Alright, time for some perfectly balanced SEO that breaks the algorithm:
We can include terms like baby shark and pewdiepie to really broaden the audience and then spice it up with some among us and Minecraft crossed with the hit new youtube sensation that is rust on the OTV server featuring twitch funny moments from jackscepticeye. I also have to mention music, asmr and markiplier that are all important terms here on youtube. Let us not forget of course the makeup and fashion community by referencing shane dawson and james charles. Now whilst this is COMPLETE GIBBERISH to most an algorithm is able to pick out the specific key terms in this post and promote it accordingly. So lets support the Kpop stans by mentioning bts and lofi hip hop. We can even talk about some other big channels like mrbeast and dantdm. For some reason in 2020 some of the most searched tags are game of thrones and avengers endgame... Let us of course not forget the most important things of the year like dunke peppa pig and roblox!

Listening to this has made me realize something. I want to change, I need to, but I don’t. There are many things I need to change, many of my thoughts and feelings I need to unravel. I’ve been fighting a long time, Whether I knew it or not, I’ve been doing this a while. And I need to fix the problems. I’m going to try and fix it, become the me I love instead of a man that just copies others. Become more than just a 14 year old with Autism and no drive. Those don’t define me, what defines me is who I make myself. I’ll get back to you when or if I fix that. I just want you to know, thank you for this video.

Damn I feel like this is calling me out I have autism and no drive to do almost anything productive and am 15. There are things I want to change about myself I try to be more social but it just feels like I can’t and I just attempt to copy what it looks like everyone else does but fail miserably. It feels like the biggest thing that stops me is fear that the few friends I have with suddenly hate me and I’ll just come off as annoying if I try and say or do anything to start any conversation with them and I feel like like I will be judged by everyone else around me as well. It just feels like a terrible conflict where I want to be more social and try to be but the harder I try the more stressed I get over the fact that I can’t do it.

there is an vast amount of genre in anime. Mob psycho and one punch man has the same creator and this author has to do with '''psychology of self worth''' in his story. so its better to search an anime with that type of genre.

[@tryspinfootball7125]

Nahh id say it's probably because most anime have a different mindset to us western folk in most eastern cartoons the story is usually based around teamwork and friendship and the protagonist usually has a personality of working together to make the world a better place. Meanwhile in western cartoons it's pretty much based on one main character and what he has to do to accomplish his goals learning from his mistakes and protecting what's precious to him like Spiderman for example.

Rock Lee and Might Guy are the only strong characters that aren't born with some god like gift.

the relationships in mob psycho are so well written. the body improvement club consist of "strong" boys but never once they belittle mob. they support him all out. ritsu was jealous of mob's power, but not because he wants to be better than mob, but because mob was his "standard" in life, he looks up to him. with reigen, he didn't actually conned those people, he gave them alternative solutions. such an underrated anime.

You perfectly summed up why I fell in love with this anime. However, unlike you, I am already a fan of animes... But Mob Psycho 100 is clearly my favorite of all times ! Damn, I love this show, I love the characters, I love the story, I love it ! People don't often understand what makes this anime so amazing. They tell me "oh mob psycho? there are good fights, I appreciated the last fight with Toichiro Suzuki (the evil boss)". But, no, I mean, the fights are kinda good *but the show is about Mob trying NOT TO FIGHT.* He is constantly trying to talk, trying to resolve conflicts in a diplomatic way, he wants peace. So, when someone emphazises the importance of fights, I can't agree with them : Mob Psycho 100 is all about avoiding violence ! And especially about Mob wanting to be a better person - but you explained all of that very well. So I want to thank you for your analysis, you fully understood the potential of Mob Psycho, and all I can say is that if you don't like animes I'm super glad the one you liked is this one. It worths it. (and I sub :D)

If I can throw my two cents in. You have seemingly been attempting to watch the anime that's the most generic. I have a special place for One Piece in my heart due to personal reasons, however I know it's long winded and hard to get into. But anime isn't a genre, it's a medium. But because so many think of it as a genre, the only ones talked about are the longest "most populars". Which in any medium doesn't mean "the best" nor "the deepest". I tell people who I learn say "I hate anime" that "I can find an anime that you would love" because it's true. There is an anime for everyone, because anime is just a genre. I have already thought up several shows with strong character writing and development that's so realistic it makes me cry with ease. But I won't say "you should watch these." I'll wait, if you would like to hear a suggestion from a rando in your comments section, then please tell me ♡ otherwise. I cannot wait for your next video.

That's when Oda ran out of actually funny tropes, storylines making so little character development it seems like a filler, and for the anime, Toei Animation ruined the already mediocre one piece to bad. My favorite arc is the drum island arc, since it actually teaches an actually insightful life lesson, the humor in the arc was good, and art in the manga was the best in all of one piece. Before timeskip was one piece's peak, and after that it became the normal super saiyan trash stories every 8 year old likes.

Though, it’s a boxing anime, it praises hard work while reminding that hard work is not always rewarded. It’s realistic and motivational. The cast are also great, it’s funny and emotional.

The ones you mention getting burnt out on are ones that just... have not had anything to them that seemed worth it despite me seeing people talk about them everywhere. Mob Psycho 100, on the other hand, has cemented itself as one of my absolute favorite works of fiction, and I haven't tired of it even after watching through it at least 5 times (mostly coming back to it when I'm going through a bad place mentally). You touched on basically exactly everything I love about it in this video: the unique, stunning animation, the themes of growth, the lovable and believable characters, and those two particular scenes that make the simplest words hit like hammers. It uses its medium extremely well. If I may, another anime where I found its themes of growth to make an impact on me that I don't see anyone talking about here is A Place Farther Than The Universe. It has a very different tone from MP100, following some regular high school girls going on a trip to Antarctica, but I think it's another short (13 episodes) gem that's worth a watch. As a non-anime rec that I have to sneak in whenever I get the chance, everyone reading this comment go read Gunnerkrigg Court it's very good.

People often forget that Anime isn't a genre, its a medium. Within anime there are many different types of shows for different types of people. It seems like a lot of people always recommend the big shonen anime, because they have widespread appeal, but certain types of people won't like that kind of show. There are many other anime similar to Mob Psycho, that have really good character development. There are shows that are completely different. If theres anything to remember here, its that you need to consider the fact that people don't have the same tastes as you when recommending them something, so when you do recommend them something, you need to find a good gateway show.

[@Keizor1997]

As someone who struggles with self-identity it is shows like this that really resonate with me and show me simple but profound things about life. Things like being special is what makes your life harder, not easier, is one of the things that sounds true enough, but realising and internalising it is another matter entirely. If you enjoy the kind of shows that has a message about self-improvement then I recommend Re:Zero. It's way less fun and way more... Suffering. The main character suffers for all his shortcomings greatly and, eventually, overcomes them. Pretty much the whole point of Re:Zero is "Sin vs Virtue" where MC is presented with choosing one over the other, and the right choice isn't always obvious. Show is very dark and at times depressing to watch, but it never fails at reeling you in with constant bombardment of intrigue.

You should really watch Jojos bizzare advanture (the name speaks for itself) . And mayby watch rainbow nisha robokou no shinchinin. It is a show I've never seen something similar too. It is heartbreaking and depressing and sometimes it's wholesome and heartwarminf

When it comes to anime, there are always short animes which genuinely shine and amuses us.

[@carrot6155]

Mob showed me that it's ok to be you as long as you don't hurt others and also helped me realize just how much more I have to learn about myself and others

[@oriondezagrats4228]

Months late, but here's my assessment: You're looking at shonen stuff, primarily designed to be long and drawn-out, as well as not particularly complicated. One Piece is by far one of the most well-written Shonens, but it IS still a shonen, and the slow pacing that defines even its manga is only drawn out further still by the anime. You might be looking for more cerebral, experimental stuff. Try checking out Masaaki Yuasa's "Kaiba". It's full of great feels and an imaginative, but broken world.

[@earlyworm9442]

Death note’s a good place to start

[@bez4585]

When you showed that scene with Regein I literally cried. Mob psycho was one my fav anime and I tried to get other people to watch it but they said that the “art style” and “animation” was “weird” (it really made me mad lol).One more thing even tho I’m not trynna force you to watch anime and ok not to like it I’m going to be honest and say you kinda only seem like your watching shonen anime which a lot of people associate as all anime which it’s not. Great video, it reminded me of how much I love mob psycho 100! This show deserves the appreciation you gave it.

[@kangdide]

As someone who loves one piece with their hearts content I dont blame you for stopping early, it doesnt really get q great arc till around episode 40, and the 3rd arc is a real drag.not to mention the anime gets some really horrible pacing and animation issues later on making it sorta unwatchable to a point where you might as well read the colored manga.

[@MONEYstar02]

When I watched one piece, it took me 5-6 months to finish. I watched an average 9-10 episodes a day because I had school and nothing else. Though I did take breaks that lasted a week or 2. Honestly it’s really hard to get into one piece because of it’s the amount of episodes, it can feel repetitive, stretched to hell and (I’ll admit) a bit boring at times. Advice to anyone, 1-4 episodes a day if you want to catch up in about a year or 1-2 episodes in 2 or more years.

[@gezebelle1307]

I vastly prefer the manga for pacing reasons

[@Userdoesnotexit]

[@OfficialEdwardNewgate]

@@Userdoesnotexit i can tell you dont read one piece

[@erois6190]

@@Userdoesnotexit Thats just the arc structure. Theres so much more going on in these arcs. Different themes, characters,drama, conflict (even between the strawhats). And of course not all arcs follow that structure. Water 7 and Ennies Lobby are about saving a crewmate from the Government, in Sabaody the Strawhats are forcibly disbanded and the slave trade remains in that island , Impel Down is a big jail break , Marineford is a giant war involving almost every major player in the OP world etc. You can find a certain pattern to most stories but it's what the author does within these patterns that differentiates a repetitive story to a non -repetitve one.

Reigen is such an interesting character. Other characters are loveable too. Love the message of kindness and the importance of community as well. Eventho mob is so strong but reigen sometimes reminds him it's ok to run away and ask for help

[@essenceale4592]

Finally a commentary youtuver that's not extremely pretentious

[@killkatgaming]

Funny, both Mob and one punch man are the same creator. With same plot if being super powerful. Except where one is bored with his power, the other is terrified of it and is hell-bent on controlling it

[@killkatgaming]

They also both have mentors who are powerless but are extremely powerful in there own right.

[@jackdotzler6115]

I don’t want to say you’re looking in the wrong places, but the bigger shonen titles don’t exactly exhibit the raw creative direction that some other writers have. A personal favorite of mine is Land of the Lustrous, another beautifully (CGI) animated anime that really emphasizes the development of the main character Phos and some of the other supporting characters. The dynamic nature of Phos is reflected in the sometimes drastic sometimes subtle changes to her appearance that really is just brilliant. I think you’d really love the show for its themes, characters, animation, and cinematography. It’s only one season that doesn’t finish the story but I think it’s worth it to watch.

[@fernandoc5536]

^^^ This show.

[@Noimnotathing]

This really is a beautifully done analysis of one of my favorite shows ever. I’m glad I watched it because there are things I’ve never thought of watching it over three times

[@LRAStartFox]

The problem with shows like one piece and naruto is that they release an episode per week. The have to cut lots of corners in animation and add lots of filler to make one episode per week feasible. It really just drags the quality of the shows down, regardless of how good the source material is. Those really aren't the shows people would recommend to people to get into anime. Shows that are high quality like one punch man season 1, mob psycho, and kaguya-sama are shows that I'd recommend to anyone because I see them as objectively good shows, and not just good anime.

[@Arrddaa]

It honestly sounds like it's just Shonen anime you've tried, have you tried psychological anime like Death note or Another?

[@frickinfrick8488]

Mob getting real buds over the course of the show that are supportive and caring was great. I didn’t expect this show to be as wholesome as it is, it’s really nice to see a show that promotes things like kindness and and self improvement. There’s a lot of shonen that glorify strength and intelligence so it’s oddly refreshing to just see a protagonist be good because he’s a good person above his godlike powers.

[@zarathustra7291]

The problem here is that you conflate anime and shonen action. Not all anime is like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and One Piece. I personally despise those shows, and I think if I'd watched them as my first exposure I'd never have become a fan of anime either. But anime isn't a singular thing you know, it's like saying you don't like films because you don't like children's action movies. Obviously those two things aren't the same. If you want my recommendation, I'd seriously check out some more grown up shows with more depth. You might like Attack on Titan, since it's probably the closest to those shonen shows while being far from it. Otherwise I'd recommend Monster, if you like a realistic setting, complex characters and development, as well as complex Cold War / post World War II themes. Or Paranoia Agent, and Perfect Blue, if you like psychological exploration and horror. There are more I could list but those I think would show you the less childish side of anime.

[@dinogt8477]

do you like original dragon ball? it isnt like z

[@watashinihayumegaarimasu7609]

Don't mix up One Piece with normal Shounen, One Piece is the best shounen, even better than Hunter x Hunter.

[@003mohamud]

I've stopped watching Jujutsu Kaisen and I realized that I have grown out of watching Shounen, or at least the typical kind as I still love HxH. After watching so much anime I kinda got bored of the formulaic plot. Even with Isekais, it has to be one with very good writing or at least something special to separate it from the pack. I've started watching more slice of life, although I will never touch moe(except for a few exceptions like with Yuru Camp). I still consider myself a weeb and watch lots of seasonal shows, I think I've just become more selective in what I watch.

[@vp7877]

I'm pretty sure you can't get into anime because a lot of the ones you've tried are shonen (for teens). It could also be just the cultural differences or the way anime is written idfk

10:35 the equivalent to saying this is like saying "I can't understand why I can't get into cartoons. There's nothing wrong with cartoons, from a technical standpoint. I tried multiple times to watch Bugs Bunny, Popeye the Sailor Man and other shows." Do you see how dumb that sounds? Did Mob Psycho not make you realize that you can't judge an entire medium based off a couple shows? There are multiple genres of anime, just like there are multiple genres to cartoons. You judged an entire medium of storytelling based off of the "action" genre that you don't like, while ignoring every other single one.

[@ScaryGirlzz]

I’ve always felt so attached to mob :) I was always willing to open my choices and stop being so stuck in my own bubble. I was socially Awkward and I was willing to put my mind into anything even though I lacked the social skills. So when I watched the anime I was happy because it was so comforting and it made me realize that not only am I willing to put myself out there but there are people who are there for me. The only way I see their actions is kindness and I’m willing to do the same for them. Lol I’m glad I stumbled across this video I can’t stress how much I want ppl to watch mp100 >:)

[@PepeOPT1]

I love anime tbh, idc if its considered "good" or "bad", I like what I like and I fight for it and Idc what other people say; I usually don't recommend anime to people because it has such a different style of writing, but sometimes these shows just transcend the word "anime" and are just pure art. My favorite one rn is definetely Made in Abyss, both the show and the movie. It's hard to put into words how Made in Abyss manages to show child innocence and curiosity and at the same time be one of the most horrifying and gut-wrenching experiences I've ever experienced on a screen, mixed with the amazing art-style/animation and the beautiful and powerful OST by Kevin Penkin, 100% recomend this to everyone who can handle it.

I love the fact tha mob thinks of himself as a person who can grow instead of a person who thinks the world should follow his ideologies, the fight against the claw boss in another way is basically mob fighting himself if he were to think of himself as some king of the world.

[@alispie]

Mob Psycho is definitely the show that got me more into anime. After I watched it I finally watch FMA Brotherhood, Attack on Titan, and a bunch of others to the point where I'm watching 4 shows as they air every week this season. Honestly I used anime to fill the void of creative works building and storytelling that the latter seasons of Game of Thrones left behind.

[@zrkn45]

Most anime stories have the MC's goal set towards beating a main villain or becoming the most powerful/influential or whatever you may call it ,people often joke about friendship and the "journey" but I don't think anyone does the actual journey of a character like Mob . It doesn't matter if fight scenes are spoiled for you,the point of the anime isn't Mob vs Enemies. It's Mob vs Mob , it's the actual journey of self discovery for Mob and Reigen and other characters.

[@okaburger3771]

legit same, ive always found myself never being able to finish a show series whether it be anime or a cartoon or actual film. however mob psycho was different for me, i really enjoyed the animation, the plot and story, the interesting characters and all of their personalities and development. it truly is a beautiful anime.
