1.How can one post a review after 1 episode,they should be deleted.
2.Complaints about art,everyone knew ONE is not a man of drawing,his stories appeal to people
3.I like Mob a lot and I wish he would just kill that stupid,insensible,fake idiot of master

I found this episode disappointing to say the least. I don't really like Mob and the con man. I'll give it another chance, but I was expecting something better.


Same here. I probably bought on the hype train of everyone claiming "this is better than OPM, omg it's happening" and what I got so far is a young Saitama with hair going Ghostbusters.

It was OK.

I pity the guy; not only he was scammed by a "master" and being looked down onto but his parents aren't proud of him and his little brother was more loved than him


Really? the way I see it he (unconsciously or consciously) knows the guy is a fraud but ignores that because its the only genuine friend he has, while everyone else shuns him and dislikes him.

Can't believe an anime that's faithfully adapting ONE's art can look this fabulous.
Anyways, Reigen's even more awesome than in the manga thanks to some really good voice acting and his animated gestures and the opening is pretty darn good. So far the adaptation couldn't be any better, if it's really 2 cour I'll be overjoyed.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

yep, that's what the last part of the episode made me think too, and also all the times mob questioned why reigen was doing nothing

The characters were kinda annoying (shouting all your lines does not = comedy) but the animation was impressively dynamic and the art style unique and interesting so there was definitely stuff I enjoyed about this episode too.

Not amazing, not bad 3/5 (still a better first episode than BNHA if you ask me)

totally legit. They are also Psychics and use clairvoyance. Their only goal is to destroy Mob from behind like sneaky litltle jerks, because they don't stand a chance in a normal fight.

The OP is good
Visually it's impressive
Actual content wise it is not. Most of the jokes weren't that funny. I hear that this is more a character-driven show, so I'll wait for that point. Plus the relationship between Mob and Reigen is actually interesting so I'll watch for that too.
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

This was pretty good.

They should have saved this show for fall season. It's ore suitable for Halloween season since it had psychic and exorcism.

Don't be surprised at the early reviews. Especially if they're rated 1s. The One Punch Man stigma is still strong and people are just going to hate on anything ONE related. Just ignore them and enjoy the show.

Hype so far! I'm getting 7-8/10 feeling from this episode.

Just like OPM I don't laugh at the comedy but the show manages to win me over anyway, somehow. Weird, how ONE pulled that off.

that's subjective.. I think it adds to the comedy and it's a breath of fresh air from all the moe'ish shows airing, especially during summer.

Are OPM comparisons really necessary? It's not like every writer can only write one type of work. Certainly, I could think of a few comparisons myself, but that's not any more helpful than finding comparisons to other anime. Really, the only thing that screams "One Punch Man" to me about this first episode is the stupid/hilarious Saitama face. Besides that, to me this feels like Gintama meets Bleach. I'm hooked, animation was fantastic but there wasn't any interesting choreography if you ask me - things moved really cool and then exploded, hard to tell that there was any interaction between the psychic and the spirit when the finishing blow is an invisible psychic attack.

Good episode. The art & animation is spectacular. Great to see Studio Bones stick with One's original art style. Decent OP & ED song.
The detail on the characters & spirits when they freak out & get mad is amazing. Love the shading.
Mob/Shigeo is so freaking powerful. Those are some awesome psychic abilities.

So Reigen's a fake psychic. Lol can't do anything against those spirits.
Haha Shigeo only sees Tsubomi as a girl while the others as vegetables in his eyes.

Nice Saitama reference.
Sweet of Shigeo to help that Biker Spirit out & allow him & his gang to go into the afterlife.

27% until Mob explodes. This is not going to be good.
Looking forward to more.

This ONE author really like to make absurdly powerful protagonists eh?

Not sure what to make of this series. It has its good moments but so far I don't feel the same kind of impact as in say One-Punch Man.

The art.........I guess I can understand why it is that way. Sometimes it sells the mood well at others I find it downright gibberish.

Simply put, I find this series to be extremely bipolar.

The style is more crude than FLCL, but the animation itself is top notch. I think the very beginning of it with the bizarre psychic fight was sort of a draw in on those who were going to dismiss it for the style. Under normal circumstances I'd be concerned with the style hindering the series, but with such a prominent name behind it, it alleviates my concerns.

I am concerned that the story won't be exciting, but I really don't know what to expect (nor do I want to have any expectations in the first place), but I'm ultra curious about Mob. In the first episode so far, he's seemed pretty dull, plain, and rather pathetic (except when it comes to psychic powers), but I wonder if he knows a lot more than what he lets on. The story mostly followed Reigan this time around, so I think we'll see a different side of him going from episode 2 and on, though I doubt we'll be given full leisure into his mind, or what drives him.

I did watch it because of OPM, but I didn't watch it because people said it was "better". Overall, ONE only has OPM under his belt to list as a success, and I know the art history behind that lol. Still, it's quite the phenomenal success, and I want more. I don't know if this'll be as good as OPM or better, but I think it'll bide some time until the inevitable season 2 of OPM.

I think it might be a little more of a beneficial relationship to him. Regardless of his power, he's still in middle school, so not only is he getting paid for easy work, but he's also getting some experience under his belt. I think he also sees the dude as a good person, regardless of his tendencies to lie or stretch the truth. A lot of the things Mob said seemed like direct jabs at him, which I'm not convinced he said at random.

So...

I wan't expecting that sort of animation! I don't mean it was bad, but I had another idea on my mind, as this show is produced by Studio Bones (an studio which's art I love)
That opening was... interesting.
The mom sucks! Why is she comparing him with his brother?? That really got me
He sucks at school. And at sports. And gets distracted with ants. I know it has nothing to do with these, but it sort of reminds me of Saitama
And finally: You gotta love One's (author of One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100) butt chins XD

Holy Jesus Christ, this was off the hook insane, I laughed my ass out on this, I really like that they are staying true to ONE's art style and the crazy visuals, damn sensei is so powerful if he uses his power people around hi m will melt so he leaves the "easy" spirits to Mob.

That Saitma easter egg though. LMAO



Honorable mentions:

- Butt chins
- Puberty makes you bend spoons
- If your psychic powers are too high and you use it people around you will melt
- Always trust Sensei
- Banana peals are a biker gang's worst enemy

This reminds me too much of OPM and I fucking hate that show with its lackluster comedy. By hate, I mean it's nothing amazing and just mediocre. This show does have better artwork going for it, and the hair on the MC gives me the creeps.

This show does have its artstyle and animation going for it, so I'll stick to it for now... But honestly, nothing amazing of the sort. The plot feels weak, but it's 1 episode only so far.

Oh so it's officially 12 episodes? Bummer, but I guess it would have been impossible to maintain such high visual fidelity for more than that.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
