Some Info:

One-Punch Man's first season aired in Japan between October 5, 2015 and December 21, 2015 All 12 episodes are currently streaming on Hulu Published and Licensed by VIZ Media Manga (currently ongoing) One Punch Man doesn't need big breasted girls, multi-episode / season-wide battles with a single enemy, giant robots or even suspense. It's a great anime without the annoying anime clichés and for that reason... was very refreshing to watch.

Saitama, unlike other anime protagonists, doesn't really give a damn. He's not trying to change the world or get some girl. He's not flashy and his hair never even changes colors... he's bald. He's indifferent and not particularly motivated. His origin story isn't particularly impressive. And his only conflict is being too damn strong... he defeats all of his foes in one punch.

When I caught wind of this anime about a hero that can defeat all of his foes in a single blow, I though "well that must be boring". Saitama's crisis is more existential, he's a man that can't be challenged One Punch Man may lack traditional suspense in battle, but One Punch Man is unique because the focus isn't really ever on the battle itself. Instead One Punch Man is made interesting with villains like Vaccine Man (an evil incarceration of all the world's pollution, of course), and their satirical plans to take over the Earth and/or make it a better place (like the dude in charge at The House of Evolution). One Punch Man is unpredictable on purpose. It's funny, and has an appropriately cliché cast of supporting heroes competing for rank in The Hero Association. Oh! and... Mumen Rider.

In a nutshell, One Punch Man is a mockery of other anime without being standoffish. While the plot of this anime may be satirical in nature, it is respectfully animated and has an awesome soundtrack in addition to a unique plot. I look forward to more! I also look forward to the New Anime from One-Punch Man's Creator, which will be releasing later this year.
