For my presentation, I'm think about approaching the topic of comedy in much more contemporary Shounen Anime. In particular, I will talk about Studio ONE's hits One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100. Both of these Anime show their inspiration from the classic Shounen Anime formula, with battle hungry fighters and intense action sequences. With the skill cap in art constantly growing, One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 deliver very dynamic fights to their audiences. However, both of these shows also place great emphasis on comedy as well as action.
Take the quirky moments in Dragon Ball Z where the Z Fighters get to catch a break and enjoy food or some other activity in between battles in a filler episode, and place those in One Punch Man / Mob Psycho 100 that give much more meaning and context to the characters. Comedy has been a relief from tension in entertainment for a while now and One Punch Man / Mob Psycho 100 give us this relief in ways that we can appreciate.
This project would fit best in Week 11: Shounen and Seinen
