Needed to see what all the fuss was about. I could never get past the first couple of episodes in the first season, but this was a lot more promising start and had less random humor. Not bad.


You really need to finish the first season first if you haven't yet, y'know. It gets better around ep3 and ep5.


Am I gonna miss anything storywise? I'm halfway though the second episode of season 2 and do not feel I'm missing out in anything.

Quite a bit, actually, especially with the current arc tying back to the last arc of the first season. Mob Psycho is largely character-driven, so watching characters change and develop from what they once were is the largest source of gratification.

I cant remember if Emi was seen much in season 1. I really did like their interactions though, hope she's continued to be fleshed out.

"I'm going to consider my feelings more" was my favourite moment this episode.

What a nice start for the second season. So Mob now can control thing like plants? The tomato growing stuff was pretty cool, even if they had 0 taste :D

I knew Mob wouldn't be able to speak towards all the pupils. At least he was the "first" person who couldn't say anything in his given 5 minutes. At least it had a good thing for him, when Emi confessed him her love. I was pretty surprised, the reactions of the most other characters were just priceless.

Sad that all of that was just because of an lost bet. But even this helped Mob in a way that he began to develope and to respect his own feelings way more. So he showed, even he hasn't done this before, Emi his power and it seems the interest of her side isn't completely lost. I didn't expect Tsubomi to be the casual observer in this situation.

Can't wait to see how this will go on :)

God DAMN. If this is a sign of things to come, I'm very excited for this season.

That was easily one of the best executed episodes I've seen yet. To me, it immediately brought forth memories of the very best in anime. GTO, Ippo, Clannad AS, Disappearance of Haruhi.

The first half was decent, with Mob exorcising evil spirits in gorgeously fluid animation like he always does but that second half was a masterpiece. That transition with the Skull's core turning into the seed Reigen planted was so fluid! The scene with the tasteless instant tomatoes was very amusing to watch and the opening's as hyper as it gets.

While Shigeo didn't win, with the guy who resigned just recently taking back the position, he was given the honor of being the first silent candidate in the school ever. I bet that his platform was based on the principle of actions being louder than words so he just stood there lmao (is jowk)

Like everyone else, I never expected that Mob would get a girlfriend and it was actually too good to be true. Emi's confession of her false love towards Shigeo made him realize that he should start thinking for himself when it comes to interacting with others and the way he stood up for her when those bitchy friends of hers ripped up her novel manuscript made him the manliest man in the world for that moment. That moment when Mob showed his psychic powers to someone else to reassemble the scraps that flew away was so beautiful that I couldn't help but get overwhelmed by emotion. Tsubomi watching the scene and commenting on how smooth her childhood friend is was the satisfying cherry on top of a well-made cake.

That was a satisfying episode! I laughed so hard when Mob froze in the stage! hahaha! It was too hilarious! On the other hand, I didn't expect to see Tsubomi witnessing the scene with Mob and Emi.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Really great start to this new season.
I forget, though, didn't Reign turn out to be evil at the end of the first season, along with Mob's ghost-friend, Dimple?

I mean, I guess I'm fine with everyone in the show just forgetting all of that ever happened, but... it was just a little off-putting. Or maybe I'm mis-remembering some detail from the first season that explains all of this.

Anyway, excited to watch more of this. I especially love the different art mediums that were being used throughout, such as those pencil drawings at one point, and the paint on glass animation. More shows could learn to experiment with animation styles like this, and bring some variety to the world of animation.

i had a few issues with the 1st season, part of it was that Mob basically stayed as this exploited social loser throughout the entire thing, and as far as I could tell - he basically stayed that way.

mob having a girlfriend? impossible. she's a thot, fake, it's a trap, there's no way this is real. You can't have something go perfectly fine for Mob, there's just no precedence for that. But seeing Mob have someone to walk home with, that's just so cute and heartwarming, but watching this while acknowledging that there's no way the girl had some kind of ulterior motives was just a emotional rollercoaster. This is so cute and nice, but it can't be real. Something's going to happen.

And something did happen, of course it did. She asked him out on a dare. Of course that happened. Nothing goes well for Mob.

But Mob turned it back. And we got a happy ending. He's breaking from his chains of being a social loser. That's beautiful. Please, the action's all nice, but this is the stuff that I want to see more of. please

(walking with someone, only to walk back to where you came from, is something i can totally relate with)

2nd season began in a good and dynamic way with a cute moment at the end, as @D-ohnuts noticed.

I think this season has a chance to be better than the previous one. I did not adore the first one. It was fine as an anime, but I expected something better. Looking on how much praise Mob Psycho II received and how high its score is, I have good feelings about it.

Oh, wow, what a start from Mob Psycho 100, you had there. Tbh, its not good when the show start slow with same ghost buster thingy action with Mob. Even using the same format scenes like the first season was not nice on my first impression. However, when the duration got its time, new pace suddenly improve my personal judgement. Added some more minor plot, like that romantical was really nice to watch, all of my first impression got banished. The appearance of the new girl character was sweet too. The writer of the novel? Really cliche, but sounds fun to me. Glad that Mob's had fun, and make some melodrama to the show. Hope to see more of them in some of the next episodes, before back to its stereotypical fighto action thing on esper epic battle cry. Exciting!

This ep made me smile so hard, my favourite parts of season 1 were the action sequences but even though this episode had none of that it still managed to go above and beyond my expectations. Feel like im gonna remember this episode for a really long time cuz of the effect it had on me, literally felt euphoric at the ending.

really great welcome back to the series in my opinion. Comedy and humour is as it always is, good old Reigen showing up can't miss him in the first episode and just some average mob life.
the intro theme was fucking stellar holy balls, looked like a lot of action along with new characters and returning old character. loved it. Wow i really did not expect mob to get a "girlfriend" like that, sadly it was almost a complete lie but we got to see mob's determination to express himself more, let alone the cinematography of the last scene with his powers was bloody amazing!
really looking forward to see where season 2 will go
