I don't know about being the best anime ever, but it's definitely at the top of my 2015 list. I can only think of a few shows that struck my interest more than OPM did.

One Punch Man is a parody with the whole plot and character development outlaid in the first episode.

This. Seriously. It honestly astounds me how many people claim to watch a wide collection of anime, and yet seem to miss the whole point of OPM. If you're watching it as a serious shonen action, you're doing it wrong. The entire point of the series is Saitama's struggles with being overpowered, and is largely a parody of shonen cliches.

I also come across a guy calling it the best drawn manga ever, saying it beat Berserk and all.
Pretty funny that in this case it's actually a parody, in almost all ways, even on the drawing.

Don't worry, it's a cool series, I enjoy it, hype will happen, that's how it goes.

I don't think I'd say it's the best drawn manga out there (I personally think Hiro Mashima and Shinobu Ohtaka's manga vie for that crown)...but Murata's manga is very well done, and he's a pretty fantastic artist IMO. Here's a picture he drew of a boatload of Jump characters.

Oh, and Saitama is overrated too. He doesn't even beat Lord Boros in One Punch. How can people pit him up against the likes of Gomulka and Superman?!?!?!?!

I think you might have missed the point of that fight. Saitama didn't use a "serious" punch until the very end; up until that point he was holding back. Boros actually commented on it.

No idea who Gomulka is...but there's a recurring thread type on 4chan that pits Saitama against Goku all the time that I love to read. Mostly because of how stupid the fight is. Saitama's character is literally "stronger than anyone"...so putting him against someone he's largely parodying is just asanine.
