Meanwhile, week to week, fans voted "One Punch Man" as either one or two.
For those not familiar with the "One Punch Man," it was originally a manga series created by ONE online then adapted to for print by Yuusuke Murata. it is currently being licensed by Viz Media, who is also streaming the anime adaptation outside of Japan.
Viz Media describes the story of the "One Punch Man" anime as follows:
"Saitama only became a hero for fun, but after three years of "special" training, he finds that he can beat even the mightiest opponents with a single punch. Though he faces new enemies every day, it turns out being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. Can a hero be too strong?"
