Hi

I am a great fan of anime but I am having trouble finding the right anime for me at this very moment. So I would like to ask you the MyAnimeList Community to give me a hand.

I am currently looking for an anime where the main character is extremely overpowering his friends and foes.

E.g. Chrome Shelled Regios - Alseif{not sure whether the character name is right}
Kaze no Stigma - Kazuma

I have researched the topic all over the internet but I seem to be unable to find something that I haven't seen.

P.S. Do not say "Goku" please I really don't like Dragon Ball...

NOTE: I have seen Hellsing and I do not believe Black Lagoon is anything close to the description of OP MC.

Thank You

Heroic Age-MC can shatter planet with punches and destroy interstellar war fleets with ease, the only ones who pose a threat are creatures of his own species.
Diebuster-Nono fucks shit up.
um...Superman.
If you 're looking for things beside anime as well, the Japanese Godzilla movies are an example. Godzilla is often portrayed as an unstoppable OP beast.

Hi Guys

I am really thankful for the quick reply from everyone!

I see that you really understand me what I mean when I write insane OP characters.

Gathering from the posts so far I can clearly see some epic titles which unfortunately are no strangers to me. These are:
- Hellsing Ultimate
- Death Note
- Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
- Darker than Black
- IS: Infinite Stratos
- Nurarihyon no Mago
- Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

I am new to MAL but I am an old anime fan, with lots of experience; currently have 6TB home server packed with streaming server especially for my entertainment needs {1.5TB of that is anime}. So it is hard to get surprised by an anime title.
But I must admit that I am extremely delighted to have joined this community since I am able to spot some titles which I haven't seen yet and they look promising {related to OP MC}.

Such animes are:
- Basilisk
- Akagi
- Fist of the North Star
- Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
- Rurouni Kenshin
- Samurai Champloo


Once again thanks and keep them coming I am really liking your suggestions.

The MC from Legend of the Legendary Heroes is practically all powerful when he loses control, but the anime has no conclusive end.

Trigun fits the bill, but he kinda tones himself down for his opponents. If you think about it though, killing someone is easy, but beating them while keeping them alive and they try to kill you is hard.

Black Blood Brothers is a decent one that I enjoyed. He gets weakened from huge disadvantages in order to present a challenge to him, but he is definitely overpowering.

Casshern Sins the MC is practically invincible. It gets a bit episodic and boring around the middle, but it is definitely worth the watch later on if you like overpowering. I don't want to spoil it.

Golgo 13 is episodic and the MC is just a badass gunman who does the impossible over and over. It gets kind of old, but fits the desc.

Sword of the Stranger is a good movie that fits. He isn't crazy strong, but some of the stuff he does later on puts him down as overpowering in my book.

I would also like to say Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou because hes a demon lord.

I would recommend Trinity Blood, MC (Abel Nightroad) can transform into something that only like 1-3 can transform into.. And hes highly overpowered.

Chrome Shell Regios, MC is highly overpowered and is better than everyone in his academy, and he also has hidden powers from the rest of the academy that shows up in like 1-3 till episodes till the end of the series.

My search for an OP character led me here. I'm going to check out kaze no stigma. If you want someone really OP, I would really suggest:

Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo
http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=15315

It's not really a harem although it appears to be, and it's not hentai either. The MC, Izayoi, is super powerful not just physically but also mentally as well (he is very smart). He is probably more powerful than the MC from chrome shelled regios.

Medaka Box.. seems to fit the criteria.

Medaka lives for humanity's sake, she loves everybody, especially her enemies, and she constantly fights to reform them into good guys. Also she's invincible. Later on, an antagonist refuses to fight her because "If this was a weekly Shounen Jump, she would be the main character, and the villain never wins against the main character." Medaka is special. By the age of 3 she could solve any problem on Earth. She can beat up the bad guys, she's always right, and she's got the biggest rack in the show. At one point, she wins a tug of war contest, while the entire opposing team consists of the rest of her school.

Suprised no one said Sword Art Online? The maincharacter has one of the biggest bullshit overpowered shit I can think of. If you like Anime characters like that SAO might come to your liking.

The main character is displayed to be overpowered through the entire serie.

-Samurai Champloo - the two dudes, not the chick
-Claymore - not the MC, but a LOT of the other characters are epic
-Neon Genesis Evangelion - ok, before anyone grills me, although seemingly a pussy, when Shinji snaps, something's getting mutilated beyond recognition
-Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete - not an anime, 3d animation, but Cloud's a badass
