Just saw it last night and just wow... the 48fps during the fast moving action sequences was mind blowing. Even if you don't like the "Avatar story", this is worth the watch just for the ground-breaking mix of CGI and 48fps. The movie even slows down to 24fps (the usual film speed) for dramatic scenes. A technical marvel and makes MCU movies' CGI mediocre (and even bad) in comparison.
The first one was never one of my favorite movies, but this one is just so immersive, I'd definitely recommend it just for how revolutionary it is, technologically speaking. I also love how the majority of the main characters are all "aliens" and we buy into it instantly. Years ago if a character was CGI it would look "off", but this movie proves that CGI has gotten to a breathtakingly believable level and I'm here for it.

Like many franchises these days, this franchise had the perfect send off with an earlier film but the execs felt the need to pump another out that does nothing whatsoever to enhance the story.
One Punch Man. There's nothing like it. It's funny, it's action packed, it's heart felt and the animation is a blast to watch. One Punch Man incorporates all the best aspects of anime into one show. The main aspect it nails is the played trope of "over-powered" characters in anime. I grew up watching Dragonball Z, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun and this is up there with the absolute best.
The protagonist "Saitama" can one punch anything and I mean anything. It could be the most bad-ass, giant, demonic monster in the universe and when push comes to shove - he'll one punch the beast into oblivion. But here's the thing that makes the show unique - it constantly makes fun of his "over-powered" status in the way Saitama nonchalantly disposes of his opponents. He's bored with how over-powered he is and he wants a challenge... but here's the thing... there's no challenge big enough for his fist.
Saitama's a peaceful man, who's bald and doesn't work out as hard as all the other aspiring heroes in his world, so when a hero/beast confronts him with their over-powered show-boating tactics, Saitama is about as relaxed one could be when facing certain death and that's what makes me laugh. In Saitama's world, the heroes are ranked with the highest being "S" and then down to "A", "B" and "C". It gets funnier - even though he's clearly the strongest hero in the world, he's not even close to the top in rankings.
Without spoiling anything - season 1 has the better animation out of the two but season 2 is still a blast and retains all the comedy and heart of season 1. What are you doing with your life? Go watch this right now.
