*This is a Review for all seasons of Mob Psycho 100!!!*

"Listen. Just because you have these psychic powers and abilities, it doesn't mean you're any less of a human than anyone else. There are people who are fast, people who are book smart, and people with strong body odor. Psychic powers are just like that: another characteristic. You must embrace that characteristic as a part of yourself and continue to live positively. After all, the truth behind one's charm is kindness. So just be a good person. You got it?" -Arataka Reigen, Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho is a fantastic anime, almost perfectly adapting the manga ... by adapting to every detail and exceeding it with the high level of animation produced by Studio BONES. A story of a boy with Psychic Powers who never asked for them overuses them and has difficulties fitting in. Over the course of the show, you see him grow as a person becoming a little more open with his emotions which he keeps locked away in fear of harming others.

The Animation is amazing, combining funny comedic art styles with abstract, rough, and colorful art styles. It's hard exactly to describe the kind of art Mob wants to convey because it can do any kind of animation style. While it may seem like whiplash going back and forth from funny to serious moments, the show perfectly balances it out somehow. The fights are well-choreographed and look amazing.

Characters such as Shiego/Mob, Reigen, Ritsu, Dimple, and many more are just such great charters. Each and every one of them grow as a person, realizing that what powers they do or don't have don't define them and that they are just people, no different from anyone else. Mob especially goes through the most grown out of anyone, from season one being a physically weak and frail boy, shy of the world and nervous to talk to girls, being over-reliant in his powers, to at the final episode being strong and fit as the new vice-president of the Body-Improvement Club, has new friends and accepts the fear of rejection, and no longer feels the need to use his powers. Being confident in his own abilities as a human being. The mob could've easily gone the easy way, using his powers to get muscular, charisma, etc. However, he chose the hard way of hard work and effort, which is so inspiring and anyone can look up to.

The characters being the biggest and strongest part obviously means the plot being character-driven is great. I would like to talk about it but it's difficult considering most of the arcs are like mini-stories of Mob's life and the characters growing as people. Not only that but I don't want to spoil it for people who haven't seen it yet.

Overall, 10/10. I would want everyone to give this a chance. It's my favorite anime but I feel like anyone who picks it up can enjoy it's charm and beauty.

I found a random BL manga that interested me but dropped it due to boredom and uninterest as I kept reading.

It's a good manga, the art is the most vital part, it feels light and detailed at the same time with characters looking really good and with great natural backgrounds like snow or beaches. Mio and Shun's relationship is another great part of it, however, it's covered with all this filler bullshit that could make it so much more. I love how wholesome and cute and how much depth there is to the relationship but I wish it could get more to the point so ... I didn't feel like I was wasting my time.

I have it dropped, but I could see myself coming back and picking it up again at some point. Its weaknesses out weight its strengths a lot which hurts me a lot for some reason

7/10, good but could be much better. (Maybe 9/10)

Blame! The Abstract Masterpiece.

I had known nothing about Blame! beforehand. I found it randomly while scrolling through the Top Manga section. seeing such a short manga so high up interested me enough to read it. I love this Manga. The Art, Storytelling, and fights all go so well together.

The Abstract way of storytelling and how little dialogue make every sound and every speech bubble impactful in some way. Many could say this is its weakness and how it has no straightforward story but, its an exciting way that not many do now with modern manga.

10/10, This manga is amazing

Happy Halloween! As of Writing this, I've read this to celebrate Halloween because why the hell not?

To start, this is my first horror Manga. I do not know much about Horror manga. Not only that, a week prior I had watched my first Horror movie. I don't know much about the Horror genre so I will be looking at this through the perspective of a manga, not how good it plays the genre.

It was really good in the beginning. I loved how it was multiple different but all interconnected stories about the town and the curse of the spirals. I thought it was genuinely scary ... and I did get pretty freaked reading it. Unfourtuently, near the end, I was kind of turned off.

I think it was chapter 12 or 13 maybe where it started to go down for me from an 8/10 to a 7/10. Still, I kept reading.

It got a bit better near the end, and the ending I thought was interesting, but definitely could've been better. However, it was definitely not as good as the first 2 volumes.

The characters were fine. The only good one was the Main Girl whose name I've already forgotten. The Boyfriend was just "It's the spirals, you're gonna die because of the spirals." Every fucking chapter and it got annoying on the second volume. I liked his parents though, they had cool stories.

Overall, 7.5/10. Read this manga, I thought it was good.

This manga is weird. In my quest to read terrible manga (Thanks Alan Moore) I found this manga on my Manga website recommended. I thought it would be like every other Ecchi Softcore Hentai Manga I've read and dropped within 5 chapters. Surprisingly, I couldn't stop reading for a while until I broke and dropped after the 18 Millionth underwear panel.

Unlike most, where it's hentai, or a girl abusing a poor schoolboy for god knows what reason, this is somewhat Wholesome. It's about a girl who has had feelings for her Senpai/Schoolmate since they met and still does years later. After meeting her again, she ... goes back in time (I don't know how) to when she was in high school. Trying to get laid and also helping her with her acting career.

It has its cute moments, only to be ruined by a Boobshot, Panty shot, etc., clearly meant to keep the horny 50-year-old men (and giftedasf) reading this mid-manga.

Could've been 7.5/10 if they had less sexual stuff in my opinion. However, 5/10.

Holy SHIT this is good. I enjoyed Chainsaw Man a lot but I had no idea Fujimoto could go this hard god damn.

The story is so great. It's about Yuta, who makes a film about his mother's death and has an immoral, and inappropriate ending. Which to his peers and teachers dogshit. The bullying gets to him so much he attempts suicide, not before meeting a girl named Eri. Eri is the only person who enjoyed the film, and wants to help Yuta remake his film but have it be the best movie ever.

I'm not going to dive too deep into the plot, I think ... it would be better if you read it yourself and give your own opinion but I think the plot is great, and the ending ties it all together excellently.

The art is practically identical to Chainsaw Man with character designs, buildings, etc. (Minus gore and action)

The characters are great. Yuta and Eri are such fun lovable characters and their interactions which each other are fun to read as they make their film.

Overall, 10/10. Go read this, it's not too long. If you don't like it you won't waste your time anyways it's 200-something Pages

A Girl on the Shore is fine. I see most people reviewing how this is "a masterpiece of the feelings of middle school," or how other people say this is a poor manga and one of this author's weaker stories (His others are the highly acclaimed Goodnight PunPun and solanin.)

Reading it, I felt neutral about it. I don't hate it, but its existence doesn't bother me. The Story is alright. It's about 2 Middle Schoolers having sex and interacting with each other, their peers, and their families. Honestly, I feel like it could've been done better, but I don't know.

The Art is the strongest thing ... in this manga. Some panels are some of the best-looking things I've seen here. I don't have much to say on it other than it looks really good.

The Characters are fine, the best one in my opinion was Isobe with his conflict with suicide and his relationship with Kuome. His character is the best but most are pretty forgettable. So forgettable that I have to double check if I'm getting the character names right by looking at its MAL page.

My enjoyment reading this was fine. I enjoyed the art a lot (Minus the sex dear god I hated that) and I think its 20 chapters are a good amount to read for a manga of this quality.

Overall, it's a 6/10. Honestly, I'd rather just read something else. I only read this to take a quick break from Tokyo Ghoul.
