Mob Psycho 100 was a series that surprised me. The art style wasn’t my favorite at first but it grew on me. It was the animation and colorful palleted that really was impressive. Mob was a unique character for Shonen anime. He’s quiet, humble, and uninterested in power. Most Shonen protagonists are violent and lust after more power. They’re noble but revel in their own ever growing power. I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but this generation of Shonen heroes have been more varied than pervious ones. Tanjiro from Demon Slayer being one of the protagonists I think are different from what’s typical for Shonen. Overall, I enjoyed the series and it’s message everyone has something special about them and you’re no better than anyone.
This was indeed a great anime, and I certainly can’t think of a ending more fitting to what the show represents. I’ll certainly be following ONE’S new work (Versus) closer and be on the lookout for whatever new project the staff involved in MP100 will be doing next.
I agree the ending was “fitting”. I wasn’t aware ONE had a new manga series. I’ll check that out. Thanks.
