Mob Psycho 100 was an absolute blast for me to watch. The show has a very basic premise and just based on it I might have not picked it up but some glowing reviews and the aspect of psychic powers got me interested and I am so glad I watched because I had so much fun.
The show's greatest strength for me was its offbeat humor, if you have some appreciation for the weird you should definitely give this one a shot. Slapstick and in your face loud comedy that a lot of animes have doesn't always land for me but Mob Psycho 100 somehow makes it work for me with its quirkiness. It also has a very interesting set of characters who manage to charm you with their ridiculous antics.
Story:
There isn't exactly a concrete storyline where our main character has some huge goal he is working for, he is just a regular guy with psychic powers which you can also say is the theme of the show. We are mainly just following Mob a simple guy who often seems to lack emotion and the people around him in their journey. I saw some people who felt the first couple episodes weren't engaging but personally I enjoyed the show from start to finish.
Characters:
I discussed the main characters here but really I enjoyed watching most characters in the show special mention for all the club members, regardless of how much they were shown they still managed to make an impression.
Animation:
The art style does not have a mass appeal, like the show itself the art style is also quirky and goofy but manages to have a stylistic flair but those who prefer a cleaner style with more color and contrast might have a hard time adjusting to it.
Soundtrack:
I feel the show did a great job in this aspect the scores used in the show complimented its humor style. The intro and outro were both really good, the intro 99 by Mob Choir in particular was just amazing and is worth checking out even if you decide to not watch the show.
The anime is not perfect but it manages to make me forget about its flaws with its humor and charm.
