For much of the world's anime-viewing population, little exists to match the hype and iconic status of the Dragon Ball franchise. After all, Akira Toriyama's creation shaped the future of shonen as fans knew it, mixing humor and spectacular battles between its heroes and increasingly outlandish nemeses. But even with the franchise's pinnacle in Dragon Ball Z concluding in 1996, over 19 years later, the Madhouse adaptation of One-Punch Man captured the spectacle of Toriyama's franchise at its height, mixing in a healthy amount of its own genre parodies. The downside is, even future One-Punch Man seasons would fail to meet the legacy of season 1.
