Director Shingo Natsume (Space Dandy, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos) and Mad House's TV anime adaptation of ONE and Yūsuke Murata's manga premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo and Niconico Live on Sunday, October 4 at 25:05 (effectively, Monday, October 5 at 1:05 a.m.). Viz Media and Daisuki are both streaming the series outside of Japan.
The original manga's story revolves around the titular super hero who has trained so hard that his hair has fallen out, and who can overcome any enemy with one punch. However, because he is so strong, he has become bored and frustrated with winning all his battles so easily.
