Before isekai anime dominated the scene, Problem Children laid the groundwork. This series follows overpowered characters transported to a world of games and challenges. While the main character is cocky compared to Saitama’s laid-back demeanor, both share the common theme of unbeatable strength and a search for worthy opponents. If you enjoy light novel vibes and stories akin to No Game No Life, this anime will hit the mark.
9. Tiger and Bunny%20(23).jpeg)

In a world where heroes are ranked, sponsored, and commercialized, Tiger and Bunny explores the corporate side of heroism. While it lacks the over-the-top action of One Punch Man, its focus on the reality TV-like treatment of superheroes brings a fresh perspective. If you loved the satirical elements of One Punch Man, you’ll find Tiger and Bunny equally engaging.
8. To Be Hero%20(24).jpeg)

What happens when a toilet seat designer gets superpowers but loses his good looks in the process? To Be Hero answers that question with slapstick humor, absurd scenarios, and chaotic comedy. While the humor leans heavily on crass jokes, the show shares One Punch Man’s parody of superhero tropes. If you can handle a bit of toilet humor, you’re in for a wild ride.
7. Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto%20(25).jpeg)

Sakamoto might not be punching villains, but he handles every situation with effortless style and finesse. The similarities between Sakamoto and Saitama lie in their unshakable confidence and unmatched abilities. Whether he’s dealing with bullies or helping classmates, Sakamoto always comes out on top—cool, composed, and flawless. If you love One Punch Man's effortless charm, you'll adore Sakamoto.
6. Assassination Classroom%20(26).jpeg)

Meet Koro-sensei, a grinning yellow tentacle creature who destroyed part of the moon and now teaches a classroom of would-be assassins. Like Saitama, Koro-sensei is immensely powerful and constantly seeks a worthy challenge. However, his bond with his students and the heartfelt lessons he imparts set this anime apart. Packed with action, comedy, and emotional depth, Assassination Classroom is a must-watch.
5. Overlord%20(27).jpeg)

Overlord tells the story of Ainz Ooal Gown, an undead overlord who’s essentially unstoppable in his world. While the tone of Overlord is darker and more serious than One Punch Man, the core similarity lies in having an overpowered protagonist who dominates every challenge with ease. If you enjoy power fantasies and grand world-building, Overlord won’t disappoint.
4. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.%20(28).jpeg)

For Saiki Kusuo, psychic powers aren’t a blessing—they’re a curse. Like Saitama, Saiki views his immense power as more of an inconvenience than an advantage. Both shows blend absurd humor with the concept of overwhelming power, leading to hilariously relatable moments. If you love One Punch Man’s comedic tone, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is a perfect match.
3. My Hero Academia%20(29).jpeg)

My Hero Academia is arguably the most popular modern superhero anime. While One Punch Man focuses on a hero who starts off as the strongest, My Hero Academia follows Deku, a determined underdog striving to become the world’s greatest hero. With colorful characters, incredible action scenes, and a gripping storyline, MHA is a must-watch for superhero fans.
2. Gintama%20(30).jpeg)

Known for its flawless balance of comedy, action, and emotional storytelling, Gintama is a legend in the anime world. Like One Punch Man, it parodies common anime tropes while delivering epic action arcs. Whether you're laughing at absurd jokes or crying over intense moments, Gintama has something for everyone. It’s a long series, but every episode is worth it.
1. Mob Psycho 100%20(31).jpeg)

From the creator of One Punch Man comes Mob Psycho 100, an anime that explores the life of Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama, a powerful psychic with overwhelming abilities. While One Punch Man focuses on physical strength, Mob Psycho dives into the emotional struggles of being overpowered. With incredible animation, heartfelt moments, and absurd comedy, Mob Psycho 100 is the ultimate recommendation for any One Punch Man fan.
