'One-Punch Man' Season 2 update: The show's set of downright quirky characters is what keeps fans coming back

While most anime fans fall for an anime because of its main character, One-Punch Man stands out from the rest with its set of extremely unique, funny, and weird characters.
UPDATED FEB 7, 2019

One-Punch Man began as a webcomic and has since gained fame as one of the best anime series in recent memory. The anime tells the story of Saitama, who looks to be a hero for fun, and Saitama trains his body so diligently that he becomes strong enough to defeat any enemy with just one punch, hence the title. Saitama's willfully boring approach to life and his quest to find his true purpose is exactly the kind of story that pulls millennials out of their hiding holes, and into the weird world of parody anime.

Although One-Punch Man is not a show to be taken seriously, the show uses some really cutting-edge animation in their fight sequences, which forces the viewer to sit up and take notice. The show's action scenes are simply out of this world, and surprisingly also help balance out the humor of the show, which is another reason why you must watch it, apart from their many weird, but lovable characters. In fact, here's a list of the characters who really tickled our funny bones and can offer you a good laugh.
