Mob Psycho 100

Eighth-grader Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama has tapped into his inner wellspring of psychic prowess at a young age. But the power quickly proves to be a liability when he realizes the potential danger in his skills. Choosing to suppress his power, Mob's only present use for his ability is to impress his longtime crush, Tsubomi, who soon grows bored of the same tricks.

In order to effectuate control on his skills, Mob enlists himself under the wing of Arataka Reigen, a con artist claiming to be a psychic, who exploits Mob's powers for pocket change. Now, exorcising evil spirits on command has become a part of Mob's daily, monotonous life. However, the psychic energy he exerts is barely the tip of the iceberg; if his vast potential and unrestrained emotions run berserk, a cataclysmic event that would render him completely unrecognizable will be triggered. The progression toward Mob's explosion is rising and attempting to stop it is futile.

Mob Psycho 100" is an anime about Mob, an adorable middle schooler with psychic powers who works for his fake psychic boss, Reigen. The art style is unique, but it's a little hard to overlook the fact that almost everyone looks like Saitama with hair, which is a major flaw for me. Additionally, besides the main character, everyone seems like an over-the-top idiot, making it hard to care about "saving people" because none of them feel like real individuals.

Despite this, I can't help but focus on Mob's personal development and the impact he has on the people around him. The OST is very good, and ... while the episodes aren't the most exciting ever, they aren't boring either; they just barely pass the threshold of being fun. The characters are enjoyable, and I am particularly invested in four of them: Mob and Reigen, of course, but also Hanazawa, who is a cool character, as well as Mob's brother. Overall, this anime is a wholesome, fun experience.

Mixed Feelings

if you just want to watch a silly cliche shonen, this is the perfect match! and I'm not saying that in a totally negative way, you see... it's VERY easy to check all the cliche shonen plots list while watching mob psycho 100, but somehow, it's still interesting!

it's probably because of Mob himself, because he's a sweetheart and a badass at the same time, and Reigen, whose power is... charisma??? (and the other characters are kind of boring and forgettable tbh)

the plots are very simple and a little mingled upon each other, but nothing hard to get

I recommend the show if you don't ... have anything better to do, it's a great cliche shonen to pass the time

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 tries to make it seem like there is a point to it all but then there isn't. A slice of life is a slice of life, and a plot is a plot. Trying to do both at the same time just doesn't really work.

The art is oldish, it is comic book style but then boring. It tries to be flashy but it falls down at the last hurdle by hiding mediocre style behind the screen of art style. Characters all sort of feeling dull and it doesn't particularly excite me at all.

The sound should be big, huge, and crazy when they fight but it does nothing. The voices are fine, music is okay but the main thing you want in the fight is lacking. Imagine watching a war film with BB gun noises instead of rifle noises, that is what this is. You can make something look as flashy as you want but if the sound doesn't match then there is no point.

The characters are wide and varied but still dull, boring, and unimagined. Mob himself is one of the most boring protagonists I have ever seen.

Maybe I came too late but then I've watched shows from the 1980s with more excitement than this. Had a read through the source material and it isn't much better. The story is all over the place trying to cover a mass of directions and routes all at once whilst not really doing anything. It is a solid 4/10 in the end for me. The hype train definitely should have gone through this station and not stopped.
