One Punch Man

Both are hero animes and while One Punch Man is already strong, the character around him are similar to those in Boku no Hero Academia. They both feature a lot of different heroes and their daily struggle. One Punch Man is a little darker in tone and if you want a strong protagonist from the get-go, try saiki kusuo no Ψ-nan or psycho mob 100 !

- The main characters genuinely want to save people.

SUPERHEROES: the main characters dream of becoming a superhero that saves mankind for the good of all--both leads have their own charisma.  Having "superheroes" or "quirks" is the norm, with villains appearing in streets of the city daily for these heroes to defeat. There is a superhero system where the government pays for their service. Very funny and good all round story lines.

Both focus on super heroes; the contrast is how one focuses on an insanely strong hero while the other focuses on someone without powers with the goal of becoming a hero.

If superheroes are your thing, you'll enjoy both of these anime~
Both categorize under Shonen, and have aspects of comedy.
Differing in places, such as the main of OPM being completely overpowered, the main of BNHA has to build himself up from the bottom, at the being of the series. (although later in OPM you find out that Saitama also had to build himself up)
Both deal with getting into the biggest leagues, with OPM it's the Hero's Association, and with BNHA it's the U.A. School.

The two shows follow a main character who have a power augmentation type ability and are trying to become a hero in their respective shows. In the two shows there is a hero ranking system and it functions side by side with the government. Boku no Hero Academia is geared more towards a school setting, while One Punch Man is more about the job of being a hero itself. Both are still great watches and are highly recommended.

The world in OPM and BHA are both populated with a ton of heroes. 
However in OPM, only a hand full of heroes have super powers while it is basically rare for a person to not have a Quirk (powers) in BHA.
The animation in both series are great. It is definitely more detailed in OPM while BHA takes a more 'comic book' like animation style. 
If you like watching an anime filled with people using superpowers to fight each other, both OPM and BHA are perfect for you. OPM takes a comedic/gag route while BHA has a more serious take on the 'superhero' genre (don't get me wrong. BHA is still pretty funny).

In both shows, superheroes and having supernatural abilities are normal, being a hero is an occupation and chaos is almost everywhere. Similarly, the main MCs of the series experienced unfair treatment and share the desire to help people.

Both animes series are based on the ''hero'' subject.
Both are showing a comedy side , and an action or ''fighting'' side (but BNHA is a bit more serious).   
OPM has the Hero Association when BNHA has the ''Hero academia''.
A difference is that in OPM heroes are not as rare as in Boku no Hero Academia
They have animation similarities too.

There is a large emphasis on the concept of heroes and organizations dedicated to them. What makes this interesting is that while both series at the core share many similarities, Saitama and Midoriya will offer differing perspectives on this idea.

Both shows feature "ordinary looking" main characters who, although they once were completely ordinary, have gained supernatural powers. However, I'd say Boku no Hero Academia is a "school life" anime as well as a superhero one, and is a little bit less violent than One Punch Man. For this reason, I think Boku no Hero Academia is a bit more suited for kids. Both are really funny though!

Boku no hero academia is similar to one punch man because they both have superheroes in them and the main character has to work really hard to become a super hero.

- They both portray societies in which super heroes are commonplace.
- In both there are heroes who care enough about their rank / popularity and others who only care about doing what is right
- The difference would be the protagonists, being that Midoriya started being the weakest and after receiving the One For All from All Might is evolving, and Saitama who after so much training became bald and defeats anyone with just one punch.
- Although the protagonists are different, on several occasions they will thrill you, surprise you.

If you liked the super hero aspect of One Punch Man then you might like Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia). Boku no Hero also has comedy but don't expect it to be as good as One Punch Man. One Punch Man is a parody of cliché shonen anime and Boku no Hero is a shonen but it feels fresh in some way so give it a shot and decide for yourself.

Both Boku no Hero Academia and One Punch-Man are similar to each other as both storyline's focuses on superheroes, supervillains, and amazing shounen battle

Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man were written by the same man, a web comic artist called ONE. So both of these shows share a similar theme of humor and integrate it into bombastic, over the top action scenes. ONE's talent to emotionally connect the audience to his larger-than-life characters in a smooth, natural way is also used to its fullest in Mob Psycho 100. Each show is gorgeously animated and is backed by an appropriately great OST.

Mob Psycho 100 is the obvious progression for anyone who was a fan of One Punch Man. Given they are both products of the writer One they carry many of the same tropes, namely the dead-pan, obscenely powerful protagonist. However, I believe that Mob Psycho 100 brings more emotion to the table than OPM. There are emotional moments in OPM, but Mob Psycho 100 really takes it home because where Saitama lacks ambition and is only a hero as a hobby, Mob has ambition, just ludicrously misplaced. In this way Mob seems to me to be a more relatable  and in-depth character than Saitama. The supporting cast of MP1 is also a big step up. I love Genos just as much as anyone else, but he can be a bit... robotic. MP1 basically takes the premise and style of OPM, and improves on it in a way that makes an even more engaging and interesting story.  If you liked One Punch Man, you will love Mob Psycho 100. read more

Overlord addpermalink

The first thing I thought when watching Overlord, it's very much like One Punch Man. Overlord and One Punch Man got similar style while having different setting. You can tell the anime would be similar as their openings are similar style music. The main characters Momonga/Ainz and Saitama are also extremely strong, but not OP lame, they're strong that you want to see them go in FOR THE KILL !!!!! Dependable heroes.

Let's say the basis of comparison goes with overpowering, overwhelming main characters. That's it. Once their plot is stitched with the characterization nevermind if it's going to be complex or not, you're gonna simply sit back and say, 'hmmm...why not? Why could we not indulge to that?'

Both are similar in mc being too strong

But both have different ways of telling their stories. 
Overlord is more story driven while one punch man is more on comedy
The mc is serious in overlord while the mc is not in one punch man 

If someone prefer a story with strong and serious mc in a world that focus more on evil atmosphere and story. I would recommend Overlord.

the two most OP main characters I've ever seen. they're unstoppable in their  respective series. you can't help but laugh a little when Saitama/Ains decides "ok, that's enough" and finishes off the enemy, the way you or I would flick a booger

One Punch Man:
Saitama = OP mc, dominates everything while also tying in some conflict and storyline

Overlord:
Follows a similar "SAO" VR-reality entrapment theme, but looks at the situation in a MUCH MORE different way. MC was the #1 before AND after he was trapped in the game -- basically OP as hell. He seeks to thus dominate the whole world and spread his legend: literally "playing" god.
Similar to One Punch Man, it's super "fresh" and more original with its "screw character adversity growth" kinda theme and gives a totally powerhouse outlook.
However, it also does have its more serious and less jokingly moments: (not completely broken + OP as our beloved Saitama) with its times of actual strife, and character development is definitely more than adequate.

Although not exactly the same, the main characters of both stories share personality traits. Gintoki and Saitama are not overly concerned over their public image and are willing to blemish their reputations to accomplish a goal. They both also display nonchalance in extreme situations and are also the strongest fighters in their respective universes. Unlike Saitama though, Gintoki has displayed cowardice and laziness in certain situations and will avoid trouble if possible. The settings in each anime are also similar in that they contain futuristic and fantastic elements, such as the presence of aliens and the usage of advanced technologies. 
Each anime also approaches comedy from a similar angle. Both Gintama and One Punch Man employ satire but through different means. One Punch Man employs satire through character designs whereas Gintama uses referential dialogues and cameo appearances. read more

Gintoki and Saitama have a common ideal,  They fight for their own reasons and not to appease others. They are too lazy... Gintoki is lazy by birth whereas Saitama gets lazy as he lacks a serious opponent time after time. They are funny and when they get serious they'll bring devastation upon their enemies. While Gintoki (Shiroyasha)  is a lazy samurai living by his own rules, Saitama is just a guy that serves as a hero for a hobby.

By far later episodes of One Punch Man really gave me a strong Gintama vibe. Why?

* They both are about the misadventures of it's heroes (Gintama with a samurai, OPM with a tokusatsu hero)
* REALLY similar parodic humor, including high levels of randomness.
* In plot, both would start out without a particular story arc whatsoever until this kind of stuff would later come, while Gintama tries to be more episodic with it's own arcs.
* Both also have good fight scenes.

There are some dissimilarities, like OPM having less females and a highly overpowered MC, and Gintama touching a lot of references to other series and being more longer.

They will not dissapoint in the anime comedy zone and will get you hooked for more. And also, be sure to check out the OPM manga if you want more of it. read more

A modernised and commercialised / 'business' approach to the concept of superheroes existing in our world. Heroes are ranked based on points awarded AND subtracted for their actions in the line of duty. Public relations - mainly in terms of popularity - is also a factor. Every self-respecting hero needs a fan club, after all!

In One Punch Man it is less important since it is more of a cartoonishly over the top series with hero rankings as window dressing, where as in Tiger & Bunny the entire plot is built around 'idol culture' televised heroics.

In One Punch Man, the blond instantly idolizes the older one while in Tiger & Bunny, the main characters take more time to warm up to each other.

One Punch Man and Kill la Kill are both satirical anime which lampoon common anime tropes to great comedic effect. In One Punch Man, the writers play off of the classic "normal guy becomes a superhero and saves the world" trope by creating a character that's just a hero as a hobby, and is so overwhelmingly powerful that even battles with super-villains become boring (to him, anyway). In Kill la Kill, we see a play on the "mysterious transfer student shakes up the high-school" trope by making the main character a Female *gasp* and through the writers using their viewers' fanservice expectations as an actual plot device. The main character's fighting abilities seem to be related to the amount of skin she shows, turning the fanservice, something that is normally only objectifying, into a source of strength. 

"But Tacit," you might say, "One Punch Man doesn't have any fanservice." Well that is... kind of true. While there isn't much fanservice, that doesn't mean the authors aren't aware of their viewers' fanservice expectations. This is the reason Saitama keeps showing up in a shirt that says "Oppai" (which I would translate as "Boobies"), it's the animators giving a satirical nod to fanservice in the anime industry. 

Beyond their satirical nature, both anime are wonderfully animated, beautifully scored, populated by interesting characters, and supported by expertly choreographed fight-scenes. On the off-chance that you haven't seen these two already, or in case you were considering either anime and just need that final push to start watching them, then I would whole-heartedly recommend both of these shows. Even if you don't pick up on all the satire they are both hugely entertaining anime. I hope you enjoy them!  read more

Super-hero parody.
OP MC, with a bland and funny head (bald derp/helmet), bored and annoyed about his opponents, who are creepy and bragging, struggling in his mundane life, somewhat a loser (shut-in/pachinko).
Becomes more serious near the end.
Sometimes, animation quality is used as a gag (drop for Saitama/Tatsumaki moe-blobs/sakuga).

The aesthetic is more comics and manga in OPM, while tokusatsu in Sunred.
There is a twist with polite villains vs. rude hero in Sunred, as opposed to exaggerated clichéed characters in OPM.
The jokes are more diverse, less repetitive and predictable in Sunred.
The animation quality in OPM is way better, but Sunred's art-style serves it better.

Both anime feature overpowered characters and are both humorous. All the characters are lovable, the fights are great, and the villains are just as good. The major difference is that OPM is a parody and shouldn't be taken seriously while DBZ is a more serious show. It's clear that OPM got inspiration from DBZ.

When you watch a story, you want to see its hero struggle right? But sometimes, there are those stories where the hero fighting isn't the struggle, it's the world around him. Inferno Cop and Saitama never have to worry about losing a fight, but the absurd ways that the world treats them is what drives the humor and wonder of these shows.

report Recommended by Sawp

If you love One Punch Man I'm sure a lot of the reason was the hype you felt every time you watched the intro, every time you heard the OST, and every time a fight scene came up. I don't blame you for feeling that hype, One Punch Man is a fantastic show. I consider it to be the second best anime to come out of 2015; second only to Shokugeki no Souma or Food Wars. If you have not watched this show, fix that. Shokugeki no Souma is half-way between being a parody of a Shounen, and actually being a Shounen. It's a Shounen about food. And trust me, this is the most hyped you will ever get about food, Gordon Ramnsay's everything doesn't even compare. The OST is and the animation in the fight(cooking) scenes is just as amazing as OPM's, with the animation in general being better(if we are including the slice of life parts). I believe the story to be even better than OPM's, as well as the overall hype of the show(I will admit, Shokugeki may have the unfair advantage as it's 24 episodes long). I can honestly tell you that Shokugeki no Souma has the potential to be the best anime you watch for a long time, since I have yet to see a better one. I admit I put Steins;Gate and Cowboy Bebop at about the same level, but I don't consider them to be better or worse per se. I believe Shokugeki no Souma to be one of the best anime to ever grace this world despite its laughable concept and joking nature, and I believe that if you were to watch it there is a good chance you will feel the exact same way.

Now, if you've watched Shokugeki no Souma and haven't seen One Punch Man, where've you been? Even though I don't consider it to be quite on Shokugeki's level, it's still a top tier anime. Easily in the top 10 of 2015 almost regardless of who you ask. I personally consider it to be the second best of 2015, and if you are looking for some more of that hyped feeling after finishing Shokugeki, this is the perfect anime for you. The OST is just as good Shokugeki's and the animation in the fight scenes is just as good as the animation in Shokugeki's cooking scenes. One Punch Man also does not take place in a high school, so you could have a small break from that. Fantastic anime, almost perfect parody of a shounen, and completely worth the re-re-watch.  read more

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei addpermalink

While both shows are very different in terms of story, genres, and setting, the core plot remains the same. Both shows have a protagonist that is viewed upon by most people around them based solely on their social status that was given to them under a sort of ranking system like a review board; which was created with several inadequate fatal flaws that fail to categorize them properly. And yet, everyone blindly accepts that review board as if it was the only one truth, not unlike how many see the Holy Bible; while refusing to see past those previously mentioned flaws and only seeing what they choose to see, hearing only what they want to hear. In the end, while the protagonists have a handful of close people who understand them, the rest of the world do not give them the recognition they deserve, instead looking at them only with scorn, loathing, distrust rooted in the jealousy, and prejudice of their own narrow beliefs. The protagonists however are content with the way things are, being the better man to not let the misguided hate get to them that would utterly crush anyone else under the weight...while continuing their heroic acts with their superior skills, often without the anyone knowing their real name.  read more

But sometimes they give some wise man impression. Both getting involved in some ridiculous situations. Both have selfish gains: one is ''hero for the fun'' and wants to find strong opponent, other - became a teacher to create his own harem (lol), but both helps people in their environment.
