Shows that feel likeOne-Punch Man (2015–)

Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of “special” training, though, he’s become so strong that he’s practically invincible. In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch, and it turns out that being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. With his passion for being a hero lost along with his hair, yet still faced with new enemies every day, how much longer can he keep it going?

If you loved One-Punch Man, the closest series we have are Dragon Ball Z Kai (2009), Scissor Seven (2018) and Mob Psycho 100 (2016). All three share One-Punch Man's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Ranma1/2 (2024).
