Even then, it’s not like the show ever looked bad, so a few stumbles in animation quality still have the show looking better than many of its contemporaries. The only moments I found awkward were in episode 9, including its big fight scene. The general aesthetic of the show is eyecatching in general, and the designs remain simple yet often vibrant just as before. They never quite reach the levels of just having lip-flaps be the only real source of motion for minutes on end like with most shows that require exposition dumps or characters conversing, as there’s always a nice visual gag or a few gestures going around. Few titles this year can keep up with some of the fights presented here, even as films such as Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel 2 step up to the plate.Įven outside of the monumental fights, the show’s rough art style and vibrant aesthetic make it interesting to look at even in scenes of characters just sitting around and talking. Perhaps more so than any other fight in this series, it feels dynamic and larger than life in a way that’s hard to put into words. Hakuyu Go, the man behind the monstrous fights from Fate/Apocrypha episode 22 and One Punch Man episode 12 came back and delivered another grand slam with his storyboarding and animation direction for this season’s 5th episode. The camera is allowed to be taken to even wilder heights as battles get more aerial than ever before. While nothing is ever quite as epic a slugfest as Mob vs Koyama in season 1, the animation in most of the fights here is top-notch. The show’s simple, rugged art style allowed for all of this to be possible, and the direction by Yuruzu Tachikawa that allowed for a steady hand that could keep up with the frenzy being shown on-screen This second season continues this trend with several astounding sequences such as the main fight scenes of episodes 5 and 11. It’s the way characters would stretch and contort with every crushing blow, how environments would shatter upon impact and the camera zooms in at a controlled pace to create dynamic angles that sell attacks traveling at blistering speeds. It’s not that the fights were ever exceptionally brutal or bloody since they weren’t, but they were heart-pumping with how they communicated each devastating hit and frenzied blow someone took. There’s a sense of weight and impact to many of the attacks combatants use, from psychic blasts to superpowered fists slamming people into the ground. The first scene alone was enough to set the standard for this series, which would be matched by several key fights in the show.
Season 1 already had stellar animation with its vibrant fight scenes filled to the brim with sakuga. The visuals are some of the best in recent years.
Let’s get the big positive out of the way. Keeping a measured and somewhat informed perspective is still integral to what is being written here, but the fact remains: this was the first of many anime from 2019 to disappoint me. As such, this review is born more out of a place to satisfy myself and bring peace to my perspective than anything I’ve written thus far. It's as if no one has any of the same problems I have with this season, therefore I’ve yet to find someone disappointed in it for any of the same reasons as me. For the longest time, I've been trapped in this limbo of not wanting to write but never finding anything remotely close to my perspective being represented. It's taken quite a while to sit down and write my thoughts on Mob Psycho 100 II.
MOB PSYCHO 100 SEASON 2 EPISODE 11 SERIES
Never in my life have I seen such a perfect combination of slice-of-life, comedy, psychic powers, world destruction, exorcisms, and body building, and I sincerely believe that this series ( especially this season ) is worth the watch. It is an incredible series and deserves to be loved by all. Season 2 of this incredible series has made me smile so much that my face hurts.
I love that supportive bastard and in this season, he really takes care of Mob ( I love it T-T). Of course, you can't talk about Mob Psycho 100 without talking about Dimple who is, by FAR, the best ghost blob ever. I absolutely love this series and all of it's silly, lighthearteded moments, its INCREDIBLE characters (I love the body improvement club OHmygoD they are so wholesome and supportive of Mob they make me so happy), and of course, all of the super badass psychic battles.
While Mob Psycho might seem like an action-superpower hero type series, it's really a coming of age story that adresses real subjects with a myriad of eccentric characters. Mob is by far one of my favorite of ONE's characters, a middleschooler with peerless psychic abilities who just wants to be his best self and nothing more. I am a huge fan of ONE and his works, I love the characters he creates along with the over powered MCs who aren't cocky assholes who act like the best. Mob Psycho 100 has been one of my favorite series ever.
