Mob Psycho 100 (2016)
Who knew that those Youtube videos of fights would be literally the best bits of the whole show. This has to be one of the most overrated 5/10 shows I have seen in a long time. It's just an Isekai without leaving the world, so yes not an Isekai but still the overpowered main, with average friends and people trying to contain him. You do get rage and overpowered moments but then it tries to be funny which the show isn't by making it all comical.
The story tries to be a slice of life but misses out on most of the life aspects. It tries to be funny and yet I never laughed. It tries to be full of action but then it is such a small portion of the show and then it has supernatural, yes it does just average in the way it does though. The story itself is pretty dull and it…

Story
The story seems like something an elementary school student came up. It does not have too much if any depth, however it is very imaginative. If this series could be described as anything, it would be outlandish. Even though, there are more outlandish animes with more interesting concepts. The plot was super run of the mill and the story really lacked tension.
Art
The animation is slick and the art style is unique if anything
Sound Opening is pretty neat, nothing else memorable
Character
Paper thin characters. I did not find anyone interesting other than Reigen. I was not invested into the characters
Enjoyment
If you want to turn off your brain to watch a silly show, then there are better options. I kinda stopped caring during some episodes and sometimes I fell asleep. There a…

Extremely overrated show pushed by the mob psychos on the internet. Think super generic esper anime with a comically overpowered protagonist with no brain and drawn with the same hideous art style the guy who created One Punch Man is known for. It's pretty much the case of the underdog supporters going way too far. At least One Punch Man didn't have the obscene amounts of preaching about nonviolence and self-denial that this show drones on about yet immediately contradicts every episode. Saitama would just stand there and get pummeled for ten minutes to burn time and feel something while Mob from Mob Psycho 100 will stand there and get pummeled for ten minutes because his sensei taught him to be a literal pacifist, both lame schticks to draw out a fight that would have ended in two seconds…

(spoiler-free review)
Mob Psycho was a show I really wanted to enjoy. After I heard about it from one of my friends, I searched it up to see if it would be worth my time. Everyone had great things to say about it, and some even went as far as to say it was the greatest anime of all time. This, however, was not the case for me.
Firstly, I'd like to talk about the positive traits of this show because although I didn't enjoy the series that much, there are still a few things I enjoyed.
Art/Animation:
Let me say this: Mob Psycho 100 has the most ridiculous, in your face, outright crazy art style, but that's what makes it so great. Right after seeing the first frame, I was instantly turned off from the strange and wacky animation, but later on, it really grew on me. It works really well w…

ONE’s superpower to decorate trite truths with intricate details is as astounding as his ability to create identical all mighty protagonists. For half of the story he manages to deceive me into rumination about how complex is the coming-of-age problems of Shigeo are, how delicate and colourable the plot about his brother, and how surprisingly peaceful the anime about psychics is. Yet you can not swim against the (main)stream forever, ONE or not, eventually the boat of goodness will pick you up, exhausted, and carry you into explored waters of templates, banality and infantilism. That is the resolution of the deceptive beginning but, actually, who cares about philosophy? All you need is lov… khe-khe... battles. Late on the arrival, final episodes reveal the true genre of Mob Physho 100: shō…

I take in consideration that Mob Psycho 100 might just not be my thing although I loved One Punch Man from the same creator, but it's not really good. Maybe it just went over my head. There's this metaphor about people born with psychic powers aka "people who are special" that are greatly advantaged in life, just like our normal world where some people are extremely good at stuff and it advantages them more or less the same way. But they're also still human after all and luck is also a factor, just like real life. I think that's a good idea except you could make a compilation of all those dialogues in 5 minutes top. Twelve episodes is too long and too empty to pass this "theme" along and it just end up feeling like a boring, uninspired, ordinary shounen despite the unique artstyle and imag…

Mob Psycho 100 is based off of a manga by ONE. Yes, the same manga artist behind One Punch Man. The anime came out last year and was brought to us by Bones. Yes, the Soul Eater, Heroman, Wolf's Rain, etc... Studio. So, is this one okay like One Punch Man, better or worse?
Story:
Mob is a young man with psychic powers. His master, Reigen, is a con artist who pretends to have psychic abilities. Together, they get paid to go out and exorcise spirits. Shenanigans ensue and Mob's counter raises towards 100. What will happen when it goes all the way up? Will Mob ever find others like himself? Will he ever discover that his master is a fraud?
The biggest issue with the series is the comedy. A lot of it is either really obvious or just random nonsense. There are very few funny moments to be fo…

Mob Psycho 100 - Wacky, decisive, entertaining, subversive, and occasionally funny. With the constant influx of Shounen anime that pours out of the pores of the industry, you'd expect that a plethora of parodies would release every season. But no, for some reason parody is kind of rare. Even shows marketed as parody, like KonoSuba rarely actually do any substantial and biting parodying. While Mob Psycho doesn't really go the route of being a full-on parody, it does have satirical elements through subversion.
For the most part, it points out the ridiculousness of a lot of similar Shounen action through it's own storytelling. It lampoons through doing someth…

For the people that expect another OPM from this. Don't get your hopes up. This is totally different.
OPM focuses mainly on comedy while Mob Psycho 100 focuses more on the story and characters.
Mob Psycho does have it's comedic moments but it's mainly about the emotions of the main character and what happens around him.
It can't be helped, this will be unjustly compared OPM by people like DOWA who don't understand anything and haven't read the manga to actually make claims that it doesn't have a story.
The story itself is pretty simple on the surface but when you start paying attention to the little things that happen around Mob as the story is mainly about him and his emotions things become significantly more complex.
The fight scenes are fantastic, such beautiful animation.
Not to men…

Wow... trying to come up with a compelling first sentence sure is hard... I'll just take a moment to myself before I start.

Story:
If you're familiar with the original artist, you can basically guess that the story will be good. Mob psycho was no exeption. It doesn't have a clear plotline from the start (Though we do get that later) and has an episodic structure. For me, the story didn't really strike untill episode 6, when we actually get to the ”real” plot.
The story itself is very comical, filled with crazy situations and eastereggs for the audience to pick up. But that's not all the show has to offer, Mob psycho varies very smoothly from those comic situations to the deeper moments, inner dilemmas with the characters and the action sequences that were pu…

When I went into Mob Psycho 100, the only thing I tried to expect was that I'd be watching a good comedy series paired with good action. We all know that One is a competent writer, but I decided that comparing this series' quality to One Punch Man would most likely be unfair. Little did I realize that this series would not only match the quality of One Punch Man, but add the things I felt were missing in it. Now even though I didn't want to compare this series to One Punch Man, I'll be doing a fair bit of that in this review, because I know anybody checking this review will be curious how it looks next to it.
One obviously made the decision when writing Mob Psycho 100 to have this series take itself a little more seriously. Because of this, I feel the characters are a lot more fleshed ou…

Last year, One Punch Man rose to popularity and became of the most mainstream and popular anime of the current decade. However, the mangaka of One Punch Man also had another really good series that not many have heard about, Mob Psycho 100. With an adaptation for ONE’s other series, Mob Psycho 100 was also able to generate a good amount of popularity, due to it living off of One Punch Man’s brand. Though there might be some similarities between the two series, Mob Psycho 100 is quite different One Punch Man in a lot of ways. And it manages to create its own name, rather than relying on the popularity of what its being compared too. Mob Psycho 100 is more original, well-written and thought-provoking than it initially seems.

Living by the shadow of One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100 is probably the best anime that aired this season. People are always complaining about how anime is always the same: boys that can travel back in time, tsundere protagonists or MMORPG worlds.
Mob Psycho 100 tells the story of an overpowered boy who doesn't know he's overpowered. About a boy that doesn't feel special just because he has powers. He instead wants to become more popular and more fitting to other humans.
Story 10/10
I thought MP100 was similar to OPM since the protagonists is an overpowered esper that can deal with almost any evil spirit. But after some episodes, the anime tells you the story of an underdog. A guy who doesn't feel special just because he can defeat spirits. He is a humble boy who wants to be better in ot…

This show is an absolute treat. As many already know, Mob Psycho 100, based on the web manga by ONE, shares many aspects with his One Punch Man series and the subsequent adaptation. However, while OPM is immensely entertaining due to the overwhelming strength of its protagonist, Mob Psycho 100 takes a more refined look at its characters and produces a show that not only reaches but surpasses the heights of its sister series.
Story: 6
Mob's story is nothing too special, and luckily it doesn't need to be. Mob is an awkward, dull, incredibly overpowered esper struggling his way through the social nightmare that is middle school. In the meantime, he works for fraud exorcist-for-hire Reigen (a phenomenal character, but I'll get to that). The story ends up boiling down to Mob demolishing toughe…

First thing is first, don't compare this to One Punch Man, in my opinion the first 2-3 episodes is kinda like a bad copy of OPM truth be told, but afterwards you see what Mob Psycho is all about and that is where you start to love it.
Story - 8.7. I mean, it's really interesting to see how to show develops into a more character focused story and throws away your expectations of what you thought It would be like, even the big plots didn't turn out like you thought.
Art - 9.5. I really loved the art, kinda reminded me of Soul Eater, a very loose and flexibel art-style that makes bad animation not really look that bad, and the parts where the animation shined, you could really tell they put alot of work to it, really well done!
Sound - 8? I didn't really pay much attention to the soundtra…

Mob Psycho 100, one of the best anime ever created by the famous manga artist and author of One Punch Man.
First Episode, the introduction of two important and major characters got the eyes of every viewers. The self-proclaimed Arataka Reigen and Shigeo also known as Mob. The story have mixed with exorcism and plenty of comedies.
Second Episode, you'll laughed when they dress up as a girl student to exterminate and exorcise the ghost who is scaring the girls in their own school. Also the intense fight between Mob and Dimple is very exciting and no one can deny the fact that every viewers were shocked by Mob's hidden ultimate 100% power.
Third Episode, the story goes on Mob who is being forced to join by the Telepathy Club but ended up to join the Body Building Club. You'll laughed as y…

Have you ever watched an anime that had 12 episodes that had very interesting visuals, great characters (and development) and story that was charming in its own nature? No? Well Mob Psycho 100 is right here for you to watch!
Story - 8/10
To be entirely honest, I didn't think much with this series. I was going to skip over it and not even bat an eye at it--why? I heard it was by ONE and even though I enjoyed One Punch Man, it wasn't something I'd rewatch and go after again. I tend to steer away from "stereotypical" shounen series nowadays. I thought this series was going to be the same formula. I was wrong. Yes, the anime starts off slow--yes it appears to be recycled garbage at first. But it really evolves into something very charming.
The premise of this series is pretty simplistic.…

Mob Psycho 100 was LA's favourite anime of Summer 2016 and really it pulled it off, bringing in a two for two for ONE, the creator of One Punch Man, so what made Mob Psycho 100 another great like One Punch Man?, well it's a bit complicated to say the least...let's find out.
Mob Psycho 100 looks at both the stress of the youth, superiority and inferiority complexes and the look at how having powers isn't what is all that is cracked up to be...which is also becoming something of a trend these days like Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan this season to. Mob Psycho 100 all wraps this up under the notion of Kageyama Shigeo (a.k.a. "Mob") voiced by Setsuo Itou who holds his psychic power under check unless he literally explodes it in any manner of varying emotions and trying to find meaning in his ironical…

Funny, whimsical, charming, and oddly enough, thoughtful.
Mob Psycho 100 is another comedic/action endeavor brought to us by author ONE, the mind behind 2015's breakout hit, One Punch Man, and like that success story, this also carries with it his signature flare for cool action set-pieces, theatrical displays of goofball antics, an art presence that's immediately eye-catching, all while being peppered with an obtuse sense of humor that's interwoven to form the finished product. And while it started out in a manner that felt like a subsidiary of its much more recognizable older brother, as it ventured on, it has proven to be more than capable in earning its own identity, deserving of the same level of respect as its predecessor. Where One Punch Man was all about being bullheadedly direct…

There’s probably a million ways to describe Mob Psycho 100. One simple word is just exciting. How can it not be? It’s by the same creator of one of the most talked about shows from 2015, One-Punch Man. As a reader of the source material, I can also firmly say that the show’s trailers and hype is legitimate. Not in the legitimate way that it’s the best anime of the century. It’s more of legitimate excellency that represents classic supernatural entertainment.
Even if you’re unfamiliar ONE’s work, you’ll easily recognize that Mob Psycho 100 isn’t just a show with traditional artwork. The visual follows the manga pretty closely while the action sequences are animated by a famed studio, Bones. Plus, we got director Yuzuru Tachikawa on board as part of the staff. Known for his work such as Dea…
