So I recently binged watch all of One Punch Man and I know I'm about behind but I'm glad I got the chance to finally watch it. The series is fantastic in every way and especially in it's comedy. The series is of course about a hero who trains and eventually become the strongest living being possible to where he becomes bored with life. It raises the question in how can you enjoy something if it's not challenging. Villains appear through out the series as well as the world being invaded by immense powerful beings that would give Goku a run for his money and yet Saitama is unfazed by it.

However even though Saitama is the main focus, that doesn't mean the whole show is centered on him. The show introduces countless other heroes in My Hero Academia fashion and it gives a backdrop and fills the universe. Its a serious show at time and some characters have to deal with serious consequences until Saitama shows up accidentally and solves there problem in the last minutes of the episode. You may not think a show structured around a god like person would be interesting or emotional but it is and it strikes a cord within us all.

Like Saitama, humans sometimes lose hope or become disinterested once they reach the peak or at least what they think is their peak in a certain craft. It's kind of like a mid-life crisis where you feel the grind of everyday and that you wish for challenge in your life to stimulate you. This show is amazing and completely worth the hype around it and I can't for the next season. This has been Revisited, thanks for reading. Ricardo signing off
