Review of Mob Psycho 100 II
Spoilers up ahead ONE has done it again, Studio Bones has done it again. Mob Psycho 100 II is one of the best shows ever made. It is a great example of a character driven story with incredible animation, heart warming moments, great comedy and well done character interactions. Story 8: The story is quite simple and well done, the way Claw and other story threads are woven together to make a clear and coherent is well done. Generally it has a simple premise of daily occurrences in Mob's world. A school marathon, performing jobs for the Spirits and Such Consultation Office, failure to adapt to new things.And then brought to a thrilling and satisfying conclusion with the head of Claw and his ideology facing Mob's.
Art 10:
Studio Bones has once again saved anime with the level of skill in the art. Episode 5 stands out as having one of the most amazing battles in anime with solely it's artistic aspect. However through the rest of the series as the animation style is consistently at a very high standard, and follows ONE's drawings. Also the lapses in the continuous art style for comedic effect are well done and also fit their role. Some of the best art in anime in this show.
Sound 9:
Extremely good voice acting that fits well and is believable, Dimple's voice actor especially at the end of episode 8. This leads to a more consistent experience where I can easily suspend my disbelief. The sound effects are also well done.
Character 10:
The highlight of this show is the characters and their own arcs. Reigen's arc especially good with his understanding how he could not hold on Mob forever and learning that the hard way. Mob constantly trying his hardest to be the best without his powers. Mob also being forgiving to everyone he can, trying to shine a light on things. And also his clash with the head of Claw's ideology, that fight showed what Mob is really about, whether you are part of the world or above it. It also carries on the superiority complex from the main villains of last season and applies it on a broader sense. Also what's more the villains from last time have reflected on their misdeeds and are now correcting themselves as part of society.
Enjoyment 10:
Mob has a lot on the surface to enjoy, the fights, the animation, the comedy. But it also has a more implicit deeper meaning to explore. I really enjoy seeing what shows have to offer in their "philosophy" and found that Mob provided it in abundance. There was much to enjoy with that and a great show to go along with that.
Overall 10:
Mob Psycho 100 II has made its way into my number 1 spot of all time thanks to everything that went into it. Truly deserving of the 9+ it has on MAL, (at the time of writing this). This show is sure to become a classic down the years.
