What happens when one of the strongest espers in the world just wants to live a quiet, ordinary life? Mob Psycho 100 blends incredible animation, emotional storytelling, and deeply sincere character growth as Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama learns to navigate friendships, self-worth, and overwhelming psychic power. Guided (and exploited) by the ever-questionable Reigen, Mob’s journey is equal parts hilarious, touching, and awe-inspiring — with some of the most creative visuals in modern anime.
The salt and pepper senpai, Brendan White is joined in the Riverside Studio by one of the co-founders of the Explosion Network, Ciaran aka Ringo, to share their thoughts on one of the greatest supernatural action comedies ever made, One and Bones 2016 hit, Mob Psycho 100.
At Sakura Society, we’re here to help you decide if this heartfelt, visually explosive masterpiece deserves a spot on your watchlist — and your soul.
