[@Lucas-yt3st]

I love how the show's main focus isn't about becoming powerful, it's about mental health and dealing with things like anxiety. That alone is a huge contributor of this show becoming my favourite anime as well.

[@ignoremypaststupidity2719]

This is wrong. It’s about becoming strong in your own way and overcoming your hardships. Mob dosnt think he’s above people because of his powers because he was born with them. He dosntywant today he considered better than other people because of something he was born with so he works his hardest to become better at other things. Mental health is a semi large part but that’s part of the focus of becoming strong.

[@kreatona4219]

I personally believe the show is about change and how people can change themselves

[@User-zx6tt]

I think this is the development of mobs personality and how he grows mentally, ONE is the best writer try to change my mind

[@tanjiroukamado5766]

Mob Psycho is honestly better than 90% of media out there, animated or not. Better than most live action shows. The comedic timing is perfection and the feels always land, it never lets you forget that it's a coming-of-age story for an emotionally repressed boy with one of the most unique plotline out there, not a shitty wish fulfillment hero fantasy. It's a masterpiece and I wish people who are just getting obsessed with animated shows and non-anime fans can get the chance to watch it at least once in their lifetime. Just imagine if newbies and normies who only discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender also knew about the brilliance of Mob Psycho.

As a kid on the spectrum, along with other percieved issues, I've always had issues with my emotions and empathy. Though I've worked hard to not be socially awkward, Mob has spoken to me very deeply since season one. Whether on purpose or by accident this show speaks to my autistic nature in a way that shows actually about autism fail to do. This show is very special to me, its hard to really speak in words the many reasons that I think its one of the most important anime of all time.

I remember being absolutely astonished during the final arc of season one when Reigen talked all of those Claw grunts out of being villainous just by pointing out how cruel their actions were. In almost any other story that approach would get a character laughed at and then brutally murdered, which always makes me sad because it says some very nasty things about people who are kind and hopeful and the capacity for people who do bad things to change for the better. And what astonished me even more was that the show maintained that sympathetic approach with every stronger subsequent villain. There was never a point where someone was strong enough and evil enough that being kind and wanting people to change became a weakness.

Mob psycho has made me cry and laugh more than almost any anime. While others have given me access to wells of feeling I didn't know I had, Mob Psycho is something I can relate to. The characters, their repression, their growth. To quote the chief editor in Bakuman, "manga just has to be good, good manga gets published." Mob Psycho is good.

okay seriously, mob psycho 100 is the one and only piece of media i can truly say it change me for the best. first of all, the anime came out when i was struggling with my autism and i just started college which was a huge change for me. i needed to be a productive member of society and i didn't know how to. then i watch mob and i learn that even by my difference, and even if it can hurt people sometime, i'm still a person. not to ignore those issue or embrace it, but to view it as something to offer and control, to become a helpful member of society with it or despise of it. Mob psycho is one of the best coming of age anime and it as super power people fighting each other. what more do you need!!!!

[@gabrielsantiago3016]

Giant mecha's doing galactic-sized battles, that's what it's missing! Hahaha, just my excuse to shoe in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

For having such strong comedic elements (not sure I would full on call it a comedy) Mob Psycho is amazingly deep and touches on so many issue with a kind of freshness and honesty that makes it an absolute treat to watch. It sounds silly to say that my life is better for having watched a tv show, especially an anime, but I have no hesitations saying it about Mob Psycho. Work hard, improve yourself, be a good person, that is all.

you know how every good anime has that one episode that sticks with you and fundamentally changes something about you or how you see the world? yeah that's literally EVERY EPISODE of mp100 season 2 so far (not that season 1 wasn't also incredible!). i keep thinking it can't possibly get better but every episode feels like a very loving punch to the gut and makes me want to be a better, kinder, stronger, more genuine person. why be bitter and spiteful towards the hurt the world has given you when you can be gentle and kind and grateful towards the good things and people in your life? this is what mp100 makes me think about. also, episode 5 deserves a goddamn oscar.

Mob Psycho 100 secretly proves that it's the best anime ever even since the first season. You get to experience some of the best character developments such as Dimple, Teru, Kamuro Shinji (student council), Ristu, Onigawara and not to mention Mob and Reigen developing in the second season. The simplicity of all the unique looking characters help to animate more movements than any other anime and also helps to create the most amazing fight scenes that you will ever see. There are so many different medias of art used to make comedic effect like pencil drawings etc. which is very original compared to the sweat drip mark or the angry vein mark. You also never know where the plot is going to go. Just when you think something is going to happen, the story changes into something completely new which is one of the most enjoyable experiences when watching a tv show also there is some romance starting to happen ;) Its the best!

[@Excludos]

​@@smilerin7529 It's fairly normal to not be done done with everything once it starts airing. It generally means that only finishing touches are missing. So they might be 95% finished with all the episodes, but only 100% with the first two when they start airing for instance. Remember they'll have several months to finish their work after the first episode has aired.

[@oposdeo]

@@smilerin7529 Still, they are probably a good deal of the way through production on many of the other episodes.

I hope the animation quality doesn't suffer as a result of time constraints though, since S1 was so pretty.

[@unwantedmacguffin5611]

I disagree that Mob is an uninteresting charater. My first thought when I met him was *MUST PROTECC.* Mob is an adorable cinnomom roll, who's kind and thoughtful. And his intense awkwardness and lack social skills is relatable and endearing as all get out. And that's all before you truly get know him and learn what an amazing person he really is. I think mob is an incredible role model, not just for kids but for adults too. He shows that the way too a good life is hard work and empthay. Something that many other shows (cough, cough, Naruto, cough, cough) that espouse the same ideas fail at. I'd say he's one best if not the best character of the series.

[@tanjiroukamado5766]

@@GamerGrill420 Tsubomi has no fault here, she wasn't aware of Mob's affections and even then, he's nothing but a friend to her. Mob doesn't even actually know KNOW her, he's infatuated with her and the idea of a happy romance with her. Also, you have to thank Tsubomi, because she was one of the first people that made Mob think that "having powers doesn't automatically make you special or above others", which helped with how grounded and down-to-earth Mob is. Also, Tsubomi is a living metaphor for Mob's growing desires in life. He joined the Body Improvement club to impress her but he found his own self-growth throughout his journey. SPOILERS: Mob confessed and she turned him down, but they still remained friends. She stayed just to hear his confession even when the entire city was being evacuated. She may not think of him as a romantic prospect but she lowkey values him as a human being, and that's more than enough.
