Plot

Shigeo Kageyama is an average middle school-aged boy, nicknamed Mob. Although he looks like an inconspicuous person, he is in fact a powerful esper with immense psychic power. To keep from losing control of this power, he consistently represses his emotions, and as a result has trouble expressing himself. In order to help learn how to control his abilities, Mob works as an assistant to well-meaning con-man Arataka Reigen, a self-proclaimed spirit medium. Mob wants to live a normal life just like those around him, but a barrage of trouble keeps coming after him. With his suppressed emotions growing inside Mob little by little, his power threatens to break through its limits as he deals with supernatural threats, such as ghosts and other espers.

Anime

On December 2, 2015, Ura Sunday announced that Mob Psycho 100 would be adapted into an anime television series.[44] The anime adaptation was produced by Bones and directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa. Hiroshi Seko wrote the scripts, Yoshimichi Kameda designed the characters, and Kenji Kawai composed the music.[45] The series aired for 12 episodes between July 12 and September 27, 2016, on Tokyo MX, later airing on ytv, BS Fuji and TV Asahi Channel 1.[46][47] The opening theme song, "99", is performed by Mob Choir while the ending theme song, titled "Refrain Boy" (リフレインボーイ), is performed by All Off.[48]

Following a screening of three Bones films, attendees reported that Bones teased that progress was being made on a further Mob Psycho 100 anime project.[49] In October 2017, an event anime, titled Mob Psycho 100 Reigen The Miraculous Unknown Psychic (モブサイコ100 REIGEN ～知られざる奇跡の霊能力者～), was revealed.[50] It is a 60-minute compilation of the anime series and features new scenes focused on Arataka Reigen. It was screened twice at the Maihama Amphitheater in Chiba on March 18, 2018, and was later released on home video.[51]

At the end of the event, the second season of the anime series was announced, with the staff and voice cast returning to reprise their roles.[52] Mob Psycho 100 II aired for 13 episodes from January 7 to April 1, 2019.[53][54] The opening theme for the second season is "99.9" by Mob Choir feat. Sajou no Hana.[55] Four ending themes performed by Sajou no Hana; "Gray" (グレイ), "Memosepia" (メモセピア), "Mabuta no Ura" (目蓋の裏) and "Ikiru Hitobito" (いきるひとびと), were used for the second season.[56][57][58]

Following the conclusion of the second season, an original video animation (OVA) was announced, with Yuzuru Tachikawa reprising his role as director.[59] The OVA, titled Mob Psycho 100: The First Spirits and Such Company Trip – A Journey that Mends the Heart and Heals the Soul (モブサイコ100 第一回霊とか相談所慰安旅行~ココロ満たす癒やしの旅~), was released on September 25, 2019.[60]

On October 19, 2021, it was announced that a third season was in production. Takahiro Hasui directed the season, with Yuzuru Tachikawa serving as chief director. The main cast and staff reprised their roles.[61][62] Mob Psycho 100 III aired from October 6 to December 22, 2022.[63][64] The opening theme is "1", and the ending theme is "Cobalt", both performed by Mob Choir.[66]

English release

Mob Psycho 100 was simulcast on Crunchyroll, while Funimation broadcast the show's simuldub.[67][68] Crunchyroll also streamed the second and third seasons,[69][70] as well as the compilation and the OVA.[69][71] The English dub was produced by Bang Zoom! Entertainment.[72] The first season was broadcast on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block from October 27, 2018, to February 3, 2019.[73][74] According to Jason DeMarco, Adult Swim executive producer, legal issues arose with the licensing of the second season at the time, as the Japanese version was licensed by Crunchyroll, and the English version was licensed by Funimation, and it prevented the second season from the airing on the block. At the time of the legal incident, both companies were not owned by a single conglomerate company.[75] The third season would also not air on the block, mainly due in part to Crunchyroll's "unwillingness" to work with Adult Swim on syndication deals for most of their licensed catalog.[76] Madman Entertainment imported Funimation's release in Australia and New Zealand,[77] and Manga Entertainment distributed the series in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[78] The series was simulcast on Animax Asia in Southeast Asia;[79] Muse Communication later licensed the series in the territory.[80]

The third season's simuldub was slated to be produced by Crunchyroll rather than Bang Zoom! with some roles recast, due to the choice to move dub production to in-person recording sessions at their Dallas based studio, rather than remote recordings, after largely relying on the latter at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.[81] Among the planned recastings was the voice of Mob, Kyle McCarley, who stated that he would likely not be reprising the role as Crunchyroll had refused to negotiate a potential union contract for future anime dubbing productions with McCarley's union SAG-AFTRA. McCarley had offered to work non-union on season 3 under the condition that Crunchyroll discuss with SAG-AFTRA, but as this did not proceed, McCarley did not return.[82][83][84] This news prompted much criticism of Crunchyroll on social media.[85]

Reception

Manga

By July 2016, Mob Psycho 100 had over 1.2 million copies in circulation.[99] By December 2022, the manga had over 2.8 million copies in circulation.[100]

The comic book writers of San Diego Comic-Con listed Mob Psycho 100 as one of the "Most Wanted Manga" from 2016.[101] Mob Psycho 100 won the 62nd Shogakukan Manga Award in the category in 2017.[102] The series was nominated for a Harvey Award in the Best Manga category in 2019.[103]

Critical reception

Ian Wolf from Anime UK News praised the first two volumes of the series, giving them 8 out of 10, and stated "One's art is notable for a few reasons. The art is designed to be humorous rather than stylish. Part of the comedy value in One's work is the rough styling that adds to the scenarios he creates. In this second volume of Mob Psycho 100, it is the action which is the main focus. There is some comedy thrown into the mix as well, but mainly this time it is about the battle between the two psychics and their different philosophies. It is also interesting to witness this fight because it is one in which one of the participants is trying their hardest not to fight, while the other is giving it all they've got. Having said this, there is still some comedy added to the heat of the battle, the main highlight being when Teru tries to use knives to beat Mob, but Mob deflects one of the knives away, accidentally cutting off a massive chunk of Teru's hair. It is at times like this where One's art style can sometimes fall down. His rough artwork does lead neatly to the chaotic scenes he is trying to depict at the height of the fight but when it comes to the more dramatic moments, the rough style lacks pathos. Here, the anime has the edge when it depicts the fight because other elements such as the music or the use of colour can add to the tension".[104][105]

Anime

In the Crunchyroll's inaugural Anime Awards, the first season of the anime series received two awards: Best Action and Best Fight Scene (Shigeo vs. Koyama). It was also nominated in six other categories, including "Anime of the Year". At the 4th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2020, the second season of the anime also won two awards: Best Animation and Best Opening Sequence for "99.9" by Mob Choir feat. Sajou no Hana. It was also nominated in five other categories, including "Anime of the Year". Mob Psycho 100 was one of the Jury Recommended Works in the Animation Division at the 20th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2017.[106] In November 2019, Polygon named Mob Psycho 100 as one of the best anime of the 2010s,[107] and Crunchyroll listed it in their "Top 25 best anime of the 2010s".[108] IGN also listed Mob Psycho 100 among the best anime series of the 2010s.[109]

On Tumblr's 2019 Year in Review, which highlights the largest communities, fandoms, and trends on the platform throughout the year, Mob Psycho 100 ranked second behind My Hero Academia on the Top Anime & Manga Shows while Arataka Reigen was fifth on the Top Anime & Manga Characters category.[110] In September 2020, the series went viral after American businessman Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, published a tweet connecting the series to allegations of censorship by Google, due to Google Search results for "mob" showing Mob's face rather than a group of people.[111][112]

Critical reception

Anime News Network listed the first season of Mob Psycho 100 among the best anime series of 2016. Nick Creamer praised the series' visual style, character story and its concepts of heroism and society also presented in ONE's other work One-Punch Man. Lauren Orsini commended the coming-of-age story of Mob and praised the series' animation and music.[113] James Beckett of Anime News Network gave the second season an A+, and describes the series as "I don't know how else to put it: Mob Psycho 100 II is about as close to perfect a season of television as I can imagine. I am willing to bet that the series will go down as one of the best seasons of anime ever produced, and you owe it to yourself to experience it first-hand. A modern masterpiece of animation that needs to be seen to be believed".[114]

Steve Jones complimented the anime's final episode and said: "While it hurts to say goodbye, it's fitting for Mob Psycho 100 to take a bow with some final flexes of its two strongest muscles: a parting exaltation of simple kindness, and a brilliantly animated display of Reigen getting the everloving crap kicked out of him. There aren't many surprises in this finale (maybe one big one, depending on how gullible you are), but I like that. This feels like the series going out on its own terms, in an adaptation that has maintained its trailblazing spirit and quality for over six years. This is the farewell Mob deserves."[115] Kirsten Carey of The Mary Sue deemed the series' ending as "emotional", describing that its last arc added an important new message which made her cry, and it's one that had been building quietly throughout the series.[116]
