Mob Psycho 100: The Action-Comedy Rescuer OPM Fans Deserve
Mob Psycho 100 follows The story of Shigeo Kageyama, aka Mob — a quiet, awkward middle-school kid who just so happens to be one of the strongest psychics on Earth.
But here’s the twist:
Mob doesn’t care about being powerful. He just wants to live a normal life, impress his crush, make friends, and stop being socially awkward.
His mentor, Reigen, is a con artist “psychic” with zero actual powers but infinite charisma, moral advice, and scamming skills. The dynamic between Mob and Reigen alone is enough to carry an entire show.
But as Mob’s emotions build up, his power literally hits 100%, leading to explosive battles, psychic meltdowns, and some of the best emotional moments in modern anime.
What Makes It an Action-Comedy Masterpiece
1/ Insane Animation (Yes, consistently)
While OPM S3 disappointed fans with stiff movement and weak direction, Mob Psycho never drops the ball.
Every season is stacked with fluid animation, creative visuals, and wild psychic effects.
Bones Studio treated it like their golden child.
2/ Comedy That Actually Lands
Reigen alone is a comedy god:
- Fake exorcisms
- Overconfident nonsense
- “Life advice” that’s somehow both terrible and profound
The humor is quick, clean, and blends perfectly with the show’s emotional core.
3/ Characters With Actual Heart
Mob Psycho fools you with its goofy art style, then hits you with:
- Lessons about identity
- Healthy friendships
- Emotional growth
- Self-worth
- Recognizing manipulative relationships
- Becoming a better version of yourself
It’s basically an action series with the soul of a therapy session.
4/ The Action Is Wild
When psychic battles go off, they go off.
City-bending explosions, supernatural creatures, teleport-speed duels — and all of it animated in Bones’ house style that puts many big-name shows to shame.
5/ Better Than OPM S3 for Disappointed Fans
If OPM Season 3 left you craving:
✔ consistent animation
✔ powerful emotional arcs
✔ god-tier fight direction
…Mob Psycho is the perfect rebound anime.
It has similar humor, creator (ONE), and supernatural flair — but with better pacing, stronger writing, and no production collapse.
Why You Should Give It a Try
- It’s short and tightly paced (no filler)
- Hilarious but meaningful
- Amazing fight scenes
- Top-tier soundtrack
- Characters that actually grow
- The ending is satisfying and complete
Mob Psycho doesn’t waste your time — every season improves, every arc matters, every emotional beat hits.
⭐ Final Rating: 9.3/10
A modern classic.
A masterclass in balancing humor, action, and genuine emotion.
If OPM Season 3 broke your trust, Mob Psycho will fix it.
