| The episode did a nice job introducing Mob, but it still felt really weak for an opening episode. It felt like they were doing a side story (or omake) as an introduction since nothing was left dangling in this episode. There was nothing there as a draw for next week. This definitely feels like ONE though, so I'm willing to wait a few more episodes for things to take off. AnimeSlayer66 said: AcidPunk said: The animation here is insane. The story felt kinda meh to me but animation is just too good We haven't really seen much of a story yet, tho. That's a pretty fatal error when selling a 12 episode series. |
| It was average, like the art styke and animation. That's definitely Saitaman son. Lol |
| hahaha...just pure lol :D:D:D:D.....Salt middle school :D:D:D |

BONES shitty pacing is the culprit. The 1st episode was really just an omake chapter in the manga and the intro scene is from a much later arc that probably own't be cover even if they did 24 episode. 2nd episode will also be slow as fuck as it will only adapt 2 chapters. |

| Very good! But it was just me that the final fight in the tunnel should have been more elaborated just like in the beginning, Mob just one-punched the spirit Saitama style. I know it is the same author but I really want more action this time. |
 |
| The Kenji Kawai OST. Fuck yes. |
| Even though first episode doesn't have Oda and most of OPM alumni yet (actually everyone is busy with their own project, for example Imai with Titan), but the animation was excellent. Best animated first episode in this season! Names that caught my attention are Ayako Hata and Keiichiro Watanabe. First, Ayako Hata is a prominent animator and has worked on many Dennou Coil episodes and I'd consider her as one of the "selected talents" that was approved by Mitsuo Iso himself (just like Toshiyuki Inoue, and Kiyotaka Oshiyama). I'm still not sure which parts she did in this episode, but her name is listed in the top of credit so I guess she did a big scene in it. Second, Keiichiro Watanabe. I don't know him until Space Dandy happened. Just like the other young webgen peers, his animation is quite skillful, and I have high hope for him. Also, there's a speculation that Hironori Tanaka did the opening sequence (Non-Credited), but who knows. I hope Kameda himself will spill it out for us :p Oh, I also need to mention that Kameda did a great job as AD in this episode, and he said that he will not doing Chief AD works in the future episodes as he want to do more key animation rather than just correcting other people's works. :) By the way, everyone need to read this excellent review : https://sakugablog.yshi.org/2016/07/11/mob-psycho-100-episode-1/ And this interview with Tachikawa Yuzuru and ONE: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2016/07/11/mob-psycho-100-creator-one-and-director-yuzuru-tachikawa-discuss-the-new-anime0 |
| This is going to be fun. The characters' expressions are priceless. Especially Arataka's. xD |
| Definitely seems unique Excited to see more. |
| Love me some Studio 4°C, so of course i loved it so much i jerked my self off to it. |
| I enjoyed it, especially the art. Wasn't a huge fan of OPM but might return to finish it after Mob here |

Aya_The_Wierdo said: Fai said: I was blown away by thisWut Shots like this are far harder to draw or even come up with than most of mainstream pretty anime faces most of shows rely on. Don't forget the oil painted animation sequences.. That shit is hard as fuck and takes forever and is basically not used anymore in animation. https://sakugablog.yshi.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vlcsnap-2016-07-11-21h35m08s233-1024x576.jpg (they traditionally oil painted the animation for this spirit.) |
| Very cool. Very stylish. Almost reminds me of an anime from the old Gainax era. That Reigen guy is something else... Most shows this season range from mediocre to downright awful, so it's nice to have another good show. |
| Art and animation was great but the story and characters hasn't really pulled me yet which is fine after 1 episode. Not much else to say. |
 |
| I can already tell I'm going to like this, just from the animation and pacing. Definitely my style. We'll see how the story goes. |
| Ok, animation and art is eyes catching, it isn't nowaday flashy style but it's colorful and eyes catching in it own way. for Joke, some were lame as fuck but some made me burst of laughing, unexpectedly. still, pretty average for now. |
 |
| Was totally planning on writing off this show because One Meme Man made me groan way more than laugh. But I'm glad I didn't. This was really fun. I actually laughed out loud a few times. That NEVER happened with One Punch Man. The animation was also really impressive and unique (Based Bones), the characters are all a lot of fun and the gags hit far more often than they missed (The exact opposite of OPM for me). Solid first ep. Way better than OPM. 4/5 |
 |
| animation, art etc. hold this together and its pretty decent, but still, this was a lacking first episode. hope the story wont be episodic |
| This is so beautiful... I didn't think they could truly do the manga justice... but god damn ;~; |
 |
| I'm dissapointed :( the adaptation it's should like this |
| Almost didn't add this to my summer list. That would have been a mistake. The opening scene was fantastic. I like the art style used here. OP was really nice and catchy. The interaction between Reigen and Mob is interesting too. Reigen may be a con artist but he does show concern for others in his own way :) |

Thrashinuva said: But even if it seems easy to him, his master took all of the glory and money, if he at least paid him more, but i understand that he doesn't want to stand out much, so maybe it IS a beneficial relationship, where mob trains and his master gets paid.Fai said: Really? the way I see it he (unconsciously or consciously) knows the guy is a fraud but ignores that because its the only genuine friend he has, while everyone else shuns him and dislikes him. I think it might be a little more of a beneficial relationship to him. Regardless of his power, he's still in middle school, so not only is he getting paid for easy work, but he's also getting some experience under his belt. I think he also sees the dude as a good person, regardless of his tendencies to lie or stretch the truth. A lot of the things Mob said seemed like direct jabs at him, which I'm not convinced he said at random. |

| Bones, you guys really nailed it! Animation is looking very fluid & catches ONE's style perfectly, and Reigen's face close-ups & emotions cracks me up! OP's psychedelic charm reminds me the Paprika a little. Can't wait for the %100! Score: 100/Reigen |
| The opening is quite exciting and I like Mob and his scumbag master. The One Punch Man cameos are great!   |
 |
| Looks like an amazing series. The animation might be meant to be unique but it just seems lazy to me; ill get used to it though. |
| But that's just one opinion. |
| This was funny The art is crap tho |

| A really fun show. At the beginning I was worried about the art style while the couple was in the office with Reigen but it didn't take long for that fear to be blown away. Reigen was savage af to that female client though, lol. |
| this was pretty good. i cant believe how much effort they put in the animation. the whole oil-painting scene still is on my mind. respect for bones on that. the opening as well, goddamn, this was a lot better looking than i expected. they switched around chapters, but it should be fine nonetheless. cant wait for next ep. |
| Didn't expect its gonna be that fun to watch Reigen is awesome xD |

Tarkus_ said: I found this episode disappointing to say the least. I don't really like Mob and the con man. I'll give it another chance, but I was expecting something better. Same here. Everything was absolutely gorgeous - both the visuals and sound. However, I just don't care about either of the main characters and that greatly limited my enjoyment. It's quite interesting. Some people like the art and some don't. Some find the characters funny/interesting and some don't. |

StardustReverie said: one punch psycho. More like.. One-hundred Psycho Mob = OPM = One Punch Man |
| Oh man, those laughs I had.. banana peel, cooking salt, Reigen's expressions, etc It's pretty much what I expected from ONE's comedy, absurdly hilarious |
マジ  殴り |
| I can see myself having a problem with art style down the line. Right now it's eye catching. A lot of perspective shots and dynamic animation. I hope they don't go overboard with it that it becomes a big distraction and start to be annoying rather than interesting. |

| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| That was a funny ride. I enjoyed this more of what I thought at first. I found the comedy really good, with those exagerated facial expressions and Takahiro Sakurai's over the top voice acting. I laughed my ass when Reigen gives that salt punch to the spirit. The animation was great. Made the setting like if I were ond rugs, and that was really trippy. The opening is great too. |
 |
| The art work was diferentes, a lot of hype for this show. I hope it delivers. |
| Bones is in some great form as of late. I'm impressed into the way they did the whole art and animation for Mob Psycho 100. Unique as well as detailed at the same time. Hopefully they can keep this level of animation up the rest of the show. The story isn't strong right now, but with time, it will start to flesh out, so I'll judge the story then. Overall, I found the first episode to be really good. Funny, impressive and the soundtrack so far, including the OP and ED songs, are very good. Keep it up, Bones! =) |
| At least it's more entertaining than One Punch Man. |
MozillaFennekin said: Nothing, I repeat. NOTHING will beat JoJo's openings, well, maybe except the latest one. Still have mixed feelings over it...Amazing OP, maybe even better than JoJo's. Super good adaptation so far, I'm really impressed. |

| Surprisingly good, art & music are amazing looking forward to the next episode... can't wait for Dimple and Teru to appear |
| The art was really interesting. I want to see where this goes though |
 |
| Awesome and funny episode, I laugh a lot, Reigen's nervous reactions. Animation is good and did well based on ONE's art style. I like the OP as well as the ED and its good, though OP is too catchy ...95, 96, 97, 98, 99~. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Looking forward for the next episode, 27% before Mob's explosionnnnnn!!!! |
