THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Holy shit this was beautiful. The art style and way the animation choreography is done is just astonishing. And I love how they are keeping the style of the artwork based on the manga. The OP song is nice, very stylistic and catchy too imo.

Voice acting is decent as well. Definitely a good start so far imo. I hope this will be a 2-cour (maybe?)

That OP is totally awesome! And Sakurai nailed it as Reigen, though I'm not 100% sure if I like Mob's voice, but he's alright I guess. The art style is supurb. They manged to capture ONE's art, while making it look pretty an nice. And the animations are fabulous. This needs to be 2-cour long. And this is probably the best first episode of the season. Banana peels are the most effective weapon. That supermarket salt punch XD

And they kept that Saitama background on Reigen's phone.

Look who's talking...

I really liked the first episode for this.
The animation was fucking great and I love the art style!

Both opening and ending songs are nice IMO.

Also the biker gang boss spirit was increadibly adorable, dying from slipping on a banana peel :' D
I'm glad he got to rest in peace.

As expected it would be a weak pilot episode. I think they should have gone for the Mob joining the club to fill the episode instead of using the omakes. Good OP and ED doe.

Ho damn. I'm still at work and hearing this makes me anticipate the episode even more.

I love that they keep ONE's art style. This should allow them to do some serious Animation.

That OP just blew my mind. It loops fucking perfectly.

Seems like this adaptation is in very good hands. Interestingly enough they rearranged and fleshed out the Omake chapter into the first episode as it's not really the biggest hook, but I felt it worked. Though it'll be annoying if later episodes end up rushed due to this. And man, don't even get me started on the animation. They've adapted ONE's designs so well and due to their simplistic nature it allows the talented guys down at Bones to run wild and it's great to watch. It's the next episode that I'm really looking forward to see how the anime handles though.

I can't even remember the last time Bones did a 24 episodes series without split cour. Great news
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

This episode was hilarious, especially Reigen. The animation is definitely unique compared to what I'm used to, but it still looks amazing, as expected of Bones. Too bad there will most likely be people who drop this because they just can't fathom watching something with animation that's different from what's normally used. Their loss though. Good, funny start, and definitely lived up to my expectations.

And I almost didn't see Saitama as Reigen's phone wallpaper. I hope we see more OPM easter eggs (like the butt chin dude).

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

I really liked the first episode.
The animations are just eye candy.
And this supernatural ghosty flair could get interesting tho.
I think MOBP100 is something very different compared to OPM (in a positive way)

Gotta say that was BEAUTIFUL! it did give me a bit of a headache though, maybe cause of the flashes.
Other than that I really liked its uniqueness and the humor was okay. Kinda liked opm's more though.

A very good start and episode.
Reigen is awesome like in the mangas.

One's art with such animation give something really unique.

What's with the progressing explosion? what's happening?
So Mob is a psychic that can also emit lightning? I hope he does not turn out to be Saitama junior and has a different personality.
Great animation and interesting start.

Quirky and crazy as expected from Bones and One.

I've heard great things about this and it didn't disappoint. The animation was pretty amazing and the colour palette was quite a treat.

Can't wait to see more and I heard that it got 24 episodes is this true?

AOTY?

Studio Bones delivers yet again. This was in all possible ways beautiful. When literally first few seconds of the show already make your jaw drop you know you are in for a wild ride. The first 2 minutes of the show were better than pretty much everything this season(or anything Ufo produced in last few years).

This was colorful, this was creative, this had an amazing OST and this did not rely on the mainstream definition of "beautiful animation" to look amazing.

And what's more this does not rely on memes like One Meme Man did to be good. This actually has substance and does not look generic. Anyone who would dare to compare this to OPM most likely never watched the episode.

Wacky, Shady and entertaining, Good start. I'm liking the show already.

Reigen is one manipulative shady dude, He is fairly hilarious, Some of those faces of his are really funny. Poor Mob though, Doing all the work for Reigen and he doesn't even get payed well. Them Saitama wallpapers though XD

And Mob is OP.

That's fucking OP dude..... it's amazing. Both in visual direction and OP song.

I have a feeling that Reigen is earnest with wanting to help Mob control his powers, but at the same time he's struggling with hiding the fact that's he's a weak exorcist (or well, a con-artist). It might make for some interesting drama later on.

Reigen is already pissing me off, I know he's supposed to be here for comedic reason, but come on, he's ruining the fun for me (maybe his character will become better later on, manga fans don't yell at me)
Well it's not a bad show though

If you haven't realized yet, Mob means side character and the real protagonist is Reigen. The narrator saying Mob is the protagonist is a joke.

Is this show going to be episodic?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
