Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
I like to imagine the OP is all the monsters saitama defeated prior to the show start when he was serious and hadn't realized he was too strong, which is why he looks badass as gently caress

I always found the OP to be pretty intentionally cheesy and not very serious at all.

I will friend. Thank you.

I do like how the show goes full anime for 5 minutes where a cyborg talking about justice and revenge fights against a big boobed anime mosqito lady only for our hero to show up and basically say "nope".

I can identify with saitama. gently caress pretentious anime stuff.

Just watch hyper-serious pretentious animes like Jojo (it's a love story in Victorian England and an analysis of Nazi Germany before WW2).

I hear School Days is a good anime to watch. Especially if you like boats.

And for non-pretentious anime, how about giving Evangelion Rebuild 1.11 and 2.22 a try?

I'm not sure I quite follow, but would Hayate the combat butler meet or go against this idea of pretentiousness?

I'd still recommend Jojo even if it's full of batshit crazy nonsense, because it's a very serious adventure story spanning generations about incredibly buff yet fabulous men named after musical artists, bands, and songs. Like Robert E.O. Speedwagon, "Kars," "Esidisi," and a guy just straight up named Vanilla Ice. The show's name is even a reference Beatles song so there you go.

Space Dandy is good and funny and stars a dude in a pompadour.

Ping Pong might get too fuckin' real depending on your tastes but it's, I quote, "incredible." Sports drama might not be your thing though so w/e.

Gintama is ostensibly about samurais and aliens but it's really just a straight up sitcom about a bunch of stupid dudes who get into stupid situations and it's some of the funniest poo poo I've seen. The name of the show is a pun on a Japanese slang word for testicles.

Maybe? Even with its comedy and self-awareness, it's kinda more typical.

Nichijou, FMP Fumoffu, the ever divisive Zvezda, Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun, Barakamon...

There's definitely more good comedies in that vein, but you've probably got a pretty packed list now.

If you wanted more action-y goofyness, Nichijou has better action scenes than most action shows.

Seconding all of these recommendations. Especially Ping Pong, which is phenomenal. I didn't give a single poo poo about sports drama or anything anime going into it, but you really don't need to. It spends very little time on the sport and all the time about the people that play it.
