Pro A legend in his own right
Pro Slow burn, great arcs

Pro Short and sweet
This show gets to the point without feeling rushed. You won't find characters spending three episodes charging an attack for three episodes, unlike other more drawn out shows.

Whenever a villain appears, all the heroes gets beaten badly but just after the heroes are beaten, Saitama appears out of nowhere & beats the villain. Nothing special about this.

It has oversimplified animation.
Con Superhero genre
Parody or not, superhero genre is boring from it's begining.
Con Very predictable
The story is always simple and predictable taking away the thrill of any fights in the show.
