The entire second season is literally carried by the fact that our previously plain water main character has obtained carbonation and is now spicy. I disliked season 1 but I had nothing better to do and this series was well-received so I thought I might as well finish S2. That being said, I do quite like Mob's growth arc. The writer at the time claimed he 'wanted to main something kind' - this was indeed achieved. Mob's insistence that people can change actually got through my blackened, shriveled, cynical misanthrope's shell. I also appreciate how rather than trying some horrific mash-up of slice of life and a plot, they just went straight with a plot instead. Although, the simplicity of 'here's a narcissistic bad guy who wants to take over the world' is a little dull. For this, I rate th…

This show is, you know, bad. Not gonna spend a lot of time talking about this, I'll try to sum up why it fail in comparison to the first season:
1. Everyone is OP. A lot of the supporting cast and antagonists are as powerful or even more than mob, breaking the premise upon which the first season was built.
2. It's not fun. Season one was fun and didn't take itself seriously. This one tries to be more mature and cuts down on the amount of jokes, it didn't work well. The jokes that do show up come out of place or are too predictable, like reigen's foolish techniques, they overused this device in the first season and when it came up on the second I totally knew what was going to happen
3. All fights are between OP characters that destroy the whole scenario around, boring...
Nah, I wasted my…

Since season 3 is right around the corner, I decided to give an overview of Mob Psycho 100 and what makes it one of the most unique shonen anime around today. If I had to describe Mob Psycho in just one sentence, I would say that it's a shonen that rejects the tropes and teachings of shonen SOO hard that it accidentally became an old school superhero comic. Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama is a genuinely good person who was born with absolutely incredible power, but only wishes to use that power to help other people and make the world a better place. He never has to train like crazy to be the very best. He starts out being the strongest just though his natural genetics. He makes friends throughout the series and greatly values friendships, but he gains friends completely independent of his powers. He…

I came into Mob Psycho with a very open mind, hoping to be amazed by some genius story with amazing characters and great developments. What I received was some underwhelming bullshit about a young boy being manipulated by a degenerate con artist to eliminate these meaningless 'spirits'. Mob for whatever reason has insane innate psychic power, more than everyone else which is never explained and is LITERALLY HORSE! He doesn't want to abuse them or whatever but then just abuses his power for the entire show which was just cringe to watch. Also the antagonist of the show CLAW or whatever is actually so lame it's painful. Terrible show.

It's taken quite a while to sit down and write my thoughts on Mob Psycho 100 II. For the longest time, I've been trapped in this limbo of not wanting to write but never finding anything remotely close to my perspective being represented. It's as if no one has any of the same problems I have with this season, therefore I’ve yet to find someone disappointed in it for any of the same reasons as me. As such, this review is born more out of a place to satisfy myself and bring peace to my perspective than anything I’ve written thus far. Keeping a measured and somewhat informed perspective is still integral to what is being written here, but the fact remains: this was the first of many anime from 2019 to disappoint me.
Let’s get the big positive out of the way. The visuals are some of the best i…

I talked about the first series of Mob Psycho 100 over two years ago. I wasn't planning on going further with it, since I was, to put it charitably, less than impressed with the series. But I do take review requests and someone really wanted to see me look at the follow up. So, here we are.
Story:
In the wake of the last series, Mob has, unbeknownst to himself, become a religious figure. In an attempt at getting him more personality to base his cult around, his school mate, Mezato, pressures him into running for Student council since he might get the attention of that girl he likes. This does not go well. Meanwhile, he's still working with his Master, Reigen to scam people out of jawbreakers and occasionally perform actual exorcisms.
Like the first series, this one has a very dull, un…

Ok, so I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here so before I start this review let me just say that I very much enjoyed the second season of MP II. I rate a 7 due to the fact that it was not as interesting compared to the first season. More specifically, it had a certain charm that stems a lot from the dynamic between Reagan and Mob. Where the first season had an extremely good flow to it, most of the story this season feels more episodic.
I rated the characters a 6 as a result of this. The first several episodes almost perfectly encapsulated the feeling that I got from the characters from the first season. But the second half just failed to land for me as everything quite disconnected as you would have a touching story say about Reagan without Mob and then suddenly right the next episode…

*This review contains light SPOILERS*
WHY I LIKED:
⬤ Character driven plot
⬤ Opening and ending songs
⬤ Top quality dynamic visuals, super smooth animation, Dimple scenes in particular
⬤ Decent situational comedy, unexpected little twists. Not a single dialouge is wasted at least.
⬤ The progressive story of Mob who is slowly becoming a socially acceptable person is actually identical to "worldbuilding"
⬤ Mob Psycho shows how effectively slice of life episodes can be used in order to create foundations of action-heavy episodes. The thin line between fantasy and real life problems is portrayed perfectly, maturely and it makes characters "believable". They have their own causes, motives, pasts and feelings so you can actually tell the weight of every single action, every single punch is doub…

Like you, I was waiting for the unknown entity seen in the "????!!!%" state in Season 1 to somehow be expatiated upon and it wasn't. This season was incredibly unsatisfying and lost it's reputation of breaking tropes and instead made the decision to follow every single Shounen trope. No ground breaking themes or events in this season, sadly.
Every single villain in Mob Psycho's universe starts out with certain convictions and beliefs. Maybe this is a disadvantage the Shounen format has, but I feel the writers really took the worst of the format's issues and exacerbated it beyond belief. Every time a villain shows up, you know for a fact that they are going to end up having a change of heart, or start having immense respect for Mob, specially when Mod reks them. Somehow losing makes the vi…

A few years prior to the 2nd season of Mob Psycho 100, this series was relatively unknown. One Punch Man - once a goofy webcomic drawn in the charmingly childish style of ONE - was masterfully redrawn by the accomplished mangaka Yusuke Murata, and not long after an explosive anime adaptation from Madhouse introduced the world to the works of ONE.
No one saw Mob Psycho 100 coming. Adapted in ONE's style during the height of One Punch Man's popularity, its humble and unapolagetic flair both intrigued and repelled anime fans. But it didn't take long for those paying attention to take notice of the incredible story of ONE and the raw power of Bones' animation unfolding on screen.
And just when most of us were thinking, "how will they top season 1?", we got blindsided again.

What do you mean Mob Psycho 100 got a second season before One Punch Man?!
Anyways, I never actually thought that a second season of an anime could be way better than a first. I absolutly loved the first season of Mob Psycho 100 and just when I thought the second season couldn't be any better, I was completly wrong. This second season is without a doubt outstanding! It's so good that it's worth being my top 10 animes of all times! Even when trying my best to search for flaws in this second season of Mob Psycho 100, I wouldn't be able to find any. It's just visually outstanding and perfect! Every single episode left me aching for more. There just isn't anything worth criticizing in this anime, it's just that damn good. The story was outstanding, the visuals are phenomenal, the sound is mar…

If you are coming back to the second of Mob Psycho to once again experience the series, then I do have great news for you. It's maintained the level of quality it has presented in Season 1 and it has continued to develop on the themes it has been presenting so far. If you were satisfied in the past by Mob Psycho, it is very unlikely that this season of Mob Psycho is gonna be any different. If you're on the opposite side of the spectrum, I haven't seen Mob Psycho change its approach in any way that would cause someone to consider the series any better than they had if they have gotten an initial negative response from it. So if you consider giving the series another shot, there was nothing done to quelch your prior displeasure as everything is consistent.
To go more in depth, the series fo…

If you thought Mob Season 1 was a 10/10 like I did, prepare to view a 20/10. Everything about this season dwarfs the original season. Everything that was good in it has been multiplied to an insane level I never thought was possible. The Art and Animation reach new peaks, the soundtrack and overall sound design totally immerse and treat the ear to a delightful, emotion-evoking experience. The story continues with similar and entirely new themes in an insanely powerful way. The characters continue to evolve and grow while still retaining what we all loved about them. It's truly one of the best anime, or any form of animated media, ever produced.

As is the case with sequels of critically-acclaimed and popular anime, Mob Psycho's second season was among the most anticipated anime of 2019, with lots of hype being built even before it aired. Many claim that the second managed to actually surpass the first one by leagues, praising the character development and the plot's shift to more dramatic and slice-of-life elements.
Is it worth all the hype and praise? Can it be considered a masterpiece? Let’s find out.
[1. Beginning with story and characters...]
During the first season, the first 3 arcs were character introductions and episodic adventures, whereas the last two (episodes 6 to 12) were more straightforward and linear, with clear antagonists in mind. In the second, Mob Psycho followed a more episodic slice-of-life approach up unti…

Mob Psycho 100 II follows in the footsteps of its antecedent in having terrible comedy, uninteresting battles, and fatuous characters. Mob-kun is essentially a younger, non-bald version of Saitama with none of the “charming” qualities that would allow the viewer to become engrossed with his various escapades. Situational comedy typically originates from Mob’s lack of self-awareness, in conjunction with the manipulative nature of the self-proclaimed “Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century” (i.e. Arataka Reigen) who frequently employs “special moves” that are intended to be hilarious, but, more often than not, are puerile absurdities that involve copious amounts of — hypertension-inducing — sodium chloride. Nevertheless, Reigen might be the lone bright spot in an otherwise prosaic show. His un…

“There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.”
When season 2 of mob psycho 100 got announced it would be an understatement to say that I was excited. I was brimming with excitement to see the continuation of Reigen’s, Mob's and all the other characters story. But now after it’s release and I’ve watched all the episodes of my oh so awaited season 2. I’m honestly not feeling it, and I’m very disappointed.
I’m in no way saying that mob psycho 2 is a bad show. Not at all. The animation is stunning, the direction is phenomenal and the voice acting is as good, if not even better than the first season. It’s noticeable that a lot of care and effort has been put into making Mob Psycho 2. But despite all of these amazing feat…

It rarely happens that second season of any anime tops the first season but its not the case with the Mob Psycho 100, because its clearly improves over 1st season artistically and story-wise too.
Mob Psycho 100 is lucky that its not being handled by any other studio then Bones because otherwise it might not have gotten the same treatment that its getting here, any other studio might have changed the director for the second season and all know how well that sits with anime fans. Just look at that One Punch Man's second season's PV, the anime has not been released yet but people are freaking out at the PV because not only studio is changed but director also is changed. The thing about mob psycho 100 is that artistically its very unique and one of kind like Bakimonogatari, I am glad that it…

"I wanted to make something kind." - ONE [Author of One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100] (paraphrased since I can't find the source of the interview)
The most hyped up second season since My Hero Academia II has come to fruition and let me say, it does not disappoint.
My expectations were sky-hecking-high after an incredible first season. Yet, SOMEHOW, the second season went above and beyond the call of duty and blew me away with the most amazing season of any show I have ever seen in my life. Allow me to explain.
While most people's complaints related to the show is "bland" and "too slice-of-life". I must first say that this show is centered around the characters rather than the plot, despite the plot being really, really good.
Nothing related to the story is wasted. Every character, e…

What makes a show good? Is it the story’s ability of positing a revolutionary concept or to delve into deep unprecedented philosophical topics and tackle uncharted themes and ideas? Or, maybe it’s the unique characters present that imbue the show with relatability and separate it from the rest? This season of Mob Psycho 100 has me thinking otherwise. Mob Psycho takes themes like self-identity, comradery, uniqueness and blends them into a tale that I will not soon forget. Mob Psycho tackles the aforementioned themes in a way that most of its predecessors have failed to do. This has me believing that in order to fabricate a good story, you don’t need the most original concept but need to execute whatever you have in your hand to a T.
This season, we again go on a journey with Mob (the OP ps…

Sometimes, I wish I could wipe my own memory and relive the experience of something all over again. Whether it’s a book, manga, video game, TV show, or anime, there’s probably one thing out there we all want to experience all over again for the first time. Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 is one of those things.
With its ever growing popularity, ONE's Mob Psycho 100 is back in town with its eccentric character cast and innovative ideas. It’s hard not to love the show with its sheer dynamic visual style. But we know Mob Psycho is much more than its animation quality. In fact, this is one of the few show that fully manages to capture the magic of the manga and perhaps outdone itself even more. Mob’s return reminds me how an underdog young boy like him can make a difference in a world where anything…
