Shokugeki no Souma, One Punch Man Recommendations
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.
○ Parody animes
○ Action-packed
○ Both MCs don't quite understand how amazing they are at what they do, and have weird motives rather than real ambition
If you love One Punch Man I'm sure a lot of the reason was the hype you felt every time you watched the intro, every time you heard the OST, and every time a fight scene came up. I don't blame you for feeling that hype, One Punch Man is a fantastic show. I consider it to be the second best anime to come out of 2015; second only to Shokugeki no Souma or Food Wars. If you have not watched this show, fix that. Shokugeki no Souma is half-way between being a parody of a Shounen, and actually being a Shounen. It's a Shounen
about food. And trust me, this is the most hyped you will ever get about food, Gordon Ramnsay's everything doesn't even compare. The OST is and the animation in the fight(cooking) scenes is just as amazing as OPM's, with the animation in general being better(if we are including the slice of life parts). I believe the story to be even better than OPM's, as well as the overall hype of the show(I will admit, Shokugeki may have the unfair advantage as it's 24 episodes long). I can honestly tell you that Shokugeki no Souma has the potential to be the best anime you watch for a long time, since I have yet to see a better one. I admit I put Steins;Gate and Cowboy Bebop at about the same level, but I don't consider them to be better or worse per se. I believe Shokugeki no Souma to be one of the best anime to ever grace this world despite its laughable concept and joking nature, and I believe that if you were to watch it there is a good chance you will feel the exact same way.
Now, if you've watched Shokugeki no Souma and haven't seen One Punch Man, where've you been? Even though I don't consider it to be quite on Shokugeki's level, it's still a top tier anime. Easily in the top 10 of 2015 almost regardless of who you ask. I personally consider it to be the second best of 2015, and if you are looking for some more of that hyped feeling after finishing Shokugeki, this is the perfect anime for you. The OST is just as good Shokugeki's and the animation in the fight scenes is just as good as the animation in Shokugeki's cooking scenes. One Punch Man also does not take place in a high school, so you could have a small break from that. Fantastic anime, almost perfect parody of a shounen, and completely worth the re-re-watch.
