Those who are not reading the manga series of "One-Punch Man," here is some information about this new anime series. The manga has been a massive success, so that explains why it is getting an anime adaptation. It is an action-comedy anime series that revolves mainly on the life of this young man named Saitama who is out to look for an opponent who could match his skills.
Perhaps, it is safe to say that he is actually bored by his ordinary life, that he is actually looking for trouble, or challenging opponents by simply screaming "Average" with a "lifeless expression, to his bald head, to his unimpressive physique." The thing is whenever he "finds a promising candidate he beats the snot out of them in one punch."
"One-Punch Man" premiers in Japan on October 6. But this anime series will also be available in North America via Viz Media
