd definitely read it if they released it in English. Oh yeah, and I love the style of the show, at least what I can gather its like from this teaser. It's cool to see what looks relatively faithful to ONE's art in animated form.

Wow looks like he's getting another story animated. Now this is great news indeed. And it's got the insane, hyper grittiness that OPM had.

Ping Pong had a horrible art style but is considered one of the greatest anime series of that season (or in general) so art isn't always everything.

I'm excited because the storyline is pretty good and the characters.

Now THIS looks promising. Everything about that art style feels raw and visceral, and I'm loving it. Count me in.

Agree about it looking awful, but is that really the point of the style?

Either way, I do feel like it is a style that may take me getting used to. I've read comics that, personally, I'd say have a worse art style...but still enjoyed the read.

Will check this one out. I liked OPM well enough, that I do want to watch this.

Well, it's not the point exactly. It's not a schtick or something; he's just not a very talented artist and has chosen to make manga in spite of that fact. He compensates for his bad artwork with writing and composition, so his talents shine through.

He's frankly improved leaps and bounds since the original One-Punch Man webcomic, but this is a guy who without the advent of the internet and webcomics would probably have never had a shot at becoming a mangaka.

Artwork-wise, ONE does have a good talent at making his art work, so to speak. As much as it looks worse on the surface to most other published works, it's actually still very functional. It's not something I would consciously know, but I've seen praise from around for his paneling. I personally like the clarity; what is being shown to us, and what is meant to be shown to us, tends to be quite clear (as opposed to say, some other mangaka who are otherwise good artists but can get just plain messy when the scene gets too hectic). And there's something about the style that just 'fits' with his writing. He also makes consistently solid choices on deciding what to depict, which is probably one of those 'if it's bad, you'll notice it, if it's not, you won't' sort of things.

Loving the preview animation already!
Now that I think about it, Takahiro Sakurai is really something. Still really prolific and getting new main roles here and there despite in his 40s. well i do think his type of voice can be placed into anything

I approve of Sakurai as Reigen, lol.

There is virtually nothing on Mob's seiyuu though. Looks like it's a newcomer.

As for the anime, I have higher hopes of this than the ONE PUNCH Man anime. It certainly retains ONE's unique style instead of the Arata art that ONE PUNCH Man has been relegated to.

And in my opinion, MOB Psycho 100's story-line is better than 1PM, hand's down.

Good god! It's the exact same stupid joke. Instead of "One Punch Man" this might as well be titled "One Psychic-Blast Boy."
