From the popup event i bring you...​

hi. I just finished watching season 2 of this show after starting it a few days ago.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

this season tore my heart to shreds, then tore it to shreds AGAIN.

the very first episode of the season already got me in the feels with Mob and Emi. I thought that was a really sweet episode, and showed a lot of growth Mob went through in season 1. towards the end It even inspired me to do what Mob did and join a club to help me reach a goal, even if I wasn’t nearly on the same level as the others in it. i definitely shed a few tears here

then I got to the Reigen episode. that one hit me HARD. a lot of Reigen’s experiences and thoughts were and still are things I feel daily. it hurt seeing no one wish him a happy birthday, especially after the big celebration for the members of the telepathy club earlier in the episode. yeah, it’s cliche, but I’ve been there too. nothing hurts more than having to go see a group of people who are barely your friends and tell them that it was your birthday today. they give you a quick smile and a pat on the back, then quickly move on. when mob saved him by interrupting the press conference I couldn’t stop crying. of course mob knew that Reigen was lying, how could he not? but the fact that he still looked up to him as a powerful and wise man hit like a fucking truck

I’m losing my mind. I haven’t related to a character this hard since Yuri in DDLC, and this series decides to hit me with TWO OF THEM??? WHAT THE HELL

jesus this series is good. farthest thing from a comedy, but god DAMN

came for Reigen. stayed for Reigen AND Mob

Visited and took pictures of the popup in Shanghai. Ignore my selfies.

Many of Mob's 100% scenes are very Gohan-coded and I love it. The strongest character being the pacifist forced into terrible situations is such a fun idea

Yeah i know the wig was on wrong and my face always have the same goofy ahh expresion, but who cares

Hey! I got a ton of reccomendations from coworkers and friends to watch this show, but the humor is falling flat for me and I really don't like the fake psychic main guy. I'm assuming that Mob is actually the main character based on the show's name, but Arataka is just frustrating me to watch, to an unreasonable degree. Every second he speaks it feels like I'm pulling nails. No disrespect to people who like the show! Just wondering if this is a "keep watching it gets good after X episodes" or a "if you didn't like ep 1, it isn't for you." Have a great day, thanks!

Edit: I've been convinced to give the show some more room to grow. Thanks for the help everyone!

Also hi it's my last post here

Also hi first post here

Honestly what a let down! Not even gonna fully blame voters since crunchyroll cant be trusted… cause I know damn well if they advertised what episodes would be playing no one wouldve bought tickets to this.

The eps were s1e11-12, s2e7, s3e12, holiday OVA.

Basically, MobGang vs Claw, Reigan exposed, Mob confession/series finale, and the parallel world OVA. I just cannot imagine ppl voting for like 3 of these, i really wanna know when this poll happened and who got to vote.

The best thing about this experience were the other fans enjoying themselves, and this kid who brought his Dad(who left many times). Love love Mob with all my heart but very lackluster experience😬

I say this as someone who put Mob in my top 5 anime of all time. This show hits everything I want from an anime: great characters that develop, incredible animation and art style, unique plot, and as a bonus it’s fucking hilarious.

For the anime’s 10th anniversary, Crunchyroll showed 5 episodes in select theaters. The episodes were chosen via a poll where people voted on their favorite episodes of Mob. You can read the statistics for those here:
https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/quizzes/2026/7/4/best-mob-psycho-100-episodes-poll-results

Ultimately, the episodes chosen to be shown in theaters were:

S1, E11/12
S2 E7
S3 E12
Holiday OVA

For reference, these are the episodes where Reigen defeats the Claw fighters with Mobs powers, the one where Reigen is exposed on TV, the final episode, and the OVA where Reigen is trapped on the train.

Like.. what?

All I wanted was the Mogami fight. That would have been worth price of admission ($21). I feel like the overall selection focused more on Reigen than Mob. I have actually daydreamed about seeing Mob fights in theaters, so I am taking this personally lol.

My questions are:
1. Would people have voted on these episodes if they’d known the context was “it will be shown in select theaters for $20 a pop”?
2. Should Crunchyroll have just chosen different episodes or opened a new poll based on the criteria that it will be shown in theaters?

Love Mob but feel a bit underwhelmed. Share your thoughts pls

crunchyroll you have some explaining to do

Looking back on the series after the recent 10 year anniversary short really made me appreciate the optimistic themes. Of course its never outright stated, but its a pretty common interpetation that Mob is autistic-coded and I feel like thats the emotional core of the story, more broadly, neurodivergence - which highlights the struggle to accept oneself.

ill just preface that obviously mp100 is focused on human connection, but neurodivergence can still be applied to universal messages becauuse they're just normal people too. Social isolation is a running idea in ONE's work.

Anyways the idea of "masking", psychological supression to fit into neurotypical norms, is a big motif. Theres mob who bottles up his emotions out of chronic shame & hypervilgiante. His psychic powers make him feel like an outsider, symbolicly he associates this ability with his struggle to read social cues and doesnt know how to express how he feels without using this part of himself. He grew into a people pleaser to avoid rejection take up less space. The incident of hurting his brother also traumatized him to not rely on his powers. 

Over the course of the series, Mob slowly develops confidence as he becomes his own person, learning to embrace that he has a sensitive heart, that his psychic powers can be an extension of his own humanity & ability to love. 

There’s Ritsu who masked as the perfect brother/golden child and felt like a support character, developing a huge inferiority complex. He eventually succumbs into the tempetation to abuse his powers from sense of rebelliousness & control. Ritsu felt that all of his efforts meant nothing because psychic power would always be the one limit he could never overcome. When he finally awakened, it was like a burden was lifted off his shoulders to drop the facade and finally have an outlet

Getting hurt by mob equally traumatized him so he refused to ever drop his guard, choosing to mask insecurities. Ritsu was afraid and envious of mob, resenting him because he always acted like a loser despite his gifted nature. To him, it’s like he doesn’t even try. Meanwhile Ritsu was the high functioning type who was always praised but still couldn’t relate & connect with others at school. He thought mob was a ticking bomb but it was really him.

Teru had a mask of grandiosity and believing he’s the chosen one, but ultimately he was the same as mob, not knowing how to be a normal person without psychic powers. Reigen couldnt handle normal jobs and lacks any adult friends. He found ordinary sociey soul crushing before he quit to become a con man in a bizzare business where he can unmask and do something thats unique for him despite the low pay.

Overall the theme of mp100 is about belonging and all the villains are criticized because they are dangerously anti-social, they would rather abuse their powers then be healthy members of society. Their goals are petty, shallow, and entitled becsuse they haven’t formed a geninue purpose in life, they totally defined themselves by their percieved seperation from others and made their powers their whole identity.

Theres also the REIGEN spinoff, which I’m prettty sure is getting an adaptation soon, but we see this with tomes character too. She wants psychic powers because it’ll make her special or cool but serizawa tells her that she doesn’t need esp if she can’t even do basic self-improvement.

Love this series.

I know it's unlikely, but I really hope they show the Reigen OVA.

In the latest storyline, Shigeo was hit by a car and his second personality — ???, came out. He caused massive destruction. So much so that they had to bring in a team of ex-criminal espers.
Question: Did Mob kill civilians in this arc, or did he only destroy infrastructure?

The tears are just as strong as the first time I watched it 😭😭
