I would have never expected a bald and mildly depressed superhero to teach me so much about the modern Japanese ethos. Normally, I’d reach for a book or treat a friend to a cigar and coffee if I want to learn about a distant culture, not watch anime. But this time, I fell into it. With the gyms still closed and the weather getting a bit nippier, I finally decided to start a show, One Punch Man.
