It really is pretty good after all! I didn’t really know what to expect going in, but this is a show I kinda wish was around when I was younger.

It’s pretty good at speaking to introverted kids trying to find their place in the world in those awkward years, I think, without some cheesy, simple, “Surprise, you’re the chosen one!” sort of approach. This is all the more impressive given that they do have that protagonist is ridiculously powerful but doesn’t know how to channel it character trait going on here.

I can see now why it became so popular, even aside from it following the success of One-Punch Man.

I can’t believe I dropped it. But thankfully a really good friend recommended it so strongly I wanted to go back and give it a chance, despite the art style that at first was off putting. Ended up being one of my top five shows ever. Glad you liked it!

I was also skeptical! But I’m super glad I got around to watching it. Mob has very human problems even tho he’s bigger than life, and he loves and respects his friends!

Right? Also here’s how little I knew of it going in: I only knew the name of it and thought it might be an edgy show about some yakuza or something that was constantly going all out 😂

I love the self-improvement club bros. They are such bros.

I haven’t watched S3 yet because my partner finds the VA change too jarring, but the first 2 seasons were quite enjoyable.

S3 has some of the best animation of the series and is among the best work that studio bones has produced in recent times imo, if that means anything to you.

I loved the third season, it ended up in my “favourites” so to speak. Which doesn’t happen too often, after you’ve already seen most critically acclaimed anime titles.

IMO each season is progressively better than the previous one. And the first one was already great. The third season also concludes the story.

S03 left the most memorable impression on me, I’d recommend powering through ;)

No matter how old I get I still love watching Mob Psycho. When they released S3 I decided to rewatch S1 and S2 and it made me appreciate this show even more. Especially S2. Music, art, animations, character development, everything is just soo good. I’m still getting goosebumps while watching some fight scenes.
