| I must admit I enjoyed this episode. Mob's rage mode makes him look sexy somehow (maybe it's just me being weird as always). I'm liking this anime way more than OPM. Let's see what happens on the next one ~ |
| We finally get to see Mob's explosion. The ending was hilarious. Great episode. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| I thought only bad of Reigen till now but I think he is an important existence in Mob's life. He probably cares more about Mob than he shows. He is an asshole when it comes to money though. |
 |
| The animation of Mob's emotion burst was stunning. This whole scene was so badass in every way. And the story progresses so nicely. If things continue the same way, definitely will watch till the end. |

Jessiegg said: That was funny but also a bit sad. Poor Mob has to choose between having emotions like a regular person and exploding. Reigen somehow manages to insult and compliment Mob with the same exact words. I know, poor Mob! He needs more friends [does he have any??] that don't mind him having a blank expression and teach him how to show his emotions little by little. Also Reigen actually said something decent for once!! Even if he had to insult him at first... |
| Mob became really cool when he relased his powers. |
Guilek said: sadpwner said: The overemphasis I guess. __ Alright, this is my guess on what the series will be about. Over the course of the series, he will regain emotions one by one. The first arc was about resolve I think? It could have been anger but if it was, it was a horrible attempt. The next arc might be about sorrow as hinted at the end by "I'm... terrible". I assume the telepathy club will bring him happiness in the future? My final guess is discovering his teacher's fake identity will be related to him fully recovering. For his past crush, I don't think anything significant will happen. There's a low chance he gets rejected but I doubt it. The reason why I think the show has one of the worse fight scenes are: Almost 0 tension or buildup. The fights are almost always "on the spot" or scarcely developed over a single episode. His opponents are just randoms with no significance. This also leads to predictability. You know Mob will not lose. You know mob will not exercise much of his power. There is nothing special gained or lost from victory or defeat -- a consequence of both of the above. Shows are much more fun when you are able to root for someone or hope something will happen. The problem is, there's no one to root for or something to hope for at this stage. There is no tension or suspense because you know Mob will win and once again, there is no special need to win or lose. A future serious fight will be predictable. They created a trend of 0 characterisation for the enemy so once an enemy starts receiving characterisation, you know it'll be a serious battle. Not a big deal but a little subtleness is nice. The enemy from this episode reappeared at the end, so it isn't over in a single episode. And he can have more characterisation in the future since he is still there. I think you misunderstood me. The fight was boring because the character was characterised over 15 minutes similarly to the other enemies so far. I'll reply to the other response latter. g2g soon |
| 10% - Liking the opening more every time. Sounds like Christina from Lacuna Coil. 20% - The first scene had some pretty funny dialogue. Some nice story progress. 30% - What the f**k is even happening here? The weirdest part of the episode. 40% - Mob suddenly jumps in % fast and I'm like "Whoa, you pissed him off." 50% - Mob keeps jumping in % and we're starting to get big goose bumps! 60% - It all goes off, the art, the dialogue, and everything. It's amazing. 70% - Those flashback scenes were extremely effective. I shed a tear. 80% - That ghost transformation looks pathetic. But it's funny again 90% - Nice closing scenes and a look at next week. Favorite show. 100%-GIVE ME MOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE1!!111!!!!!!!!1!!11!!! |
| at the beginning of the episode I thought that'll be just a boring episode but I WAS WRONG IT WAS F**KING AMAZING |

| SSJ Mob was pretty funny lmao. Its a pretty funny show, the animation looks fantastic as well. Good stuff. |
kadiro said: Maybe because that bitch is the only one that doesn't look like Saitama. I do agree that he needs to move on tho.Why are you obsessed with that bitch, Mob? You need to fvcking forget her and move on. |
| No seriously. |
| This episode was fucking gold. If this keeps up this will easily be my AOTS. The more I hear of Tsubomi, the less I liker her... |
 |
poor Mob he just wants to be popular lol and he's just bored  |
 |
| Mob can be such a badass! I am really enjoying this show so far, great work from ONE again. 5/5 |
JizzyHitler said: Isnt that the point, mob is lost in a world that greatly differs from everything he is and his attempts to fit in with the hyper over the top world around him only leads to stressing him out. Hes trying desperately to find what it means to become human but only subconsciously locks away his emotions in the process whilst everything around him is going full ham with their emotions. Its an intentional dissonance. I don't mind people showing their emotions: it's the over-the-top and childish way in which those emotions are expressed (visually, but also because they're often accompanied by silly sound effects) that bugs me. It feels like a stereotypical "shounen" high school comedy, and that's a genre I just don't like. But in the end, it's all a matter of taste, of course. I like the character development and fights in Mob Psycho (and in ONE's work, those two often go together), but I don't like the wacky humor very much, and so far, there has been quite a lot of emphasis on the latter, in both style and substance. The anime certainly isn't bad, but it isn't what I hoped for either. I'll keep watching though! Rio_Pascua said: Question: how far will the anime cover? It'll definitely do the , but everything after that ... I'm not sure. It might also cover the (probably my favorite story arc, because it's the darkest, most "serious" arc and the only time ), but it depends how many of the smaller storylines of the manga they'll adapt. The is almost certainly too far away for this season. |

| oh so this is that explosion thing... it was cool though Yeah... they don't seem suspicious at all :>  |
| i thought this episode was kinda creepy, maybe it's the cult and masks but it was my fave ep so far. ngl the first two were kinda boring |
xFrown said: This show is CLEARLY superior to Re:Zero yet such low score compared to it. It has comedy, action, fun and original plots and BELIEVEABLE characters in terms of their personality (not the actual esper power ofc). I've enjoyed each episode so far and each episode surprised me, unlike Re: zero same old shit every episode. don't embarrass yourself, Re:Zero episodes have so much more depth and quality than Mob that it's just silly to compare them I will admit the animation of Mob is better, but nothing else |
geralt said: Welp, Mob was pretty badass in his rage mode. Pretty great episode, his explosion was done amazingly and I laughed quite a bit at every scene with ONE's dry humour (in particular Mob staying for the milk and the ending scene where he gained 20% in an instant). Did I see Josuke in the preview? I was thinking the same thing!  |
Memor said: "You're the protagonist of your own life." Feel like he ripped that one off from somewhere It's just a normal sentiment of most people in the world. Each individual only accounts for themselves, as such the main character in their lives is themselves. I don't speak Japanese but I imagine the translator here just chose "protagonist" over "main character". |
| I FREAKING LOVE THAT DANG OPENING DANG IT. Anyway, I was curious as to how the body improvement thing was going to go, it went about as well as I expected it too. Mob finally showed off some of his psychic abilities and it was epic. This anime is great in absolutely every single way, and so, so, SO very strange. Episode was getting pretty deep and intense towards the end though, and seeing Mob get mad was interesting. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| This was pretty cool episode. GJ One for making a story like that. |
 |
| I can't believe that they carried last episode's story over. It seemed so ridiculous that it might have just been a simple structure to a punchline, but now we're seeing the after effects of it. It's strange to say that Mob Psycho is definitely structured better than One Punch Man. Winter's one-hit wonder was a blast, but it took 5 episodes to start showing what the show was really about and all it's subliminal messages, besides just "one punch" for the lols. The idea of taking the same deadpan character structure but actually not make him as deadpan as you think by showing off puberty is quite the idea, and it really works well with the show to emphasize that there's more than just slapstick and crude caricature proportions. And I really hope that we get more of 100% Mob down the line, not so much restricted to "rage" if possible, and hopefully by the end of the season, some progress is actually made and there's an actual substantial relationship between Mob and his crush. Don't have it like OPM where the struggle is just stationary, make it progress and for the show to grow out. |
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA! ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
| This episode made me jump up and down from excitement in the hype train. Finally a good show again after last season's disastererous one for me (except for Jojo). This episode was badass as hell!!!!!!  I can't wait to see Mob fight without holding back. I'm really curious where this show is going to go ^^ |
| Loving this anime. |
| Mob at 100% was rather intense. Cannot blame him, that (LOL) bastard was indeed full of shit. Nevertheless, the final moments of the episode were quite hilarious, the gauge went up by 20% only from seeing that spirit thing. |
| If ONE is good at anything is making stupendously strong characters.The episode was very solid and once he let it all out I got a scary and exciting vibe from him.I like him when he goes all out.That religious order was pathetic and useless,smile like a retard even if you feel like crying,he deserved what he got. |
GD1551 said: All this show has going for it is the animation. Right now it's not as entertaining or funny as one punch. This show has nothing to do with one punch. Sure it has the same creator but the concept, themes, and style are completely different and set out to tell a different type of story. Compared to a lot of new shows this would easily be my favorite even if I liked OPM more. I'm enjoying Mob even more than OPM because it focuses more on the characters than action, and that's exactly why they have no place being compared and isn't a good reason to dismiss it. |

I'm not dismissing it, I'm just saying I don't think it's as good as one punch. A lot of the jokes are terrible and the action is ok I guess. Sure. Comparing it to one punch is weird anyway. It's like comparing every show you watch to some other unrelated show and thinking "Was it as funny or action packed as that totally different show? No? OK it's got nothing going for it." That might not be the case exactly, but it till seems redundant to compare it. |
| Poor Mob, he just wants to be macho. I love his deadpan reactions and his eyes, Jesus Christ, those eyes. And no, I don't care about his eyes when after he explodes and goes in rage mode. I like his fish eyes more. I knew it, Tsubomi was a bitch. Mob can do better than her. His percentage sure rocketed fast to 20% after seeing that green thing. |
| 臭い- |
| That was awesome. Looks like it's getting better. |
| Gosh, this show just keeps getting better and better. Really love the animation, and really love the flow and pace of the story. Looks like we're going to be introduced to that Slimer-lookin' mothafucka next episode. I'm pretty excited to see where things go from here. I'm also curious to see if Mob's explosion will be the same emotion every time or if it will vary. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| I love the art design in this show. The background in the eleavtor scene, the stage, etc.. The cult was creepy and funny at the same time. And damn, that opening. Almost better than One Punch Man! |
| Yessss, now I'm really enjoying this show. At first I decided to keep watching tho the anime was kinda weak for me but I can say this episode was the best of all three so far, very solid. I also thought they were gonna make him explode until the final ep , glad that wasn't the case. Badass Mob is great. Waiting for the next one. |
| That was intense - it finally reached 100% and it was hype! I really found myself engrossed, plus I even chuckled couple of times - so the humour is finally hitting the right notes. The animation was amazing - though I hope tachikawa / kameda & crew realize that not every scene has to be flashy sakuga & use the animation for broader narrative. 3.5/5 |
| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| Woooow this episode was amazing, definitely the best until now. Even though I must say at one point I was like "wtf am I watching" but it was great. I didn't expect Mob to reach 100% so quickly but I'm glad he did because he looks so badass at 100%. Also the little OPM "easter egg" was in this episode as well. I wonder if the story will be more complicated than just Mob trying to be more popular(I have a feeling it will be) |

| Gotta give props to Mob Psycho 100. 3 episodes in and I'm this excited to see the next episode. Unfortunately, waiting 7 more days proved such a difficult task that well...I read the manga. Still excited. Animation is amazing and I like the art style. Was a bit sad to see the reception for the show from the very day I seen the first episode. Some of my favorite animes don't really have the greatest start. From what I read, The story will get more complicated. It has been a while since I was this obsessed with an anime though. I finally feel like watching other anime now. :) |
