Mob Psycho 100

Look I understand that anime vs real life could get a bit funky and sometimes it's a winner and sometimes not so much... I found this show to be quite well written, and especially well acted for a japanese (english sub) show.Good actors, laughed in many scenes as it is quite funny and fun to watch.

The troll to be original on an original...

The story of the manga was amazing. The character development was fluid and correct. The insane drawing style was in a league of it's own, paired with an awesome introduction arc. Not a whole lot in this world is perfect, but Mob Psycho 100 comes very close. I, for one, can't wait to see what season 2 will bring us.

On to the point of the review. To be honest, I am never a fan of a life adaption of any game or anime/cartoon. There are some OK ones (NO WAY), some mediocre ones (Pushing it!), and those that we can't even get passed the first 20 minutes (yes... those ones). Netflix' adaption of the master piece Mob Psycho 100 hangs between the mediocre and the "can't handle the cringe no longer" section. I wish it was good..., I mean, I can handle it if the storyline get's tempered with. I don't care if some relationships are different, BUT... The characters got to stay true to themselves. If they do not, they loose their charm. Which is a huge chunk of what makes a show successful. Why can't these writers just get that they can't have the main character do things he would never ever do in the original. Things so character breaking that you can't continue to watch it anymore. It's just painful at that point.

To those that haven't read the manga or watched the anime. You still got a chance to find out whether it's worth watching on a rainy sunday. To those who read/watched the original: DON'T... Just, don't.

Because it wants to be something else in a parallel universe I can't rate it in a proper way. I just cringe and cringe and cringe.

5 out of 5 for the effort of the anime-like performances.

Despite what other reviewers said, I liked this series.

It's quirky, funny and the over-exaggerated acting suits this genre.

I haven't see using % as a theme in a storyline before so that was cool.

So I gotta say at first it was a bit weird to watch but I guess after the third episode I totally loved it.

Mob Psycho 100 is a great anime and definetly one of my favorites. The idea is great and the different character developments are so fun to watch. My most liked characters are definitely the Muscle Club Guys and Reigen, both are hilarious.

In this Live-action adaption they didn't even try to make this any different from the style the anime is made in. And I think it's great. At first glance I was confused because this Animeish style feels weird when watching a Live-action show. After a couple episodes I totally loved it. It's different and fun to watch and the actors played their own interpretation of the roles great while staying true to the characters shown in the anime.

What I really missed was the great exaggeration of mobs power, in the anime its amazing everytime but in this show it only looks and feels not nearly that good.

All in all I would definitely recommend watching this if you had fun with the anime. But if you didn't watched the anime I recommend doin that it's a blast.

It wasnt like manga or anime they did their own thing and it was cute. It was like power rangers mixed with it. Idk why it was MA no need for it. Acting was suppose to be goofy. Overall good time.
