I really don't like how BONES handled the dialogue scenes. Couldn't they just have simple, fast dialogue just like in the manga? Emphasis on fast. Over-animating every single reaction makes every conversation so tiresome and long.

Being too weird ruins the funny. Especially with that massage scene. Never have I imagined that scene to be so strange. I chuckled when I read it in the manga but just felt disgusted when watching it in the anime.

Dunno why everyone is praising this adaptation. Episode 1 was a complete failure by not even showing what the show was like: it mislead many people who haven't read the manga to think it's an action-orientated show like One Punch Man. Episode 2 hasn't reached my expectations either.

I'll keep going because I'm interested on how they handle Claw, but I fear that it will never be as good as the manga.

Is it my idea or Mob Psycho 100 really has little to nothing when compared to One-Punch Man? Same author? yes but I feel both are handled so very differently. While both are silly with overpowered main leads, I cannot help but feel that in OPM everything is fantastic and explosive, whereas MP100 only sells through exaggerated cartoonish faces all the time '-'

It kinda feels like a basic product at the end. And no I'm not talking about animation quality only, but rather how the two series go at it when it comes to developing their setting/plot.

But seriously the art style is probably the best out of any anime I'v ever seen, and it continues to impress me in every scene.

Like this episode, Mob's character is being flesed out, his unaware anxiety to his social lifestyle, and his unsure goal. Reigen's massage technique was hilarious also the their crossdressing to infiltrate the all girls school. Pretty enjoyable, hype for the next episode, I guess its going to be explosion of Mob.

I kinda like Tome's voice.

Some might find it a bit boring but it will get better as the story progresses. Don't worry. Or try watching it without comparing to OPM and just appreciate the art and animation.

Its the opposite.

OPM only had one meme and ran with it, literally spelling out it in the first episode ('gee look overpwoered guy but he is depressed! get it get it?!?!"

Mob Psycho so far has far more substance and complexity in its storytelling. It feels like the main work for the author while OPM is kind of a short side-job.

Not to mention that even beyond the content, Mob Psycho so far has far better art style and animation quality than OPM did.

So Mob is being forced to join the Telepathy Club because they need another member otherwise they'll be disbanded. Reigan believes that these kids just want their room to laze around in and it's not like they're gonna save the school from shutting down or anything.

And this week's mission is to enter an all girls school to meet the clients who want a spirit exorcised. Lol Reigan dressed as a girl. And he gets mistaken for some pervert and even makes the news lol. So Mob enters the school alone and because of his size, the girls have a hard time believing that this is the kid who will help them. And then we get some Bones goodness when Mob takes care of the perverted spirit. And while disappearing, the spirit asks if Mob is living his school life to its fullest or not.

And that makes Mob seriously ponder upon it. He doesn't have any hobby, any real purpose for doing anything, he isn't that interested in studies, he doesn't have any clear life goals, he isn't good at anything in particular, he was just joining the club because he felt that he should be in a club because that's what middle schoolers do. After thinking hard about it, he joins the body improvement club because that will help him get a better body and then help in confessing to Tsubomi successfully. (lol he just let the Telepathy Club disband because neko them, Mob's gotta improve his body, who's got time for some Telepathy Club losers) Asking Reigan if he was missing out on the true middle school experience didn't give any positive results as that guy just wanted to make money out of Mob. Lol when Mob started the conversation he thought that maybe he found out about him being a fake or if he thought his pay was too little.

If that flashback really was a flashback, then it appears that Mob was either her friend in childhood or they were in the same class in elementary school. And it appears that she is the kind of girl who gets bored with things easily including humans. She got bored of Mob's psychic powers of making things float. But then again, maybe Mob wasn't showing off his powers to her properly. But after getting bored of Mob, she went on to get interested in another boy doing something.

Mob has found something to do in middle school for the first time, apart from that part-time exorcism thingy.

The comedy felt a little down here for some reason. The visuals were still gureito but it felt less funny here. The episode had other stuff related to Mob which was nice and made up for the somewhat lack of funniness. Also, dat massage

They exist, but are extremely rare to the point that the average person doesn't believe in them beyond what people do in our world.

Especially since STRONG espers are extremely rare, and the majority of common espers (still extremely rare compared to normal people) can only do one minor trick and it's usually pretty inconsistent in the ability to do it or level power they do it with.

One of the most powerful espers in world even went crazy and turned to despair till the day he died after being hounded as a fake his whole life no matter how many people he helped, and being forced into shady businesses earn money that ultimately caused even his loved ones to despise him.

The ability to exorcise ghosts is also pretty rare as it requires an above average strength esper to do so solo.. (most professional exorcists tend to band together in groups to combine their powers to combat threats to make up for lacking the raw strength).

Now there are people who have latent psychic potential that isn't normally strong enough to use that can be Awakened, which some groups have done research on but..........the failure rate is high and the results aren't pretty at all.

There's also related research to further enhance the powers of awakened espers (or natural espers), which also tends to have mixed results depending on the method used. Gradual humane methods tend to work but are slow and extremely gradual in their growth, while....more...excessive methods can achieve better results and in shorter time periods but side effects if it doesn't work varying between going completely insane, completely losing all esper power, becoming a mental vegetable, or just straight up dying.


Keep in mind, both Mob Psycho and OPM use the same rules for psychic powers.

Everything supernatural is psychic powers, people just call it different things based on how it's used or the limitations on their knowledge of how to use it. It's all ultimately is fueled by the same principle power source.

The move Tatsumaki uses to kill most monsters is the exact same one that Mob uses to defeat ghosts, psycho-kinetically manipulating the molecules of power that make up the creature/ghost and then ripping it apart in a whirlwind of psychic power until it disperses too much to anchor the spirit to the world (similarly ghosts that pass on of their own accord willingly allow themselves to disperse once they are at peace, since it was a strong desire or emotion that caused them to attract psychic power to sustain themselves in the first place).

As a ghost becomes stronger from slowly gathering more and more free psychic energy (or from devouring other spirits), it's form becomes more psychically dense requiring a greater amount of psychic power to affect it or even granting it the ability to appear physically even to non-espers.

That excess of psychic energy that non-espers give off from daily life can also become a threat, as belief can mold it into a sentient creature, especially common among Urban Legends, which can become real if there's enough power and belief swirling around to allow it to form and sustain itself, allowing it to propagate by furthering it's own legend (even if destroyed, it'll eventually come back once there's sufficient power to re-form).

People expected another OPM meme show with "OMG HOW POWERFUL" typical fights, instead got a show about an actual teenager and with an unique art style.

Thus big part of the population that loved OPM will hate this.

I love this thing. Such a high quality product, such fluid, unique animation and art that suit so much manga and the narrative it goes. Music is also top notch, ost is godly and op and ed are pretty good. With the lovable cast and story I'm only jeezing when I see something I love, turning into something I love even more. Bones, I'm bowing before You Majestic Entity.

Like I could say so many things about the score being soooo low but it doesn't matter and funnily it illustrates how MAL community turned lately. I just hope it can sell and give manga boost. Please Japan, show me you have good taste.

ok episode, but I get the feeling that animation is far better than the actual work, and that is thanks to studio

episode was fun to watch, but no exactly funny that it made me laugh the entire time
last scene did have me laugh a lot, but I still expected it

I haven't seen what is supposed to be deep about this, we did get some character development and that's about it

I wouldn't call it bad, far from it, but it's neither especially good

Following his train of thought, joining the body improvement club instead was logical and expected. Yet, it was still very funny. XD

BTW, how many more episodes for mob explosion? they sure are building expectations, now I really want to see what happens then.

The score will get higher the more episodes come out because it will get better and better. I doubt it will beat OPM's score eventhough it's better than OPM.

The intentionally bad art probably isn't to most people's tastes.

Combine that with how highly subjective comedy is and this show is extremely hit or miss for most people.

Edit: Just looked at the score and 7.72 is not low, especially on MAL where is basically a black hole that most shows struggle to escape from.

Mob just wants to fall in love and hold hands with Tsubomi. I'm sure she's a closet bitch. Don't fall for her.

He was reading a One Punch Man manga in the library.

He werk't that skirt.

Now he's a member of the body improvement club. I hope he graduates with a John Cena-esque body someday.
