One Punch Man is a new anime based on a relatively new manga by the same name. The protagonist is Saitama, a normal guy who decides to quit his day job to become a hero. After following his "extensive" training regime for three years he is now incredibly strong, often beating his opponents with a single punch. The show then follows his story of taking an apprentice and trying to join the Hero Association to be better recognized for his actions. The show is hilarious, the animation is fantastically done, and the characters are awesome. Saitama always manages to get overlooked because of his unassuming appearance and has to constantly fight just to be recognized for what he has done. The whole show is a parody on the standard super hero/anime style. If you can handle subtitles (it is not dubbed in English yet) I highly recommend this show. It's good for laughs and has some intense fighting scenes. There are only 9 episodes as of my posting this so it would not take too long to catch up (more come out every Sunday).
