Holy shit. Let's pray this gets a good studio.

If two-cours, maybe, just maybe, they could get to Garou. It's a pretty long arc, and that's enough episodes for it. But no, it'll probably only cover the stuff up what Murata's adapted. I'd say it'll probably be just one cour, getting up to the Boros arc, probably. Estimating by the length of the chapters, it seems likely.

How can a manga about a guy beating a everyone with only one punch have arcs?

[up][up]By making it as much about the nature of heroism, the absurdities of superhero careers and public perception of heroes as much as it is about the titular hero.

The plot isn't "will Saitama win?". That's a given. The plot comes from everything else that happens before and after that inevitable moment.

I recommend the chapter where Saitama goes to the police station, if you want to see what interesting stuff can be done with the premise in one easy read.

It's not boring, but some parts (like the Sea King encounter) take awhile to get rolling.

Exciting news. What studio should be put in charge of this?

Akira Toriyama (April 5 1955 - March 1, 2024).

No news on the studio yet.

Looks like they're basing this off the Murata redraw and not the original One version. I wonder how they're gonna handle the artwork.

To be fair if you based it off the ONE version all you'd need is one dude with a cheap animator program doing all the voices and sound effects himself.

trigger has the talent (yoshinari alone is bar none of the best artists in japan right now, period) but they'd need a LOT of money.

[up][up][up]I've never read the ONE version. Are there any instances of Art Shifts when things get serious (as it does in Mob Psycho), or is it consistently Stylistic Suck?

[up] It's very rough and sketchy, all black and white with no shading and generally looking like it's drawn via an online Oekaki thing.

The Stylistic Suck of the remake is basically mirroring the original's art-style.

yeah comparing one to murata is like comparing a 10 year old on deviantart to michelangelo's work on the sistine chapel.

[up][up][up]Amazing. Both of those pictures are simply amazing, but for entirely different reasons.

Slightly unrelated: Anyone know what happened to the page for Mob Psycho 100? I see sub-pages, but no main page...

It wasn't cut by the P5 and it's been gone since at least February 17th. More than that I can't say.

Something similar to what happened to the My Hero Academia page may have happened. In that case, the page was cutlisted for being a stub, then got fixed in the meantime before it got cut.

Arha Since: Jan, 2010
#71: Mar 7th 2015 at 7:20:16 PM

That's my guess as well. How long was the page? If it only had two or three tropes listed for it and a bad description it might have been cut for being a stub.

Yeah, I found it; they cutlisted it because the article was too short.

What a shame. I was looking forward to reading the article after binging it last week.

wild mass guess

So, Saitama's power was achieved by excessive training and dedication, right? And all of his powers are basically "human potential taken to the extreme".

Saitama's downfall/weakness will be falling out of shape due to a lack of villains/monsters to fight, after which a really big monster will show up and Saitama will be back to his "origin story" power levels.

That's what he thinks, at least. We don't know if it's actually true.
