Both series have the same sense of humor and absurd, comedic art packed with high amount of action in each episode, portraying how strong the protagonist is compared to the rest of the characters.
Both series by the same creator "ONE" and both adapted from his iconic web comics.
Unsurprisingly art style, character designs and sense of humour are almost identical.
Both shows have great OST's and animation.
Both of these stories are written by ONE, and have the same sense of humor. They started out as webcomics, although you'll notice that the style is different, as OPM got picked up by a bigger company, and got a new artist, although the story is still written by ONE.
There are several theories that the worlds are actually connected.
Mob and Saitama have very similar personalities, that are along the lines of emotionless, although they both have different reasons for such.
Both build up their allies, and occasionally, foe turns into friend.
Mix of action, comedy and a bit of drama, those series follow overpowered main characters and the troubles their powers cause them and how they deal with it. Both have original works made by the same creator.
Both made from the same creator. Both are action packed with fantastic fight scenes. Both contain humor that will make you LOL. If you watched one of these and you enjoyed it I would defo recommend watching the other.
One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 have a really similar feeling, that being said the both share the same creator. They both contain a ridiculously overpowered main character who has two emotions, "OK" and "K.O"! They even share a similar art-style. I really enjoyed them both~! ღ(❤♡❤ღ) Super Powers FTW!!!
Same creator, same style of comedy, both have similar nice art and a have a very op main character that doesn't seem to care about it.
If you like one of these shows, you will most likely like the other.
Both of these series are really unique on their own but share a similar humor and main character.
The biggest difference is probaly the art Style. One Punch Man used the redrawings from another mangaka while in Mob Psycho 100, Bones went all out and used ONE's original drawings. Which gives off a great vibe
I can assure you that if you liked either series the other is going to be a fun ride all over again.
This is literally the same exact show - same type of comedy, very similar art style, even the main character is identical in looks and power.
It's One Punch with Ghosts - If you like one, you'll like the other.
Both original mangas are made by the same Author : ONE.
As having the same author, the art style is the same.
Those two share a lot in common thanks to their main characters, who are totally overpowered, where Saitama is a physical monster whereas Mob is a psychic monter.
When I saw the first episode of this show, there was only one thing going through my mind: One Punch Man. Why? Simple, the main character of Mob Psycho 100, Kageyama, is like a mini Saitama from One Punch Man. Here's some things the two main characters have in common:
- They are always bored
- They are overpowered
- They are both very calm most of the time
- Their faces... I'm serious.
- They have a sidekick... Completely useless... But they are still sidekicks... Right?
The characters are always fighting monsters in an original and funny way, which is something they have also have in common.
From the same author, One punch man and Mob Psycho 100 both are comedy anime with a similiar art style and way of making jokes. Both are about characters with superpowers. While the story in one punch man is almost non-existent, the story in mob psycho 100 is the opposite.
Comes from the same creator - ONE. With similar tropes of Comedy and action elements blended together with an interesting character set, for both shows equally.
Same creator, different art style but works quite well, similar comedy, really strong main character, has some very crazy twists that you should expect from One but you won't actually expect, and overall is amazing.
Both series star overpowered MCs
Both series share similar, incredible visual style and animation
Both shows have similar humor
Both shows have a similar pace
Both shows are based off of the creations of one author, ONE, and it really shows
Made by the same web manga creator ONE. The style is simular (all be it mob psycho being more flashy). however the witty humour and amazing fight scenes are in both anime.
Similar fashion in terms of character styling, attitude, as well as both have overpowered main character. Similar comedy and joke. No wonder since it is from the same author. A bit different in term of environments art since Mob designed to be a bit more sketchy compared to OPM.
Made by the same author, both Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man share a lot of similarities with each other. The protagonists are very powerful but are lacking in other aspects. Both the shows follow their main characters, as they learn that being all-powerful doesn't solve everything. If you enjoy great fights and good character development in anime, you'll probably enjoy both the shows.
Yes others said it all, let me tell again. These anime have
- similar vibe with similar main protagonists
- the main character never brags about his strenth
- his strength his limits and source of his strength are not known
- finally the art of both is literally the same
It's the same actor, so that means, same humorous style. The protagonists have almost a equally mindset of what they doing. Both have good animation, therefore it has good dose of action. Interesting support characters. That's it.
You'll not regret.
They are made by the same mangaka, One!
Most facial expression in Mob Psycho 100 are based out of Saitama's "Ok" face. Both anime contain a similar story starting from the main character already having a monstrous strength. Action are undoubtedly awesome and characters have various personality even though their face are... Similar.
Personally a really amazing anime that are shadowed by the greatness of OPM. A must watch for those who want more of OPM after watching all the OVAs.
They were both created by the same person and both have a main character that has trouble having emotions and is put in weird scenarios yet One Punch Man is more comedic focused.
Both feature an unassuming main character, who is overpowered. The side characters can be very dramatic, which plays of the main characters very calm, bored demeanor. The art style is very similar, and so is the humor.
Well, the biggest similarity is the main character, both have a really similar design, face: a poker face. Both have one of the best animations ever produced. Both have a lot of action, WITH eye-pleasing visuals. The humor is insanely similar.
-- They are both by the same author
-- Both have characters who cant control their powers
-- Both also have side characters who try to be as powerful as them
Saitama and Mob look and behave similarly. They both have a "sidekick" character who aren't as powerful (although, Genos can definitely beat up Reigen--and almost anybody-- anytime). They are both very powerful characters from the beginning, exaggeratedly so. Both animes have incredible action--and the animation styles for it--and are mostly funny.
I'm not caught up with Mob Psycho just yet, but I'm not the only one who has seen the similarities between these two.
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.
They are basically the same but with them being the opposite such as saitama has basically endless physical strength when on mob psyscho 100. Mob has pretty much no physical strength but has esper powers. (And not to mention its literally written by the same writer the wrote one punch man)
They have the same author, and the protagonists are pretty similar - average looking with unbelievably strong powers, who yet are somehow too dense to realize the great potential that they hold.
I didn't like both of them, but if you liked either one of them, you're sure to like the other.
They are made by the same creator and have the same animation style, with Mob Psycho staying truer to the web comic it derived from. Mob is more relatable to me than Saitama. The shows are both amazing.
One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 both feature an overpowered main character alongside powerful and interesting friends that take on formidable villains with epic fight scenes
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
Aside from the fact that both stories were created by the same manga artist, ONE, there are lots of similarities that mean if you like one show, you'll probably like the other. Super powerful main character? Check. Ridiculous humor? Check. Well thought out side characters and meaningful relationships? Check and check. They're both wonderful. But, saying all that, they ARE completely separate stories that are amazing on their own, not just copies of the other.
Same refreshing take on the overpowered protagonist trope. Each has their own way of handling it that makes them completely unique in their own respect.
I understand that this is an obvious one, however, most people overlook Mob psycho. these anime are similar that both MC are overpowered and create some of the best fight scenes ever, the animation is always on point, where they differ is that when one punch man second season aired it lowered in quality immensely whoever mobs second season improved not only in the story but in animation too, Mob also has far greater character development.
First of all it is the same author that wrote both animes. Second, both MC's have great powers and their personality seem similar. I get the same vibe (humor) from both of these animes when I watch them.
They have got the same mangaka and have got similarities like:
-Both protagonists are so OP
-They have got uniqe styles
-Mob is like Saitama but he is psychic
In Mob Psycho there are people called espers who are basically same as heroes in one punch man. Main character from Mob has almost same personality as Saitama and is one of (if not) the most powerfull espers. Very similar animation with amazing fight scenes and coreography.
-it almost have the same graphics as one punch man
-Mob Psycho 100 is popular with its strong esper, while one punch man is popular
with its powerful physical hero
-Both series written by the same author
-One is about an overpowered hero and another is about an overpowered psychic
-The fight scenes of both series are epic
-Both series have an amazing protagonist were an antagonist has chance of winning against. Both MC's have a unique personality according to the perspective of the series
If you like this one you will like the other one also
Both series were created by the same author, and they both feature amazingly animated action, and lots of comedic moments.
If you like lighthearted shows, with some more serious undertones, you ll certainly enjoy these shows.
Saitama is overpowered, Mob(MC in MP100) is overpowered. Both are unbeatable in the anime. They're strong as hell and they look the same, but Mob has a hair an Saitama's Bald.
Both were originally created by the same guy, so both share the same art style and have a similar style of humor. If you like one, you'll most likely enjoy the other as well.
The main characters have the exact same facial features and are both extremely powerful. The creatorof One punch man and Mob Pyscho 100 are also the same and
The heroes are pretty cool and charismatic (although differents) and the enemies (like monsters) are very originals and sometimes creepy O_o . That's the main reasons why I recommend this two animes.
When I watched the first episode, I was immediately reminded of One Punch Man. In short, Mob Psycho gave me OPM vibes and it turned out to actually be kind of similar (not to mention they have the same author). It has the same amount of comedy and has OP protagonist that's going through a lot.
Overpowered, but very relatable main characters that are very fun to watch. The stories are great, coming from the same author, but were they really stand out is in their execution. Both are filled with sakuga and some of the best animation anime has to offer, with a varied staff that really seems to have put passion into each work.
Never too serious, always have a good humor that surrounds for every character. Battle scenes, animation, sounds and the story is great. I recommend this anime for those who want to laugh and see some amazing fight scenes.
One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 were both made by the same person, One, with very similar purposes and ideas. OPM and MP100 are both great but personally I think Mob Psycho is better than OPM. Defiantly should check Mob Psycho out if you like One Punch Man and have not seen Mob.
The heroes of both shows are insanely powerful and are subject to intense, exciting fight sequences. With overwhelming strength, they must find value in the mundane life and figure out how to grow as people. One Punch Man deals with superpowers akin to comic book heroes/villains while Mob Psycho 100 deals with unique psychic abilities.
Both of them are carrying about same premise especially an overpowered main character. Also, they have a poker face which makes me laugh all the time. The fighting scene is nice tho. Very recommended
If you like the over-the-top-comedy with crudely drawn art styles to achieve this level of comedy along with an OP main character and you have already seen one of these. You’ll almost definitely enjoy the other due to the similar vibes they give off.
The author of these two animes is the same: ONE.
Even though saitama and mob are so strong, they still look for something that they still lack, like feelings or even a fair fight.
Both are written by the same author, both mcs are overpowered, both have great animation
Mob Psycho sometime feels emotional whereas Opm is pure Hype
Both super enjoyable
Both Mob psycho 100 and One punch Man has been made by ONE. Both of this anime is totally similar. "ONE" (the creator) learned his mistakes from making OPM (one punch man) and refilled those hole into Mob psycho. So, we can tell Mob psycho is the refined version of One punch man.
The MC of OPM and Mob psycho 100 is Over Powered in there world. They are like emotionless. Saitama is too much powerful and he has like infinite strength which made him not only in anime but also the strongest fictional character in history. There were some lackness in OPM. Saitama being emotionless, OP, less credit taking somehow pissed some of us guys.
But Mob psycho is totally good. Everyone knows about Mob's power. Mob is freaking powerful but not infinite level strength. He also has romantic feelings.
In overall, I prefer mob psycho though both of this anime is good. Try it out!read more
Both series are made by the same creator with similar nonchalant overpowered main character with an internal day to day struggle based on the usefulness and enjoyment of their own abilities. Both protagonist are lackluster in their own way while they are great and supported by great side characters. Comedic,action,satirical they contain similar traits that will surely entertain you.
1. Both anime are by the same author.
2. Both anime have an overpowered main character.
3. Both anime have great funny humor.
4. Both anime have clean animation.
5. Both anime have loveable side characters.
Both anime has overpowered characters, one with strength and one with psychic powers. For anime starters or newbies Mob Psycho and One Punch Man highly recommend because both of them are enjoyable show, entertaining and really great to begin with.
Both have similar overpowered MC with similar designs and psychological porblems. Second MCs usually get all the praise, even though they are not as powerful as MC.
If you liked one of these shows, you will love the other. There are many OPM references in Mob Psycho 100 as well. Both shows are very unique and entertaining to watch. Highly recommend these two shows to any anime fan.
Both series are originally created by the director One in the Web Manga. Their art style is just phenomenal, you can feel the characters are constantly moving even during the fight scenes. The main characters are almost identical with similar design, similar behavior and they are both very powerful. Also both series are extremely funny and they have interesting twists.
To begin with both anime was written by the same author. Main characters are overpowered but they pay for this power lose their emotions. And animation in anime is gorgeus
--> Both of the Anime's Have Same Mangaka
--> Both Saitama and Kageyama Shigeo are Over-Powered
--> Both of these anime's have some similar content in between.
--> Both of them have a lot of comedy and humour.
- OPM and MP100, both were written by the same Mangaka.
- Both of them have an overpowered MC.
- Both of them have great visuals, comedy and action.
- MP100 has a school set-up, whereas in OPM, it's a kind of Hero Association set-up.
To everyone who loved the action packed and beautifully animated first series of One Punch Man, you should give Mob Psycho 100 a try. Both share the same creator and an overpowered main character, although Mob Psycho goes deeper on the emotional development of the characters in it. I give both a 9/10.
(there is a button "read more")
The worlds and personalities are different, but there are big similarities.
:: Both MC are overpowered and are displayed unstoppable when they get serious. Everyone underestimates their power since they are reluctant in using them.
:: The fight scenes are similar when they fight against a "strong" enemy. They get punched trough walls and even buildings but stand up emotionless like nothing extremes happened.
- Notes
* One Punch Man is a sci-fi comedy action show about superpowers using against monsters.
* Setting is a remote city.
* Every character is unaware of the MC.
* Mob Psycho is a comedy action show about superpowers using against evil people with superpowers.
* Setting is Japan-like city.
* Every character sees the MC differently.
The biggest difference I have to highlight would be that One Punch Man MC is bored of his powers and can't find someone who can sustain more than one punch, while Mob Psycho MC prefers not to fight at all.read more
I'm just gonna say 'One' (pun intended) thing about my experience with these two:"Don't Judge a book by its cover." If you like seeing Overpowered protagonists fighting evil in a comical way, you'll definitely love these 2 shows.
It was made by the same creator and has a similar synopsis with an overpowered character who suffers from mental issues this anime is equally as funny with a great main character and awesome side characters.
One punch man and mob psycho 100 are similar as the main protagonist is very powerful and both the anime are for the peoples who love to watch superpower anime.
Both involve an OP MC and are both entertaining asf. Mob psycho is a bit deeper than one punch man but one punch man is more entertaining. Two must watch’s.
Both of these stories are written by ONE, and have the same sense of humor. They started out as webcomics, although you'll notice that the style is different, as OPM got picked up by a bigger company, and got a new artist, although the story is still written by ONE.
There are several theories that the worlds are actually connected.
Mob and Saitama have very similar personalities, that are along the lines of emotionless, although they both have different reasons for such.
Both build up their allies, and occasionally, foe turns into friend
The fact that both the shows were created by one person, ONE makes them so much similar yet they're so unique. If you liked OPM, you'll definitely like MP 100 too. The fights, BGM, characters, plot everything's great about it.
Made by the same person (as of the manga)
Great comedy, amazing action, and hell of an animation,
In my opinion, this is the better One Punch Man, as it actually goes in depth with the characters, and their struggles on who they are personally.
They are two animes by the same creators with extremely similar art and humor.
They have:
- An overpowered protagonist.
- Comedy based on the powerful protagonist and his connections with other characters.
- Impressive animation.
- Scenes that can really make you laugh.
- Awesome battles. (Until the protagonist does something)
- Protagonists almost without emotion.
Basically Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man are almost identical, if you liked one, you will like the other.
Saitama and Reigen are somewhat alike. They're both adults just tryna live life, but Saitama gets caught up in hero society bullshit meanwhile Reigen gets caught up in spirits and such.
The protagonist are in similar situations (being too op) except their viewpoints on their powers are very different. Their personalities are also very different. The two shows are also made by the same creator and therefore have a similar art style and humor lol
Both Mob and Saitama are somewhat tragic heroes in comedy animes with amazing fight scenes and top notch animation. I give you my highest recommendation for one if you liked the other.
they both action
ans saitama cant feel emotions and mob cant control emotions
they both so much power full
i know Mob Psycho 100 character dizaining bad but if you like one punch man
then you well like this anime
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 !
Exactly like One Punch Man, story is built around numerous of heroes defeating evil that shows up in the city, and the protagonist of the story is trying to become known by the world as a hero.
- Both animes feature a "Hero system" where professional heroes get supported by the higher ups for doing work.
- The main characters genuinely want to save people.
These are both "hero" anime where much of the world building is the same. They both have super powered heroes and villains at odds with each other. Both shows have great art styles, character designs and humour. They both document the strongest hero, although in My Hero (unless you wanna shift focus to All Might, the strongest hero of his day) it's a origin story of how Midoriya became the number 1 hero.
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 titles involve very unique heroes and individuals using their power to save the innocent with the sense of justice and self gratification. The two are also very similar in terms of action scenes and to a certain extent characters appearances.
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.
Both anime exhibit many aspects those shared common includes
1.) Heroic and fantastic action scenes
2.) Overcoming the challenges to be No.1 Hero.
3.) Friendship and romantic scene of each character
4.) Many characters 's past those looked similar
Both are about superherous who's going to save everyone, and being a superhero is a proffesion. Both have humour, although One punch man is more of a parody.
Both feature interesting heroes with quirky powers. They have a really similar action style. If you found one enjoyable, you will likely enjoy the other one too!
Much like everyone has made the same recommendation, both shows are about super heroes and how a majority of the world possesses some form of super power.
Both shows protagonists aim to become an ultimate hero.
Both anime have a world where humans and monsters live in same society.
Both have heroes fighting monsters
Bot anime are light, but have lots of action and sometimes are funny.
The worlds are similar where heroes are common and something one trains to become, and paid if they do well and get public recognition. Both have a every hero vs every villain thing going on but also rivalry, jealousy, pettiness between heroes. The protagonists share similar starting stories: training a lot to get their abilities, being extremely underappreciated yet still loving hero work due to good intentions, and can punch the hell out of stuff
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.
- World of super heroes . Which they have a great relationship with society.
- Protagonist with a great impact force in their fists. And his dream of being self-realized hero.
- The classic master and apprentice .
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 shows also have well-animated action scenes since they are produced by popular studios Madhouse and Bones respectively.
Boku no Hero Academia are parallels of each.
Just imaigine OPM from Genos's perspective and the show for Kids and you Basically have the same show
Seinen and Shounen
Bones and Madhouse
Tons of heroes we basically get to learn nothing except one or two because of the single cour length.
Superheroes are the norm
Protagonist wants to be a hero.
Both shows have the same premise, but deal with different themes. Hero Academia is a action/drama show, and One Punch Man is a comedy. Both of these shows bring their respective genres to their full potential.
As they are both incredibly high quality, they are similar enough that if you liked one, you'll probably feel the same about the other.
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.
If you liked OPM you're probably gonna have fun watching Boku no Hero Academia too.
A world where a new profession is present all-over, being a hero that is. Both titles are similar in this aspect. The main characters too share the same determination to work harder, to become stronger.
- Both animes have is set in a world full of heroes
- Both animes the protagonist fights and trains hard to become the most powerful hero
- Both animes heroes fight for justice against villains/monsters
The one thing that they have exactly opposite is that in One Punch man, Saitama is powerful and in Boku No Hero Academia, zeku has no quirk (special ability) and is weak but with a strong determination.
both shows are about professional heroes, a lot of comedy with ridiculous super powers, Boku no Hero Academia is basically the shounen version of One punch man,
the difference is that the Saitama in OPD is super strong from the start, while Midorya has to sart from the scratch to build his legacy
After just one episode you will have the same feeling as in One Punch Man. Boku no Hero Academia also has dramatic music in the background, awesome fight scenes, and comedy stuff in a world with tons of heroes and monsters. Just like One Punch Man. The main character is the only difference i can find. The main character is the opposite of Saitama. Weak and smart.
-Both have some sort of hero organization where people train to become heroes
-Both have a very similar art style
-Both have lots of comedy
-Both protagonists want to be heroes with a passion
Both these animes have superheroes categorised into different groups based on their abilities. Also the MC in both of these have similar powers, both physically don't look that strong but possess enormous power in their punches.
HEROS ARE REAL. also, MC that punches. other MC that has explosions. As well as a whole part about the realistic part of how Heroism would be part of society and making sure that the heros can make a living
All about Superheroes; how to be a hero from zero,how to sharpen o the quirk power,genuinely save society,and try to be No.1 of all heroes.both have epic fight scenes and good humour sense.although Boku no Hero A. rather serious cause priority aims the process to be a hero while OPM most contents parody.
Strong...Stronger...Strongest... Every heroes want to be the strongest, and of course the villains too. Both series will give you many awesome battles between the heroes and the villains. The heroes will always maintain the justice and people's safety. In other side, the villains will always harm the people and destroy every heroes who opposed them. Who will dominate the world, the heroes or the villains? Just watch and you will know
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. While Saitama is looking for a challenge, Midoriya wants to become a great hero, so while both are filled with moments of action and comedy, blending the two together, both offer fresh takes on the same concept
They are really similar
Both have A Hero Association and professional heroes.
A lot of comedy
The plot is similar: normal person wants to have the power to fight monsters and protect people.
I can say with full responsibility that creation of Boku no Hero Academia has been inspired by the wave of popularity of One Puncher, so it can be roughly considered as a second part, just with a little super kid as a main character. Prepare to be knocked into the stratophere:)
Both are SuperHero Anime
Both have a hero system where are Professional Heroes and newbies
In both anime, the main character had to work a lot to become super strong
Both have a lot of comedy (One Punch Man has more)
Boku no Hero Academia is much more serious and emotional than One Punch Man
In One Punch Man world is rare to have a superpower, in Boku no Hero Academia 80% of the population have Quirks
Both have great OST and Opening
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!
-Both anime series are about heroes : Hero Association & Heroes Academy and the path of the main characters to become a true hero
-Through the series, we can learn the true meaning of becoming a hero: not with powers but with a good heart and willingness to help
The main character has the same unique strength that makes them unbeatable to all, though being unbeknownst to the other heroes around them. Also based in a world where super heroes are common and idolised.
In a world full of superpowered heroes and villains, a normal guy becomes powerful through hard work and training.
Academia features a school for young heroes, while OPM features an association of adult heroes - similar settings that both allow for a lot of fun side characters and cool fights.
One Punch Man is a little more over-the-top and comedic in nature, but if you enjoy one I'm sure you will enjoy the other similarly.
If you're looking for an anime similar to One Punch Man then I'd say that Boku No Hero Academia is the anime for you, with Saitama and Izuku being similar characters and the shows sharing similar themes however with different age groups.
Both about becoming heroes and they both have similair powers.
Boku no hero is alot more serious tho and is worth a watch if you enjoyed One Punch man.
Alright weirdly enough these two are pretty similar and if you`ve seen Boku no Hero Academia then One Punch Man will seem even better. They both deal with superheros and superpowers. Just with Boku no Hero Academia it is mostly serious throughout the whole series and with One Punch Man it is almost never serious. But that makes them quite fun to watch back to back, it`s like watching a really good movie then watching a really good and funny parody of that movie.
Just like OPM, Boku no Hero Academia involves various funny powerful characters. Both animes are almost the same; it's like you're watching the same anime, but with different characters. I enjoyed both, though.
These animes have a superhero protagonist, and have villains they must face and fight. While One Punch Man is more comical, Boku no Hero Academia can be comical at some points.
In both of them main characters posses omnipotent strength and their main attack is punch. Both animes contain funny moments.Also in One Punch Man there is Hero Association.Similarly, Boku no hero academia have their Hero Academia.
Both are shounen series and are really great.
They have the same type of mc that's too op for enemies yet the only difference is that in OPM, the mc can fully control his powers to its extent while it is the opposite to the mc of Boku no Hero Academia.
Both also have great action scenes and have great development of characters. The story is also great especially for people who like shounen anime.
A lot of action involved. The protagonists are very much well both aspiring to be well-known heroes and as well possess supernatural strength power. Very entertaining to watch.
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.
It also shows similarity in its comedy but one punch man makes fun of super strong heroes much more.
In these shows they both have to pass a exam to get a certain role or achievement but that's where the similarties end.
Don't be too harsh this is my first review!
The both series include heros . Unlike One Punch Man , the protagonist isn't that powerful , and he is struggling to become more and more powerful like a true hero . If you like anime that's about heros you should check these two out!
- 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
If you have watched One Punch-Man Season 1, I highly recommend you to pick the first season of Boku no Hero Academia and enjoy as much as I did.
Now, with 2nd season of Boku no Hero Academia to air on April 1, 2017, it is a great time to start watching Boku no Hero Academia
Two of my fav anime, both are very similar, and easy to get into
-Both are set in a world of superheroes, and villains.
-Both are really funny, but still have interesting storylines.
-Both have a likeable, powerful protagonist, who want nothing more than to be a hero.
-Both feature a few interesting hero side characters.
-Both give similar, but different looks into a society created by the introduction of powered heroes/villains
Recommend trying if you like superhero related movies/shows, looking for beginner anime, want an anime that is funny but not completely a comedy
They both have a lot of powers and action. They both also have an association or 'order' for the powers (One Punch has the hero association while MHA has the school they use the abilities in and train them.)
The two animes are based in a world where there are villains and heroes exist to defeat them and protect the society. In Boku no Hero Academia, Midoriya has the dream to become a hero and starting from scratch, he attends the hero academy to become a stronger and the best hero. Meanwhile, in One Punch Man, Saitama is already strong enough to be a hero so he does a hero exam, but he isn’t recognised as one of the strongest heroes. With some differences, the two animes are both funny and exciting at the same time, with a slight of sadness in some parts of the anime.read more
Both are Hero anime, both have been given godlike powers but in boku hero academia he still needs to develop it while the protagonist in one punch man is already hella strong.
These series both have many characters with powers and also an association for regulation of the supers. They both have a main character that was weak before the training, then became the best. They both have similar ideas, but they are also very unique and will keep you hooked. One punch man might be darker than my hero.
Both series are about superheroes fighting against super villains. One Punch Man is a seinen and Boku no Hero is a shounen but they both have a surprisingly similar plot. On the other hand, one is a parody and the other is not.
There is a world with heroes and villains, in one punch man, the story is around one charachter that wants to be a hero, in boku no hero academia on the other hand, there are a few main characters that are all heroes, but the main protagonists all gain their power in an odd way. Opm is more seinen, and bnha is shounen, but if you enjoyed the hero aspect in one, you will probably enjoy the other.
Being set in a world whereby heroes and villains exists, one definitely would say if you like the conflict of 'Heroes vs Villains', you have a great chance of finding both series entertaining. A system of heroes are present in which heroes climb up the ranks. Out on the streets, they strive to fight villainy to protect society and justice. Not to mention, the actions in these series are brilliant, intense, and dynamic. Watch them heroically!
It has similar world to One Punch Mans, meaning there are also heroes with different ranks and stuff, and main hero can punch really hard aswell, but he is still learning to control his power.
Both series are superhero anime.
Both main characters (Saitama and Izuku) want to become the strongest hero and made a name to the entire hero association and the whole wide world.
Both series have awesome fight scenes and funny moments.
One Punch Man and Boku no Hero are both similar anime both of them focus on a character that defeats villain by punching them. Boku no hero revolves around a student name Midoriya Izuku who aims to be a hero and one punch man revolves around a story of a man named Saitama who grew too strong and could defeat anything in one punch like the name suggests. Both of them are classic shounen anime and are best for people who are starting off their anime career.
Both anime have an anime twist on the Superhero Genre.
Both anime have large casts of quirky characters with cool powers.
Both anime have an overpowered protagonist who has to keep their power a secret.
Both anime have stunning animation and over the top action scenes.
Both anime have unique and intriguing societal worldbuilding.
These anime have a similar concept. Both of them carry a superhero theme. Also these main characters have similar power. The most interesting in these anime are the unique powers and each characters have that.
Heroes. My Hero Academia and One Punch Man features heroes operating in society.
MHA has learning heroes, Midoriya and his classmates, training to become professional heroes. OPM has Saitama who becomes a hero for fun, and his journey with other professional heroes.
Both are great action-filled anime, with OPM being a golden parody, and MHA being coming of age story.
Both are Superhero fighting villians except the fact Saitama is overpowered and Deku had to train
They have different themes but Initial setting seems similar
And are very enjoyable
you will find a hero vs monster situation in them cause whole surroundings are full of various monsters and a hero society used to fight against them to save humanity.
They are both about superhero's, they are Shonen with lots of action and are both long running manga that have great animation except for OPM Season 2.
Their main idea is the same: hero is an existing profession in their world.
However these 2 actually differ in many ways:
My hero academy is about the life of students from a hero-school. They encounter training programs and villains, while they are getting stronger step by step.
One punch man has an adult main-character, who has an instant-kill attack, without any place for improvement. It has a unique absurd comedy style, with randomly attacking bizarre creatures.
They do not have a similar feel, they each have their original hero-system.
They are both shonen anime focused around heroes battling villains. Both have hero organizations, a wide cast of characters and a fair amount of humour. The notable differences are that Boku no Hero Academia isn't parody and that Deku isn't as broken as Saitama
- hero
- that's pretty much it...
- one punch has more humor tho and is less plot orientated, but if you enjoy one of these you’ll probably enjoy the other
- one punch is not high schoolers but I think you'll still like it, ik some people legit will only watch an anime if the main characters are teenagers
- honestly, the shows are very different but like I kinda get similar vibes, maybe bc they both show how heroes have affected society in interesting ways
With One Punch Man you get the same amazing and thrilling fight scenes you can find with My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) with good characters and development and interesting villains.
Both take place in a superhero setting.
One Punch Man is a satire of the superhero subgenre.
My Hero Academia is a shounen underdog story (akin to Naruto) that takes place in a superhero environment.
These are both light hearted comedic shows with similar senses of humour, neither show takes itself too seriously. Both MC's are ridiculously over powered, and decide to focus on the downsides of having such power.
Is it good for having so much power? Is it good for being an Overpowered Guy?
Answer is : "Its Boring"
These shows are shown us that feel for having so much incredible power .. and so, u can't enjoy it as other normal being ...
Both show are funny and hilarious too .. if u enjoy one, u'll enjoy another ^^
Both have overpowered guys who hate their powers and feel bored all the time
Both are super funny
The main protagonist are both very similar in the way they act, speak and think
Both shows deal with an overpowered protagonist and the hilarity that ensues when having to deal with the drawbacks that said overpowered abilities have.
Only while OPM diverges more into action and drama later on, Saiki is alot more comedy oriented.
Both are funny parody anime with the MC being a very overpowered person. Both eventually also gain an 'apprentice' of sorts who is overwhelmed by their power. I love both as they are both very funny, so give Saiki Kusuo a chance if you love the humour of the series :]
Chances are if you enjoyed OPM, you liked its comedy. Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan cranks that up to 11 (don't worry about episode count, most sites make it 24 normal episodes).
- Both MC's are hilariously OP to the point of boredom
- They both feature the same type of comedy (but Saiki K. pulls it off better, OPM has better action)
- MC's have similar personalities (although Saiki K. is more cynical)
- Both have a colorful supporting cast full of wacky personalities
If you want more of One Punch Man's comedy, this is where you'll find it in bucketloads. Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan is THE funniest anime I've ever watched & I would definitely recommend it to fans of One Punch Man.read more
Both are comedic animes that star a character who find their excessive power to be a nuisance in their daily lives. The protagonists are sort of similar in personality, too.
Both shows are comedies feature an OP main character for whom having powers is more of a disadvantage than a good thing. A big part of each show is the wacky group of supporting characters that appear over the show. However, Saiki K is more episodic and slice of life, while OPM has an overarching plot, but for me the jokes in Saiki K are much funnier.
_Both have overly overpowered heroes
_Both protagonists are somehow bored or sick of their power
_Both shows are hilarious
_ Both are a mixture of shoneun and comedy
_Both are hero parodies
Note: Saiki is more comedy based than shoneun but its still as hilarious and funny like one punch man
Overpowered protagonists, which is the driving force of the comedy, which is the core of the series. Both series make fun of anime. Both use the supporting cast to enforce the comedic elements to an even higher level. The main character is emotionally stunted as a side effect of their power. Bothe protags hate thier power.
-Both Main characters just want to live their life not being noticed/alone but everyone follows/gathers around them
-Both have very good comedy/humour
-Overpowered main character, who is WAAAAAY stronger then everyone else
Both shows are sci-fi comedies with an overpowered MC. They might not have many similarities plot-wise but if you like one of the shows, you will like the other just because of how similar they feel.
Both of them are very funny, and follow overpowered main characters being bored with their powers, and most of the conflict comes from other characters. The humor is similar. If you enjoyed One Punch Man, you'll enjoy this. If you enjoyed One Punch Man but are not a fan of Shounen, you'll enjoy this.
both follow overpowered introverts who (seem like they) don't want anything to do with the people around them. they're both comedies as well. v good stuff
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.
Anyone can take 5 Minutes from both and tell that they both are pretty same. Over powered MCs and fine comedy just shows how much of a fun they both be to watch.
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.
-has more of a plot storyread more
If you liked Overlord but thought the main character should be a little more powerful, then One Punch Man has a similar vibe (so far; only 1 episode of OPM is out right now)
Both of these are fairly new animes whose main protagonist is super overpowered. They both have similar issues revolving around the hero recieving the respect and fame they deserve. Although the style of the two are different, the plot contains plenty of similarities.
Overlord is similar to one punch man, because the fact that the main character from both shows, have the same "too strong" feeling. So if you like over-powered character i suggest that you watch overlord
If you're looking for Strong/OP/Badass male lead with high level of monster fatality then this fits the category.
Both male lead are so extremely strong that they can do anything they want on their enemies.
Both contains comedy but Overlord lacks a a bit of this
Both have nakama/subordinate who are also strong and OP
Both anime is searching for something: Overlord is searching for his allies and way out of the game while OPM is searching for someone who can match his overwhelming power.
All in All Both are Awesome anime to watch
Overlord and One punch man, The main character is like a god in both universes, While overlord's MC is more towards magical strong, One punch man instead move towards strength, If you like One punch man, then i guarantee that you'll like Overlord, the story unfolds almost unexpectedly. I highly advice that you watch it.
They OP but Overlord are with magic and protagonist transported to game he's playing, They are really strong but One Punch Man are more humor though, They are very similiar you should watch both of them.
The Main Chars are very overpowered, the difference is Ainz/Momonga has to be tactical sometime, Saitama can go fight straigt forward
the deadpan humour have both series in common
First think that came to my mind is that its like One Punch Man but with little bit deeper story behind it. He is overpowered and what makes it slightly better than One Punch Man is that people knows and aware of his powers unlike One Punch Man.
Both of them are carrying about same premise especially an overpowered main character. You should watch them because there are so many scene that can make you astonished.
Although it's not necessarily a comedy, Overlord is another stupidly overpowered main character. You'd probably enjoy seeing him wreak havoc on the world.
are animes whose protagonists are the most powerful, and can kill anyone in one punch. and the plot is about them living with this great power,In addition to both being action anime and comedy
Both animes consist of a overpowered protagonist.
Overlord, unlike One Punch Man is very wise and cautious using his power but the the fighting in overlord is still very fun like One Punch Man.
Where will you go if all your dreams have been fulfilled? That is the question that both series deal with. They don't have a serious plot, just the daily life of a man who is trying to live his life. There are battles and funny moments sometimes. Recommend to people who are looking for some funny anime to watch to add some spice to their life.
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
To begin, both series are super hilarous and share the same kind of humor. Also the two series contains "serious arc" wich is freaking awesome! They even have the same kind of main character (Laziness Overload). They are very common in a good way ;) The only difference is in the universe. OPM is the super hero universe while Gintama is the Edo universe.
So if you love Gintama, there is no reason to hate One Punch Man! (and vice versa)
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.
(Oo I actually wanted to be first to this one; I tried a while back...)
But wow, this really is all about comedy, world building, and reasonable characters. The fact of the matter is we have two MC who are heroes down to their very souls but don't acknowledge it with their exterior mannerisms. The irony behind their characters and the world around them are similar and wonderfully uncanny than what we usually see.
Gintama is very much amidst the top of the anime industry, and OPM will soon join it.
While their storylines are rather different, they both offer a humourous take on the shounen genre. Both main characters are hilarious and interesting. There are unique and alien-like villians (and just... characters in general) in each and both feature shounen-like battles (opm more than gintama). If you liked the humour in one of them, you'll probably like the other!
Do you want a deconstruction of typical shonen clichés? Do you want a OP main character who just don't care about his enemies' complaints or objectives? Do you want to laugh in every scene? These series are for you!
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
Both of these animes are hugely funny comedies with fantasy aspects. I love both of them equally and they both have the same hero. I highly recommend both of them! :)
Yep that's right Gintama and one punch man are somewhat similar to each other Both of them are { EPIC } comedy and fighting shows Mind the brackets Epic means Epic both have characters funny and strong but in one punch man i should say super super strong and if you are thinking about comedy then think not all you have to see them especially the face of one punch man character and now about gintama it has broken 4th wall within 4th wall i mean literally it has. Thats why it is also rated the highest anime above all anime and all the characters will make you laugh (laughing my ass off). Thats all now you have to just see them both. One last thing they are both parody shows of all other shows especially Gintamaread more
They both are very comedic on the ways a ‘hero’ is presented. They are also both very humourus and like to poke fun at the modern superhero stereotype. They are also both parodies. Which again reinforces there similarities.
The protagonist in both shows is extremely strong. But they don't take the responsibility seriously, and end up talking about regular stuff in the middle of a fight that's supposed to be intense (like shop sales) which leads to comedy in both shows.
If you liked the atmosphere in one show, you will most likely like the other show.
Both are using quite the same setup for the characters minus the traits and theme, it's just that Hataraku Maou-sama consist of more story and unique well brought humor to compensate the lesser fighting scenes, which i prefer to love more.
Both MCs lives like a bachelor-livings. Hataraku Maou Sama is a demon while in One Punch Man, he is a hero. What makes both series are similar is their comedy style that there is no episode won't make you laugh loudly all over your house.
Both main protagonists are lazy but have extreme power and have extremely loyal sidekicks. Hataraku Maou-sama! shares the same kind of humor that will be making you fall in love with the main character, and the stupid humor that both shows share.
Both have similar characters, their actions are very similar. Also a format of humor based on simple things, but quickly turning into an action. The cheerful and absurd atmosphere in both shows will cheer up at any moment.
-Both have a protagonist that is so ridiculously overpowered
-Both take comedy to the next level (a.k.a. hilarious)
-Both protagonists are followed around by a sidekick
Both series have a protagonist who is overpowered to the point where they don't take their fights seriously and care more about their mundane life, leading to comedic situations. If you enjoy watching comedic shows that don't take themselves too seriously, you'll probably enjoy both the series.
Despite having very different plots, both anime have a similar sense of humor and if One Punch Man made you laugh, you will probably like Hataraku Maou-sama!
This recommendation doesn’t make sense on the surface. However, both shows, despite having wildly different plots, have a similar style of humor that derives from combining the supernatural and the mundane. If you like one, you might like the other.
Almost everyone has seen One Punch Man at this point, but I think if you enjoyed it you will also enjoy Hataraku Maou-sama! Both have action and comedy elements mixed into it, but many differences. One Punch Man has a lot more action than Hataraku Maou-sama! but both have a similar comedy style. A lot of laugh out loud moments in both.
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. But they are the only two series I have come across with the 'world-building' premise they share.read more
Both anime deal with superheroes. Both Tiger & Bunny and One Punch Man have great writing, good animation and awesome characters. Both titles have a nice blend of comedy and action. The difference between the two is that heroes in One Punch Man are registered and paid through donations while the superheroes in Tiger & Bunny have sponsors and advertisers that back them up and cover any inevitable damages. If you liked one, you'd like the other.
Both super hero anime with a Japanese twist, centering around fighting villainous monsters and "comic book style" bad guys.
Both have impressive visuals and action scenes.
These two anime share the premise of putting superheroes into kind of a corporate model where they work not only to stop crime but for popularity rankings.
I think that certain people will appreciate the relationships between the two leads in both series (which both happen to consist of a younger blond male seeking revenge for his parents' deaths and an older male who becomes a hero out of a personal sense of justice). 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. However, each pair becomes inseparable and the nature of their relationships can be open to interpretation, if one is so inclined.
tl;dr if you like shipping dudes in one of these anime, you'll probably like shipping the dudes in the other animeread more
Both about somehow competition between heroes
by the way don't let tiger and bunny cover deceive you for those who hate mecha
its not related to mecha at all
Tiger and Bunny is more comedic than One Punch Man, but the whole Hero system is kind of similar. Both shows are also meant for an older audience.
The fights in T&B are also super cool and it was the first show that popped into my mind when I saw the final fight in One punch Man.
One-Punch Man has the superhero theme with the same funny moments. That's, why I love One Punch Man, the bald-headed Saitama, who is honestly one of my favorite characters, as well as Genos. I just love Saitama's facial expressions. So, If you love Tiger & Bunny, honestly give One Punch Man a go, and honestly, they're kinda similar.
Both animes are from the same studio. Meaning they look awesome, just AWESOME.
The fights are easy to follow, look amazing and have a lot of detail.
Some characters looks really remind you of another in a positive way.
Both animes have a goal to aspire. Becoming a great Hunter or a great Hero.
They involve different species and a complex varied world.
Many of the characters from One Punch Man and the setting reminded me of Hunter x Hunter. If One Punch Man weren't a parody, had a lot more episodes, and if Saitama weren't OP, you would almost have a Hunter x Hunter twin-series.
Both anime are done by Madhouse and have the same overall feel to the series - unique characters, epic battles and power-ups, etc. The "Hero" system in OPM and the "Hunter" system in HxH are very similar as well. Both are incredibly good shounen series, and while OPM is more humorous, there's a high chance you'll enjoy one if you enjoyed the other.
Both have some of the same themes like an association of professionals (heroes/treasure hunters) with class ranks and an elite set of very strong people and the main character eventually decides to work his way up the ranks and become more well known and stronger in the process
Both shows have an organization that the main protagonist joins to fulfill some sort of goal. The Hero Association and the Hunter Association in the two shows remind me of the other. Both have a ranking system which dictates what level of jobs you are likely to be allowed to complete. They involve a rigorous test which has a small passing rate. Also both organizations send out their heroes/hunters to battle and take care of weird creatures that could pose a threat to humanity.
Another comparison is that that main characters have a similar altruistic attitude towards helping people. All in all, these are both great shows that I would highly recommend, so if you liked one, you'll enjoy the other. read more
Both have equally crazy fights and whacky characters. OPM opening also parodies HxH's main character, Gon (the punch where he holds his left hand over his right before punching).
Both have probably the most brilliant soundtracks ever also. You really need to experience these two. And of course, both are by Madhouse Studio.
Both are fun and interesting takes on less conventional superheroes, though in Hunter x Hunter they're called Hunters rather than superheroes. Both have a diverse and spectacular cast of minor characters. Hunter x Hunter is more emotional, but both have great comedy and are a joy to watch. Both have a lovable main character and a lovable side-kick.
Most of the characters share a few traits: they seem like normal human beings, but they bear very special talents that might not be recognized in the real world. If you love laughs, drama and the struggles of being “different", then you will love this as well.
One Punch Man is essentially what you would get if you took Izayoi of Mondaiji-tachi and separated him from the rest of the no-names. You get an overpowered and bored protagonist destroying every obstacle in his path in order to relieve himself of his boredom while searching for a worthy opponent. Both series are entertaining and action-packed, although One Punch Man is more straightforward.
in mondaiji-tachi ga isekai kara kuru Sou desu yo? world, the main character (izayoi) possess inmeasurable power, in one punch man, saitama looks bored all the time, so does izayoi, they're too strong and busy trying to find someone worthy enough for their power, if you like one punch man you definitely will like mondaiji-tachi
Same feels and comedy. Both have really good character developments for main male MC. Similar kind of lesson too. Saitama and Izayoi, both have power beyond humankind, they both have reached the top, and looking for someone to match them in strength, if you want to see more overpowered character then i truly recommend mondaiji-tachi, As for the story, Both shows share the same excitement.
Mondaiji-tachi and One punch man has similar male character, While Izayoi is more cocky and saitama is more bored type, they both seeks stronger opponents. Those who can entertain them to several extend. If you like one punch man, you definitely going to like mondaiji-tachi !
Both are action, comedy and supernatural anime, where the MC is the strongest from the beginning. They both meet cocky enemies, whom they defeat with ease.
Both shows are filled with relentless action and a lot of comedy moments. The fights are over the top and flashy as possible. Also fights defies any logic or physics laws. The common part of both show is a cast of colorful and meaningful characters.
The biggest difference, however, is the amount of fanservice. KLK is full of it, while OPM has it really low.
Both have a cast of colorful characters. The main characters do what they want, whenever they want. Both feature high octane and exciting action, with moves that basically cause explosions every time they make contact. Both have sidekicks, who they originally didnt want, but learned to love. Enemies also have a tendency to have interesting back stories, but really long monologues as well
Both animes are an harmony of huge epicness and fun, Kill la Kill also have a particular graphic style but you'll found it awesome later, Kill la Kill and One Punch man are two animes that i didn't expected to be that epic seriously Kill la Kill is probably the most epic anime i've ever seen. Both animes also have an awesome OST, so if you liked One Punch Man absolutely try Kill la Kill, you wont regret it !
Both are absolutely hilarious, are about heroes vs villians, have a wide cast of interesting characters, a system of levels that heroes are divided into based on power (KLK: goku uniforms. OPM: the ranking of heroes by classes) and an engaging storyline. If you liked one, you will DEFINITELY like the other. (KLK has more fanservice but other than that these two are REALLY similar)
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 (at least to him). 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 strong and competent Female, and through the writers using their viewers' fanservice expectations as an actual plot device. The main character's clothes-based 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 too much fanservice, that doesn't mean the authors aren't aware of their viewers' fanservice expectations. There is a reason Saitama keeps showing up in a shirt that says "Oppai" ("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
simple good fighting, kill la kill has more fan service but all in all best starter anime that get you going. nothing overly special about it... very original and very good but nothing special.
Protagonist is OP to ridiculous level which brings absurd situations and proper steamrolling of opponents. Sure, one is super hero parody, other is powerfantasy in fantasy setting. Both are kinda cheeky and not taking themselves seriously... and come on, the last battle in Misfit of DK Academy made laught so hard!!! And its comparable to the last fight in OPM in its sheer ridiculousness.
Both series have a comedically overpowered protagonist. If you like the idea that the MC is the strongest person ever because why not, you'll enjoy both shows.
You must be wondering, why the fuck is this guy recommeding one punch man for this anime, simple:
Both animes are satire for overpowered (one punchman), overcool (sakamoto desu ga). Both animes has comedy as a main genre and explore it in similar ways. While Saitama is not believed to be that strong, other characters would provoke him until they are amazed by his strength, same happens with Sakamoto as he is provoked and end up being admired.
Both are comedies that center around "ideal" protagonist - one that is the strongest, and one that is the coolest. The gags usually consist of other people trying to overthrow them from this position and failing miserably.
The main characters of both anime are way too overpowered in their own environment. Everyone around them struggles to keep up but completely fails due to their excellence. Both Saitama and Sakamoto think nothing of their "perfection", they can never seem to impress themselves no matter how amazing what they just did really was, likely they are used to being the best and simply don't care anymore. The two anime have very different settings and supporting characters but the similarities of the MC's definitely make them similar at least in that way.
The main character is a lazy guy who unexpectedly turns out to be a superhero tasked with protecting their city against weird monsters. Both are comedies, although One Punch Man is more action-focused than Tentai Senshi Sunred, which moreso feels like a pure slice of life.
Also, Tentai Senshi Sunred has very minimalistic animation whereas One Punch Man is a big-budget kind of thing. But they have the same kind of charm once you see past that.
Both are superhero parody anime with OP main character and comedic villains. So far One Punch Man's jokes are a little on the repetitive side while Sunred has a more diverse type of jokes. Personally I think Sunred is funnier but if you like one you'll like the other.
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 revolve around an OP hero fighting off puny villains who look somehow similarly creepy.Both have comedy, parody and super power as their genre.
Superhero parodies with overpowered protagonists.
TSS is a much better anime in total, with great characters and extremely funny comedy.
If you liked OPM you should really trust me on this; do not allow yourself to be deterred from the shitty animation and watch TSS.
Both shows focus on "heroes", they are both light hearted comedies that don't take themselves seriously. Both shows have great sense humour, To Be Hero being slight more crass. They both have good animation, great character designs & amazing OST's.
One Punch Man is definitely the first anime somebody may think of when trying to compare To Be Hero with something. Both are parodies of the superhero genre, both have a very powerful main characters, both have a cast of zany and eccentric characters, and both have some cool fight scenes.
The main character of both series are perceived as invincible superheroes but is struggling with other aspects of their life - Saitama with his boredom and Ossan with the recognition of his daughter. Both series makes full use of their ridiculous slapstick humour but can also surprise the audience with its juxtaposition of comedic with serious and emotional scenes.
Both follow a very similar plot: the hero is OP. There is even a fairly similar villain in the anime, though I do have to say I feel that both are kind of mainstream in terms of how far anime goes. If you enjoyed one of these anime, you'll probably enjoy the other one.
SIMILARITIES
- Both have an overpowered main character
- Both use comedy and secondary characters to drive the story
DIFFERENCES
- One Punch Man wants a challenging fight and the comedy comes from how he can’t get it from even the strongest villains
- Yuusha does not want a close fight so he overtrains like no tomorrow, the comedy comes from just how overtrained he is
Both main characters are overpowered. Each episode has the same gimmick with a setting, except OPM has a way better plot and less annoying cast. However give this one a shot. I pretty much laughed during nearly every episode because of my bad taste.
Both have overpowered characters that are fighting to save a world. Neither of their true intentions are completely explained. They never show very much emotion, but the anime is full of humor.
Both protagonists are super powerful, but there's a key difference and that is, Saitama knows he will one and Seiya even though knowing that he'll win prepares for 10 moves ahead
The similarities between these anime are endless. Happy-go-lucky protagonists, evil villains who might aswell have been in the opposite series, their personalities, the humor they share. The series as a whole really remind me of one another and give a very similar vibe.
OPM simultaneously mocks and pays homage to many shonen tropes, most of which can be traced back to DBZ as it can be argued dbz influenced the entire genre to such a degree that every series that came after was in some way influenced by it. If you enjoy these kinds of shows you're more likely to enjoy the comedy show OPM as you will get most of the jokes and references while it retains a lot of what appeals to people that like these types of shows. DB/DBZ/Super is no slouch when it comes to humour either.
Both anime have OP heroes fighting Aliens, Both have comedy, Extreme high levels of danger, Super powers are both in their genre. Both of these Animes HYPE level Is OVER 9000!!!!!
- Pointing out the Obvious From the first episode we have a purple Namekian looking alien similar to piccolo despite the color, as well as our main hero Saitama facing against aliens similar to Goku who is also a main character in his series.
- Both Saitama and Goku are physically powerful and both are very nonchalant in the way they act and fight.
- Also both seem average looking in their outward physical appearance
(saitama even more so)
- Both series contain Dynamic high octane action as well as some fun humour and Insane villains.
- Last but not least obviously both Saitama and Goku always seek to fight stronger opponents for a challenge somewhat for fun.read more
Both anime focus on a very strong protagonist, who protects humanity from monsters and other malevolent creatures. They have a lot of action and fights, but also a lot of lighthearted comedic moments. The character design is also somewhat similar, especially the first villain that Saitama faces, who looks like a blue Piccolo.
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.
For the simple comparison in terms of doing an "overpowered" character right.
In terms of entertainment, the cast of characters, supporting or main, world and the building of the said world, and story progression, yeah it pretty entertaining.
Bruh/brah if your lookin for a show where the character is op as shit and you just finished 7 deadly sins or vice versa bless yourselves with these anime's
-main character ridiculously op without truly being explained why.. Check*
- main character does not put real effort until the end check*
- thats like 2 strikes right there bro watch these shits.
.bless up.
I feel like when One Punch Man parodies other shounen anime, Seven Deadly Sins is the type of show they are parodying. But even at its worst, One Punch Man does the style better on every level.
- OP MC that you wouldn't really expect
- Doesn't abuse MC's powers to just drive the plot easily
- Great humor
- A loving cast of people with different powers and backgrounds
- Worldbuilding and settings you will love
- Beatiful hair
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.
Both have crazy diverse characters and villains who are introduced without adding much to grand scheme of the story, parodying the superhero genre and tropes. The webcomic of One Punch Man has a similar feel to Inferno Cop as well. Both have some of the best animation in the business, Inferno Cop is slightly superior in this field though.
Parody. Taking on a theme and doing nothing but poking into what it gives is exactly what Inferno Cop and OPM do with themselves.
Inferno Cop does that with this American style cop adventure. OPM does this with an overpowered hero.
Both are great comedy anime though Inferno Cop has 3 min eps, compared to the normal OPM setup.
Both based on original web comics by the same creator ONE.
Both have very similar art styles, character designs and senses of humour.
Both have received two seasons of anime adaptations.
Both see their main character struggle with the excess of their own powers.
Both series were created by the same author, and they both feature amazingly animated action, and lots of comedic moments.
If you like lighthearted shows, with some more serious undertones, you ll certainly enjoy these shows.
They are both comedic stories that follow an overpowered "first hero" that has defeated the greatest monsters of the world, leading to the development of a Hero Association to manage heroes that protect the world from evil. These heroes are categorized into letter rankings based on assessments of their power. Our protagonists start off at extremely low ranks despite having overpowered abilities.
I'll just say it. Hero's Return (Yingxiong Zai Lin) is pretty much just a donghua (Chinese animation) rip-off of One Punch Man. If you look closely, Saitama even appears as an easter in one of the mob/crowd characters of Hero's Return.
MC is the most powerfull character in the show
There is Hero Asociation which concentrates all heroes around
Huge destruction of surounding during fights
if you like one of these anime you probably the type of person who likes power-leveling action. both of these animes are extremly similar, yet unique.
both animes contain OP heroes; while the OPM MC focuses on more hand-to-hand combat, yingxiong's MC uses well-designed OP weapons (with the help of his own strength and dexteritory).
throught both animes the MC gradually meets powerfull oppenents, from street thugs to literall Gods.
the concept of "heroes" are similarly present in both animes with mentionings of "hero associations" and "hero rankings". it's also good to note that both MC's don't seem to be that intrested in the "hero" thing and both joined for different reasons.
while i do think the fights in OPM are better in animation and action, the fight scenes in yingxiong are nothing to scoff at either. the fight scenes in both animes get to the point of destroying buildings and such.
my favourite part about these types of animes is when the MC's get severly underrated by their oppenent - due to the MC's weak-looking appearance in both these animes this is quite common and it's intresting to see how the oppenent reacts while they're face-down on the canvas.read more
Both have a Hero association that bases rank on power. Both MCs are overpowered but end up at the bottom of the rank due to written test. Hero Return is definitely more rushed without a whole lot of explanation or backstory to any of the characters.
Both anime feature strong protagonists, who have to defeat seemingly invincible enemies who threaten humanity. Both have a lot of over the top action and some comedy.
One Punch Man and JoJo's both have over the top action mixed with a somewhat different comedy (While OPM has more of a satirical comedy, JoJo's comedy is more of the "bizarre" and irony).
One Punch Man & KonoSuba both are about parodying themselves and what they represent, a superhero show and an isekai. Thus, they both end up having a very enjoyable satirical humor.
Two main characters that are both extremely overpowered.
Other than Saitama, whose journey is literally to find someone who can beat him, Ichigo seems to be one of the quickest Shounen protags in developing his skills. He just seems gifted from the being.
One Punch Man does not simply just give you amazing Bleach feels, it kind of repeats what we all have seen in it.
- The art I think is a mix between Bleach and Dragon Ball, like the villians got that typical face, eye, eyebrow and nose shape in DB, while Saitama's face looks exatly like Madarame Ikkaku's and his expressions look very alike to the ones Bleach characters would be drawn with
- We have that really overpowered MC that is not typical only for Bleach but for much other animes. The difference here is that Saitama is overpowered even at the beginning, while Ichigo gradually (or not that gradually) got control over his powers and leveled them up a couple of hundred times
- He beats all the villians and always wins. Doesn't matter how strong the enemy is, our Saitama always beats the crap out of them, usually with only One Punch. Ichigo had some really hard time beating asses but he always did win too
- read more
Similar MC. Both of the MC's are superior to other characters. The animation is smooth an visuals are gorgeus. Both also have a catchy opening song and great soundtracks.
○ Parody animes
○ Action-packed
○ Both MCs don't quite understand how amazing they are at what they do, and have weird motives rather than real ambition
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
They both have two Hilarious main characters who are both OP and trying to find a more challenging opponent to match up with their skills. Koro Sensei is trying to find a student who can kill buy the time his students graduate and Saitama after realizing he is too strong is getting bored of killing villains with One punch so in the end he is still trying to find a challenging opponent.
Both Stories are VERY good and action packed. Also Saitama and Koro-Sensei are both teachers.
They're both great shows to watch!
-supernatural
-superhuman
they both aspire to be become superheros of justice and yeah theres the comedy too worth your time and yeah the action is cool too.
Both are hero animes with really strong characters. They both feature a lot of different heroes and and fighting. One Punch Man starts off really strong while Boku is more about the development their powers.
- Both are in a agency of heroes
- The villains have a great reason to be a villain
- Most of the population have superpowers
- Both have the same heroic personality
Both are newer titles that have great potential for longevity and made a big impact on the anime community. They both have great humour combined with high intensity action scenes and lovable characters. The character designs and OST's for both shows are incredible. They both have overpowered characters and great villains.
The protagonist definitely reminded me of Saitama from One Punch Man. Strong but oblivious and nonchalant about his strength and helps other characters along the way who become interested in him due to his strength.
These anime are such EXTREMELY funny shows.
Both the mc are ridiculously OP that it's hilarious.
In tatoeba the mc (Lloyd) is OP but thinks he's weak because he comes from a village where descendants of strong people (to be specific heroes) live. So when he gets to a normal town the gap is quite astonishing. But the funny part is that the mc remains unaware. Along with many other colourful and wacky characters this anime reminds me a lot of One Punch Man.
In One Punch Man the mc (Saitama) is also ridiculously OP, he wanted to become a hero so he trained so much that he became bald. The comedy that comes from Saitama being OP, is the other heroes you see in comparison to Saitama. Saitama for a number of reasons isn't even an actual hero and when he does become registered well, let's just say he isn't recognised for his ability. Because of this you'll see lots of intense battles with other heroes and later Saitama (who wasn't called to the scene as others don't know he's strong) ends up ending the battle with 'one punch.'
These are the two main similarities between the shows, but both also have fun, wacky characters and many hilarious moments. If you like one, you'll definitely like the other.read more
The similarity of these anime is not on their plot or characters; it is in the quality of their animation. If you enjoyed the fluidity and the awesomeness of either series on your screens then the other is a must watch. Both series will give you greatly animated action scenes that will glue your eyes on the show each episode. Overall, One Punch Man and Kekkai Sensen are action-packed shows set in places filled with weirdness sprinkled with plenty of comedy.
Both anime focus on a very strong protagonist, who usually defeats his enemies with ease. They have a lot of action and fights, but also a lot of lighthearted comedic moments. The character design is also somewhat similar, especially the first villain that Saitama faces, who looks like a blue Piccolo.
Not much other than protagonists are similar with them having a very funny head shape and are equally as facially expressively funny when the moments arrive. Saitama and Onara are also great teachers.
Two very different comedies from the norm, with one being praised by a lot of people, the other being very strange, it speaks for itself.
Maximum Humor , Amazing action scene , Nothing too serious to worry about Just Relax Watch Enjoy ,Thats how I see OPM & Gintama , [ although gintama gets serious quiet often ] , Both MCs don't care about what others say and laze around . Both anime have crazy characters [ I mean great characters who are original and have no similar somehow , ( again gintama characters are sometime go beyond crazy .. ) , Watching both of them is Fun
Great action, funny, awesome fight scenes. Overpowerd characters, cool attacks etc. And if you're liking the animation in One piece, try One punch man. In my opinion One punch man has the best animation i've ever seen.
One punch man is a much shorter serie, it doesnt have as good as a story as one punch man. Not as great as character development as one piece does. BUT, one piece is one of a kind. No serie out there that I've seen comes near the adventureous and unique story of one piece. So dont try too hard finding a serie that does. Try One punch man instead and if you were looking for great comedy, great fight scenes and awesome animation. You're golden.
Thank me later ;)

It's goofy, it's got super-powered bald guys in it, it's goofy, what more could you ask for? If you love the comedic aspect of One Punch Man, the sheer ridiculousness present in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is sure to get a smile out of you, though I can't recommend binging Bobobo in any capacity whatsoever, as its LOL-SO-RANDOM style of humor wore on me pretty fast, but it's fine for a belly laugh every once in a while. Check it out, you might like it.
Both series have a protagonist that have a completely different attitude from the rest of the characters and don't really fit with the setting. Like Saitama, Vash the Stampede is an enigma who is extremely skilled compared the vast majority of fighters (not super OP like Saitama though), but is almost misunderstood by everyone. If you like Saitama, you will almost definitely like the way Vash fits in with his respective universe as well.
They both have the unlikely ace and same ongoing jokes. One Punch Man is joked as being the most powerful hero though he is in rank C. People don't believe Vash the Stampede is Vash the Stampede because of his playful and childlike demeanor. They both flip on their competence at the flick of a switch and episodes revolve around them unlocking their ability.
Both share the same rare anime theme of superheros, but Zetman takes a darker and more serious perspective on it with a more concrete story. The action is explosive on both ends and the main characters for each don't really care for a lot of things. The anime also share in having enemies that are more on the strange side.
I find these anime similar, because there's all kinds of monsters in the city. And there's always some kind of hero fighting them. Both anime's have great art style. One punch man is Overpowered but Zetman is really good too. Even though he's not as strong and can't kill with one punch only, but both main heroes fight for a good reason. Saitama - a hero for fun Zetman - a hero for justice.
Both have an unique superhero with some bizarre superpowers. Both are funny and entertaining. The protagonist are a lot similar in a lot of ways. Not focused on a single character, includes different superheroes. Do watch it if you want to laugh and have fun. (Edit: Dunno why one punch man came on the right side though I am recommending Luckyman cause we all know one punch man )
Both comedy intensive series with eccentric characters. Both have great characters with lots of varied and really strong character designs. Both have super up beat OSTs & great art styles.
Both animes involve cool powers and fighting, they also share the laid back lead and are both pretty funny.
I think that Blood Lad is a bit more hilarious with less epic fights than One Punch Man, but I've enjoyed both.
Blood Lad is a must watch if you like otaku humor, shonen and funny references to other anime. Sadly the anime only has 10 episodes. It's more a promotion for the manga with an open ending, but still worth watching.
One Punch Man is a must watch if you like comedy anime that involves just as much fighting, awesome animation, epic fights, episodic storys with a greater story progressing parallelly.read more
One Punch Man and Hataraku Saibou are story about certain groups that doing their job to save "the world".
Immune Cells = Heroes
Viruses, Bacterias, etc. = Monsters
Both have serious action scenes as well as comedy scenes. In One Punch Man, the story is mostly focused on Saitama, the overpowered hero. While in Hataraku Saibou, it's more like "Hero of the Day". However, the plot is different. Hataraku Saibou is an educational story about how cells work, while One Punch Man is a story about Heroes.
Two really great parody series, both keenly aware of the standard genre tropes and makes good use of humorous reactions.
Gekkan Shoujo, as its name suggests, parodies shoujo romance, One Punch Man is a parody of over-powered superheroes. The other key difference is that in Gekkan Shoujo most of the cast plays some role in deconstructing shoujo tropes and mocking overused scenarios; whereas in OPM, the main character is the only one who actively does anything to defy viewer expectations.
Both are parodies of shounen battle anime featuring arcs and characters poking fun of stereotypical cliches seen in such anime series. Sexy Commando is mostly pure comedy and gags however, where One Punch Man actually does have somewhat serious action and a stronger focus on fights. Both are hilarious and entertaining.
Also, both feature an inexplicably powerful and quirky protagonist that makes the rest of the characters seem laughably incompetent in comparison, even though you root for them anyway.
Main character is superpowerful (though in very different ways); zany humor mixed with absurd situations; a huge parody of conventional anime themes; feigns seriousness; hilarious.
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
Both have an op mc
The main characters feats dont get recognised and get taken by other people (for example, King in one punch man and Zhuo Yi in The Daily Life of the Immortal King
Both are parodies of the hot-blooded superhero shows that are good ones in their own right. Expect action-packed battles, hot-blooded music to pump you up and shout-outs to real life superhero series (be it anime, tokusatsu, or even American comic books).
Hazama is a civilian going about his life as a male model and wants to be a superhero, starting out fighting petty crime and moving up to fight terrifying monsters, gaining allies and more strength (both mental and physical) along the way whereas Saitama is a superhero climbing up from the initial C ranking he got by defeating monsters/villains of great power with his own, even greater, power. All this while he tries to concern himself with a regular civilian's duties and dilemmas such as his aparment food, clothes etc.read more
Do you just want to turn off your brain and just want to watch anything that has great animation??Then you have come to the correct recommendation.Kimetsu no yaiba and One punch man have done a great job in both animation and ost.Both have lovable characters.Both plots don't go into much detail.You will love both of these anime if you just want to watch anything that has a great animation.
One Punch Man and Cike Wu Liuqi Both Have
-eccentric comedy
-nicely animated action scenes
-protagonists with jobs related to fighting
-quirky character design
-protagonists with relaxed personalities
Scissor Seven's humour is really similar to One Punch Man's I think and it's characters are also very whacky and weird. It's a good show to watch if you want more of that OPM vibe.
Believe it or not, both these animes have things in common. Kinnikuman and One Punch Man are both satires to the "hero" ideology. Both series start with their protagonists trying to protect the world from monster attacks but both Kinnikuman and Saitama are underlooked by society. While Kinnikuman starts as a weak superhero but further progresses through the story and Saitama is already overpowered from beginning to end, both series feature over the top action, comedy, manliness, muscles, violence and friendship.
It is hilarious and entertaining and a parody of shounen. Sound, characters and art is nice. The whole package is good and if you loved Hayate no gotoku! then you will certainly enjoy one punch man.
Overpowered main character.
Absolutely ridiculous and over-the-top fight scenes, with plenty of budget and explosions.
Entertaining and diverse characters.
Solid comedy amidst the action.
Main character punches things and they die in glorious fashions.
Like one punch man has a hero association hunter x hunter also has hunter association
They both have main characters who are kinda overpowered - saitama for OPM and killuas family for HxH.
Both have characters who struggle more in fights than others.
Both protagonists are searching for something - a worthy adversary for saitama and his father for Gon.
The only main difference between them is that HxH is a bit darker than OPM.
Both have an Overpowered Main Character and super amazing animation style. I like how they are both solo character and don't show off there true power every 2 seconds
They are both really good comedies and parodies in their own way. One Punch Man for the shounen genre and Crayon Shin Chan for the slice of life genre. The main characters in both animes are also really charismatical, and the secondary characters are probably crazier as well.
The two battle shounen I have enjoyed the most in two different moments of my life. Ueki no Housoku was part of my childhood, and One Punch Man introduced me to anime series again after years. They both share a simple and funny main character with a strong sense of justice.
Two heroes bent on making the world a better place. One the epitome of cunning intellect the other the apex of physical prowess. Both are unbeatable in their respective realms.
The main character trains his/her whole life to be the most powerful being ever, succeeds, and also becoming friends with a fangirl sidekick who wants to be as powerful as him/her. Both hilarious with the main difference of not being in the same kind of world.
Both series parody common troupes in their respective genres. OPM makes fun of superhero shows like My Hero Academia and Bishounen is quite literally an attack on Ouran Koukou Host Club with Monogatari-like directing; heck Bishounen makes fun of its sister series of Bakemonogatari. Specifically, One Punch Man jokes about Gary Stus and 'bringer of justice' type characters while Bishounen attacks the male and female stereotypes of Ouran Koukou Host Club with fanservice parody, 'handsome vs. beautiful' nonsense. Both are hilarious.
I might change this later when I re-watch OPM, but believe it or not, both of these series are relatively similar comedically. In order to fully appreciate both of these animes, you have to understand satire and how both OPM and Kaguya roast a lot of cliches in their respective genres. This is especially highlighted by the fact that Furukawa Makoto plays the MCs for both of them LOL (Saitama in OPM and Kaichou Shirogane in Kaguya). These are some of my favorites so I see the connection better than other people might. Take this with a grain of salt if you have seen one but not the other!!read more
Parody. One Punch Man and Pop Team Epic are both good parodies in the themes they play with.
OPM doing this with an overpowered hero in the hero theme. PPTP just has silly surreal comedy to flex with. Both are really good parodies to the general formula of what you would get in the genres they situate in.
If u love an anime which has god tier fighting animation and story very funny and great . These are the shows for u. These anime have the best music ever and their m.c. are very cute and funny and hard working . U will love them
- both shows are a parody on hero anime
- both shows have god-tier level of comedy
- both shows have one character that is overpowered and another one who tries his best to became strong but he can never reach the level of his companion
Both are shounen, but OPM makes much more fun with the superhero trope as compared to DB Kai. However, if you like one, you will definitely like the other
Op protagonists who have no emotions (or have lost it). Although not related by plot, both protagonists also have in common the emotion of rage that only shows itself when their close ones are injured.
These two shows revolve around powerful people living a lifestyle that requires constant movement. A powerful person, Saitama, and a powerful organization, Libra, on a daily basis are fighting monsters / aliens in a modern day setting with a great action and comedy genre always present.
Both animes are about the heroes that are misunderstood. The MCs are despised and claimed worthless by fellow heroes and by the general public despite being the most capable amongst their comrades. Naofumi is the only one having the right attitude and understanding of their mission while Saitama is Just OP. Both meet several trusted allies or friends who deeply respect them.
If u like badass overpowered MC then these two are for u.
However OPM has superheroes with superpowers and focuses on comedy and parody.
Whereas Hagure Yuusha has magical/ fantasy theme and focuses more on ecchi/harem/romance aspect.
Also, both have over the top action
The best way to describe Project A-Ko is that it's like that Grandmother of Kill La Kill: with it's over top High school students dynamics and unusual clubs, and One Punch Man: with it's Over powered Main and satirical action anime comedy that keeps twisting exceptions.
Both series involve overpowered protagonists that you end up rooting for regardless, due to the shows' abilities to focus on minor characters and their growths alongside the MC. As well as this, both protagonists kinda involve some sort of progression that you get invested in; with Slime you end up rooting for Rimuru's village's growth; with One Punch Man you end up rooting for Saitama's recognition in the Hero Association. All fights are full of hype- especially the ones where you know that the protagonist wins, and acts as catharsis when you see the villain finally get beat up.
both anime has powerfull character, daily life's situations alterate to fighting (even if fights in dragon maid are few), a 16/17 years old character(Tohru/Genos) that goes stay with a 25 years old human main character(Kobayashi/Saitama) because gratitude, both Kobayashi and Saitama save the lives respectively of Tohru and Genos.
both anime are also very fun.
Both are recent comedy shows, which use many tropes and cliches from anime of similar genres for parodic entertainment. Their stories are quite simple and revolve around the same jokes, but their charm comes exactly from their simplicity. While Doamaiger D serves as a parody of the super robot genre, One Punch Man is a parody of superhero shows and comics, making them quite similar in atmosphere and vibe.
Same kind of epic, over the top badass stuff.
Both series have a start out pretty small but escalate to some huge fights. They're both pretty funny, but still have something serious about them. (You know, friendship, public opinion, some politics, saving mankind and stuff)
The animation and character style also felt similar to me.
Both gag/parody JUMP series.
Both feature immensely over powered main characters who's own powers become hinder-some and a source of distress for our heroes.
Both extremely popular "Hero" anime that focus on a world with Heroes, Villains and super powers.
Both have a main character who is or will be the strongest hero.
Both have amazing OSTs, animation and characters.
Both have very similar world building with both having Hero associations and increasingly dangerous villains.
Both use physical comedy and have similarities with their senses of humour. Both are "Hero" anime with high intensity action scenes, yet more of a focus on the series' comedy and characters. Both OST's and art styles are amazing.
While on the surface, Saint Oniisan and OPM have little in common, their comedic pacing and nature as slice-of-life [bromance] comedies starring unusual super-human characters give a similar vibe.
Saint Oniisan lacks action, fighting, or even much of a plot, but the premise of Jesus and Buddha rooming together in a Japanese apartment and dealing with the extraordinary comedic situations their powers put them in is very similar to the core dynamic of Saitama and Genos.
If you are drawn into One Punch Man for its comedy and novelty factor, and are looking for a fun, silly film that is equally as original in its concept, Saint Oniisan is worth a watch or two.read more
If you're willing to hop over a genre to a school romantic comedy, these two shows share quite a lot of similarity, especially in the protagonists. Both embrace a somewhat antihero role in their respective universes, despite being overall very well-intentioned.
Yahari Ore honestly has very little romance in it, and if you're interested in the underlying issues that One Punch tries to tackle, there are many of the same themes and a similar comedic style.
Noblesse OVA is simliar to the first episode of One Punch Man. It's all about overpowered main characters that can kill their enemies in single move while both enemies are transformed into more gigantic form than before. And of course both have really good battle animation.
Both popular comedy/gag anime.
Both have plenty of interesting and well designed characters as well as gag character designs for laughs.
Both have great animation, characters, OSTs & senses of humour.
Both have a diverse cast of interesting villains as well as a wide range of super powered characters.
Both have talking sentient animal characters.
Both have amazing world building and character designs.
While these two anime have different settings, both of them are not made to be taken seriously. The protagonist in both titles uses extraordinary powers to defeat powerful monsters. Both anime are hilarious to watch with cool characters and awesome action scenes. However Hell Teacher Nube has horror elements and is a way older than One Punch Man. If you don't mind watching older anime, if you like one then you may enjoy the other as well.
While these two anime have different settings, both titles has a very powerful main protagonist that fights against various powerful monster opponents. They are also both action-packed anime with lots of over the top action scenes. Differences between the two is that One Punch Man is not made to be taken seriously and is actually funny while Apocalypse Zero comes off unintentionally hilarious for trying be serious. If you enjoy one, you may like the other as well.
Both anime have over the top characters with fast paced action sequences and characters with extraordinary abilities. They both are very entertaining to watch from start to finish. If you like one, you may probably like the other.
Well, basically all of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure anime seasons. Both anime has "super" abilities. Both anime has op main character that will never lose. Both main character are badass.
Both shows are parodies of their genre (One punch man=superhero-genre and Mahou Shoujo Ore=magical girl-genre)
Both shows have lots of comedy and quite a few well-build men
Both appear to have a mix of different aspects such as robots, aliens, superpowers and superheroes. Both portray a society where these things are common place.
OK. Let me be clear. Both anime plots are very different, you can say that one is parody of heroes, another ''parody'' of school/ life, same with characters.
Both anime have plenty of humor, protoganists are ''teachers'', jus one of them (Saitama) have one pupil, and they ( Saitama, Onizuka) are not very amm... educated...? 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. And last, but not least, it's hard to tell how many hilarious facial expressions both protoganists has, it's like they have at least one expression for a different situation.
Ok... Don't mind me, just watch it and have a good time!read more
The humor technique is similar- tsukkomi- where one person does or say something dumb and another person calls him/her out on it. (For One Punch Man it's Saitama and Genos and for Cuticle Tantei Inaba it's (Mostly) Valentino and Kei)
Cuticle Tantei Inaba just focuses more on the plot whilst One Punch Man is more on making the gag.
Both have beautifully animated fights. While OPM's fights are more about scale and impressiveness, Sword of the Stranger puts more of a focus on fight choreography.
Both series are action heavy and feature intense, over the top fights against often surreal looking enemies. Contrary to One-Punch Man, Gantz is played serious and is a lot more violent however. People who enjoyed the fight scenes of One-Punch Man more than they did its humour might find more of what they're looking for in Gantz.
Tomoko really look and act like Saitama, strange physic, weird smiles etc ...
Both of them are strangers to their environment, and are not recognized as they should be
Each MC (I'm going to go with Spike and Satiama) are both laid-back and nonchalant
Villans can be quite ridiculous and outrageous, which I find to be a nice plus
The series themselves are episodic, but are excellent comedies
both series have a nice battle scene. each series have comedy side in their story. but Akame story more suspenseful than OPM that have more comedic side.
When I watch OP Man, I thought of Saitama being the shonen version of Dante due to the various reasons: Both being OP and having countless victories, mysterious past, partnership with another powerful beings, They are isolated and will always be no matter what, and They are involved in various missions involving various people.
Both anime have an episodic story line and fast paced action. I find DMC to be starkly contrasting to OP Man due to the dark tone and goriness. OP Man beats DMC in terms of popularity, story, character development, and media Nuff Said
One Punch Man and Yugioh GX have a powerful main char who wins in many battles but faces bad reputation from haters but do not mind their public image. JAM project does the opening in both shows as well.
Both are about a charismatic bald guy who is an uncrecognized hero. Saitama is unrecognized by the population in OPM's world, Kiyotaka by the real life anime watchers
Although their setting and mood are different (with OPM being a comedy and HnK being more tragic), both anime focus on an overpowered main character, who kills enemies almost effortlessly. Both have great art and over the top action.
Main Similarities:
•Bad guys come, the main character deals with them.
•Both main characters in the anime are very strong.
•Similar plot/setting.
•Similar-ish genres.
Keijo is an anime like One Punch man because they have one joke, but it is VERY funny. Butts hitting each other? Punching things? Comedy gold! Neither anime get bogged down by useless things like plot or character development.
Although their setting and mood are different (with OPM being a comedy and HnK being more tragic), both anime focus on an overpowered main character, who kills enemies almost effortlessly. Both have great art and over the top action.
Both anime use common tropes that are present in other works of the same genre as their foundation, in order to expose and make fun of them (OPM uses tropes from the superhero genre, while TTGL uses tropes from the super robot genre). Both shows have a similar type of humor and over the top action scenes. They are self-conscious shows that try to be entertaining and are not meant to be taken seriously. They also create a similar atmosphere and vibe.
Both are episodic, monster-of-the-week series about super power users, both with skeletal main plot. Both contain some fanservice, and both are intended parodies of the 'it's so stupid it's hilarious' kind. Both explore single joke for most of their run. While their underlying jokes are completely different, both series hinge upon one finding the joke good enough to sustain their attention for the whole 12 episodes.
Both anime have a very strong main character, who is trying to find strong opponents, but usually ends up defeating them easily (although their reasons for doing so are not the same). They also have a similar sense of humor and supernatural abilities.
The main characters in both shows are OP and have mysterious past and how they acquired their powers. Casshern Sins is the opposite of OP Man for the following Reasons:
-Underrated to OP Man's Overratedness
-Darker and Grittier tone to OP Man's Light and Goofy tone
-Casshern is more emotional as opposed to Saitama's lazy demeanor
Both shows are produced by Madhouse and if you enjoyed one or the other, watch it.
