In which a teenager got rejected by their crush, thanks them for their honest reply, goes tell their friends that they got rejected, cries openly with friends while they comfort them. Everyone needs this. So simple yet so many things get in the way. Just pure acceptance on every level.

The mangaka said he wanted to write a big story about one small step, and I think a lot of us needed a story like that.

FINALLY some tsubomi appreciation. i saw someone once say that the end of mob psycho makes you like every character more "except tsubomi" and i was like wtf are you even talking about??? she waited through the goddamn apocalypse bearing down on her because she didn't want to break a promise to her friend???

I could've listened to another hour of this. this show makes me feel heard more than most

This anime is honestly one of those pieces of media that can alter how you define yourself and want to live your life. Thank you so much for all of the in-depth videos you've done for this series

The fact that One made a character like Reigen, someone who should be a despicable con artist with the worst track record possible into my favorite character through sheer compelling writing is definitely a big achievement.

I do really appreciate how much Tsubomi gets characterized in her own arc. They don't retcon anything and show that it actually takes a lot of character to reject someone like Mob. She walks her own path and that gives her a lot more personality than you get out of a lot of women in anime.

Someone once mentioned that Dimple is the first person to bridge the gap to ???% because he's been unfailingly honest, and I love that. Shigeo knows Dimple always says it like it is without hiding anything. While Mob was brainwashed into forgetting Dimple's sacrifice, ???% (Mob's subconscious) would remember. Most importantly, Dimple accepts the worst parts of himself without hesitation, something ???% wants Mob to do; accept every dark and negative emotion he's suppressed. Out of all Mob's friends, Dimple was the only one who ???% trusted completely.

I think that ONE is just an absolute genius of a writer

It's too bad this didn't include some introspection on Teru and his fantastic final battle with Shigeo. He basically mirrors Mob's own growth, essentially winning their fight by losing it physically. But prevailing with all his and Mob's ideals protected and confirmed by saving lives and acknowledging the struggles that Mob was facing at the same time.

mob psycho literally changed my life i dont care if its cheesy or childish. im someone who has depression since 4th grade, and mp100 genuinely changed my perspective on life and helped me through some of my recent rock bottom times. although it didnt cure me, it definitely changed me significantly. being able to relate to shigeo so deeply despite not being a 14 year old with supernatural powers but just because he portrayed the way i felt inside so accurately and then being able to see him change and evolve as a person gave me hope and motivation to change myself. i really dont care how silly it seems. it will forever be my favorite show of all time and i will forever cherish it in my heart. it prompted me to change myself, to decide to recover from my multiple mental illnesses, as well as take better care of myself and to open up to the people around me.

I love how Dimple and Reigen are both kinda... bad guys in some ways, but also really good guys too. Especially toward Mob and both help Mob grow to be a legitimately good person and Mob, likewise, influences Reigen and Dimple to be better people too. I love it.

this show came into my life when i was in a real bad place. i felt i was both superior to and less than my peers, was lashing out, hurting people online, wanting to cause others harm. this show really helped me wake up, realize that we're all just people, no one is inherently better than anyone else. that i needed to grow the hell up, and be kind. and you know what? i did. and ive come a long ways from when i was that hurting teenager, and i couldnt be more proud of myself. at that time, i thought i would take my life before i turned twenty, and my twentieth birthday is coming up in a few more months. it gets better, i promise.

Seeing Mob do a full belly laugh with full happiness and confidence is the most fulfilling thing to see after this whole AMAZING story. This will ALWAYS be my favorite anime of all time.

The character arc that genuinely hit the hardest for me was Serizawa's. Seriously, the phrase "it's never too late to start" is always thrown around, but it hits different seeing it in action. It was actually touching to see him redo his schooling with true enjoyment.

Honestly this show helped me get out of alcoholism, take MmA as a hobby, and spend more quality time with with my little sister.

When Season 2 of Mob Psycho aired, I finally decided to join my high school’s track and field club in sophomore year after backing out as a freshman. Now I’m running in my spare time and have even won some divisions for 5K marathons. I’ve also been improving on my communication skills and am willing to talk to people more, so I see a lot of myself in Mob. Thanks for this final retrospective, Geoff. On an unrelated note, 2:32 SUMMER TIME RENDERING VIDEO!! YES!

i genuinely love mob psycho, definitely top 3 anime for me. but one of things i love the most abt it, is how everyone is a walking contradiction (kinda displays humanity overall) but mob having a gentle nature, yet intense destructive power, ritsu is resentful yet caring for his brother, reigen being a con artist yet a good guy, tsubomi being popular but not swayed by anyone. terus superiority complex about being humble. damn even onigawara being a punk yet having 100% school attendance is funny. overall great character development/relate-ability, gonna miss it airing every wednesday.

Rarely been so emotive at the end of a show. Shivers just thinking about that journey.
