The one thing they did that was to be expected was play the opening during the fight scene. I'm glad I have good speakers, because they were on max during the entire fight and I'm sure my neighbors enjoyed that. My jaw was dropped the entire time.
Secondly, they changed literally nothing. Okay, that's not true. They did change Saitama not talking on the moon, but I think that was for a more dramatic atmosphere. What he was supposed to be thinking was "can I breathe here?" and "I hear the gravity is different, can I make the jump back to earth?" It's not a big change and honestly it's nothing to critique. They did a good job changing it and I'm actually pleased.
Overall this episode was outstanding. I'm not a big shonen fan. I much prefer mystery and solving puzzles, but when a good webcomic gets animated such as One Punch Man, you can't really not watch it.
And for the people that will be curious: Season two is more than likely going to happen. It will take a long time, but realize that the manga is still on-going and this takes time. He's redrawing from a webcomic that any kid in elementary could come up with, so Muruta will either be working hard to get it going or he'll stay on pace of "maybe we'll have a chapter this month, maybe we won't." The next concern is Madhouse and if they're going to be doing it, but I think when they see how much money they'll get from Merchandise and such, there is no way they'll ignore it. The manga sales are going to sky-rocket after this.
OST release: January.
Season two(possibility) and fights to look forward to: Garou. It's 10x better than this one.
