The story is simple, the world is in danger from "monsters". As it happens a guy named Saitama trains for 3 years straight and acquires the physique of Bruce Lee , strength of Hulk on steroids, speed of an asteroid and the punching power of Mount Everest shot out of a barrett sniper rifle . Saitama nonchalantly tears the monsters apart regardless of the situation. Big muscular Lion looking "monster". No problem. You try to one up this guy with a projectile? He can catch it. You're trying to run away? Check your closet, Saitama is already there.
There is no actual limit to his power. Which can be fun seeing as no one in this anime seems to have a clue about it and the situations that arise are both comedic and bombastic in scope. However that's all there is to it. There's no character progression, no real story to speak of . No room for improvement. Just one immortal character in a sea of piñatas. So take that for what it is and you'll enjoy it.
Visual and audio effects are spectacular. The fights will make you want to do a lot of push ups and sit ups and drink plenty of juice. Don't forget to shave your head.
All in all, what we have here is a young Master Roshi in his hay day punching a few circus performers. Thoroughly enjoyable for what it is.
