Seems to me, anime's get dubbed because they are worth watching/broadcasting to a larger audience if anything. Or adultswim netflix ect. Wouldnt waste the time/money

Simply put to call dubs entry level seems to me like a generalization that attempts to undercut some hugely succesful anime's

Dont get me wrong there are great anime's that arent mainstream as well, but it seems snoby to me to dislike dubbed just based on the fact theyre dubbed, like some hipster bs. Even the japaneese wish they spoke english come on...

Honestly, I couldn't quite get into the series.
It appeared to have potential, and it's clearly popular.
But after 2 episodes, I couldn't remain interested.
Is there a point at which it really pulls you in?

Probably a better story tbh.

But still, I intend on giving OPM a chance at some point.

Well it has a pretty anti climatic type of humor/storyline ,which i think is somthing you either love or hate to be honost. Its very different i can see how it may turn some people on or off from it just as easily

I find it refreshing and unique and really just hilarious

I appreciate the adequate response.

"Anticlimatic" is a great way to describe it, haha. Humor has never really been my thing in anime, unless it's very subtle, kind of like the way the protagonist of Erased refers to his mom as "yokai" from time to time. One Punch Man was definitely unique in a way I hadn't seen in quite some time. Does the story develop into anything a bit more serious at some point? If the series has such a huge fan base, then there's definitely something that didn't reveal itself just in those first 2 episodes alone.

Watching something as it was intended to be watched is mostly why subs are regarded as better.

It was intended to be watched in Japanese, not with shitty translations that are often inaccurate or dumbed down as much as possible...

I appreciate someone who is actually in the topic with interest in the series and not some off topic debate , i like you have only now become interested in opm, so i am only 2 episodes in as well, how ever a few things became clear to me quickly . In most anime's say dbz for instance its repetitive in the sense that say goku will always be in a tough fight time after time he will come up against stronger opponets that while odds may be against him (the viewer in the back of there mind will realize he will pull through on top because he is the main character)

Now in one punch man its almost the exAct opposite where there are no tough opponets and you almost have to accept he will never face an opponet that will challenge him (beyond one punch or he would seize to be the one punch man) this is a plot that really caught my attention as somthing different

One other thing that i really find interesting. Is that he almost has this seperate internal struggle of dealing with the how mundane life has become for him with out a real challenging opponet to face (much like dbz where goku for instance is always excited for a strong fight)

This seperate internal plot became evident and emphasized when saitama has the dream of the mole men or w.e who give him a strong run for his money. I almost like the secondRy internAl plot above the main one
