Me at the start of OPM: Haha, Mumen Rider's such a dork. He's a great joke character

Me caught up on OPM: MUMEN RIDER IS AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL, HE'S SO NOBLE AND FIGHTS EVEN AGAINST UNWINNABLE ODDS BECAUSE HE'S SO GODDAMN PURE-HEARTED, MUMEN RIDER FOR PRESIDENT 2020

My irrational love for talking shit about Amai Mask is surpassed only by my love of talking love about Mumen Rider.

Mumen Rider: *breathes*

Me: Oh my God I would die for you, holy shit you're doing amazing and I hope you have a wonderful day buddy

Amai Mask: *breathes*

Me: Fuck off pretty boy, go film a L'oreal commercial and preen over your immaculate eyebrows and idol status as a hero while manipulating any up-and-coming Hero you think you can use to advance your own career. Boo, you whore.

I'm on episode 9 of my rewatch of season 1 and I haven't seen season 2 yet, but still I don't trust this bitch. Pretty boy, only gives a damn about hobnobbing with A and S rank Heroes and promoting his trash idol music and flavorless commercially-produced films. I bet he's called Amai Mask because he hides his true assholish nature behind a mask of sweetness 🤔

Okay I finished S1 and I'm watching the Special Episodes and OVAs before getting to S2. I have a few thoughts so far:

I forgot how much I loved Boros, that one-eyed alien warlord can GET IT

I like whenever you see an episode or a scene or something from a show and it's just the animators busting the biggest artistic nut and going all out with what's left of the budget. Like "okay, last episode of season one, we're animating the big battle. Go fucking nuts, guys"

MUMEN RIDERRRRR

Amai Mask is the most Toreador-clan bitch alive. I swear to GOD if the reason he's obsessed with beauty is because he's secretly super ugly or something, I'm going to laugh my ass off. Knowing my taste, I'd probably thirst over his ugly form more than his pretty boy Gucci-ad looking ass.

I can't believe Metal Bat missed his sister's piano recital just to get bitched at by Amai Mask for not doing a good job. Did YOU miss YOUR little sister's recital because you were fighting an alien? No? Then sit your twunk ass down and go back to your garbage drama film shoot.

So Metal Knight was one of the figures who tried to kill Hammerhead, right? What, uh...what the fuck is THAT about. Is HE gonna be the cyborg who murked Genos's entire family? Also props to Hammerhead, applying for a job and visiting his mom and dad. I'm proud of you, dude.

Where is Blast? Does he just chill and do his own thing unless it's an enemy NOBODY else can defeat?

I WOULD LIKE. TO SEE GAROU. I was told that I would likely become a Garou hoe/stan when he appeared, so I'm very excited to see him in season 2.

Do we ever get to see Puri-Puri Prisoner's boyfriend? How does he feel about the whole "my bf can't stop going after handsome men" thing?

So...people can turn into monsters in OPM (like the dude who ate so much crab, he became a crab monster). If that's the case, then could Saitama be so powerful because his willpower and desire to be strong or something MADE him super powerful? Is it like Persona 5 rules where mindset and desires can either give you a shit ton of power or make you into a monster if they're distorted? If so, then what the fuck's making that happen?

Does Saitama ever get a therapist, because...it's pretty clear he's got some kind of depression. I mean now that he's the strongest THING ever, he doesn't really have a purpose. I mean idk how much a therapist could do, but CBT and maybe helping him find a new purpose/motivation in life could really help. The psych major in me is hopeful that with Genos and other friends Saitama makes, he could develop a good support system. All the physical power in the world doesn't matter when you hit a low point in depression, after all. And the anime fan in me is like "haha he punch good, can't wait to see him punch more good in season 2"

Rewatching OPM Season 1 to get myself refreshed for when I watch season 2. I can safely say that Saitama, Genos, and Sonic are still my top 3 husbandos in that series after all this time 👌
