Why You Should Watch One Punch Man

I started the Netflix series, One Punch Man in 2021 as something to watch when I was bored, and now it’s my favorite anime to return to. It’s about a man named Saitama who gets fired from his job and can see no meaning in life. That all changes when Saitama comes across a little kid being hunted by a villain named Crab Man, and has no choice but to fight to defend him. Saitama was weak and couldn't do much, but it was enough to beat the Crab Man. Ever since that day, Saitama has been working out so much that his hair falls out and it only takes one punch for him to destroy anything in his path.

One Punch Man has so many good characters, like Genos, Mumen Rider, and Silver Fang. They all have good characteristics and would do anything to save people. This series will have you feeling so many emotions  and will constantly keep you on your toes. While it is a shorter series, with only two seasons, it is still one of the best animes out there. I suggest you watch it. 

I give it a 4.5/5 rating. You can watch it on Netflix or any other site that streams anime.
