This show is pretty okay.

Ritsu got his rear end beat down, Mob got to be fuckin' sick, Reigen is still the best character, good times all around.

Reigen is still the best, yep. Everyone has their favorite parts they want to see animated it seems, and mine is coming up in the next two episodes. I can't wait.

subtitles weren't up, watched it anyway, still the best

plus now I get to watch it again

For those if you watching on crunchyroll, for some reason the subs never load if you have the window open during the countdown. They're still actually there, though, so all you gotta do is reload the page real quick as soon as it starts.

Usually that's the case, but sometimes it does take them a while to get the subs up. The animation is so good and I knew what they were saying since I've read the manga, so I didn't mind. I rarely rewatch episodes of any show, but Mob Psycho 100 is endlessly rewatchable.

I just wanna know what kind of insane deal with the devil you have to cut to get animation this impressive, 8 episodes in to a show that's already had this many crazy show-off sequences. The use of squash/stretch and smears on that sequence where Mob was getting beat up blew my loving mind - literally one of the most solid-feeling fights I've ever seen in anime.

I like how the mohawk dude managed to scrape a win despite the colossal gap in power. It introduces another layer of tension. The Teru fight showed us that Mob's power isn't entirely a force for good, while this one showed us that it isn't entirely invincible.

Even when our boy starts getting more complete control of his powers, he's still going to have a rough road ahead of him.

Despite Mob's overwhelming power when an explosion happens, he's not a good fighter. In that fight he was just slamming mohawk dude down with sheer brute force, and the guy won by fighting more intelligently than Mob was. His lack of combat experience is compounded by the way he's basically a berserker when he's like that.

Reigen loving owns. Right at the start he seems like a regular old swindler, but despite being a fake who can't actually see spirits it doesn't really matter because most of the spirit related problems people come to him with...aren't. They're just regular problems like stress. He gives them mundane solutions that really do work, but he dresses them up in mysticism. And when there really are evil spirits around, he has Mob. There's always going to be people who think there's a supernatural cause to their problems and refuse to seek a mundane answer, so it's actually pretty clever of him to fulfill that role for them.

I rarely comment on stuff like this, but holy poo poo is this show good. I have to wonder how this is affecting One though, since it seems like ever since OPM and Mob became animated his work output has slowed to a trickle. I hope he knows how to use his narrative powers responsibly, and doesn't let his (well deserved) success overwhelm him...

One explosion... 78%...

One may be like the guy in Bakuman who could only work when he was totally miserable, and when things started going his way his editor couldn't motivate him at all.

Also hell yeah that full OP is righteous.

might be a similar deal to OPM, called "a really good story making animators extremely motivated"

Yeah, ONE's work is apparently incredibly popular within people working in the industry so there's a lot of motivation to make the adaptations of his work high quality.

Makes sense, particularly with Mob Psycho. Animators love animating. There are usually two types of "good" animation: the first is the kind that stays super on-model and is very technical and looks really pretty, which requires a lot of precise control.

The second is the one that splatters colors and smears and dirty and is all over the place and is "fun" to draw explicitly because it is so freeform and doesn't require characters to stay on-model. ONE's works fit perfectly with this style because, well, that's his style.

TIME TO ROC N' ROLL
ONE's art is so bare bones it gives everyone the opportunity to put their own stamp on it. And the story is so good it makes everyone want to see it shine. In an industry were so much is already laid out, that kind of opportunity must be really attractive.

Reigen's scene was not only awesome, but a welcome relief from the intensity of the rest of the episode.

Overall: holy poo poo this is anime epitomized.

Their personalities are almost completely opposite, though. And berserk super modes are a very common anime trope. Actually, not even just an anime trope; one could just as easily say that Mob is basically Bruce Banner.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
So I started the manga awhile back but never made it past the chapter after the Teru fight, so while I knew it was awesome and had every intention of continuing other stuff jumped ahead on the priority list. Then I saw the anime announcement and just said gently caress it I'll wait for that.

I think I'm starting to understand where the "mob is better than OPM" sentiment was coming from back when that was airing and when Murata's version was more timely/less filler-y.

One of the things i love about of Mob Psycho is watching how various Espers try to find validation and fulfillment via their superpowers and showing how hollow really leaves them.

This Episode alone has a grown rear end man beating the snot out of teenagers (punks yes) and taking his time to flaunt and ravel in the power gap between them. Just like how mobs own brother was doing not five minutes earlier.



Now to just sit-back, relax, and watch what happens next. :suspense:
