From the creator of one punch man comes another overpowered hero except Mob
isn't really a hero he also focuses more so on being a psychic-type instead of
being a fighting type like one Punch man. If anything mob is more similar to
the number two hero Tatsumaki only less tsundere and potentially much
stronger. Anyway as always Foxen here and mob psycho season 2 is here just in
time to feed you before one punch man season two in a spring anime season
however is Mob Psycho an appetizer or a main course? I gave you a taste of Mob
Psycho the very starlets but what is this anime even about? Mob psycho focuses
on this little junior high kid Mob. Think of him like one punch man only
younger with hair and more like Mewtwo or maybe mew. The anime is a slice-of-life
supernatural adventure focusing on Mob's adventure as he runs into the
supernatural whether that being spirits demons or even other gifted individuals
so that's right sometimes you're gonna get a taste of psychic action. Oh and let
me not forget to mention mob is regularly taken advantage of by this
older gentleman. If you want to see a young Saitama abuse by a weirdo you're
in the right place. Mob is recruited by this questionable borderline con artist
that runs his own freelance business. He supposedly takes care of people's
supernatural problems whether they're real or fake. For example if your house
is haunted or you need an exorcism you've come to the right place to waste
your cash although I gotta be fair it's not a complete ripoff. That is if you're
actually being haunted. When an actual supernatural case occurs regan calls out
the big guns which is Mob taking care of any potential threat. This anime almost
follows a villain of the week type of story with each episode building and
building on top of one another eventually connecting into the first
season's finale but anyway getting back to your main man Mob. Mob's incredible
potential is governed by his emotions. Right from the first episode and even
opening theme you get to see this emotion percentage that's displayed
every now and then. Mob's full powers are unleashed when it hits a hundred percent
something that Mob doesn't want and rarely it even breaks the limit going into
this triple question mark percentage unknown territory. Potentially this on
each mob will cause problems even for Saitama.
Is some ancient God or demon living inside Mob? Who knows? Potentially season
two is gonna shed some light on this mystery and yes season two so this
whole thing is my first impressions for the first few episodes let me just
mention that this is not a blind run for m.e I have read the entire mob psycho
manga once upon a time so the question you're wondering is mob
psycho even worth watching? Especially now the season 2 is airing. To answer this let
me actually go back to season one. I was actually pretty late to the party for
the first mob psycho season although I still saw it before 2016 ended. By the
end of this year this anime had been super hyped up by everyone. A lot of
people are claiming this was anime of the year or even on a level of one punch
man from the previous year. Unfortunately event hype it up way too much for me.
Personally it really hurt my enjoyment of it the first time around so just
being completely honest if you ask me back in 2016 I might have not even been
able to recommend this without giving you like 5 disclaimers and perhaps I'm
gonna be mister unpopular but I'll be honest I'd say then I still don't agree
with those claims. Despite that recently I did put mob
psycho season 2 in my top 10 anime hyped for this year which was really since mob
psycho has really slowly growing on me since my first time watching. Hell I even
read the entire manga like a year later. If you do want to watch something
similar to one punch man although not exactly the same just something that
leans more towards the psychic slice of life story then the mob psycho anime is
for you. Perhaps that kick-ass season one opening will get you on board. Now with
season 2 Mob's adventure continues. Slowly mob is also growing as a person
and you know that psycho con is still abusing the young Mob to make some quick
cash. I think that broke-ass one needs a real job. Ultimately Mob Psycho season 2
should wrap up the entire story. Mob psycho season 2 actually kicks off with
the psychic battle which really just brings you back as a refresher into this
world. I do believe this is anime original though cuz really gonna kick
off season 2 with a bang. As for the studio the Bones studio is back for
season 2. You may be familiar with some small anime they've done in the past
like Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and most recently the My hero Academia
anime plus the movie and really the Bones student been doing the animation really
is freakin awesome. I mean the web manga source material literally look like ass
which was drawn by the one punch man author
himself unlike one punch man. The web manga could have really been given to
any studio practically any studio even the crappiest one around could have made
the anime look much more better than the manga
however they give it to a top-tier one. I'm sure the one punch man connection
helped. With Mob Psycho season two the bone Studio is back with some amazing
animation. It's gonna make your eyes orgasm again and they're already 100%
back at it. Something that seems more obvious for season two is that I'm
really just loving the little references to the original web manga sometimes it
does get a little bit too weird though. I didn't notice how it looks like they're
putting more effort into making the female characters look cute. For Mob
psycho season one that was definitely filled with some funny looking faces for
the female cast. Trying to make something cute for that season was definitely not
on their to-do list. As for the new opening I did mention the catchy opening
for season one. Unfortunately I really can't say the same from Mob Psycho
season two. You did get the same group back to do the opening but for me it
just worlds apart from the first opening. I would almost say just skip it if it
wasn't for the visuals. That I do have to applaud although it does include some
weird CG. The season 2 opening animation is jam-packed with some foreshadowing
and symbolic visuals like the first opening but who knows perhaps I'm in the
minority on this I definitely preferred the ending for season 2 much more than
the opening the song anyway. Anyway back to the original question should you
watch mob Psycho and mob Psycho season 2? If you're looking for this almost
underdog overpowered supernatural slice-of-life anime mob cycle is
definitely worth checking out! I would strongly advise though not to
buy into some of the hype that's putting this as anime of the year or as a best
thing ever. I really don't think Mob Psycho is
that at all. It isn't trying to be that which is perfectly fine. That being said
I do think it has a potential to be anime of the year or at least in the top
5 or top 10 of the year for this year for some of you but anyway let me hear
from you! How are you liking mob psycho season 2? Is it better than season 1 or
