Mob Psycho 100

I started this anime going in completely blind after getting my dose of OPM - after watching the first few minutes of the first episode, I was hooked. The use of different mediums of animation techniques both in traditional cell animation and WC distortion blew me away as an animator myself. Recommended this series to my brother whom doesn't resonate with anime as much as myself and he absolutely loved it too!

The slapstick humour can be a bit obnoxious at times but I see it as part of PM100s charm.. the animation fits it perfectly and it just makes it stand out from every other AAA anime out right now. My new favourite thing. ONE/BONE Studios is proving to be an outstanding competitor(s) in the anime "game of thrones".

It's a shame that this show was overshadowed by Yuri On Ice back in 2016 when it came out, because this show is fantastic! The animation is creative and good quality, the soundtrack is one of my favorites out of any media, the characters are well developed, the pacing is good, and it's a relatable story line without just being about a crush in high school. ONE's stories are always told well in a creative way, and his trademark overpowered characters are handled really well. Mob Psycho also presents a good message that a lot of anime with OP characters tend to mess up; that your powers/skills don't make you any better than anyone else. Mob at a young age is told that psychic powers are the same as having any other talent or skill, like being good at math or sports. This is refreshing as a lot of main characters are constantly being told that they're special in some way, good or bad, because of their powers. Another refreshing part of the story is that kids actually ask adults for help, and the adults help them. It may sound stupid, but think of how many shows have a plot line where the adults: A. don't understand, B. aren't told anything, or C. refuse to help for no reason. Probably a lot, right? Mob Psycho has actual RESPONSIBLE adults in it. Revolutionary. These are just a few of the nice changes from the norm to come out of Mob Psycho 100, but there are plenty more and I'd highly suggest watching it!

I've never felt the need to write a review before. However, I was shocked at how low this series has been ranked. As someone who loved One Punch Man and feels it deserves its high ranking, let me tell you that Mob Psycho 100 is a superior anime.

I can sum up why Mob Psycho 100 is better in one phrase; it's more relatable. Mob is a socially awkward kid with no talents, popularity, or interesting qualities other than his immense psychic powers. In order to have a fulfilling life, he has to force himself down the hard road to becoming a better person. All the while meeting people who have let power turn themselves into empty husks.

The animation while not as highly detailed as One Punch Man, was incredibly creative and expressive, spanning a half a dozen different mediums. There were no dull boring still scenes in this anime.

One is one of the best writers of our time! He gave us not one, but two action packed and hilarious comedies with a lot of heart and emotion. But between this and OPM, I would definitely prefer this! A great history with some of the best characters the anime industry has to offer (Specially Shigero Kageyama or Mob) and all packed into a anime with THE BEST 2D ANIMATION OF ALL TIME (And that includes movies like The Lion King and Prince of Egypt) and a great soundtrack and we have a anime giant! A must watch if you like action and/or comedic shows!

This is honestly one of the best anime shows that has 2 great openings, 2 great season's and includes the best voice actors (I watched both sub and dub versions).

For those who never heard of this show before or is a fan of the superpower genre, get watching this like truly.........It's freaking epic man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
