Review of Mob Psycho 100 II
The entire second season is literally carried by the fact that our previously plain water main character has obtained carbonation and is now spicy. I disliked season 1 but I had nothing better to do and this series was well-received so I thought I might as well finish S2. That being said, I do quite like Mob's growth arc. The writer at the time claimed he 'wanted to main something kind' - this was indeed achieved. Mob's insistence that people can change actually got through my blackened, shriveled, cynical misanthrope's shell. I also appreciate how rather than trying some horrific mash-up of slice of lifeand a plot, they just went straight with a plot instead. Although, the simplicity of 'here's a narcissistic bad guy who wants to take over the world' is a little dull. For this, I rate this anime a 6. If they had more creative enemies I might have considered a 7.
