Just came to say that I love this show. So very much. I started watching it just a week ago and tried my very best to only watch one episode per day to evenly space out with the weekly schedule, but soon enough we were hitting the latest episodes that were just so good and... couldn't resist watching the rest of them last night, right up to the "HOLY MOLEY" reveal. I even somehow managed to get my boyfriend to watch this show with me and he likes it, being a person who absolutely detests slow-paced, weak world-building anime. He's into this as well now. I'm so happy this series exists. HelloWinter fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Sep 13, 2016 |

There's absolutely a good reason why Murata begged to redraw Ones earlier work. He's really good at what he does well.

Slime posted:Oh poo poo, Mob's going to get hit with Salt Splash. The song listing all those special moves didn't include it as a joke, it's a 100% real special move! Reigen doesn't know any "fake" special moves.

Reigen's moves might not be psychic, but they are all definitely special.

If the whole thing with Reigan turns out to be the most perfect example of "Cassandra Truth" of all time I'll flip my lid. It might actually give Mob a reason beyond naivety as to why he follows Reigan around.

Was literally writing a post saying how funny it'd be if Reigen was as strong as he pretended while the credits played and then that happened

Moltrey posted:i dont understand this post So it's pretty obvious to me that Reigen pretends to be less powerful than he actually is so as not to terrify the small fry or regular humans. He pretends to be the world's strongest esper but is in fact the world's strongest esper (even more so).

Except he's a cool and strong adult figure in Mob's life that actively helps him and gives him a strong moral backbown to lean on, even if it's coming from a con man. Reigan is a good dad to Mob.

In the closing credits it is in sepia for the whole thing until the very end when colour starts seeping in as soon as Reigen touches Mob's shoulder.

It is interesting to me how little parents are involved in the story. I don't think they were even given faces. Anyone who has family ties seems to only focus on their siblings.

We have met them twice and they have faces and distinct personalities. The mam complains about Mob bending spoons and the dad thinks espers will be espers.

Just saw the latest episode. In some ways it's more of a straight shonen battle manga storyline than Mob usually is (the protagonists go to an enemy base to rescue a friend, everyone gets split up, they get into one-on-one fights with the enemy organization's high-ranking members), but it stands out by being much faster paced than the arcs in Bleach, Reborn, etc. with similar plot structures. I'm interested in seeing where they go with that cliffhanger. Maybe Reigen is such a good con artist that he make espers imagine he has a powerful aura? Or the Claw leader is Reigen's identical twin brother? (Everyone seems to have a brother in this show.)

Also the student council president had that rear end in a top hat older brother. I wonder if/when we're coming back to them, on that tangent. The president's home situation and what happened at the school and all are wrong on so many levels, so I hope at least some of those things are resolved after we finish up with Claw.

And then the follow up trope: Support-characters are less powerful, making them the actual drama pieces in the show as they attempt to overcome obstacles at perilous risk.

Albeit Mob lacks just enough experience that eventually he trips over his own feet and snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Same general tropes, yeah, but Mob can actually go down as we saw in this episode. He's got overwhelming power but he doesn't always know how to use it correctly and can be caught off-guard. So it's a bit different in that regard.

Yeah, there are definitely similarities between the two works, but he is obviously going for a character arc for the protagonist in MP100. OPM was more of a worldbuilding story than a story about the protagonist.

OPM has a lot of great secondary characters, like King or Metal Bat but it has no Reigen. Reigen is a gift from ONE to lesser mortals.

I mean I haven't read the manga but it seems that knocking mob out is just a way to progress the story. It feels like a repeat because the author already did this with the brother being stolen: mob gets into a fight and 'loses' just enough for the plot to move forward before actually decimating the guy because he was holding back before. Though I'll be pleasantly surprised if Mob actually remains powerless and the supporting cast solves the issue, perhaps secret god-king Reigen will do it.

I feel like the ideas in the stories are very different and the nature of how they treat their incredible strength. Saitama wants to find an outlet for his but Mob is more concerned with controlling it and not letting it control his life.

Mob is a middle schooler while Saitama is a grown rear end adult, and the differences in each series are mostly derived from that one distinction. So while Mob is concerned with getting the cute red headed girl to notice him, Saitama is concerned with getting to the grocery store before the sale ends so he can stretch his budget that much farther. And while Mob is continuing to develop himself through his interactions with his friends/enemies and family, Saitama is more fully self confident and self-actualized--which, given how mature most of the other heroes are, leads to them learning from him. This is might explain why there isn't an obvious Reigan equivalent in OPM.

OPM was more of a worldbuilding story than a story about the protagonist. Yeah MP100 being a coming-of-age story sets the whole thing down a different path than OPM. Both characters have overwhelming strength, but while Mob hasn't mastered his, Saitama has. Saitama had an advantage because his powers aren't tied up with his emotional maturity.
