Both series have the same sense of humor and absurd, comedic art packed with high amount of action in each episode, portraying how strong the protagonist is compared to the rest of the characters.

Both are hero animes and while One Punch Man is already strong, the character around him are similar to those in Boku no Hero Academia. They both feature a lot of different heroes and their daily struggle. One Punch Man is a little darker in tone and if you want a strong protagonist from the get-go, try saiki kusuo no Ψ-nan or psycho mob 100 !

These are both light hearted comedic shows with similar senses of humour, neither show takes itself too seriously. Both MC's are ridiculously over powered, and decide to focus on the downsides of having such power.

The first thing I thought when watching Overlord, it's very much like One Punch Man. Overlord and One Punch Man got similar style while having different setting. You can tell the anime would be similar as their openings are similar style music. The main characters Momonga/Ainz and Saitama are also extremely strong, but not OP lame, they're strong that you want to see them go in FOR THE KILL !!!!! Dependable heroes.

Both have protagonist with simple mentality that are more strong that the rest of characters, their words have people with powers and the shows are full of comedy.

Where will you go if all your dreams have been fulfilled? That is the question that both series deal with. They don't have a serious plot, just the daily life of a man who is trying to live his life. There are battles and funny moments sometimes. Recommend to people who are looking for some funny anime to watch to add some spice to their life.

The protagonist in both shows is extremely strong. But they don't take the responsibility seriously, and end up talking about regular stuff in the middle of a fight that's supposed to be intense (like shop sales) which leads to comedy in both shows. If you liked the atmosphere in one show, you will most likely like the other show.

A modernised and commercialised / 'business' approach to the concept of superheroes existing in our world. Heroes are ranked based on points awarded AND subtracted for their actions in the line of duty. Public relations - mainly in terms of popularity - is also a factor. Every self-respecting hero needs a fan club, after all! In One Punch Man it is less important since it is more of a cartoonishly over the top series with hero rankings as window dressing, where as in Tiger & Bunny the entire plot is built around 'idol culture' televised heroics. But they are the only two series I have come

Super strong Main characters with some comedy in the mix! Both great shows, i recommend for all!

One punch man has HERO ASSOCIATION, while hunter x hunter has HUNTER ASSOCIATION Both of them tells about character's unique power. 
report Recommended by bradmaster
Protagonist is OP to ridiculous level which brings absurd situations and proper steamrolling of opponents. Sure, one is super hero parody, other is powerfantasy in fantasy setting. Both are kinda cheeky and not taking themselves seriously... and come on, the last battle in Misfit of DK Academy made laught so hard!!! And its comparable to the last fight in OPM in its sheer ridiculousness.

The similarities between these anime are endless. Happy-go-lucky protagonists, evil villains who might aswell have been in the opposite series, their personalities, the humor they share. The series as a whole really remind me of one another and give a very similar vibe.

Neither anime has an story, its a simple plot. They are both overwhelming cool/strong and this is displayed in all its glory to make us laugh. 
report Recommended by bimbambusse
Both shows are filled with relentless action and a lot of comedy moments. The fights are over the top and flashy as possible. Also fights defies any logic or physics laws. The common part of both show is a cast of colorful and meaningful characters. The biggest difference, however, is the amount of fanservice. KLK is full of it, while OPM has it really low.

The everyday lives of tokusatsu heroes and villains, portrayed in semi-parodic tone of the superhero genre. 
report Recommended by kadian1366
Both shows focus on "heroes", they are both light hearted comedies that don't take themselves seriously. Both shows have great sense humour, To Be Hero being slight more crass. They both have good animation, great character designs & amazing OST's. 
report Recommended by JVskunkape
Both follow a very similar plot: the hero is OP. There is even a fairly similar villain in the anime, though I do have to say I feel that both are kind of mainstream in terms of how far anime goes. If you enjoyed one of these anime, you'll probably enjoy the other one.

Both based on original web comics by the same creator ONE. Both have very similar art styles, character designs and senses of humour. Both have received two seasons of anime adaptations. Both see their main character struggle with the excess of their own powers.

Both anime are parody (isekai/ superhero) Both anime have OP main characters Both protagonists are seen as weak by everyone (mob character, background character) Both protagonists are trying to have fun despite finding everything boring.

When you watch a story, you want to see its hero struggle right? But sometimes, there are those stories where the hero fighting isn't the struggle, it's the world around him. Inferno Cop and Saitama never have to worry about losing a fight, but the absurd ways that the world treats them is what drives the humor and wonder of these shows. 
report Recommended by IzzyHime
For the simple comparison in terms of doing an "overpowered" character right. In terms of entertainment, the cast of characters, supporting or main, world and the building of the said world, and story progression, yeah it pretty entertaining. 
report Recommended by Alufei
They are both comedic stories that follow an overpowered "first hero" that has defeated the greatest monsters of the world, leading to the development of a Hero Association to manage heroes that protect the world from evil. These heroes are categorized into letter rankings based on assessments of their power. Our protagonists start off at extremely low ranks despite having overpowered abilities. I'll just say it. Hero's Return (Yingxiong Zai Lin) is pretty much just a donghua (Chinese animation) rip-off of One Punch Man. If you look closely, Saitama even appears as an easter in one of the mob/crowd characters of Hero's Return.

I'm doing this recommendation just because art/animation. These two anime has similar art and they are both shounen. Maybe it's happened because MAPPA has a connection with Madhouse in the past, i don't know. (Valid for OPM season 1 only.)

The protagonist definitely reminded me of Saitama from One Punch Man. Strong but oblivious and nonchalant about his strength and helps other characters along the way who become interested in him due to his strength. 
report Recommended by Aleron
They both have two Hilarious main characters who are both OP and trying to find a more challenging opponent to match up with their skills. Koro Sensei is trying to find a student who can kill buy the time his students graduate and Saitama after realizing he is too strong is getting bored of killing villains with One punch so in the end he is still trying to find a challenging opponent. Both Stories are VERY good and action packed. Also Saitama and Koro-Sensei are both teachers. They're both great shows to watch!

Maximum Humor , Amazing action scene , Nothing too serious to worry about Just Relax Watch Enjoy ,Thats how I see OPM & Gintama , [ although gintama gets serious quiet often ] , Both MCs don't care about what others say and laze around . Both anime have crazy characters [ I mean great characters who are original and have no similar somehow , ( again gintama characters are sometime go beyond crazy .. ) , Watching both of them is Fun

Two main characters that are both extremely overpowered. Other than Saitama, whose journey is literally to find someone who can beat him, Ichigo seems to be one of the quickest Shounen protags in developing his skills. He just seems gifted from the being.

Both anime feature strong protagonists, who have to defeat seemingly invincible enemies who threaten humanity. Both have a lot of over the top action and some comedy.

Both are comedic deconstruction of their said genre, one for Super Hero type anime while the other is for Isekai.

Both are newer titles that have great potential for longevity and made a big impact on the anime community. They both have great humour combined with high intensity action scenes and lovable characters. The character designs and OST's for both shows are incredible. They both have overpowered characters and great villains.

While both shows are very different in terms of story, genres, and setting, the core plot remains the same. Both shows have a protagonist that is viewed upon by most people around them based solely on their social status that was given to them under a sort of ranking system like a review board; which was created with several inadequate fatal flaws that fail to categorize them properly. And yet, everyone blindly accepts that review board as if it was the only one truth, not unlike how many see the Holy Bible; while refusing to see past those previously mentioned flaws and only seeing what

A "normal" guy becomes a hero, with the typical "weird" monsters of the tokusatsu genre and hilarity stemming from ridiculous situations.

They are both parodies of their own genres. Romance or action I think it doesn't matter as they are both hilarious.

Similar MC. Both of the MC's are superior to other characters. The animation is smooth an visuals are gorgeus. Both also have a catchy opening song and great soundtracks.

Both of them are carrying about same premise especially an overpowered main character. Also the main characters have same personality. Worth to watch

Both comedy intensive series with eccentric characters. Both have great characters with lots of varied and really strong character designs. Both have super up beat OSTs & great art styles.

- Both main characters are dull simpletons. - Humor. - Adult themes (not school). - Monster/devil hunting. - Monsters/devils lurk among the city which lead to some destructions. Don't expect it to be very similar. But I find many common points.

Do you like overpowered protagonists? Then look no further! Warning: this show contains muscles that defy logic. 
report Recommended by Luckky_Libby
The similarity of these anime is not on their plot or characters; it is in the quality of their animation. If you enjoyed the fluidity and the awesomeness of either series on your screens then the other is a must watch. Both series will give you greatly animated action scenes that will glue your eyes on the show each episode. Overall, One Punch Man and Kekkai Sensen are action-packed shows set in places filled with weirdness sprinkled with plenty of comedy.  
report Recommended by ALLONA
It has overpowered (in a way) characters that absolutely cannot be beaten (with much confidence in their skills), and lots of humour. 
report Recommended by BrownieFan
Both share the same rare anime theme of superheros, but Zetman takes a darker and more serious perspective on it with a more concrete story. The action is explosive on both ends and the main characters for each don't really care for a lot of things. The anime also share in having enemies that are more on the strange side.

-supernatural -superhuman they both aspire to be become superheros of justice and yeah theres the comedy too worth your time and yeah the action is cool too.

One Punch Man and Hataraku Saibou are story about certain groups that doing their job to save "the world". Immune Cells = Heroes Viruses, Bacterias, etc. = Monsters Both have serious action scenes as well as comedy scenes. In One Punch Man, the story is mostly focused on Saitama, the overpowered hero. While in Hataraku Saibou, it's more like "Hero of the Day". However, the plot is different. Hataraku Saibou is an educational story about how cells work, while One Punch Man is a story about Heroes.

Great action, funny, awesome fight scenes. Overpowerd characters, cool attacks etc. And if you're liking the animation in One piece, try One punch man. In my opinion One punch man has the best animation i've ever seen. One punch man is a much shorter serie, it doesnt have as good as a story as one punch man. Not as great as character development as one piece does. BUT, one piece is one of a kind. No serie out there that I've seen comes near the adventureous and unique story of one piece. So dont try too hard finding a serie that does. Try

Both anime focus on a very strong protagonist, who usually defeats his enemies with ease. They have a lot of action and fights, but also a lot of lighthearted comedic moments. The character design is also somewhat similar, especially the first villain that Saitama faces, who looks like a blue Piccolo.

Both have an Overpowered Main Character and super amazing animation style. I like how they are both solo character and don't show off there true power every 2 seconds

Both parody fighting shonen tropes by featuring an apathetic insanely powerful hero. Senyu focuses on JRPGs, whereas OPM focuses on superheroes.

1. Amazing animation 2. Action 3. Mainstream 4. Great fights 
report Recommended by RagonWest
Both are parodies of shounen battle anime featuring arcs and characters poking fun of stereotypical cliches seen in such anime series. Sexy Commando is mostly pure comedy and gags however, where One Punch Man actually does have somewhat serious action and a stronger focus on fights. Both are hilarious and entertaining. Also, both feature an inexplicably powerful and quirky protagonist that makes the rest of the characters seem laughably incompetent in comparison, even though you root for them anyway.

The main characters Seven and Saitama are very similar they're generally laid back and stupid but serious when they need to be. Both series have the same odd sense of humor. The worlds both involve super powers, advanced technology and fighting villains to make money.

Both Series came from a web novel, both series also have insane OP characters and comedy. Heroes Vs. Monsters? Gods Vs. Demons? Both are always fighting and having some peacetime. 
report Recommended by KatoWorks
As shown in the MHA series before, the "one for all" quirk becomes stronger every time it's passed down. Saitama also known as "the One punch man" probably has that nickname because of his ridiculously strong punches. So this gives me the sentiment of that One punch man is MHA in the future with Saitama having inherited the One for all quirk. If my theory is right, you should at least relate to One punch man if you like MHA. But you can also differentiate the two easily.
