10 anime to watch if you like One Punch Man Crunchyroll\/IMDBWith its humor, action sequences and likeable characters, One Punch Man is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that can\u2019t be replicated. But these 10 series get pretty close. If you, like many other anime fans out there, loved One Punch Man, then you\u2019re probably wondering what else is out there that could fill the giant hole Saitama and Genos left behind. One Punch Man is loved by so many because it\u2019s an anime parody of classic shonen (and seinen) tropes. Saitama \u2013 our hero, although you already knew that \u2013 is overpowered and indestructible. However, the characters around him have numerous comical failings that provide hours of entertainment. As anticipation builds for One Punch Man\u2019s Season 3, slated for 2024, we\u2019ve compiled a list of our top 10 anime recommendations. Ranging from eccentric characters to captivating superhero sagas, we think that you\u2019ll love these picks if you loved One Punch Man. 10 anime to watch if you like One Punch Man If you loved the comedic action, terrifying monsters or even the collection of quirky characters in One Punch Man, we have your next anime series binge sorted. Here are our top ten series for fans of the seinen show. 10. Samurai Flamenco Just like One Punch Man, 2013 series Samurai Flamenco revolves around the lives of everyday people who become superheroes. Saitama allegedly gains his super strength with his infamous 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10K run every single day. But in Samurai Flamenco, main character Masayoshi Hazama becomes a superhero the old fashioned way \u2013 by fighting crime in the streets. The plot revolves around a male model, Masayoshi Hazama, who decides he wants to become a superhero. Although he doesn\u2019t have superpowers or immense wealth, he tries to stop criminals anyway, which leads to many hilarious scenarios. Available to watch on: Crunchyroll and Funimation 9. My Hero Academia With six seasons and 138 episodes, My Hero Academia is an immensely popular shonen action anime about teenage superheroes. My Hero Academia is an obvious choice if you like One Punch Man. Both have a large cast of superheroes with unique abilities. However, where One Punch Man breaks boundaries and turns traditional shonen tropes on their head, My Hero Academia showcases all of them in full animated glory. The show follows a young boy, Izuku Midoriya, who dreams of becoming a superhero, even though he\u2019s born without any powers. However, one day, his life changes when he meets his childhood hero. Available to watch on: Crunchyroll, Funimation and Hulu 8. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Just like One Punch Man, this lighthearted comedy questions whether being an overpowered superhero is actually worth it. The plot follows Kusou Saiki, a young man who was born with incredible powers, including telepathy and x-ray vision. But while everyone in his universe is in awe of his incredible abilities \u2013 just like OPM\u2019s Saitama \u2013 Kusou views them as a curse that brings him nothing but trouble. With its simple storyline and a huge variety of jokes, watch as Kusou\u2019s attempts to lead an ordinary life prove harder than he imagined, as his superpowers attract the attention of a variety of hilarious foes. Available to watch on: Netflix and Funimation 7. Jujutsu Kaisen Just like One Punch Man, Jujutsu Kaisen is an immensely popular anime that deals with a main protagonist that\u2019s been thrust into the spotlight due to his immense (if a little unorthodox) abilities. The story follows Yuji Itadori, an ordinary high school student with exceptional athletic abilities. However, his life changes when he crosses paths with Megumi Fushiguro, a Jujutsu Sorcerer who\u2019s searching for a special grade cursed object: Ryomen Sukuna\u2019s finger. After Itadori decides to eat the finger to save his friends, he gains cursed energy himself as Sukuna\u2019s vessel, and joins Jujutsu High as a first year sorcerer. Filled with action, comedy and incredible characters, Jujutsu Kaisen is a must-watch for any action fan. Available to watch on: Crunchyroll, Funimation and Netflix 6. Gintama Gintama, or Silder Soul, is another anime series filled with humor and loveable characters. Airing between 2005 and 2021, this popular anime is perfect for anyone who loves One Punch Man. Instead of superheroes, Gintama provides a slice of history with a twist. Taking place in a version of late-Edo Japan where aliens have taken over the world, the story follows the life of former rebel samurai Gintoki Sakata. Once a legendary fighter, Gintoki now takes any work he can find. But he hasn\u2019t forgotten his training or the way of the sword. Just like One Punch Man, this is a hilarious action series that will leave you wanting more with every episode. Although, with nine seasons, it might be a little too long for you to binge watch in one go. Available to watch on: Crunchyroll 5. Full Metal Panic! One Punch Man\u2019s most popular element is probably Saitama and Genos\u2019 unorthodox friendship. They\u2019re polar opposites. Genos is a straight-faced cyborg that usually goes in for the overkill. Whereas Saitama may as well be living in a simulation \u2013 nothing ever seems to phase him. So if you like One Punch Man for the comical duo, then you\u2019ll love Full Metal Panic. The series revolves around super-serious undercover anti-terrorist agent Sousuke, who\u2019s infiltrated Jindai High School, and hot-headed high school student Kaname Chidori. They\u2019re also an odd pair. However, in this fantastic action series, their dynamic works perfectly to make Full Metal Panic! definitely worth a watch. Available to watch on: ITVX and Crunchyroll 4. Aggretsuko Netflix series Aggretsuko was one of the platform\u2019s early attempts at anime when it debuted in 2018. Now, five seasons and 50+ episodes later, it has a cult following worthy of One Punch Man\u2019s own fanbase. The story follows an adorable red panda called Retsuko who\u2019s struggling with pent up emotions. But instead of lashing out at innocent bystanders, she decides to sing at her favorite karaoke bar instead. While it isn\u2019t an action series, Aggretsuko is an excellent comedy that mirrors Saitama\u2019s own quarter-life Crisis and battle with pent up emotions. So, if you enjoyed One Punch Man for its relatable look at Saitama\u2019s life, then this show is definitely for you. Available to watch on: Netflix 3. Assassination Classroom Just like One Punch Man (and some other entries on this list), Assassination Classroom\u2019s plot revolves around an overpowered protagonist yearning for a challenge. While Saitama and Genos battle mysterious monsters, Koro-sensei decides to train a group of young assassins to kill him before their school year is up, or else he\u2019ll destroy the Earth. This shonen parody series shares the same kind of humor as One Punch Man, and therefore is the perfect show to watch for any fans of the series. Available to watch on: Funimation and Crunchyroll 2. The Devil is A Part-Timer! Comedy is a running theme on this list. And it\u2019s no wonder, because One Punch Man is one of the most hilarious action anime series of all time. Just like One Punch Man, The Devil is a Part-Timer! takes ordinary life experiences and incorporates supernatural elements. The plot revolves around a version of Satan who ends up in Japan without any magic to return to hell, so he\u2019s forced to work part time in a fast food joint. However, unlike most people who\u2019ve ever worked in the fast food industry, he takes his normal human job way too seriously, with some hilarious results. Available to watch on: Crunchyroll 1. Mob Psycho 100 The final entry on our list is Mob Psycho 100. Both beloved shows have very similar elements: overpowered protagonists, mind-bending action sequences, and a poignant look at how someone can struggle to fit into their environment. And its no surprise, because Mob Psycho 100\u2019s manga was illustrated by the same person. The plot follows a seemingly average middle school boy called Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed Mob. However, he has immense psychic abilities. To keep in control of that power, he is forced to live life under an emotional shackle. But, just like as in One Punch Man, things never go quite as planned.
