If you're here and you're wondering if you should watch this anime, please do. I can't emphasize this enough. I can't believe it took me so long to watch it. Just do it. You won't regret it
I had no expectations towards this series and I was so glad to be surprised. The story is amazing. Very funny and interesting. Best master ever. I really like One Punch Man, but I'll have to agree that this is better. After seeing Mob Psycho, it's very clear the author was taking this one to heart and One Punch Man was just something to have fun with. This is serious writing, even if the show is kind silly. I hope he can keep both series going. This one is a treat to people who like well crafted stories.
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!
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!
Get ready to be inspired, mesmerised and thoroughly entertained by the most visually and musically satisfying show that's not only gonna tickle your funny bone but make you fall in love with the extraordinarily ordinary leading character Mob, who is relatable on so many levels. If you're looking to laugh your ass off and not be able to take your eyes off of the screen and be unable to switch off an infectious intro and outro from playing in your head, this show is for YOU.
