Fun fact: It's speculated that Saitama did so poorly on the written exam because he just wrote "I'd punch it" to a bunch of different questions about how to deal with monster attacks
that's funny
@@akritianwesha4151 Just a fan theory without nothing to back it out except the "poorly written exam".
@@yotuel9064 was it? i thought i remember reading something about him answering all questions with punching it and got just 1 correct out of it
@@chicopatata33 Rumors, if you think otherwise find the source.
He isnt wrong tho
Been here since AOT 1x1! Hard to believe it's been this long 😭
Same!
Same
Same. It was a ride. And doesnt seem to end anytime soon.
It's only been a year and some chill
same
The fight between Genos and Saitama was animated by Arifumi Imai who did a lot of action sequences in AoT like Levi vs Beast Titan, Levi chase scene and lot more. His animation style is one of my favorites!
with those scenes in your portfolio you are practically the best in the industry.. Didn't he also animate Thorfin vs thorkell. i honestly can't think of better fight scenes.
Thank you for this nugget of knowledge man, I need to look that man up and check out more of his work because this animation was phenomenal👍🏽
Yes he's really great like Vincent Chansard and Akihiro Ota
@@n4ko yes, he did animate the original thorfinn vs thorkell. He also storyboarded jjk season 2 episode 4
One fact about this episode: If u remember Saitama saved a child when he was not that strong from a crab monster. That was ig 3 years ago. And in this episode they talked about how Hero Association was established 3 years ago when this billionaires son was saved by a hero from a monster. Also the chin of the billionaire is same as the kid that saitama saved. So in conclusion saiatama is the reason for the establishment of Hero Association.
Lmao I learned smn new today. Idk how I missed making that connection, but thanks for that mate
this is a spoiler tho
Spoiling 😮
@@CjGallardo-sc8mc This is never told directly in manga , web comic or anime. So it is not considered as a spoiler. Just a fact. And it is talked about in this episode.
6:31 Saitama is very much capable of holding back. As you've seen in his fight against Genos, if he didn't constantly hold back he'd level cities with every punch.
He'd do more than level a city tbh
@@psy_99 I said cities as in multiples and also I don't wanna say too much because of spoilers lol. But I can say that it is actually questionable how much damage Saitama could do at this point in the story, because the manga made it VERY clear that he is still costantly growing. So here at the start of the series he's 100% NOT capable of doing the ridiculous stuff he recently did in the manga, which makes this early Saitama look weak in comparison s.s
@@ardynizunia9709 I could argue that he could. He doesn't grow much in season 1 and a certain fight this season has some insane feats that most ppl don't realize. I won't go any further but yeah.
@@psy_99 Again, no, you literally can NOT argue that. Did you read the manga? If not then don't argue my statement about the manga. I don't wanna spoil you. If you did read the manga, let me explain. Spoilers ahead. In the manga, while Saitama fights Garou after Garou awakened and was granted power by god himself, there is a literal page showing a graph that Garou had surpassed Saitamas strength in this fight, that is, Saitamas strength at THE START of the fight. But then the graph shows how Saitama kept growing exponentially during the fight and became able to do the crazy things he did. He literally SNEEZED jupiter to bits. He destroyed a planet by SNEEZING in it's direction from it's orbit bro. Season 1 Saitama is NOT capable of doing that, NOT EVEN CLOSE. Season 2 Saitama isn't capable of doing that either. It was specifically stated that Saitama EXPLOSIVELY grew during his fight vs Garou. So no, it can NOT be argued, it is a FACT that current anime Saitama cannot pull off the feats of current manga Saitama. And yes, anime Saitama is obviously still incredible, still a god like being. In his fight vs Boros, who can literally dematerialize matter by just existing near it, my man just tanks that molecular bullshit and isn't even affected. And jumping back from the moon is obviously crazy. But in the manga he FARTED himself back to earth from jupiter at such speeds, he must've moved faster than light. (By the way, I really HATE these changes in the manga compared to the first iteration, the web comic, because Saitama just sneezing and farting during the fight as "serious moves" was just stupid honestly, not even good comedy, it was just out of place q.q) Anyways, you get the point, there is no argument to be had. Saitama still grows A LOOOOOOOT during the series and FACTUALLY could not do right now what he can do later on in the manga, that is confirmed, not my interpretation.
@@ardynizunia9709 🤓☝
This fight was animated by Arifumi Imai, the guy who also animated most of Odm gear sequences in AOT s1-3, Levi vs Beast titan(s3), and Levi vs Kenny squad fight. He also directed JJK s2 ep 4, the honoured one episode. Easily one of the best action animators working in the industry.
There's more to being a hero than being super strong. That's Saitama's character development in the series.
Hope season 2 doesn't throw them off because of the anime so they watch ⌚ season 3.
@AJ-kt5zo I think one of them has already seen all of OPM. And I'm pretty sure Garou is going to keep them hooked in season 2. I like season 2. It doesn't have season 1's pencil sketch art style but it's not bad.
@@AJ-kt5zoThe story and characters are strong enough that I dont think the animation will be an issue. Plus there's still some really great fights and solid animation in season 2.
@@SolidSnake240 Fair point.
Can't wait for the season finale! One of the best animated fights in anime
legit cant wait to see their reaction on that
Yeah that fight goes crazy
Still holds up, and still dominates
I hope they do a 2 episode reaction for those episodes
@@mr_rizz17 Spam their comments from ep8 onwards
You guys might've missed it (because it's such a small detail) but when Genos is telling Saitama about how the hero association got started, he says that it happened 3 years ago after the organisation's founder had his grandson saved from a monster by a random civilian, and it shows a very small picture of the founder with a GIGANTIC ball-chin. The grandson is the kid Saitama saved from the crab monster before he started properly training to become a hero, and it's hilariously ironic that he is the entire reason the organisation exists but BARELY made the grade to be a part of the organisation
one punch man was made in 2015 its amazing how it looks for its time
it was studio madhouse at it's peak around those years
"For its time"? It wasn't even ten years ago, you don't say that about stuff that isn't even old
For it's time? 2015 is not long ago, you make it look like as if this scene is 100 years old. Look at the first serious fight Naruto against Sasuke or FLCL from 2004. The 70s. 80s and 90s also had insane animations. I don't mean in a angry or bad way but take your time and look at some animes from 20 or 30 years ago, you see some insane stuff. I recommand the movie Angels Egg which you can watch on KZhead which has the Amano art style, it's from 86 and you would be surprise how fluid these animations were.
Found the 7 year old
@@randomgenretalk8151So just you know nowsdays the knowledge doubles each 18 months five years ago means a lot nowsdays and the world will change even more in five 5 years. Just look the IA and stuff when it use get accepted the world will change once again.
Never clicked so fast 😂
Fun fact: At 5:19 the grandchild of the millionaire Genos talking about is actually that Butt-chin kid that drew nipples on the Crab monster, which was saved by Saitama. And that's how the Hero Association started.
10/10 Show! Action and comedy is top tier 🤣
Been here since AoT. When I went to watch the next episode I realized your channel only had 1 video 😂 It was a blast rewatching AoT with you.
Brooo! This episode was what cemented S1 OPM as a top tier show in terms of animation. I absolutely loved the way the fight was actually easy to follow despite being so over the top lol.
I started watching you guys when vinland saga s2 was airing, your reactions became one of my favorites pretty quick so I stayed around, almost a year now! Keep up the great work yall!
4:45 Yes, same VA, he voiced Light Yagami too
Light has such an iconic voice, really got the menacing part down
Wait who??
@@alexarias5717 Miyano Mamoru
@@Ash081284 oh thanks but who does he voice in OPM?
@@alexarias5717 Amai Mask, the silver?/white haired hero who's also a model click on 4:45 He also voices the big boss of the Spiders, Chrollo, in Hunter X Hunter
Okay, this is my second comment on your channel. My very first comment was when I saw your aot reactions.. the youtube algorithm showed me studio gek. I don't know if you can remember but in those early days when your channel was growing at an amazing rate, I pointed how crazy that was.. :) still is nuts how fast your channel grew in just few uploads
Been here since the start of AoT, and it's been great! I love the dynamic of sitting people who have and haven't watched the shows and have vastly different opinions on them.
This is the episode I was waiting for when Genisis and Saitama spar, love it - love watching your reactions ❤️
Vinland saga arc was when i discovered you, i highly recommend mob psycho 100 as your next watch after opm
To this day, this is one of the best series out there
Definitely, and it helped anime be more mainstream in the west. OPM and AOT.
Trust me, Saitama is not Dumb... he's what you call Street Smart and very mature when it matters the most. None of the threats he faced until now are worthy of him being serious..None of the episodes has shown his maturity yet...
The manga has a little side story about the people who Saitama saved. It was great to read.
@raidthegoose7241 yup yup...let them know about all those side stories during season 2.
Exactly. I guess it connects to him being an indifferent person, yet he cares so much. However, he is struggling with extreme depression and boredom that he has little time to care much about his surroundings. However, he's literally very smart, he just doesn't look like it.
Been here since yall started AOT. You guys have come a long way. E5 is my favorite purely for that Saitama-Genos fight. It's so fun to watch
It's an absolute joke, there are so many peak eps despite the season being only 12 eps long. E1, E3 (House of Evolution, whichever that was), the Sonic ep, E5, E7-8, E11-12. Others too that I don't recall rn, cuz it's been a while since I watched OPM. Almost every single episode is freaking amazing in one way or another
The first OPM season was indeed an Avenger level crossover of animators, the director Shingo Natsume managed to gather on of the most stacked action animators in the industry because of his relations and also because he worked on Space Dandy (an anime by Bones) a year prior! so most Space Dandy and Bones ace animators are here like the GOAT Yutaka Nakamura the legend who revolutionize modern action animation and who rarely works outside of Bones now, and many others like Arufimi Imai (AOT), Yoshimichi Kameda who's also Mob Psycho character designer, the goat Keiichirou Watanabe the ace of MAPPA (JJK, CSM), Ryuu Nakayama (CSM director), and believe me many many many more... I honestly can't see something like this ever happening again! the closest we've have to this level was JJK 2 and Frieren who's also by MADHOUSE.
I found you guys when you first started watching JJK and you guys were really fun to watch so I stayed :D, some of the best reactions. It was like chillin with the homies.
Not sure when exactly I joined but I want to say it’s been a year or so now! Y’all have great content and taste in shows! Much love to all of you!
Genos: "Show me no mercy!" Saitama: "You have no idea, Genos.." (in his mind)
been here since roughly got finale, think the channel had around 100k back then love you guys
Been here since the first video that was aot like most of chat,and so glad i stayed with you guys, i get excited everytime there’s a notification from you!
Your first video was my first video. You guys have been doing amazing picking up the pace, you are making a lot of people happy
i was here from day one, happy to be on this anime journey with you guys
When Saitama vertical jumped into the ceiling and his legs were dangling was one of the funniest moments in the show.
Been here since the beginning. I love this channel, and always look forward to uploads 😊
I’ve been around for awhile. Attack on Titan was where I started. I was so excited when you started branching out. You’ve come so far!
Loved the “i’m not spoiling” ❤
Been watching since the first video! crazy how your channel has grown, I think i’ve seen all but game of thrones videos, keep up the amazing content
discovered you guys from your AOT watch. It was awesome both 'rewatching' and reliving the experience through you all. I've watched parts of other series but a couple all the way through. Appreciate the content and hope you keep it up!
I only started watching you guys recently through your OPM and GoT reactions, glad I found you guys as I've really been enjoying your content, keep up the great work chooms! Love from across the pond.
i was here from the begening following you guys from france . what a journey you guys had ! much love ❤
I want to visit France so bad. Thanks for the support!
Been watching with you all since the first video ever uploaded! It is recommended to me by KZhead. Crazy how time flys!
Long first comment, but I was watching at the beginning when you guys started AOT. I was an anime hater as well and my friend who has seen like all of them, recommended I start with AOT as well, and it went exactly how it did for you guys my first watch. I remember finding your first episode soon after finishing it myself, and I was eager for a rewatch but I really wanted to see reactions by others who had clue about anime or what they were getting into with AOT just like me, and watch you realize you're truly invested. You guys did not disappoint to say the least. I have watched JJK, ATLA, Demon Slayer, One Punch Man, and others now and it was all because of AOT and I relate to you guys a ton because of that. Of course seeing Brig, Jackson and McKay share the knowing looks was great😂 Keep doing what you do, seeing you guys post makes my day and I am sure many others here! Best reaction channel on YT ✊🏼
Every big name in the industry were involved in animating opm season 1
I found ya'll around halfway through your HxH watch. Went back and watched your Vinland and Avatar series as well. Now im here for this, and I'm reading the game of thrones books along with your guys' watch through. I don't normally comment but since you asked, why not. Thanks for making the content and hope ya'll keep having fun with it.
Been here since day 1, you guys had 140 views on your first video
What up dudes, never commented. One punch man is when I started watching. Cheers!
This series has been so good. Love your reactions! 🙌🏼
Been here since your first video!! Absolutely love watching your videos!
I've been here since aot ep 1 hard to believe it's been almost a year and half since you've started watching anime and it feels like you're really zooming through all the anime I loved so much
I comment every now and then but I started watching back about a year ago in the spring/summer of 2023 with your AOT ep 1 reaction right after getting hooked to the show myself for the first time. I've since watched at least 75% of your videos and have never been disappointed
Started watching since AOT 1x1. Fav reaction channel on this site!
i’ve been here for a minute i’d actually like to know what the first video i watched but yall are dope, always love watching y’all’s content
Judging from previous episodes, Saitama has a soft spot for humans, like hammerhead or sonic. He punched them without killing them. The meme still stands, because he basically beats everyone with a punch
5:25 keep in mind, the founder's grandchild was attacked something happened and he made the hero association :)
I've been here since your early AOT days 😊 it's been cool to see you guys and your channel grow. I'm rooting for you!
Is anyone else gonna mention the fact that Brig is rocking the Levi Cuts 😂
Been here since day one! Keep up the good work and I will be sticking with you till the end!
Been here since AOT 1x1, I normally check in with shows I know, love the theory crafting and post commentary, keep it up 🔥 🔥
“I still think Saitama’s dumber than Naruto.” Let’s get McKay a mic 😂
I've been watching you guys for 6 or 7 months now, started by bingewatching SNK reactions and been following the HxH hype since i loved it first time i've watched it! I have a KZhead couple i watch for movies reactions and i have you guys for anime and TV series reactions! Your reactions are genuine and i always loved the little smirks of McKay and Brig when they were ahead of the shows!
Here since the first video and planning on kicking it with yall going forward 😊😊
I've enjoyed seeing you guys' journey, you are a delight 🎉
Love you guys, here from the start ❤😊
First saw you guys halfway through AOT season 1, thought it’d be cool to relive the experience and been watching since then
Been around since AoT Episode 1! KZhead algorithm brought me to y’all luckily :)
Been here since day 1, 1000 years into the future. Keep up the good work!
been here since AOT 1x6 or 1x7! youtube just randomly recommended me your reaction even though i didn't watch reacting content in general. now im watching you almost every day
I've been here since the beginning of the time. i remember doing some wholesome things in life and also watching them throughout the days
I've watched the whole opm season 1&2 2 times but I came across these guys and now I'm watching it a third time, good job
Been watching since AoT episode 1. Really liked your group vibe so I have stuck around until now. What a journey!
Did u realize that the kid that was attacked 3 years ago was the butt-chin and Saitama is the reason for the hero association.
Been here since AOT second season, really love your content ! One of your french fan 🐓
just doing as Im told. 1x1 of OPM and now Im here. already cant wait for you guys to react to season 2
Fun fact: Saitama's voice actor also voiced the Kakushi guy who woke Tanjiro up in front of the Hashira in Demon Slayer
First video I watched from you guys was the reaction to Warriors. I remember seeing it blow up onto my recommended and then went back to see the earlier reactions and have been watching since! Love to see the anime journey, and it also has gotten me to watch new shows like Vinland Saga so I wouldn't be spoiled by the videos.
not an OG , not also new , but love watching your guys reaction , its my way of rewatching my favorite anime
I've been here since your first video - AOT Ep 1. It's always fun to see your reactions and I can't wait to see more!
I’m so glad YT had this on my recommended feed all those series ago, back at the beginning… from you, 2000 years ago…
I've been watching since AoT. I enjoy rewatching my fave animes with you guys 😆
met you guys from JJK reaction, it's been a fun ride since
I caught your first upload boys love the channel
Yo, been around since AoT, first watched, emm, I dont remember maybe somewhere before that 'betrayal reveal' for I remember being so pumped to watch that reaction. I was hooked and binged all the previous episodes (was sad that one episode was missing), and watched every single episode that came. I was real mad when that copyright strike shitstorm happened, was praying everyday to get to see you guys again. The only videos I didn't watch 'yet' though are from the series that I myself haven't watched, just to avoid getting spoiled but once I do catch up, I'll catch up.
1:30 you said to comment. I'm that guy who carried y'all to a win in a 3v3 diamond tournament on Rocket League a long time ago. Been here since episode 1 of AOT. Edit: Y'know I'd be down to run that again
BEEN HERE SINCE DAY ONE BABY!! Love your reactions
The algorithm randomly gave me the first AOT video when it came out, I thought it was a lot of fun and it made me reread and finally finish the manga. So thanks for that lol
I can’t wait for you to watch Mob Psycho 100. If OPM is good and entertaining, that one is a masterpiece fr
Naturally I started with AOT, during the final season. Been here for the Chainsaw Man, JJK, and HxH reactions
Since your first video, I have been watching you guys
Really like the animation. If you go slowly through the fight you can see the clever decisions that have been made. The movement of hair and shirt cleverly distracting from the fact that it is just plain white without any stains at all. The explosions are very zoomed in but detailed enough and the backgrounds are all very suitable and blur was used masterfully. The impacts are also on point and feel satisfing (thanks to the amazing sound design)
yo binged all your guys stuff, was so hyped when you watch HotD cause i knew youd watch Got, keep up the good content my g's
Broooooo one punnnnchhhhhhhhh !!!!!! Clicked fast as saitama
Saw AOT 1x1 maybe a month after y’all started posting. Caught up immediately and always kept up. Mad respect for giving a new type of media a try and instead of fighting against it, decided to watch a bunch more. Much love
waving from Denmark. keep up the great content! :)
The funniest thing about the written exams is that the exam was about how you would defeat the mysterious monster in certain situations, so you would have to write cool strategies... Saitama's answers?? *Punch it*
I have been here since your AOT reactions. Crazy how fast your channel grew. Best reaction channel on YT
Been here since your first video, got it recommended by youtube within 30 minutes of uploading.
Following your channel since the first episode of Attack on Titan. Love your videos😊
your 97th subscriber here! miss those AOT times, damn
Been here since day one! Waiting for you guys to drop FMAB so that I can see it for the 8th time 🤣
I've started to watch you guys since Attack on Titan episode 1. I loved seeing your reactions on everything that would go down in the show
