From that last tangent, you would wonder why I said that this show is good, and these next two categories are why. The art and animation of this series are just fantastic. All of the characters have unique and memorable designs, the animation is fluid and colorful. It's just great to look at. The music in this series is also great. The OP of this series is great. No matter how little I cared about the story of this series, I always got hyped to watch some more just because of the opening alone. 10 for art and 9 for sound.
Now back to the things I didn't like, the characters. Starting with the protagonist, Mob. He's just too OP. There's no stakes in any of his fights because you know he'll win. I hate characters like these, because they feel completely unrealistic. This is very similar to Saitama from One Punch Man, who, as I mentioned, was written by the same person. However, while I wasn't a fan of the fights involving Saitama, I enjoyed it because Saitama was just a fun character to watch. He's funny and his voice actor really puts a lot of emotion into his lines. Mob is not that. He's bland, and feels like he has no emotion at all. It just baffles me that the author can do a character right one time and then do the same character totally wrong the next time. Moving on, the villains in this series are not interesting in the slightest. They are not given enough screen time to make them memorable, which wouldn't be a problem, if I liked watching the protagonist. Some of you might not like me comparing these two shows again, but it helps me show what I'm talking about. One Punch Man also had some very unmemorable villains, simply because they didn't really have any time to develop, show their motivations or become engaging to watch in their own right. However, it wasn't as big of a problem in that series because I enjoyed watching Saitama so much. I don't like watching Mob, and because we focus on him instead of spending time trying to make the villains interesting, I'm just stuck there waiting for the episode to end without anything interesting. Well, there are some things that are interesting. Namely, the mentor figure, Reigen. The show quickly establishes that Mob and Reigen's student-teacher relationship is completely backwards, which is often played for laughs (although this does stop being funny after the second time), but I really did like Reigen's character. He's fun to watch, he has some of the best lines in the show and he's shown to be very insightful and kind towards the end of the season. There are more characters I could go into, but I mostly felt either neutral towards them or just disliked them. Since I can't remember another character I actually liked right now, I'll just move on. I'll give this section a 4/10.
This show was honestly quite boring to sit through. While I enjoyed rocking out to the OP and watching the incredible animation (especially during fight scenes), that was not enough to save this show for me. The style of humor this show goes for gets old quickly (although I did laugh quite a few times), and it just doesn't quite engage me as well as I had hoped the same person who gave us One Punch Man would. I'll give this another 4 for enjoyment.
Overall, this show was just not for me. I can appreciate the series' incredible animation and music, but I can't say that the rest is anything special. The show is average at best. If you're looking for something that's just really nice to look at, I'd say this is a great candidate, but if you are looking for something more than that, I'd just say go rewatch One Punch Man (I know that I compared this show to OPM a lot and not everyone is okay with that, but the two shows are just very similar so it helps me show why I was disappointed by Mob Psycho 100).
