Oh you poor dear....were you not warned?

The way I understand it, even if you're warned it's not really enough.

I should really get around to watching it some day.

I'll admit to liking Umaru as well while we're on the topic.

I'll admit to liking Sylphynford and her ridiculous puffy skirts.

Every character except for Umaru was pretty much ok, but holy shit Umaru herself annoyed me.

The second episode of One Punch Man had me tearing up today from laughing so hard, and Iron-Blooded Orphans looks to not be pulling any punches with its subject matter.

Any of you folks watched the new series of Mushi-shi?

Mushi-shi sure does... it certainly is a... it definitely exists. I like it, but I couldn't possibly explain why.

re-watching the first episode of One Punch Man, my only issue with the animation is at several points it felt too rubbery. That works with some series but it really takes away the weight of Saitama's punches. The gore wasn't there for shock value, it was to stress the brutality of even a single attack, which was contrasted by his casual indifference, thus humor. It doesn't kill it and they avoid it when it matters most but it does lessen it to a degree.

Also shame for missing that joke in episode two
