15 Anime Where The Main Character Is Insanely Overpowered

6 Mins read

Every anime has a different story, universe, rules, etc. so, I think they’re incomparable, but there are some stories where protagonists are gifted with insane psychic abilities, magical power, physical strength, or superpower like no one else. So, I present to you my Top 15 Anime Where The Main Character Is Insanely Overpowered.

The following anime are sorted by my personal preferences. Anime with Super-Fantasy themes are placed higher on the list (#1,#2,#3…), and anime with worlds that are somewhat relatable to our real human world are placed lower on the list (#15, #14, #13…).

Of course, I’ve considered the Overpower-ness of MCs as well, but I took the fantasy theme as the main priority, so you might see some amazing anime like Elfen Lied and One Punch Man lower than some mediocre anime like Problem Children and Isekai Cheat Magician.

This might sound awesome, but, in Kusuo’s experience, superpowers are not all they’re cracked up to be. He tries to live a normal life, despite his annoying abilities. Saiki has a really uncaring character. Saiki has a candy enamel, so he loves candies, in particular espresso Jelly.
