ANIME         MARK

One Punch Man is an anime that I came across during my endeavour to find an anime that is both fun and thrillingly awesome. That said, I think, after 12 episodes, I can confidently say that it is that...and more! The concept is nice and simple and everything about One Punch Man leaves you wanting more. I don't say these things lightly, but somehow a combination of fun, epic, funny and general awesomeness, has been discovered here.

The story takes place in the fictional metropolis of City Z. Apparently the world is in constant fear of monsters and other horrific creatures on a daily basis. The protagonist, Saitama, Mr One-Punch-Man himself, is an overly powerful hero that defeats monsters with relative ease. After unveiling his 'Hero training regime' to his new disciple Genos, there is still no reasonable explanation for his power. Genos, a cyborg with insane powers himself, is left reeling at how strong his master is. Saitama grows bored with his strength and is constantly searching for opponents that compare to himself. After joining the Heroes Association, Saitama and Genos and are assigned different rankings based on their physical and intellectual competencies. The plot develops as they carry out their tasks of monster destruction and hero growth.
