Seeing Serizawa getting a job as at Reigen's office at the end of this season brought a tear to my eye. My favorite character.

[@DreamManmns]

You know, the girl in episode one not showing up bothered me a lot at first but you got me on that good shit Nate. Doing good things and expecting nothing in return is the backbone of society and these characters not showing up really reflects that.

Moreover, you may never see the results of your good deeds, but you can make a change in the world even if it doesn't seem like it to you.

[@willwallz]

GenerallyBananas I already draw, and frequently enough to which I’m proud of a lot of my recent work. So I think a better demand would be, “go improve at art,” which is much more powerful on a deeper level, I feel. I was sort of wasting my time really late at night and just looking for something to do at the time, after watching the video I went straight to sleep. I hope that clarifies my mindset.

[@Sakaki98]

Lain And he did, which is why he’s here watching “some actually entertaining content” instead of that Digibro video. Gotta love the smartasses who don’t actually think before they speak.

[@LimeyLassen]

This show is like the alchemical opposite of shows like Magical Girl Site. Getting older I've lost my taste for power fantasies and suffering porn. Stuff like Mob Psycho is what keeps my heart beating.

[@Edible_Kittens]

Could not stop grinning like a mandman throughout this video due to the sheer force of energy BGE exerts on screen. Anyone feel me on this?

[@brendandangelo715]

Man, after season 1 aired I read the manga because I enjoyed the show so much. They weren't announcing a season 2 for a while, and I got nervous that so many great scenes would never make it to animation. Then Season 2 rolled around and I thought "Oh, no. Are they actually going to do it right?" Then Episode 1 dropped and I teared up and said, "Why do we deserve such perfection?" While I would argue that Episode 7 is the emotional highlight of the series, I will give episode 1 credit for being just as amazingly charming. Now we just have to wait for those OVAs and a proper ending to the series (which actually follows up on many of the themes you presented here and even more stuff. I cannot wait to see more BROCCOLI). Also, anyone and everyone who has watched season 2 should rewatch the first OP for those sweet sweet references.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Brendan D'Angelo wait they are releasing OVAs for the last arcs? How many ovas are we getting

[@brendandangelo715]

@@Dell-ol6hb To answer your questions in order: kinda and around 4. There will be new Mob psycho OVAs coming out BUT they will be entirely new side stories. Good news is that these stories are being written by ONE himself, so we expect that there will be little to no inconsistencies with the rest of the adaption. Furthermore, these OVAs are likely to be based on bonus chapters for the series. One such possible side story is one for Emi and here novel writing that already exists. So, yeah, OVAs coming out not sure when. Last I heard it was late Fall, but I think it has been pushed back since then...

[@LieThePenguin]

honestly whats super interesting between the season 1 and 2 OPs are how many fucking parallels there actually are with them and how they are laid out. I wont give away all of it, but there are scenes within both OPs that are very similar yet slightly different to show the parallels between mob for both seasons, or they have scenes that represent a similar scene from the shows themselves, but for their respective season. The only one I'll give away I thought was nifty is that both OP's show an iconic visual from the climatic final battle. Seaosn 1's shows the "eye" in the sky in the OP, but its also the exact same as the glimpse of the sky/moon that occurs during the final battle once the claw base was destroyed mostly. Then season 2 shows the giant ball of buildings in it. There are a handful of other parallels and it just makes me love that they put just as much fucking effort into crafting the OP's as they did the fucking show itself.

[@brendandangelo715]

@@LieThePenguin Exactly! The theming for the 2 are amazing. I wanted to point out some of my favorites below as well (spoilers?): In the first opening Mob, Reigen, and Teru are seen rotating on Ferris wheels -> in the second Serizawa(umbrella man) and Shou are seen on the exact same Ferris wheels. Both openings are loops. If you were to make a gif of each opening, each would be seamless. BROCCOLI. I had to add it. Too much fun to add it.

[@jerrellteo893]

I am glad you took the time to write this amazing essay. This show packs so much emotion and you expressed it BEAUTIFULLY, truly a modern classic.

[@ileanabriannemari]

Indeed

[@Achalacha]

Super video with a great analysis. The show is awesome 10/10, it has very good messages that can make people think about themselves and improve themselves in conclusion. A world where every person has compassion, self improvement attitude and humility would be a great world that nothing can stop. I will share this video to my friend and hope they watch it.

[@ReddTurtl]

Have you tried convincing them first? Showing the video first would provide spoilers and possibly diminish the initial emotional reaction they feel from certain scenes. Sometimes I make deals with friends to get them to watch shows if they're reluctant, telling them I'll watch one of their favorite shows if they'll watch mine.

[@Achalacha]

@@ReddTurtl Yes, it's true. they need to watch the show first for sure. But I think this video is a nice addition with a great analysis on a great show. Yeah the idea of deal is interesting. But the last time I finally convinced friends to watch Made In Abyss but they didn't understand the motivation of the characters and now they really dislikes it because of misunderstanding ( same for Evangelion...) I hope It will not happen this time

[@-dash.]

Awww I didn't even notice the little details from Mob's bookshelf, that is so sweet :~:

[@SonOfTheNorthe]

Holy shit I fucking love you Nate. You are truly a shining light, a beacon of hope to those who are lost or afraid. Your positivity helps me grow. Slowly, but you've planted seeds in me. I'm depressed, and I might need medication to fix it, but you help me manage it. You made me want to work out. I got a gym membership because you inspired me. I cancelled it because I didn't go enough, but me willingly going out of my way to try to improve myself, was a huge step forward for me. I failed, but I tried. And if I can make a first attempt, I can make a second one. And a third. Until i succeed. Thank you Nate, thank you Ben, than you Jess and Gibbon and Mage and Munchy and Digi and Tom, and also my best friend Jasmine for every little seed you've all planted in me. It's inspiring to see you guys work hard on your art and to see you work towards your dreams. It's a tough climb, crawling out this pit, but seeing you all work so hard gives me handholds to help me climb. Seeing you guys just be friends talking about whatever bullshit in the PCP podcasts is a wholesomeness that nourishes me. Just that raw friendly energy. Please, all of you, stay friends for life.

[@rodrigo68643]

Thank you! I also loved the 1st ep I think is the best one! But I got to admit, I would love to see Emi again, I agree that it's good that the show doesn't turn into a harem, but if she could just apear here and there and maybe she and mob could interact a little bit I would be incredibly happy, not gonna lie

[@harrybach7348]

In my opinion your best video man. Mob is my favorite show and I especially really appreciated your focus on Season 2 Episode 1. Felt that it was an really special episode and appreciate how you basically put those feelings into words. Keep up the good work man

[@vonnallencortez8686]

I don't even wanna watch episode 1 again, cause the experience I had watching that for the first time is so precious, that I don't want it to be tainted by fact that I already know what happens. I'd rather preserve the sensation that I got from the first time that I watched it, and the memory of it might not be the most coherent now, but atleast the contentment that I felt is still as pure as the first time that I saw episode 1.

[@guanglaikangyi6054]

This video really motivated me to get off my ass and start improving myself. You know, I always thought getting a girlfriend would boost my self confidence and get me to be a better person, but Nate and Mob Psycho 100 showed me I got that the other way arround. I should be working on my appeareance, health and social skills first and then seek out romantic fulfillment or even existential fulfillment for that matter. I don't even know why I'm commeting this, but BGE, if you're actually reading this, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[@awarmcomfybed]

I really appreciate this video Nate, it touches on all the key things that I love about mob and I'm glad you can spread the word for this amazing series. I have a couple gripes with the second season, but that was just me having a preconceived notion of what I wanted it to be, being a manga reader. This video helped me actually realize that this is exactly that, the anime of Mob Psycho, not anything else, I just wanted to say thanks.

[@freddytheshadowninja]

AAAAAUGH! You barely talked about Mogami at all, and he's one of the biggest deals of the series!

[@YoursTruely1417]

Thank you for putting the music in the description! I’ve been looking for the song that played at the end of episode 1 ever since it came out! Also the video was great!

21:16 freaking HIT ME with the ED song!!!!!

[@kabukiblooki]

I will be honest with you Your first video of the 2 is the reason I watched mob phyco and waited...love your stuff

[@Notorious_Grey]

One of my favorite moments from the show was when Mob finally emoted happiness with his psychic powers. This situation clashes with this idea that Mob just needs to get angry enough like Gohan to show his true power, which I enjoy.

[@3rdrick]

My favorite moments have to be, Reigns Flashback to meeting Mob, and When Musashi expresses how Mob's determination gives the whole body improvement club courage was so deep. Don't get me wrong, at many times during this, I felt like crying, but those 2 really stood out to me.

[@TheCiprianG]

Amazing break down of an AMAZING series. Thanks a lot, I appreciate the effort and Love put into the video. Enjoyed it properly.

[@TheCiprianG]

And by "Enoyed it properly", I meant that as you were breaking down the metaphors in this Anime, I was also looking back on my own Life, as well as looking forwards, and integrating them. Thanks again.

[@shadydesu]

won't lie, teared up at Bestman getting emotional over S2E1. I remember reading that part in the manga sometime after S1 and getting just as teary-eyed, but the anime really took it to the next level. the wait between the seasons was well worth it for that scene alone imo.

[@dan70338]

OMG I didn't notice the bookshelf when I first watched it. That's awesome.

[@SpookeyGael]

this show is honestly just amazing. ONE is a fantastic writer, and I can't wait until he writes more of the onepunch man webcomic (if he wants to, that is)

[@LieThePenguin]

Whats even crazier is you should rewatch season one after season two. A lot of "seeds" are sowed a bunch throughout season 1 for everything that transpired through season 2. I rewatched it as I was showing Mob psycho to a few of my friends who arent really anime watchers(They absolutely loved it. Even my one buddy who was saying at the start "If I dont like it I'm just gonna leave alright." ). And I kept having jaw drop moments/realizations through a lot of season 1. The biggest two were likely in relation to the final episode and then the climax scene of the reigen arc. Season 1 shows you the interaction of mob meeting reigen through mobs perspective while the climax of the reigen arc shows it to you from Reigens perspective. So during MOBs fight with Cactus boi, when he loses control in the end its noted that he begins to literally steal cactus boi's psychic power before completely deconstructing his school. Also in the final fight of season 1 with the 100% gratitude and reigen gaining psychic powers from mob briefly. Well thats the introduction to his ability to "share" the psychic energy from others. But the show never really specifies it as anything that special in either occasion outside of reigen having powers briefly. So much of the show is so organically done that it makes sense whether you realized it or not and I find that fucking amazing. How fucking well everything weaves together and honestly watching the first season again after originally finishing the second then rewatching the second as well after was just a fucking EYE opener for how well crafted it all is. Just like how they turned the gag moment of mob being given broccoli seeds into a massive plot point for the finale. Thats how the show gets you a lot, a lot of the "comedic" moments are actually very important, but you pay them no mind as they are shown as just some comedic moment. I also wanted to add for them feels and stuff, anyone notice reigen was a heavy fucking smoker prior to meeting mob. And then during the series(outside of the season 1 ED) we never see him smoke.

[@thecapitalisticdictator2256]

I give props to ONE for writing 2 series and each of those series becoming a modern classic. I hope he makes another modern classic!

[@MrArbaras]

Glad you mentioned One Punch Man. Very interested in hearing some opinions on S2. I rewatched the full S1 over the weekend just to remind myself what it looked like, and I don't know if I can keep watching the new season with the way it looks now. I can't recall a single impressive looking shots, but I can name a couple very egregious animation errors off the top of my head. I've seen the opinion that people are just spoiled on the old season and this one isn't bad being expressed a lot, and honestly I'm starting to think it's the other way around. I think people have gotten so used to shitty low-tier animation quality that they will eat anything up and ask for more.

[@fuwariii]

I feel it too man. I don’t really care about the downgrade in animation cause it’s to be expected from all the news. The problem i have is it feels like the episode was rushed. Feels like they want to rush through the stuff with King before reintroducing us to Saitama and Genos first. It’s like the 5/4 years gap between the seasons didn’t happen. Oh and it doesn’t work when binging it also with the way they ended season 1 (with Genoses narration and everything). Not saying that I don’t like King. I’ve read the manga and it’s honestly one of the best stuff in OPM. The first episode didn’t really ease the viewer in like Mob’s season 2 opener.

[@acrophis]
