Best Anime Like One Punch Man

ORIGINAL POST

I'm looking for shonen, superpower, adventure, magic, no harem, no or little romance sort of anime. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I have a list of anime with similar genres I have already watched and liked to share with you also.

Noragami (highly reccomend both seasons)

Black Clover (I promise the main character does kinda calm down/you get used to it)

Bleach (skip the filler ��)

Naruto (good for a lot of episodes but Boruto seem eh..)

Blue Exorcist

Boku no Hero Academia (loved all seasons)

Shingeki no Kyojin (I've only seen through season 2)

Hunter × Hunter

One Punch Man

World Trigger (wish there was more, entertaining but no second season so it feels kinda incomplete)

Hataraku Maou-sama! (Pretty light and funny)

Anyway, these are just a few I enjoyed. Thanks for your time!

Full Metal ALchemist Brotherhood -- 2nd best shounen anime IMO.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann -- the 2nd manliest show in the world.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure -- The manliest show in the world

I'd watch JOJO first, it's a sick show and there's a lot of hype surrounding the series right now with a 5th season being released this fall.

You can just pick series you think you would enjoy starting from the top of this list though https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php probably the easiest way :)

Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) would like to have a word.

For those of you who haven't heard of it, the 'omae wa mou shindeiru' meme is from this show.

Gintama is mostly comedy at first but once the serious arcs get going it's more like what you're looking for (though the comedy is great too imho). And no romance, more of a focus on friendship/family. It's more sci fi than magic technically, but it's not too technical so it serves a similar role as magic tbh, and in later arcs there is a lot of magic type stuff brought in. Also the main characters aren't super powered (well Kagura is kinda since she's an alien with super strength) but they tend to go up against enemies with super powers and the main characters are definitely stronger than normal humans.

Also if you liked One Punch Man I also highly recommend Mob Psycho 100. They're both good (they're made by the same guy) but to me Mob Psycho is by far the superior series as far as characters and storytelling goes. It has a similar theme involving a character dealing with OP superpowers, but it goes in a different direction with it, and goes into a lot more depth on the topic. Plus the action scenes are fucking phenomenal.

Thanks! How long does it take approximately to get to the more serious arcs?

1 upvotes on reddit

Ppleater · 7 years ago

About 60 episodes into Gintama give or take is the first genuinely serious arc, though there are some minor pseudo-serious arcs before then, I don't really recommend skipping, since the lead up episodes do a lot to set up the characters and their relationships, plus other important plot points that resurface later. The only episodes I'd say you should skip are the first two episodes, which for some reason were filler. The canon episodes start at episode 3. After that the filler episodes aren't very common, and they're pretty much indistinguishable from canon so you don't have to worry about skipping them.

There is a movie, which is tied in to the story more than most anime movies would be (and is also a really damn good movie). You can watch it after episode 265.

In the first part of Dragon ball when Goku is still a child you can feel the sense of adventure and wonder that we know and love in One Piece, I'm pretty sure that Oda was influenced by it.

any recommendations for an anime as enjoyable and entertaining to watch as One Punch Man?

Posted by Class_Wooden · in r/AnimeReccomendations · 3 months ago

it’s definitely not up there for objective best anime of all time, but it’s probably my all time most enjoyable anime to watch. when it’s trying to be funny, it is, but it also can be serious and pretty good. it blends the two really well i think. theres enough plot to keep it going and it not being a bunch of random stuff, but also where random, meaningless in the long term stuff can still happen a lot while the plot develops. it also has a great diverse cast of entertaining characters.

whatever anime you recommend doesn’t have to meet any of this “criteria”, it’s up to you what you find to be the most enjoyable and entertaining, but this is what i like so much about OPM and i’m looking for another anime to fill that void after waiting years for another season. i also want to note that i’m not specifically only asking for super light hearted, barely plot driven anime’s. i’m open to any of them, but that’s not all that i’m requesting

Did you enjoy the sub-plot of all the characters hyping up "King" when he is in reality just a helpless everyday joe?

2 upvotes on reddit

Class_Wooden · OP · 3 months ago

definitely, it was among the more interesting side plots. is there an anime about a guy like that or something?

2 upvotes on reddit

abandoned_idol · 3 months ago

You catch on fast.

"Let this Grieving Soul Retire!" is a cheeky self-aware parody that mixes the infinitely escalated renown of "King" with the global obliviousness featured in the "Gamers!" anime.

The protagonist is a loser, unredeemable and a lost cause. But what makes him stand out is his supernatural power to unintentionally attract almost Eldritch disasters through his awful luck, causing grief to everyone, especially himself. This has caused his personality to warp into "perpetual denial" and earned him false renown as the most powerful and cunning adventurer.

He also has childhood friends, they're... interesting.

The main appeals of this anime are: a goofy soundtrack, a playful narrator, everyone gaslighting themselves, a snowballing misunderstanding that has taken on a life of its own (and will never die), just enough hidden information to keep the audience guessing "what's REALLY happening?!", an unironically cool sounding electric guitar OP song, a really silly ED song, and lastly, characters delivering the preview of the upcoming episode through humorous rap battles.

I also recommend "Gamers!" if you like misunderstandings that are NEVER resolved.

Mashle is the closest anime to One Punch Man atm. If you like one I’d be surprised you don’t like the other.

Mashle has more comedy than action and it’s fantasy based. One Punch Man has more action than comedy and it’s super hero based. They’re both shonen.

This show gave me so many epic moments and laughs, and it’s clear why it’s so beloved. Now I guess it’s time to gear up for what’s next—or brace myself for the wait. Once again, thank you for guiding me toward this masterpiece. You guys are the best!

OPM is a guy who wnats to be strong, seeks conflict and becoming bored , Mob is OP but just wants to be normal and gets dragged into conflict. The fights in it are sublime (animated by BONES) and it is very well written, probably better than OPM once you finish S02 and look back
