Review of Mob Psycho 100 II

*This review contains light SPOILERS* WHY I LIKED: ⬤ Character driven plot ⬤ Opening and ending songs ⬤ Top quality dynamic visuals, super smooth animation, Dimple scenes in particular ⬤ Decent situational comedy, unexpected little twists. Not a single dialouge is wasted at least. ⬤ The progressive story of Mob who is slowly becoming a socially acceptable person is actually identical to "worldbuilding" ⬤ Mob Psycho shows how effectively slice of life episodes can be used in order to create foundations of action-heavy episodes. The thin line between fantasy and real life problems is portrayed perfectly, maturely and it makes characters "believable". They have their own causes, motives, pasts and feelings soyou can actually tell the weight of every single action, every single punch is doubled with feels. Yet those feels always come out with humorous tone, become one with the art style and speak to audience. Musashi vs Shibata is a great example to it. Seriously now... "Are you not entertained !!"

As for slice of life episodes people disliked, I actually liked quite a few of them:
> Episode 1 was pure Romantic and Emotional. Still happpens to be my favourte of the bunch
> Episode 2 Urban Legends was ridiculously funny
> Episode 4-5 the most destructive episode and the most beautiful crying animation.
> Episode 7 was also an interesting milestone in terms of Mob-Reigen relationship.

WHY I DISLIKED:
⬤ In contrast with episode 2 (Dimple vs Dragger), epiode 5 (Mob vs Mogami), episode 10 (Musashi vs Shibata), episode 11 (Scar vs Shimazaki) and some other minor clashes, the final fight (Mob vs Suzuki Sr) was anticlimactic and lasted shorter than I imagined. It was surely on another level but it wasnt rewarding as the villain didnt live up to my expectations. I was expecting a rage moment or two but instead Mob got ahold of himself by seeing his broher's face. So be it..
⬤ The people can change motto is, I believe, overused as plot armor and it will damage Mob's character at some point. Mob should never resemble a simple-minded shounen MC.
⬤ Earlier episodes were as good as latter ones and surely accumulated alot of information for the final arc but still they were episodic. I am not a big fan of episodic animes. The show started to shine after episode 8 with Claw arc.

SUMMARY:
Mob Psycho might be the most succesful slice of life-action synthesis ever descended on earth! I can tell some viewers disapprove it but this is not your daily dose of dragonball.
Although season 2 is a late bloomer I find it better than the first season. Things have gotten a little bit serious as I expected.
One more thing ...Reigen self-defense !!! [[ 10/10 ]] !!
