Looking for an overpowered main character who finishes all and any of his problems with punching bad guys in the face? Look no further! Both these shows feature a somewhat similar narrative even if One-Punch Man is set in a somewhat more contemporary setting, whereas Tairiki Taro no Mucha Shugyo has a mythical setting.
A turn-off could be the show's length (2mins compared to 12 full lengths eps) and date of publication of the shows (1928 vs 2015). If you're a sucker for the old stuff, you might not like the modern and polished look of One-Punch Man. Similarly, if you only watch the newer stuff, this older show might not appeal to you much. Production values are probably somewhat lower too.
