| So Arataka is powerless xD This will be another good run ;) |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Oh. I wasn't expecting that at all. Something else this season to have rated over 6. |
| ONE artstyle looks dope animated with all that flashy colors :) Reigen and Mob going about their daily business, good first ep. Hope it's 2 cour, the op had some stuff from later on too. Claw :)  |
 |
| Anime art has finally reached American cartoon art level Great first episode! This looks promising. Looking forward to future episodes. 4/5 |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| To think that people actually like this crap... its like everyone's blinded by the success of OPM which was great, and this? this is garbage. |

| Hilarious stuff, I will love every second of the show! |

I dont know... the reason im watching it is to prove me wrong but i dont have high hopes either, and id rather not talk about why i think the show is bad because people jump on you for having an opinion |
| 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 |

 Btw is that character possibly a Captain Tsubasa reference? Hahah, oh my, i hope so. |
| Omg awesome episode ahhhh |
| 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. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I still prefer Murata art, it's a shame he doesn't draw Mob too... There's so much CGI in this that it looks excessive. The comedy seemed forced too. Hope this goes somewhere. |
| Idk if it's just me but this anime looks trash. Boring first episode, crappy art. No thanks. |
Darius said: Idk if it's just me but this anime looks trash. Boring first episode, crappy art. No thanks. Felt the same but I am going to watch few more and see if the "hype" really is real. Haven't read the manga though. |
| High octane action. Me likey. This art style is truly unique. I'm gonna love seeing this. And the plot will surely pick up next episode. |
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA! ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
| Don't mind the Character design/art... this is still 10/10 Masterpiece for me! 5/5! |
 |
| 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. |
| Reigen made this somewhat enjoyable art is deliberately ugly as fuck One really likes his buttchins.. animation was really good and i liked the ED will watch since i can at least enjoy the comedy since i haven't read it. |
 |
| Loving the really unique, vibrant and creative art style. Ost is superb. Love the OP & ED! Shigeo is an interesting character and the cast is hilarious. Love the faces too. Reigen is SO troll~ Great action too and that animation! |
DarkWish said: To think that people actually like this crap... its like everyone's blinded by the success of OPM which was great, and this? this is garbage. Lol disagree. I never cared about OPM to begin with. Mob hype for me >> OPM hype for me. |

| Not really a big fan of this tbh. I mean it's not bad at all but I'm not feeling it. Not my thing most likely. |
| To anyone who's worried about the art style, just remember back to the first moment anyone ever recommended FLCL to you and you saw a picture of it. |
| Absolutely enjoyed it. Love ONE's work! |

lukeycow said: I thought the blue turtle thing at the start was CGI, but that's it. I guess even that wasn't despite looking like it. 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. |
| This reminds me a lot of the old NickToons. Pretty cool first ep, tbh. Probably better than OPM |

| 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. |

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. |

Snaita said: I'm talking about those explosions and Mob esper powers, aren't those CG? Computer generated? 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 art is fucking beautiful and it made me laugh sooo i like |
 |
| Mob is so fucking naive it's unreal xD The animation is a beauty and very unique. Especially the fighting scenes were superb. Bones did as expected a great job. 5/5 |
| 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. 4/5 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! |

| Cool start with an interesting art style. Can't wait for the explosion meter to hit 100% |

| OMG, a MC with living parents whom he actually lives with. Damn. |
