Want to watch a weird ass good show? Umbrella Academy is as weird as it gets, but pretty good!
Kids with special abilities (powers) grow up.
Fight scenes are done to songs like 'Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows'.
And the one main character is one kid from a pre-teen comedy my son watches, Ricky, Nicky, Dicky and Dawn.
The other kids from that show must be just SHITTING themselves.
One (they weren't given real names), Tom Hopper (Black Sails), is a guy with some gorilla DNA.
Two, can control knives he throws
Three, can control people's minds by saying I Heard A Rumour
Four, a drug addict who communicates with the dead
Five, can jump through space and time
They discover they need to stop the apocalypse...
which they discover THEY cause
while hunted by two time travel assassins...
Weird. ass. show.
Can't wait for next season!

I watched the trailer a couple months ago. Seemed interesting.
From your description I can't help but be reminded of Misfits [wikipedia.org] (the UK version).

Have not seen that!
Will have to see if it's on Netflix.
Currently watching the King Kong movie with John Goodman in it: or not watching it. Americans made a movie showing Americans being as stupid as possible...rah rah, US!
SOOOO bad! It's not even so bad it's good: it's just bad.

Oh yeah, that thing is part of, uhhhhh.... Legendary/Warner's version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MonsterVerse [wikipedia.org]
They can make a good trailer [youtube.com] though. Probably better than the film.

SEE IT! The first season is some seriously hilarious shit. The rest of the seasons are also good but the first is the best.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

I am so bored with everything superpowers but I'm enjoying it as well.
Add another recommendation for Misfits to the list.

Nobody said you had to have your dick in hand from the start of s01e01.

Only a very small (albeit intensely memorable) proportion of anime is lewd.

Well, you also see fan service slipped in where it's relatively unexpected.
But the real issue here is someone who apparently won't watch a single live action show.
