"Mob Psycho 100" is one of the most hyped and overrated anime series of the year.

Mob is the type of guy who can't talk to girls, but somehow he lands two dates with two different girls at the same time, despite that he still has the same lazy attitude he had since the very beginning. The author seems to be way too accommodating about helping Mob with every problem he has, despite trying so hard to portray him as a weak little boy. None of the personality traits of the main character are believable or interesting at all. Even Mob's brother is given superpowers as ... a lazy way to resolve his conflict, proving that the writing of this show is lazy.

The supporting characters are quirky, but they're also one-dimensional characters who barely matter in the plot.

The battles are stunning, even though Mob always wins by pulling power-ups and Deus Ex Machinas out of his ass in every fight, but this is not really a big deal since the show focuses almost exclusively on the slice-of-life parts and the show do some efforts to bring some tension to the battles.

Nevertheless, I don't care about the "philosophical" topics this show tried to address, since the show itself doesn't seem to care about them either. The parodies of religious cults look stupid once you realize that the characters live in a world where there are actual gods and demons among the population.

In summary, "Mob Psycho 100" is a show that tried to be taken seriously, but it's, ultimately, stupid and doesn't deserve all the popularity it has garnered.

Kimetsu no Yaiba was, at best, mediocre from the start. While the animation and art direction are incredible, it's far from being the masterpiece that everyone claims it to be. Most of the characters aren't that interesting, and despite that some of them have a deep background, it doesn't really matter since they end up dying anyway right after they fleshed out, preventing us from appreciating a good character like Kyojuro Rengoku and making us feel like he was a wasted-potential.

Nezuko only exists in the show to give the protagonist a reason to stay alive and as a potential love interest for Zenitsu, we barely ... see her perspective on anything.

Zenitsu is a pathetic Nezuko simp and a total loser who can only be useful when he's not acting like himself and transforms into some kind of powerful sleeping beauty whenever he needs to fight back a very strong enemy (something he can't control) what a lazy plot-armor.

Inosuke is a rude-savage idiot... and that's it. The only time he's stopped being like that was when the plot needed him to chill out (only in this arc btw). However, he never went through any character development, Inosuke himself feels weird when he uses his brain, and he never uses his brain ever again, that's a very annoying inconsistency in his characterization.

The way everything is solved in this show is lazy. The power system has no rules, as all they do is taking a deep breath, and then an incredible power comes out of their weapons. That might not be a big deal, but then we have this new arc where we see the most idiotic plan of the show. Tengen sent the boys (who are obviously boys) to some houses of ill repute in the entertainment district to act like prostitutes... and they got away with it. Everyone accepted them as girls, and nobody checked their bodies out.
