I’m not usually a fan of live action versions of anime, but this was pretty well done. Plus, One Punch Man… Hard to go wrong 🙂 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/xMFUNpBmMt4/maxresdefault.jpg "ONE PUNCH MAN LIVE ACTION - Saitama vs Genos | RE:Anime") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMFUNpBmMt4) ---

That was cute - it did a good job capturing the self-aware ridiculous of the cartoon. ---

That totally fucking rocks! What a great job they did! I agree with **Johnny** : they perfectly captured the vibe of the cartoon. ---

That was brilliantly done. It’s amazing what you can do with CGI these days. If I’d change anything, the actor playing Genos needed to do more of that dramatic anime overenunciation that animated Genos (and pretty much everyone else in the show other than Saitama) does. The contrast always amuses me. ---

They got one thing wrong… it’s _udon_ they go and grab, not _ramen_. Otherwise, that was perfect, down to Saitama’s goofy walk. Great FX, too. ---
