Mob Psycho 100: Dai Ikkai Rei toka Soudansho Ian Ryokou - Kokoro Mitasu Iyashi no Tabi

Aw man nice surprise specials of great anime like this one, would make you feel so desperate for another season to come out!

Honestly man, after doing a project the whole day, I'm so glad I made the decision to go onto a site that every anime fan knows about (💏 anime) and the dub/sub versions of this just popped up like dang, happy days!

There has been a lot of things happening in this 24 minute short so I'm not gonna spoil it for you ONE fans out there. The only clue I will give you is that Reigan has someone well known as one of his phone contacts at the beginning but that's all I'm gonna say.

So glad to see the Mob Psycho crew back together for this special, it's definitely well needed at this time if you're sick of unoriginal Isekai anime being newly advertised every season!

D'aww! This was such a sweet special!

Story 10/10:
Well, the story even though it was only for this one episode - was really interesting! Spirits and such consultation office members, along with Teru and Ritsu went to Hot Springs together to solve a mystery about a possible parallel world existing in the Zebra Prefecture, especially in the Ibogami tunnel.

Art 10/10:
Well, Bones did again, a great job on showing the emotions of characters. Nothing lacked, the anatomy was always on point and oh god the expressions - they were so original and sometimes so pure to look at.

Sound 10/10:
We got to hear again the classics of Mob Psycho OST's and ending sound was really nice! Every seiyuu did a great job dubbing their character!

Character 10/10:
Well, this is a special to a really great anime with great created characters, so i can't really say if they lack something - they were as cool as usual.

Enjoyment 10/10:
While watching it, i didn't got bored - the amazing Tachikawa Yuzuru and Bones gave us another masterpiece.

Overall 10/10:
This special is really sweet. It showed well, how great you can tell a story in such short time. It also made fun of isekai animes and their usual tropes so definitly this is a good special!

Most of the time, you'd be done with a specific series and say to yourself “Now I'll never have to deal with this abomination of nature”. Of course, that applies to all of those BAD shows that you are just forced to finish out of your completionist habit. But then again, there are always the shows that have you asking for more, even when they are finished, so as soon as extra content is released, you're already carving a sit through. That is of course very common with sequels and whatnot. But short animations are almost always a grind. They either have a doll and uncompelling setting, used as a cash grab marketing move, or in some rare instances like this one, is a love letter to the fans, a thank you statement appreciated only by the devoted fans that always ask for extra.

“Mob Psycho 100: Dai Ikkai Rei toka Soudansho Ian Ryokou - Kokoro Mitasu Iyashi no Tabi” is a self-contained story, set some time after the evens of the second season of the parent show “Mob Psycho 100”, following Shigeo, Reigen, Ritsu, Teruki, Ekubo, and Katsuya as they head expecting a relaxing hot spring vacation only to be involved into yet another odd Job of Reigen's expertise.

What sells the OVA is how modular it is, it could easily be bundled with the second season as a sequential episode with none noticing a drop of pacing, animation, voice acting or quality, it has been clearly given the same amount of love and care the parent series got. It was truly an enjoyable watch that had the same lovable characters, used the same familiar landmark humor, welcomed back the fans, and opens its arms to the strange. All in short. Watch it!
