The first time I watched Mob Psycho 100 was two years ago but up until now, I can still vividly recall the details of the scenes that made me feel different sorts of emotions. The anime is seriously funny by default. You could easily find yourself cracking up by the crazy antics of the characters. Add the unique style of animation that intensifies the hilariousness of the scenes to the equation and you get yourself one heck of a treat. Who could also resist Mob’s cuteness, though? I mean, look at those squishy cheeks. With his eyes filled with curiosity and heart filled with so much sincerity, I would love to keep that kid version of Mob in real life - 100%, with no ifs and buts.

He may not be the brightest kid of his age but his overflowing care for the people around him makes him one of the most lovable boys in anime.

Aside from Mob, I also find Ritsu, Teruki, and Shou extremely adorable! I swear, I’d hang out with these kids 24/7. Plus, they’re unbelievably powerful espers so you don’t really have to feel afraid when you’re being attacked by unpleasant supernatural beings. Ritsu and Mob’s sibling relationship is so wholesome.

Even though Ritsu felt jealous of Mob’s capabilities when they were still kids, he was able to overcome that feeling and even developed his own power overtime. They would do anything just to save each other when they are in danger.

My other favorite character in this anime would be Teruki. Who would have thought that this known Shadow Leader of the Black Vinegar Middle School who once challenged and fought Mob in a psychic power battle would turn into one of Mob’s loyal and reliable friends? He used to consider himself as the main protagonist of the world but when he experienced defeat, he realized that the world does not revolve around him and that he should not use his psychic powers against people unless absolutely necessary. Although he doesn’t get too much screen time,

I also like Shou. This boy got some spunk and I admire his resistance against his father’s evil world domination plan.

One thing that I also like about Mob Psycho 100 is its psychedelic art style - especially in its opening videos. I’m not really into vibrant colors but for some reason, the elements blended perfectly together. Not to mention the songs! I liked sajou no hana’s “Gray” the most. It is the ending song of Mob Psycho 100 Season 2. That song never fails to transport me into the river of feels every time I listen to it. Like what I mentioned earlier, Mob Psycho 100 would take you into a rollercoaster ride of emotions. No, it’s not all happy and bright.

The first moment that left a mark on me was that scene wherein Mob was helping Emi when her so-called friends bullied her. They teased her about her written novel and they ripped the pages apart. Mob tried to pick up and gather the torn pieces but they were blown away by the wind. What he told Emi has a special place in my memory. He said, “I made the decision to consider my feelings more. And you need to pick up things you feel are important.” That scene was just so beautiful. The moment I saw Mob crying, I also felt the fang of pain digging inside my soul.

Another important scene for me was when Mob assured Reigen that he still respects his Master after all that has happened. He told him, “I’ve always known from the beginning.. what my master really is.. Is a genuinely good guy.” That moment made me want to hug both of them. How can a boy be so understanding like Mobu? He’s so pure and sincere. I can’t even imagine hurting someone like him. Reigen is very lucky to have Mob but so is Mob with Reigen. He sure learned a lot from his Master. Life lessons that he can’t even get in school or from his own family. Here’s to hoping we can get Season 3 soon!
