One-Punch Man

But then I go "Wait, everything in this series ends up being a joke, so that's going to be a joke too."

See, that´s the problem: Everything is NOT a joke ... except for Saitama. All the characters, all the villains, everything around him behaves and acts like a serious, typical shounen anime. And, to be exact, even Saitama fits well into this serious context. A problem only arise when you refuse to explain his powers. That´s where it all crumbles and you have to apply the "pure comedy anime" label to make it all work.

People here can keep insulting me all they want, it doesn´t change the above fact. It is only ONE aspect in this anime that forces it to be called "comedy". If we had a logical explanation for Saitama´s powers, there´d be no reason not to take it all serious. And I´d personally prefer that, because a serious shounen-series doesn´t exclude comedy or portions of parody.
