Dat animation ! It was weird during the first seconds, but I immediately started loving everything about the designs and the animation afterwards.

I thought the episode was funny, can't wait to see more of Mob ^^ His seiyuu is doing an awesome job so far, and Sakurai Takahiro is as talented as ever.

I ALWAYS KNEW BANANA PEELS WERE DANGEROUS.

it's the first episode dude, it gets way more hype very shortly after this

I'm feeling like this is the reason why most people are rating this low, if it wasn't for the backlash from OPM's success people wouldn't be treating it the same.

My opinion:

1. Art style was crazy and weird. I actually liked it.. I mean it was very unique. I liked it a lot.

2. The plot seems good. I like how the story goes so far.

3. Voice actors seems good.. Mob's voice actor can do a little bit more work to be perf <3

4. THE CHARACTERS FACES.. that couple made me cringe to death because their faces looked like something from the deep bottom of the sea.. like the dark area you know?

5. That's funny how saitama's face is on the guy's phone.. lmao xD

I'm not an experienced anime fan so why should I even post this? lmao

Ohhhh were off to an awesome start... and a creepy one. The art style and animation of this is just so strangely weird and amazing in it's own way, I love it. Opening was so dang cool and crazy in it's visuals, and it's definitely one I'm going to be watching every episode. OST sounds pretty cool too. Definitely one of the top animes for me this season.

I really have no idea what to think of this one. This doesn't have the satire or wit of One Punch Man, and it isn't nearly as clever.

The question becomes, am I disappointed because I keep comparing it to ONE's biggest hit or because the episode genuinely wasn't that good?

I dunno. There's always the possibility that there's satire buried deeper than it was in OPM, but this seems too straightforward.

Great episode. Reigen and Mob make quite the entertaining duo. Mob as the hero and Reigen as the comedic relief. The only problem for this to work is they have to make Mob so innocent that he's basically too dumb to detect any lies from Reigen. Still, at least it makes a good comedy.

i love that they used ONE's style for this. it stands out in a very unique way. reminds me of Ping Pong The Animation in that respect. great writing, characters and humor so far as well. definitely has AOTS potential.

just as a bit of a spoiler this is a slice of life about a boy maturing into a well functioning adult.

Yes, there's psychic powers, and occasionally some nice action, but at the end of the day it's Mob's journey of maturity above all else.

If you come here for OPM like series, you won't find it, since Mob Psycho is much slower paced and far more focused on character development.

there is no plot what so ever either, even if the mini-arcs may have some over arching goal or threat, but at the end of the day it's just Mob living his life and trying to decide a place for himself and questioning the choices he has to make over that journey.


---------------------

Also don't compare Reigen to Mr. Satan or similar characters...he looks that way at the start, but he's actually the Eikichi Onizuka of Psychic Mentors.

Nah, that doesn't even look like a CGI. All monsters in this episode are hand-drawn.

Kou Yoshinari is really good animator and people that weren't aware of his works often suspect some of his works as CGI. But they're aren't CGI.







BONES actually have their own CG team, and they did a good job at Concrete Revolutio S1 final episode (they even hiring more CG staff for their upcoming anime), but they're not using them in this first episode of Mob Psycho.

That was cool. I heard bad things about the artstyle but I am actually impressed with the way this show looks.

It's too good-looking for the "filthy casual masses" to dismiss it and the artstyle isn't bad enough for "elitists" to dickride it, so I'm not sure people said bad things about the art.

It was OK. The story and characters weren't that interesting and I don't think I laughed much if at all. The art and animation are obviously its selling point and they were great. This is only the first episode however so this level of quality will most likely drop down the line. I'll keep watching but I wasn't blown away. It was ok.

I'm talking about those explosions and Mob esper powers, aren't those CG? Computer generated? That's what bothered me, being CGI or not I don't particularly like those neon effects and such. I'm just stating my personal tastes, I don't see the need of you trying to single me out. Like the review you showed the directer and char design are from Brotherhood and Bleach, two series that I think had the best animation at the time. But still Mob doesn't look like neither.

Nope, the "key animation" / "genga" for explosions and such are drawn by animators. If you're talking about the color and effect, yes, those can be added with computer's technology --> For example is Nozomu Abe's works on Fate Stay Night. He draw the key animation and then Ufotable do heavy post-processing (filters, etc).

But the key animation / or the "bone" of animation itself is hand-drawn.



CG animation means the key animation are generated by computer like you said, for example the mecha animation in Active Raid (which was done by Studio Orange), or ending sequence of Mahoutsukai Precure.

Yeah, I know more or less how CG works now I know more thanks to you. I would never imagined that the action scenes were all drawn o.O

The introduction: Looks overpowered to me "psychic abilities" and the art is good.
The start of the episode: LOL. Isn't that a scam? after watching it, it's not true.
The near end/climax episode: Second lol. What the... Bananas? who would throw that? a monkey? It's really dangerous :/

This episode is really good but not that much exciting.

ONE is really number 1 in creating overpowering characters.

Well I knew it was by the same guy who did OPM, so I was a little skeptical since I'm in the minority that didn't like it that much...but this first ep kinda impressed me!

The animation is great & the art is funky as hell- I already like Reigen!
Now I'm curious as to where it's gonna go...I don't usually like "monster of the week" types too much so I hope it delivers something more on the plot front since there's definitely some potential there.

Tbh this prolly isn't gonna be a priority tho and I'll wait until it's finished airing to decide if it's worth my time!
