One-Punch Man - Recommendations

yamiksha says...

Kageyama Shigeo, a.k.a. "Mob," is a boy who has trouble expressing himself, but who happens to be a powerful esper. Mob is determined to live a normal life and keeps his ESP suppressed, but when his emotions surge to a level of 100%, something terrible happens to him! As he's surrounded by false espers, evil spirits, and mysterious organizations, what will Mob think? What choices will he make?

melanieyeniz says...

The style and sense of humor used is basically the same. Most likely because they're both made by the same guy! c:

JonnySQ says...

Same creator with very similar humor and plotlines. They are pretty much deviations off each other.

Trogdor says...

The art style is the same and both were written by ONE. The animes are both action/comedy and have a similar feel of a really strong protagonist, Mob Psycho 100 has more character development. Both are really well done so I'd recommend watching them.

Jarubakit says...

I just want to agree on this recommendation to help out. Now I'm just filling up hundred characters.

fawkingdun says...

It has the same mangaka, ONE, once again an OP main character, but with amazing character development 

audioXD says...

They are verry simular. They both are over powered. And the music is avsome. Sorry but I must put some text so bla bli blu bla.

Zangetsu92 says...

They are pretty much the same premise, different back stories and stories obviously but same animation, same awesome fight scenes, only difference is one is brute power and the other is akira style telekinesis! Both epic anime's IMO!

BJJShutIn says...

The mangas of both of them were written by ONE.

LastGamer13 says...

Comon, identical humor and animations. Mob is just as overpowered as Saitama and also doesn't seem to care a lot about things.

Denshell says...

Both adapted by the same author and both deal with the concept of a overpowered hero. The animation looks very similar.

Zegira says...

kedua anime ini sangat terkait karena tokoh dari keduanya sangat merendah dalam "show up" kekuatan mereka, ekspresi mereka pun sangant mirip ketika bertarung

Muggins says...

Praise to the animators at Madhouse studios! Their artwork is gorgeous.

I recommend both of these shows, mainly because I have never been disappointed by any of the shows made by Madhouse studios. In fact, my favourite shows are made by them. 

Mob Psycho 100 is a story about a young boy with psychic abilities and his boss who claims to be a professional exercist. The story follows the two and their adventures of performing exercisms. This is a quircky, funny show that I would recommend to people who enjoy strange, supernatural stories with silly humor.

One Punch Man is a story set in a world where nearly everyone is a superhero and it follows a young man who doesn't care to be a superhero. He just wants to find someone who can actually challenge his tremendus fighting ability. This anime is perfect for people who are looking for a funny show with amazing fighting animation accompanied by silly humor.

It's very likely that if you enjoy one, you'll enjoy the other. I have heard nothing but good things from my friends about these two. As I'm sure you can tell from my opening blurb, I'm a huge Madhouse fan and I definitely recommend these two shows. Along with all the rest of their shows!

P.S. Enjoy! 

Telepathic says...

They both have amazing stories. I would say that Mob Psycho 100 has more plot to it. The art style is very similar but not the same. Both have amazing comedy to them too!

DiamanteLoco says...

Main characters are in a similar position, but struggle with their powers in different ways. The comedy is similar because of ONEs distinct writing. The quality of the animation in both series is amazing.

spiersandrew says...

Exact same concept and essentially the same animation. Both feature characters with immense power that dwarfs anyone else in the series but are constantly looked down on due to how they act or look. 

sangheelee101 says...

Made by the same creator 'ONE', the art styles are similar and unique. The plot for both anime certainly have some similarities, but the humour and action of both call for views!

ReanimateAnime says...

Two and a half years have passed since the end of mob’s old adventures. He has trained hard with Jiraiya-sama and has returned to Konoha to reunite with his friends; but Akatsuki, the organization that threatened Naruto years before, is on the move again and this time Naruto is not the only one in danger. With the powerful Akatsuki organization looming ahead of him, Sasuke still missing, and the struggle with the beast hidden inside him a continuous battle, will Naruto's hard-earned improvements be enough? Join Naruto, Sakura, new friends and the rest of the old gang as the action heats up with new techniques and stronger enemies.

OmniscientAristocrat says...

1. Both these anime have an incredibly overpowered protagonist who rarely uses his ability. 2. They are each colorful and deal with superpowers/ special abilities. 3. All of the characters are lovable and often hilarious.

boopdeedoop says...

One Punch Man and Mob Psycho are both worth watching. Both are funny as hell and have left me laughing many times. They follow the line of humorous art styles on characters and how the characters act.

Starletka says...

Made by the same author, the two have similar animation (egg-faces all around), similar characters, and similar humour.

aphelionn says...

I agree, the Mob Psycho 100 webcomic was made by the same guy (One) who made the One Punch Man webcomic. But instead of feats of physical strength, Mob displays intense supernatural powers.

phoenixaurora says...

These anime are both based off webcomics by ONE. The creator's writing style is evident through the unique humour, lovable protagonists and cast of colorful supporting characters. The anime takes this fantastic material and elevates it with some of the most fluid, epicly breathtaking animated fights I've seen in years.

The theme of having special powers yet still living life humbly as an ordinary person is seen in the protagonists Mob (MP100) and Saitama (OPM). Mob is both special and ordinary. His nickname is even a reference to the idea of a "background character/NPC". Despite his unassuming looks, he has extraordinary potential to level a city.

In their show's universe, Saitama and Mob are probably the strongest in their respective fields, but don't have widespread recognition among the general public. Even if they don't have huge ambitions to become the best superhero or the strongest esper, the show sends a message that it's okay as long as people try to do the right thing.  

As well, Saitama has some character traits in common with Reigen from MP100. Both Reigen and Saitama can be over the top and exaggerated at times. Other times, they're cool, collected and confident. As adults, they're more mature than teenage protagonists like Mob, but they still have a youthful sort of passion for heroism in the world. 

reebs94 says...

Both anime are from the same creator, giving both a similar feel and animation style. Each has an over-powered main character; although they share this same characteristic, the ways in which the characters deal with their powers is highly different. Saitama accepts his abilities and uses them to his full strength while Mob does what he can to keep his powers under control. Overall, both anime have interesting story lines and well thought out characters. 

hinkil says...

God like MC                                                                                                           

Slade1818 says...

Its made by the same Author: One. Both Characters are OP laid back nice guys altho Mob doesnt go around looking for trouble like Saitama.

tonny89 says...

The main caracter here are basic the same, extremely powerful but life still feels empty. The essence of this animes are not based on complex stories. But still incredible how interesting and wonderfully i love both.  

EagleZombie says...

They're both stories about incredibly powerful, but underrated characters that give you a different perspective on everyday things. 

DOOLY says...

UNPREDICTABLE-If you're not into superpowers or supernatural thingy, you'll be, if you'll watch this. That's all. Trust me. ;-)

ReaperOS says...

They are both beuatifully animation series brimming with comedy and enough action to keep a shounen enthusiast satisfied for days.

Atomikitten says...

Both of One's creations are filled with laugh-out-load moments pieced togtehr with stunning and unusal ways to show action. A must watch if you love Saitama and his everyday with unbelieveable power. 

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series have the same original creator, and have a seriously similar vibe. They're both kinda weird comedies, with wacky characters and general awesomeness

Manda221B says...

Not only are they made by the same person (the style is similar for both animes) but the storylines are also similar. They're both about a character who has extraordinary gifts with bits of humor through the show. Overall, both animes are exceptional.

Animescient says...

Saitaiman and the mc of mob Psycho 100 are both very blank facial expressed mcs with op powers. The art style is very similar and watching dub version of both is not reccomended.

ProxyGecko says...

Both of them have comedic and serious aspects to them. They can be silly at times but continue to keep your interest even when you're not laughing.

Tacogoz says...

Dude they are the same aurthor, ofcourse you would like Mob Psycho 100 if you liked One punch

mauo42 says...

They both are made from same creator and they both have same character type. both anime had got everything you need for an excellent anime. Theyhave an op mc which stays hidden from society and try lead a peacful life.

MudkipMaster132 says...

they both have same comedic activity in the series, and they are created by the same as the other.

It has the same cocky style thats simple then intensifies in the fights. It goes along with it because everyone loves the characters actions (bruh i just need 100 characters minimum pls)

madio20 says...

1. Both main characters are overpowered
2. Both shows are funny and have similar sense of humor
3. Both are easy to get into
4. Both made by same author

AbsolutelyNot says...

Both from the same artist. Super OP main characters that really don't give a damn and don't use their powers as often as anyone else in their situation would.

FaylenSol says...

Same creators so it has a same vibe/feel to it. The art style is different, but the humor and action are stellar. 

tehpef says...

Though the animation style and approach is different, they share many themes--unsurprising as they're written by the same author. They both feature the most powerful person in their respective universes as the protagonist and focus on answering the question, "Once you're the strongest, what then?" Both focus on the protagonist's internal growth through "ordinary" issues like figuring out what you should do with your life, finding your place in society, navigating social relationships, etc., while still featuring spectacular fights.

Leahchu says...

Each anime has an overpowered main protagonist that doesn't like fighting unless it is for a good reason. They are both wary of the aftermath their fighting produces and are unsure why they are so strong. The humor of both shows is also similar which is to be expected since the stories are from the same creator but if you liked one its a safe bet you will like the other!

Radtitania says...

Both One Punch man and Mob Psycho 100 are created by the same man. If you bust a gut laughing at either of these then you're in for treat with the other as well. Be sure to look out for the several easter egg references to its sibling anime while watching.

Celestino20 says...

Both shows share the same author. This becomes evident in their art styles and animation styles despite coming from different studios.

YokoIsNotHere says...

Very similar plot but with great action and fighting sequences. I started Mob Psycho with low expectations, IT'S AMAZING. The art style is very different and pleasing to look at during fights. Same over powered character but with a helmet on this time. 

DarwinsGame says...

Both anime feature a generally disinterested but ridiculously overpowered main character. Hilarous with great fighting!

alaynac says...

One-Punch Man was made by the same studio as Mob Psycho 100. And there's a lot of similarities.

For example, Mob Psycho 100 doesn't have a hero and villain system. But a powerful main character just looking for the purpose of life. Like Saitama.

Instead of One-Punch Man including a variety of different superpowers or strengths, Mob Psycho revolves around espers. Which are psychics.

mashyxya says...

Due to similarity. Main characters both come across as weak individuals when in-fact they're incredibly powerful, don't exploit their powers for personal gain to the point of it gaining traction. Both anime's have awesome fight scenes with great animation as well.  other than small quirks the story may have, they're both quite similar and quite enjoyable to watch.

Smartredhead says...

shows by the same creator, also the main characters a kinda similar in their emotionles OP but endearing way

Katfee says...

Both feature overpowered characters who seen lacking in ambition. They both have a similar mood which is understandable considering they were made by the same person!

Aicaseth says...

It's the thrill of the fights, new things, it makes me want to experience new things, and the one that the other one makes a come back is a little precious for me 

SKR21 says...

Mob Pyscho 100 and One Punch Man have a lot in common; both shows focus on OP protagonists and feature tons of mind blowing battles! Both show were made by the same artist. ONE is the enigmatic artist behind both anime. 

DanCharles7 says...

Because its by the same mandingo man.

Ha ha mAnDiNGo MAn.

Funny haha mandingo haha mandingo man dingo man man.

basicbitch420 says...

They are made from the same creator and both have main characters that are tired of being too strong

JErvv says...

                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Musfik1999 says...

tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch but seeks to find a worthy foe after growing bored by a lack of challenge due to his overwhelming strength. ONE wrote the original webcomic version in early 2009, and it quickly grew in popularity, surpassing 7.9 million hits in June 2012. The series has since received a manga adaptation illustrated by Yusuke Murata, as well as an anime adaptation.

The series' digital manga remake began publication on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website in 2012. The chapters are periodically collected and printed into tankōbon volumes. As of November 2019, 20 volumes have been released, 17 of which have been republished in English. Viz Media has licensed the remake for English serialization in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine. Its English release was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2015 and a Harvey Award in 2016.

An anime television adaptation was created by Madhouse and aired in Japan between October and December 2015. It was dubbed in English during the summer of 2016, and a second season was announced later that year. On September 25, 2017, it was announced the production company and director had changed. The second season was animated by J.C.Staff, with Chikara Sakurai replacing Shingo Natsume as director and Yoshikazu Iwanami replacing Shoji Hata as sound director. The second season aired between April and July 2019.Animation, Action, Comedy 

Soulsub says...

They are both op characters and have some good action episodes. Though most episodes are boring some are really good.

gold086 says...

OP MC and blank character with barely any emotion with some good humour as well as umm only a few cool fights the rest being super 1 sided

haahha and same creater

PapizOffz says...

Similar stories. Both tells us about overpoverd characters - One Punch Man in more comedical way, and Mob Psycho more deeply, with life advices. I love both of them. One Punch Man, cause of its sense of humor, and Mob Psycho of lovely story.

Zentipede says...

I agree with this one, Mob Psycho 100 and One-Punch Man are both written by One. I enjoyed watching these anime because they involve around action and comedy (my two favorite things).

jypsel says...

Both Mob Psycho 100 and One-Punch Man have protagonists that not only have the same art style, but have a nearly identical personality, too.  Both Mob and Saitama are over-powered, easy-going characters with very little understanding fo of the world around them. This leads to absolute hilarious chaos.  If you enjoyed the humor in one, I think you will definitely enjoy the humor of the other. 

Fierceflower says...

They were made by the same person so if you like the one you're probably going to like the other.

Ryuga10 says...

coming from the same author this is very much similar to OPM. it has the overpowered character and the chalenges he faces

1dTen says...

Humor, action, adventure, and the search for completeness/wholeness with overpowered main protagonist.

YaBoyUneven says...

Were made by the same writter "The ONE" and have breath-taking animation. If you need more of an op character who sees no reason in strength these are the shows for you!

t0uKeNg says...

Both were made by the same guy and have good animation with an op protagonist. Both focus heavily on their main character's development and are very funny. 

Babaalin says...

supre action. I also like overpowermain cherector . It is very funny anime. Nice personality and many more.

tastypastryparty says...

Same style, made by same person, cool fights, overpowered MC, funny characters, nice MC, etc.

LoadingScream says...

Its pretty much the same anime except Mob Psycho 100 is psychic powers instead of strength. Comedy and animation are very similar. 

MDSIsekai says...

Both have the same kind of feel to it where there is one super overpowered chracter and rest are just in awe of this character

coolitdown says...

both stories deal with main characters that have these incredible powers. both series have great action scenes and there is some great humor as well.

Okuyasu159 says...

19O8 says...

Mob Psycho 100 is very much like One-Punch Man and viceversa . The fight scenes and comedy are equally as unique. I watched One-Punch Man first, followed by Mob Psycho 100 and I literally felt like I was watching One-Punch Man except with a different art style. 

obliviblob says...

First of all they are the same author. Both have main characters who are much stronger than anyone else.

I would say MP has a little bit less action but the message is deeper and the characters and their relationships are more well-rounded. While OPM is meant to be more funny/action/satire, MP still has elements of humor and satire but I think trades some of them off for a deeper philisophical message than OPM.

When I watched MP, OPM was my favorite anime, but after watching it MP is now my favorite.

avbbb17 says...

If you like the art style and the way ONE writes his characters, you'll like mob and his similar stuggle to find purpose in the world.

KaiScribbles says...

I love both Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man!! I haven't finished the OPM anime, though. From what I've seen, it's really interesting! Both art styles are amazing ^^ Mob Psycho on the other hand, I have seen the anime (need to read the manga.) I think it's safe to say it's my favorite anime series <33 I love both main characters from both MP100 and OPM. Both MC's are super op, but their development is amazing :>

UPDATE: I finished OPM a few weeks ago and I really do think it's super interesting! Really got me attached to a lot of the characters :}

ignaciole says...

Same style of animation and something you could call "dumb faces that could get really serious sometimes".

sherryo21 says...

One Punch Man and Mob Psycho are creations of the same person. Both shows follow an overpowered protagonist and their struggles.

riapurisai says...

they both have very satirical main characters who have low-key no emotions, and have hella powers

boredForeveer says...

They both revolve around an OP MC, both of them with carefree attitudes. The MC's get scary in terms of power when they start to feeling angry, but they still manage to have different storylines that keep you on your toes.

arnexks says...

The creator one makes such interesting characters, that it's hard to not enjoy their story. Also both anime have action scenes THAT KICK ASS.

josevchh says...

Overpowered, innocent main characters who are not really self-aware of their total potential. 

apocalypticGnostic says...

They both have overpowered protagonists and the same original creator. Also, they are both action-comedy.

TumorsAreGood says...

Comedy, Overpowered main character used for gags and both are made by the same studio, so it's the same art style as well.

Charffy says...

In mob psycho there are little Easter eggs that have saitama in it, one in the very first episode and some saitama’s on the fast food drinks, idk I it’s just me who saw them but they are there

Mikeout says...

If you liked One-Punch Man or Mob Psycho 100, you'd like the other because both have similar plots, animation, and overpowered mc

noiissofiiine says...

both mangas are by the same author, both have pretty similar setups but opm is more comedic while mp100 explores more the emotional side

TDemonspawn says...

both charming and comedic with a stupidly OP protagonist that however always makes it work and you're cheering for them to unleash their true power and save the day.

chash says...

Both are fun related anime with lots of action and a student teacher relationship in vice versa fun form and you will be surprised to know that both have same writer

mucca says...

The original mangas were by the same person. It also both involves a pretty unphased mc with power, surrounded by a world that is the setting for any generic shonen anime. Both mc's deal with certain situations in interesting, unique ways that you don't often see in any anime. I'd also recommend "The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K." If you liked both of these.

KozukiZoro says...

It's made by the same author, and it's got a similar feel to it. Both are about overpowered characters however in one punch man he wants somebody strong to fight. In Mob Psycho 100, he doesn't want to use his power against people. Both also have great animation.

Lostro says...

First of all, they have the same creators, the animation is pretty good in both, and both characters are overpowered. One Punch Man deals with an extremely overpowered dude trying to find worthy opponents who can show him the joy of battling, while Mob Psycho 100 deals with a teenager that wants to live a normal life without powers. The same type of characters, different environments. 

Amateratsu998 says...

Both comedies are surrounded by an overpowered MC. They are both hilarious, and will not be a regret to watch

Akshay2021 says...

Different setting, same vibes , both are best in terms of action.

If you want to watch a similar Anime with all hyped up actions, try this combo.

Tomatron20 says...

Both anime are about overpowered characters who find no interest in being strong as no enemy is challenging 

ToeBeans405 says...

Both are made by the same person and focus on a protagonist that is extremely overpowered. You'll likely enjoy one if you enjoy the other.

TheAngriestPotato says...

Both Mob Psycho 100 and one punch man have the same type of weird and yet entertaining humor. They both also have an over-powered main charecter. I definently recommend these anime.

ZoologyKaM says...

They're made by the same author!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Of Course you would like them both!!!

JUZ07 says...

They're simply different manifestations of the same fundamental concept: an overpowered main character. Furthermore, both of them have difficulty expressing their emotions. However, I believe that Mob Psycho 100 is better because opm is more of a parody, whereas Mob Psycho is meant to be taken seriously with better character writing.

RickGrimes says...

Both have superhero themes(eg:- Superhero rankings,test,lvls). Paired with superb animation. Both also have a large cast.

SakuraT37 says...

Both are engrossed in the whole 'superhero' concept, unique art styles and characters. Both of these anime are amazing and deserve all the respect :)

GabiiTachibana says...

Although the protaganists are exceptionally different, both anime involve eccentric superheroes and a competitive hero ranking system. They are also both really funny!

ashman711 says...

one is a show about someone so overpowering it's ridiculous while the other is about someone without powers in a world full or super beings.  both showcase the true meaning of being a hero.

AmazingLagann says...

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.

SuperGeekSwordsman says...

Well they are both anime about heroes and the are both funnywhile they Can still be badass moments! 10\10 for one punch man, 7/10 for Boku no hero academia (There are some partsthat Can be long)

Trinah101 says...

(I would like to preface this with, although I have not finished Oone Punch Man anime, I read the manga(so it might be slightly different... probably not from what I heard though.)

Both anime have about the same world, filled with super heros, and so there is a wide range of differnet powers. One Punch Man is more comedy than Hero Academia, however in types of worlds they are very similar. The difference comes in the characters. While both main characters just wanted to be super heros...

In One Punch Man, our main character decided one day to become a hero and so trained and became really immensely strong. So strong his hair fell out and he could defeat anything in one punch. Really though, he just wants to find someone who is a challenge to defeat.

In Hero Academia, our main character is a fan boy of a famous super hero, and although he does not have any quirks (the name for powers in this anime), he still dreams of becoming a hero and chases this dream even though everyone says it's impossible. Well, without giving too much away, he gets closer to reaching his dream throughout the anime. We watch him grow from a quirkless boy to someone quickly becoming stronger and much more able to stand up for himself instead of whimpering away.

sunnysuraj says...

Both have interesting mega-powerful male leads whose personalities seem not to match their level of power. My Hero Academia has more focus on character growth and themes of struggling to fit in during adolescence, while One-Punch Man is just a lighthearted comedy with not much heaviness at all. 

Jdogtoocool says...

Agreed. Both shows are awesome super hero based anime that actually share a lot of similarities, One Punch Man is more Seinen/Gore/Adult Themes while My Hero Academia is for the younger audience with fun Lesson of the Day episodes, both are very explosive and entertaining anime

xsurrealism says...

Both animes contain the theme of superheroes fighting villains, along with awesome animation and character designs that aren't extremely common.

However, if you like animes where the main character is overpowered all the way because you are allergic to weakness, watch OPM and not My Hero Academia.

On the other hand, if you can't stand animes where the main character rekts every person they fight because that leads to predictable results, don't watch OPM, watch my Hero Academia.

One Punch Man is all about the comedy whereas My Hero Academia is about the struggles the MC goes through in order to achieve growth.

Both animes made me tear up; OPM because I laughed too hard and My Hero Academia because of some rather emotional moments (':

Jarubakit says...

I just want to agree on this recommendation to help out. Now I'm just filling up hundred characters.

fawkingdun says...

ACTION ACTION ACTION and OP main character but there's a twist to his power and it has a lovable cast (kind of)

Hutai says...

Both anime have a world where humans and monsters live in same society.Both have heroes fighting monstersBot anime are light, but have lots of action and sometimes are funny.

Lizardbitch says...

Ridiculous scenarios during fights, likeable characters, superheroes and super hero powers, heroes in the normal world, and both funny moments as well as supposedly serious moments that you just can't help but laugh at, plus the main hero is... interesting... looking.

IndyGamer says...

The worlds are very similar. Also, the main character in One Punch Man, Saitama, has a power that seems remarkably similar to All Might's. Except Saitama can literally beat anything with one punch. The animation in both is great, and both of the shows are "fully aware of themselves" in how they portray heroes.

syirayukii says...

Laird says...

In one-punch man, we see a guy who are already the stongest, while in my hero academia we see a guy who tries to be the stongest

Plus they both have the hero orgination

Slayers says...

Both anime involve a hero agency that is tasked with protecting the world from monsters that are trying to destroy the Earth.

Shadow22m says...

Both are hilarious anime centered around a powerful main character. One Punch Man too powerful for his own good. My Hero Academia he's getting there.

BJJShutIn says...

Both are superhero anime containing unique, fun characters. They also both contain action and comedy. Both are highly rated and popular and would probably be watched mostly by young boys.

negigo says...

Both are fun super hero shows in similar worlds.

                                                                                                                   

Solidwolf says...

Two of my fav anime, both are very similar, and easy to get into. -Both give similar, but different looks into a society created by the introduction of powered heroes/villains

-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.

Recommend trying if you like superhero related movies/shows, looking for beginner anime, want an anime that is funny but not completely a comedy

LadyPsychic says...

Both series take place in a world full of superheroes.  Both have a large cast of charcters.  Finally, both have plenty of comedy scenes, but also lots of awesome action scenes.  

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series feature a world in which superheroes are pretty commonplace and there's even organisations out there for them. They both have kinda similar senses of humour as well, and frankly they're both just awesome.

RoyalOss says...

If you like hero based stories with lots of action, humour and great animation you can't go wrong with either My Hero Academia or One-Punch Man.

Where One-Punch Man focusses on an overpowered hero, My Hero Academia instead focusses on a student receiving an overpowered superpower.

Saatout says...

 My Hero Academia: The episodes get straight to the point. They are action packed and you really get a feel for each character and his or her motives and aspirations. The clash of shared desires to become the number one hero, coupled with the various similar and varying reasons for this, make for an epic viewing experience.

One-Punch Man: there is just one number one and he is awesome. Much like  My Hero Academia each episode is fast paced but not at the expense of you not being able to follow the motives of the characters. The episodes are hilarious and epic all in one. 

the visual styles of both anime are also very appealing.

charschemer says...

I like actions and characters with superpowers. Animes have a lesson that actually reflect in real life

serumie says...

they're both hero orientated shows with some light-hearted comedy although hero aca has a better storyline

drizzy999 says...

Both fun modern battle shounens that are self aware of what they are, have funny characters and great battles. Both are set in a world where heroes are a thing, and there's a rank of heroes.

While One Punch Man is more of a parody and My Hero Academia is a show with a plot that takes itself more seriously, I think they share the same crowd.

christoferho19 says...

Both telling about a world where Heroes are real, have an organization that act like it's government and Heroes are a general job.

Both are great anime, but One punch man currently just have 1 season and it's only 1 cour and My Hero Academia ( Boku no Hero Academia) already have 3 season.

One punch Man season 2 already confirmed and Boku no Hero Academia to will have a movie and season 4 confirmed.

Both are great Anime, but one punch man is more like centered main character and boku no hero academia have many main character like actualy the whole class is the main character.

KarinKim55 says...

Both of them are really funny, full of action, adventure and superheroes. 

In Boku no Hero, it's a world where every have some superpower. But in One-Punch Man, there are just ordinary people. 

Vandoor says...

Both have great comedy one punch in my opinion is more funny, however both are great. Good action

UrmomgayNoU says...

These animes are very alike, as they both portray the role superheroes would have in a realistic society. One showing how an ordinary person would struggle against something much stronger than it is and the other, telling how becoming a hero isn't as easy as in a child's dream

SariPyrite says...

Both these shows subvert common shounen tropes and have plenty of action and humor. If you liked one of these, you'd probably enjoy the other. 

SinfulFlowerChild says...

They both are action packed and filled with characters that you will love! Plus if it wasnt obvious they both involve heros ;)

imhawt says...

Same creator so you'll love it and both are very good to watch especially if you got nothing to watch right now

FriendlyDemon says...

In a world where villains wreak havoc how do humans respond? The answer is simple: superheroes! Though from different perspectives, both anime portray the struggles of the main characters and their response to threats. How should you train? How can you get stronger? What is better: solo or team? You'll have to choose for yourself after you've watched both of them!

madio20 says...

1. Both revolve around superheros
2. Both are really funny
3. Both involve a master-student relationship

cornbreadd says...

its actionfilled and a bit goofy but understands social issues and ques and can impact you in many ways. Its emotional af so if youre looking foor feels aswell these are good choises. 

Rockshadow6 says...

One Punch Man is pretty much the adult humored verison of My Hero Academia. It's kind of like the best abridged anime ever.

JarbonCarbon says...

Both feature superheroes and a main character who enters the hero world. The difference between the two is that the superheroes in one punch man are not so super unlike the heroes in My Hero. And while in One-Punch the main character starts off as an overpowered hero, My Hero explores the growth of the main protagonist.

YXNGCXDILLAC says...

Heroes!! Both are set in universe where agencys full of heroes goes out against villains to protect their loved ones; a bunch of likeable characters and plenty of action

Oppee says...

They are both superhero themed animes and pretty similiar to each other. Both have likable main- and side characters

FalconX578 says...

One Punch Man and My Hero Academia, while extremely different in both art style and plot, setting and characters, both follow the idea of a world where the world is protected by superheroes. With an official system where almost anyone can become a fully-licensed hero, you get to see similarities and differences in the world that our heroes live in. Although these are two completely different shows, they still share themes about what it really means to be a hero, and both shows are enjoyable, so why not stay on the superhero train and give them both a try?

irlydontknow says...

they are much a like, just watch them both.

..................................................................

Musfik1999 says...

A superhero-loving boy without any powers is determined to enroll in a prestigious hero academy and learn what it really means to be a hero. In a world populated with superhumans, the superhero-loving Izuku Midoriya is without power. ... The series focuses on a middle school student Izuku Midoriya, who has no superpowers.

One-Punch Man (Japanese: ワンパンマン, Hepburn: Wanpanman) is a Japanese superhero franchise created by the artist ONE. It tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch but seeks to find a worthy foe after growing bored by a lack of challenge due to his overwhelming strength.

GhettoPilates says...

Both Shounen anime with explosive animation and unique takes on the superhero genre.  I've been a little disappointed in One Punch Man given what it seemed capable of after the first episode, but as long as you're not expecting something life changing, you'll probably at least enjoy the first season.

Wholesomebias says...

Bc it is but the fandom of bnha is :/ ojhyrdfhuu7njiytrvbjiurdvhuiojhyrdfhuu7njiytrvbjiurdvhuiojhyrdfhuu7njiytrvbjiurdvhui

KOKUL says...

After all, My hero academia also has superheroes with ranks and all that STUFF with "quirk" replacing the power

And it amps up all the stuff in One punch man with bringing in Hero Highschool, tear dropping moments and splendid animation on par with One punch. 

BeybladeRequiem says...

They both have superhero themes and elements of comedy - the main difference is that One Punch Man is basically a parody of superhero shows where the main character can win any fight, whereas My Hero Academia takes the premise more seriously and focuses more heavily on the main character improving and controlling his power.

Josle says...

Max4444 says...

In both anime almost everyone has superpowers, and the main characters want to be heroes. The story is different, but the worlds are very similar.

hydrokyu says...

My Hero Academia: During important fights, its already clear who is stronger but they take advantage of what they have.One-Punch Man: You know the strongest but the anime is filled with funny moments.

MrSplashMaan says...

both very similar but obviously opm is far superior, both have hero and villan associations, they both deal ranking heros good, mha stole and copied both a scene from opm and a character in a hero killer but is still no better.

SnipedSkull says...

My Hero Academia and One Punch Man are both fun to watch and have similar genre. If you like funny and superpower genre then they are cool to watch.

Isxdrxp says...

My Hero Academia and One-Punch Man are the perfect match in you like one you will most def like the other some ways they are simalier is the hero association and UA another is Saitama and Deku [Main charaters] Both start out weak and get hella power and have pretty good character dev also the side characters are amazing.

BlkAngle says...

Their story is completely different, but their common factors include the existence of heroes and the teacher-student relationship between the strongest and the character who wants to be the best. In One Punch man, the main character is the best and no one can compare with him, and his student wants to be the best, and there is no special and unique rivalry between his student and another special character. But in my hero academy, the main character is the student of the best hero and he starts from zero and at the same time he has a special and some rival and his progress is well shown.

ToeBeans405 says...

Both center on a world filled with a variety of heroes and villains, as well as featuring a main character with incredible power.

SaggyBallsack says...

If you like superhero anime, you'll like either of these. MHA isn't a comedy, but still shares enough similarities to interest the same demographic

Godsp33d25 says...

superheroes are great i don't know what else to say i don't need one-hundred characters to tell you that

Natashi69 says...

dwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

spokaneatitsbest says...

Like One Punch Man, Saiki K is a very overpowered character who doesn't care too much about anything, and wants to just have a normal life  

Llamamoe says...

Both shows are an interesting spin on the "overpowered protagonist" premise, perhaps with Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan taking the better approach, since Saiki treats his powers way more casually, while striving to live a normal life, where OPM has a sizeable "big bad of the week" syndrome.

wassimfh11 says...

Both of these pieces of art were both satirical in their own ways. One-Punch Man is a well made satire about fighter animes while The disasrous life of Saiki K. is also a satirical piece about slice of life highschool animes. If you liked one you will definetly like the other

GrandfatherClock says...

theyre both parody shows with ridiculously op main characters who get kinda bored of their powers. One punch man is more actiony and saiki is more of a school life show, but in general if you liked one you will like the other

meowsayo says...

The quirky random humor. Recommend SaikiK to anyone who also enjoyed GinTama! This is a fast pace hilarity.

KaiiKusumaki says...

I'm a bit tired so I'll keep it short-

Saiki and Saitama are both super powerful and only a few people know how powerful they are. Even though they are described as OP, both the animes focus more on comedy. Ofcourse, they're also both funny.

JarbonCarbon says...

Both feature an overpowered main character. The difference in the shows is the way they differ in using their abilities and that difference can be entertaining. They are also both extremely funny and if you liked One Punch Man's comedy your sure to enjoy Saiki's

ShiranaiSan says...

Punch Man and Saiki are similar as to they feature a very strong main character. But just like in the both of them, the lead is just trying to live a very ordinary life. Saiki doesn't have the action of Punch Man, but contains a lot of very funny jokes in the same nature of the series. While Punch Man is outstanding in both jokes and it's action sequences.

FriendlyDemon says...

Does great power come with great responsibility? Watch both anime to see how the main characters deal with their OP powers and how they're just trying to live an ordinary life.

SuwaDeservedBetter says...

They both include hilariously op-ed protagonists. The comedy of both shows is extremely dry. 

d1abolical says...

One Punch Man and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K are very similar. They both feature an overpowered main character and are both parody/satire anime. The humor in both shows is very similar, especially in their take on overpowered characters and anime in general. They're both incredibly fun and hilarious to watch. If you like one, you'll likely enjoy the other. 

DarwinsGame says...

Both main characters are generally disinterested but extremely powerful, leading to all sorts of drama and ridiculous predicaments. 

WackyBats says...

I Think that if you like One Punch Man you would be entertained by Disastrous Life of Saiki too. They are both focused on a way too over powered main charater who find themselves in difficult situations. Though Saiki might be found at a highschool setting and One punch man fighting crime on the street, I still found them simular because they were both goofy and entertaining. If you watch one of these you'll be in for a laugh!

Katfee says...

Both include overpowered characters who don’t see it as same great thing and just go through their daily lives 

Gray0 says...

The characters are very similar in way that you will be used to so it very enjoy able. The powers of the characters is also a factor that make it a good recommendation

SKR21 says...

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is a slice-of-life comedy anime just like One-Punch Man that both have (OP) overpowered protagonists who's bored by their own omnipotence. Both protagonist have dull expressionless face, you wouldn’t expect that they’re gifted and strong individuals, and that makes them really amazing. You will also see the 'comedy in the face of danger', as both gifted heroes face similar dilemmas and handle them in often comedic ways.

One-Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch but seeks to find a worthy foe after growing bored by a lack of challenge due to his overwhelming strength. While in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. instead of superheroes, it explores the realm of psychokinesis. Kusuo Saiki, the young gifted psychic, wants to live a normal life, but his powers keep attracting one oddball character after another.

biglittleorme says...

Both Anime's feature an evidently overpowered protagonist that is going through life with little to no passion. They have no hope of finding someone close to their level. Whilst One Punch tends to focus more on the amazing cinematography and well-drawn fight scenes S.K leans to the more comedic side of things that One Punch skims along with.

With both anime's the secondary characters are the bread and butter with both shows having wacky and interesting characters to put our main character into action.

feathertail38 says...

These are both comedy series poking fun at the usual tropes of the their respective genres, and I personally think they are both funny

Ashdeem says...

same energy jfeiwohfwrhgu;rwhguhwui;ighwrhgui;wrhgkjwi;ghjir;wghjkk;wrhguj;rwhgi;wrhjgkk;rwhjig;hwrjkghwrhguwwg

CrowsHeather says...

Similar to One Punch Man, Saiki is OP mc but doesn't focus on story. More of a comedy and different situations that he'd use his powers. If your not looking for something more involved like My Hero Academia, or makes you feel things like Hunter x Hunter, Saiki's your deal.

sweetSword says...

Both animes portray a super strong character who is bored of this bland world and nothing seems exciting to them. Both shows are of comedy genre but you'll find the comedy element more in The Disastrous life of Saiki K, and the action element more in One Punch Man. However One punch man follows a storyline, TDLSK is a kind of gag anime i.e, you can watch it anytime to refresh your mind.

MyHomeworkCanWait says...

Both series have similar comedy and character vibes. Both MC's of the series just don't give a shit about how OP they are. 😂 

Kaiten456 says...

Both follow the lives of over powered protagonists while one punch man mostly an action shounen, The disastrous life of Saiki K is more of a slice of life. Both are very light hearted in some scenes while one punch man does have some heavier scenes, which of course, is because it is an action shounen. I'd recommend both of these bidirectionally if you want to give them a watch

tyr says...

Both share the same dry flippant sense of humour with an overpowered protagonist just trying to get by in life.

mikhamar005 says...

Hosestly both are wholesome and amazing. Very instresting but also always wants people to watch even more from them.

Twukaj says...

Deadpan, over the top, op protagonist who just wants to get through the day, but surrounded by whack friends.

Shinobibruh says...

hmm makes sense but the one punch man antagonists are alien gods or maniacal scientists meanwhile saiki k has no dire situation tho there are similarities

azarathmz1 says...

Really powerful guys who want to get through the day and sleep. A lot of comedy in between and saving the world. Both really worth watching. They may become your comfort anime. 

MoonDassy says...

Both animes have strong MCs and comedy that focuses around these MCs wanting to live their life normally.

complicatedfish says...

Both of the protaganists are over-powered. Both shows are also comedic. The protaganists also have a similar goal: world peace.

Rexrick says...

Both anime have a lot of dry, but good humor. If you enjoyed watching one of these pieces I would defenitely recommend u enjoy the other.

Jaxybobaxy says...

Both offer witty commentary on classic anime tropes by following a protagonist who is too powerful and doesn't want to be.

UnMinded says...

I won't make this too long, even though because of the fucking 100 words limit, but if you like both or one, then watch the other, respectively. Now, if you have watched both, I would highly suggest the ogs; Overlord, Reincarnated as a Slime, I'm Quitting Heroing, and lastly arifureta. 

NolansWitch says...

Both funny af man. I love the animation to.

Saiki is just a trip man. I be laughing at the sacrcastic stuff he be saying man.

PSNick says...

Same author and sense of humor. Both main characters are overpowered but pretty modest in their way of using their powers; not looking for fame.

lamarchick says...

Both Shows Have main Characters with Superpowers, and they both have them using there superpowers to go after one specific person or group

blchris says...

they are both about an overpowered main character and humoristic.

When saitama is looking for someone to fight ,mob wish he never have to use his powers

Malcom13Blossom says...

Both animes are made by the same company under the same man who wrote the original comics. The stories of struggling powerhouses is one of my favorite genres.

NuclearPasta says...

Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man are both great shows for different reasons. If you like One Punch Man for it's comedic deconstruction of superheroes but wish for something more characterizations and stories then look no further than Mob Psycho 100.If you liked Mob Psycho 100 for it's characters and superpowers, but really wanted more fights then One Punch Man is the show for you.

MokraMrkva says...

Very entertaining. Both feature an overpowered main character that are oblivious or indifferent.

Taybella99 says...

Both anime give off the same feeling. They are by the same creator and studio, but they also both have overpowered main characters who are underestimated by everyone. 

BottlecapsMedia says...

i dont know how this hasent showed up as a recomendation , first off they are done by the same studio , studio mad house , 2nd off the main charcters are both over powered , ok gon in hxh is not super over powered and he has room to grow but often it is said for his age hes talented , the worlds are very simmillar both take place in what seems to be an alternative universe earth with people who have crazy powers and each person has a story to how they delvped or came into their own powers even if you dont get to see their storys you sence that every one is vastly different and thats a strong point in both shows , the hero socitey reminds alot of the hunter socitey , and genos and killua are simmilar charcters in personality and talent 

nafeayoite says...

If you liked One-Punch Man watch  Hunter x Hunter (2011)

NeverThatBored says...

These anime have a lot of things in common. The art style, the variety in character design, the idea of an organization that regulates fighters, the types of characters with different powers, to name a few. If you like one, you'll probably enjoy the other.

Hunter x Hunter is much longer and has more of a plot, but they both have similar tones and a similar mix of humor and seriousness. 

Anime0Is0Life says...

I love both of these anime, they are about fighting inhuman creatures and saving the world with inhuman powers that somehow appear

JonnySQ says...

The way the characters are constructed and the easy-going but still thrilling action packed episodes really complement each other. Both have very simliar attributes in fighting, where moves are original to the character, and each character has a vibrant and energetic atmosphere to them.

triatath says...

This observation might not immediatly be apparent, however the idea of having extremely powerful characters mixed in with comedy and action is present in both of the series. Hunter x Hunter provides more of a build up with more story and suspense however One Punch Man will never cease to make you laugh.

Franzi says...

I've only watched the first episode of Sakamoto so far (since that's all that's out right now) but it definetely gives off a one punch man feel to it. The kind of guy who's really over powered or can do just about anything. The comedy is really similar as well since it's over the top and exaggerated. If you like either one of them then you should definetely check out the other!

ilay says...

one is an action oriented the other one is school life... but both are ridiculous and over the top enough to make you laugh :)

hotspot says...

Both anime involve the titular character who exceed incredibly well at a specific task, for Saitama, it's defeating enemies with one punch... for Sakamoto, he is just overall good at everything and is always prepared. Some characters in both shows are always impressed at how well the protaganist is at everything... The other factor is the ridiculous antics the hero gets himself into, but at the end of they day he will always succeed, because he is just magically talented at it to the point that he could never lose and no one can ever beat them. 

Both shows have the same vibe of ridiculousness to them.

hummdedum says...

They're both great comedies. They also share similar styles of art and humor.                                                                                                                                                           .

BJJShutIn says...

Both main characters are overpowered in their own ways and overcome seemingly impossible circumstances.

AnnaSartin says...

You might wonder what a comedy about a high school perfectionist and a superhero parody show have in common. The simple answer is that neither one of them can ever lose. The fun of the show isn't wondering if they will win, it's figuring out when and how their humorous victories will be accomplished.

Akkun says...

What I like in One-Punch Man so far the most is that it resembles humour of Gintama. So if you liked Gintama style of comedy, you will also dig One-Punch Man and vice versa :3

dezzi says...

Well what can I say... they're both gag animes that have a great sense of humor with nice action scenes, but are not your run-off-the-mill comedy anime.

Soltine says...

Through out each episode of One Punch Man I felt such a massive Gintama vibe that I found my self searching each scene for a pair of glasses.

Seriously though OPM and Gintama each share a love of the absured. Gags mixed with heart wrenching moments and insane fights simply leading to (one ) punchline.

BJJShutIn says...

Both main characters have funny, characters who tend to say and do things they probably shouldn't in ridiculous and dangerous situations.

Halex says...

Both have the same type of sarcastic humor with excellent graphics that go beyond a regular comedy will do. Also, in both shows, the main protagonist rarely ever gets the praise they deserve.

ccallstar111 says...

Both shows have a unique (and sort of ridiculous) theme. In The Devil is a Part Timer!, Satan works at a fast food restaurant. In One Punch Man, a man becomes a hero for fun and becomes too strong and gets bored of it. Both are absolutely hilarious, with some action thrown in. The jokes are never ending from the get go. If you like action-comedy, you will like both The Devil is a Part Timer! and One Punch Man.

Brightstar says...

Both shows are amazing, hilarious, and a must-watch. Take what you know about heros or angels/demons and throw them away.

eunice222 says...

umm ...it would seem that both the animes have almost same character as in One Punch Man - Saitama being the main hero and in The Devil Is a part time - Sadao Maou ( Dark Lord ) ..they both are funny and clever at the same time and are too much powerful and till now the Strongest in each anime. It's really an interesting and new seasons will surely come up so whoever is reading this should lift your ass up and go watch it

FullmetalDragon says...

Both are hilarious and completely ridiculous, with some seriously OP characters living normal ish lives. The humour in both is very similar too. 

BJJShutIn says...

Both are hilarious comedys containing lots of action and plenty of colourful characters. Both of the main characters are strange, funny and really powerful.                                           

TheSOSABrigadoona says...

Tights & Masks for every soul! Yes, One-Punch Man is defnetely more violent, but both shows take Superpowers and Superhero character development to the next level.

GrondXIII says...

Both are anime set in worlds where Super Heros have been integrated into society. In One Punch Man, heros are registered and paid through donations. In Tiger & Bunny, heros have sponsors and advertisers who financially back them and cover the costs of inevitable damages.

Award says...

The same genres: ACTION, COMEDY, SCI FI, SUPERPOWERS.

In both anime:

- superheroes compete with each other and have their own rating;

- the protagonist works in tandem with another hero;

- a lot of superheroes with different powers, who belong to higher or lower leagues;

- shows how heroes integrate in modern society.

animeandwwefanDXXD says...

Both Action Packed Superhero animes, though one punch man more focuses on the main charachter saitma (one punch man) as himself, whereas Tiger and Bunny focuses on a variety of superhero charachters and kotetsu (tiger) and barnaby (bunny) - imo tiger and bunny has better fight scenes and animation, but one punch man is definattely funnier :P

Magicknight94 says...

Basically, both series have absolutely-undefeatable emotionless protagonists. Also, the villains are downgraded dramatically.

TheSOSABrigadoona says...

I may not of liked this show as much as the other fellow, but the main charactes are indeed strikingly similar.

risingstar3110 says...

Romance element aside, the premise of the two shows are similar: the villian is set up to get rekted...
