11. Asobi Asobase
The three students, Honda, Nomura, and the foreigner Olivia are sharing all their high school moments together. The three students met together after playing a silly game of “look-the-other-way” and they quickly befriended each other.

The show is full of action but it is also presented in a hilarious style! The cut scenes and how they casually start fighting each other in an unrealistic way get straight to you.
The fact that Ryuuko’s power mainly comes from a piece of clothes that exposes her skin is funny by itself because many of her enemies claim that she is trying to distract them.

Coming from the same creator as One Punch Man, Mob Psycho talks about a student named Mob and how he assists in discovering ghosts and unnatural beings. Mob has psychic powers that he was able to activate to impress his crush but later discovers it’s very difficult to control.
