Review of Mob Psycho 100 II

"Everyone grows because of their encounters with other people. People need other people." Mob Psycho season 2 did nothing short of blow me away. This is a season of anime that all aspiring artists should look to as a monument of storytelling and character development. This season was able to do so much more than the first, and I truly hope that season 2 of OPM follows a similar path. Bones really went above and beyond with this one, showcasing what is honestly the best animation I have ever seen before, each and every episode. Every second of this series is made up of so many individualpieces of beautiful art, which was able to consistently stun me.
I loved the VAs, and ever since I saw the premiere at Anime NYC, I was so sure that this season was going to be something special in terms of sound.
This season was what One Punch Man season 1 could have been, if the comedy was a bit better delivered, and the antagonist was given space to progress and develop. In such a short span of time I feel as though I have seen Mob come so far, and don't even get me started on Master Reigen.
I remember thinking Reigen was such an asshole when I first started season one, but now I can confidently say that he is in fact the goat.
Reigen delivered even more laughs in season 2 than season 1, and surprisingly, even a few tears. Episodes 6&7 both focused on Reigen and the process of him coming to terms with himself and his life thus far. The storytelling was powerful and the end of episode 7 brought so much joy to my heart.
I regret to think that at one point I was a Mob Psycho 100 hater, but now I can proudly label myself a Stan who will patiently wait for the series to finish off what ONE and the manga started.

“Just having powers doesn’t mean everything works out for you.
But that’s perfectly fine, as long as you make the important choices yourself.
I’m the protagonist of my own life.”

We can all learn a lot from Mob, his words, and his growth. I strongly recommend this series to all veterans of anime and newbies alike. This was a season that has the power to transcend anime, and redefine what we know about the medium. It's funny as fuck and doesn't need my melodramatic review but please watch :).
