One Punch Man

Author: One

How much fun are you looking to have this week? A lot? Good, then you need to watch One Punch Man! An adaptation of a hugely popular web-comic, One Punch Man takes a classic British science fiction concept, the Bored Immortal, and applies it to super heroes with brilliant results. What's One Punch Man's power? He can defeat villains with a single punch! Only thing is, he doesn't want to hero any more unless the villain is worth him using the power of ONE PUNCH! The series is so solid, just like the comic it's based on, and what keeps you watching is the way it slides between obtuse parody just plan ol' fashioned kickassedness! The stories are funny, and at the same time, super-serious. Few anime series, and really few works of art, manage to walk the line as perfectly as One Punch Man, and none manage the connection with the story. Why it's on the list: The characters are memorable, the animation fluid and fun, and most importantly, it's the kind of thing you can watch again and again and never feel like you've seen it all!
