Nice interview with ONE and the anime's director here.
There are some spoilers but nothing earth shattering, in my opinion, so keep it in mind before you read.

I still haven't gotten around to reading this but after having seen the first episode this has rocketed up to Flying Witch's level of shows competing for aoty.

The ED is a solo work by Miyuki Sato, the person who did the painted stuff in episode 1.

Surprised they brought the latter half of this episode so far forward, it doesn't hurt a thing thanks to the set up though.

The ending is a work of art. Amazing!

Yeah, moving that girl's school exorcism to this point was a really good decision imo. It fits better here than where it is in the manga even imo.

A lot of the little exorcism adventures with Mob and Reigen are pretty self contained, so it's cool that they can place them where they need to thematically.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Goddamn this is good. Mob is the hero shonen deserves.

Awww man, it's too bad they shortened so many scenes from the manga. The leadup to the porn sites joke is still one of my favorite sequences.

The episode flows really well, though, and the jokes that made it in are excellent. The ED song sucks but the animation is flawless.

Really great episode. In my head, I was hoping for them to clifflhang with the end of Chapter 5, but this flowed super super well the way it is. Also that ED is super super amazing.

Mob is at 40%

No, Reigan was in the first episode. The Body Improvement Club was this episode :colbert:

Right. So, the best mentor was in the first episode of Mob Psycho 100, and the second best mentor was in the first episode of One Punch Man. Got it.

Listen, I am filled with a boundless love for all creatures great and small, but you are walking a dangerous line here. Clearly the Body Improvement Club is the best.

Correct. The body improvement club is the best at looking after Mob while Reigen is away and Mob does not have a One Punch Man comic to teach him valuable life lessons.

The joke that the intimidating Body Improvement club is actually real cool and are super stoked to let frail Mob join is the best.

The ending to this episode is what made me going from thinking "this is a good manga" to "this is an amazing manga." I just love how it manages to be both completely out of left field and also make perfect sense with everything about Mob's character.

I don't know why this J-Rock song fits so well with Reigen waking up in a grey world then finding color in his life via Mob, but it just does. Someone please explain.
