Whats up?
I made a community and you guys were kind enough to show up. I don’t expect this thing to take off in any major way, but I figure it’d be a good idea to kind of lay out what I’m planning here. That way we’re on the same page, and I can hear feedback and ideas that anyone has regarding the community. All that can go here, in this thread.
I’m not the power-tripping type, and frankly I’m open to whatever. So fire away.
Anyway, the housekeeping.
Chapters
I typically catch chapters the day of release, and I’ll try to be prompt about getting a link up here. Full disclosure, I am not at all involved in the translation. So, in that regard we are kind of at the whims of another team. This could change in the future, but that is the deal as of now. I’m open to throwing the untranslated chapters up as well. It’s not something I check out, but if people here want it, no big deal.
Further, I can have a somewhat chaotic schedule and there are points where I will be tied up. If a release occurs during a particularly busy week I’ll likely be late with the upload. In that case, I have no issue with someone else throwing up the chapter. I’m not going to go around deleting threads because I didn’t get to post them. There’s not a ton of people here, so I don’t foresee us having an issue with a bunch of members posting the new chapter at once.
The Vibe
As a community we have to have some form of rules. I think. It’s definitely a good idea either way. Currently, the all encompassing “stay chill” constitutes the whole of the law. In essence:
-
Don’t be a dick
-
No racist/sexist/etc. shit (I will make fun of you)
-
Just enjoy a fun manga about a bald dude that punches real good.
The community is currently not marked NSFW. So, just…no overt porn, please. I don’t want it dominating(hot) the community, and I guarantee you there is a plethora of separate places to find and share your goods.
As for the look, I’ve forgone the banner at this point. Personally, I like the simple look with the simple Saitama. As with most things regarding the community, I’m open to change. Feel free to post some choices for a banner, and we’ll figure out which we like best.
Third Act
Again, I welcome input here. Drop whatever thoughts you have below.
I’m happy to see a few people join, and love seeing the little bit of activity we’ve got so far. I’m hoping to build this into something just big enough to have a little discussion after a chapter drops and memes in between. If you can dig it, I hope you stick around.
Thank you for creating this community, modeling it after the Reddit one, and clearly stating the rules. It’s the only manga I followed on Reddit.
BTW, if anyone craves OPM adult fanart, help LemmyNSFW grow instead. I think it’s a great idea that porn mainly lives on one (or few) instances, so it is both equally accessible and private.
Glad you found us! I used to pop into that sub for chapters, but didn’t hang around too much. Really, the structure here is just what I thought would be the least restrictive and most effective option. If there are other things the old sub does that are good ideas definitely let me know.
Feel free to drop some links for the NSFW communities in this thread. Might be a good resource to have for people who come here expecting that, and help those communities grow a bit. I’d do it, but that’s something I’m not quite well-versed in so I don’t know what communities to link.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy your time here.
Two months late to the party but I’m glad this community exists. One Punch Man has been and will probably always be one of my favorite anime/mangas of all time, I just love it so much.
In terms of suggestions, the only thing I can think of is maybe a link to the OPM discord? Otherwise I got nothing haha .
