That catfish monster seems like the most self-aware of the monsters so far. But it's not as if the monster ratings are an indication of their strength, but rather the level of destruction to be expected from them.

Unless the manga's popularity tanks or extenuating circumstances, it'll probably happen. Murata's still not even close to getting to the meat of the current arc though so it's going to be a very long way away. Might take him 3 years to finish it up yet.

I don't why they would not, especially with how enthusiastic the animators are about the show.

We just need to get past this arc in the manga. And then wait years as we need to get past the next arc.

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


I think it pretty much went more than well enough. I mean they chose to adapt Mob into an anime following OPM so I think a second season is good to go as soon as there's enough content for it.

Josuke Higashikata

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out there wasn't a huge correlation between OPM's anime being successful and Mob Psycho getting one. MP100 is being made by a different studio and its manga is published by a different company to OPM even though they obviously share ONE as an author.

Well Mob Psycho got an anime because it was the most popular series in Ura Sundays "turn this series into an anime" poll. So besides the popularity of OPM maybe helping MP100, there is in fact no correlation.

Maybe it got an anime because it is very good and popular and they think it would be successful?

There was literally a vote that MP100 won. But yes, clearly it being good had something to do with it being allowed to go through that process.

Of course they're gonna do a S2 of OPM. It got a lot of traction on the internet and did well generally. HOPEFULLY they will simply wait and take their time with the 2nd season until there's enough content ready and all parties are ready to work on it. No studio filler and padded episodes neck to neck with the manga plz

I just mean that the good anime of OPM could easily add more interest and popularity in Mob. Which is a good thing! A very good thing.

Cause and effect are very complicated.

I know I've been using the OPM anime's popularity as an excuse to tell more people about Mob Psycho 100.

OPM and Mob Psycho are honestly very different comics.

They are, however, both very good comics.

Mob Psycho 100 has the best character in the whole ONE universe, Reigen Arataka, and is worth witnessing for him alone (and all the other good poo poo about Mob Psycho 100.)

He combines the raw power of King with the wisdom and deep emotional insights of Caped Baldy.

Honestly comparing the two strikes me as meaningless since there will never be enough of both. They're both fantastic.

There's a certain plotline or happening, maybe half way through by current chap count, in MP100 which is just ridiculously funny. I can't imagine anyone not fully falling in love with MP100 after that, if they hadn't already.

I recently read Mob because of these forums and I may be misrepresenting Mob as a whole but Reigen kicking rear end was some of the most satisfying moments that I've ever read in a manga and I totally feel where all the hype was coming from.
