re-watching the first episode of One Punch Man, my only issue with the animation is at several points it felt too rubbery. That works with some series but it really takes away the weight of Saitama's punches. The gore wasn't there for shock value, it was to stress the brutality of even a single attack, which was contrasted by his casual indifference, thus humor. It doesn't kill it and they avoid it when it matters most but it does lessen it to a degree.
Also shame for missing that joke in episode two
