While there definitely is focus on particularly Mob's psyche, the dominance of comic scenes is what makes me feel like thats the shows forte.
Yamato 2199 crushing KLK was the best thing to happen for AOTY.
The power of the AnimeGAF cabal.

Duckroll. Also every "monocle" in the Anime OT was gunning for it.
Yamato delivered, KLK didn't. I mean, that's what it should come down to.
Sure but most of the time it doesn't. This show will probably be lucky to get into the top 3 this year sadly.

Holy shit these last two episodes were goddamn amazing. Best of the show yet.
Also, Reigen coming in to save Mob from the con men felt so nice. It's not a moment you'd expect to enjoy so much, but it does such a damn good job showing that he cares for Mob.

Yamato isn't that niche in content, except in that its distribution method caused it to have difficulty gaining visibility outside Japan. It's basically Star Trek.
I don't know; I don't think there's too many more popular contenders for 2016 TV anime. My Hero Academia and Re:Zero I guess would be the other broadly popular anime I've noticed. Kabaneri and Erased started out popular, but people lost interest in them as they wore on.
I foresee a top 4 in some order of Rakugo, DiU, Mob Psycho and Re:Zero
Should I be watching Re:Zero? Been out of the Anime loop all year.

It has a cool concept but it ends there, really. Most of the time I'm like "anime was a mistake" while watching it. I'm still watching it, though. lol.
I've heard a lot about Re:Zero, so I guess I'll check it out sooner than later.
...*sigh*
'Course. I was originally gonna write some snide remark at the end of the original post but I figured that'd be too cynical. Well, I'll give it a shot anyways.

It's... okay? I started watching it only because of how popular it seemed. I feel like its popularity is boosted a lot by basically being a fantasy about a normal dude whisked away into a world of waifus rather than being that interesting.
I started watching it after seeing a lot of positive reaction to it. Was not a fan at all after watching a good chunk of the season, although I won't get into why due to spoilers. However, it seems that many do enjoy it so I may be in the minority here.

Re:Zero is far more interesting then something like Sword Art Online, but not interesting enough for me to watch all the way through and get invested enough in to wait forever for continuations. It ran into the Attack on Titan problem where nothing got resolved and more and more mysteries got piled up as a distraction, and that never ends up satisfying (FUCKING LOST)

I really can't wait for the claw arc finale (I imagine that'll be done as the climax of the next cour) to be animated. Should be incredible

Jesus, I wonder if they went all out in this fight scene because by the end of this season no other fight comes near so they had to

Can we stop with the spoilers/manga talk? good lord

Same here. That was the most incredible part of the manga. It takes Mob deep down into hell and pulls him back out again. I was excited like you could not believe after that was over, knowing how unbelievable season 2 was going to be with that in it.
Anything is on the table with Bones. If you told me that this fight would be better than the Teruki one based on the manga version, I wouldn't believe you.

No idea the show was headed in this direction. The first couple of episodes it was a straight comedy LOVE the change up.
Sorry I thought I was being vague enough.

Such an amazing episode and a truly fantastic show. Love it!
I haven't posted in this thread for a while. Man, am I thrilled with how it's been turning out.
This episode might be the most spectacular yet, with the most intense and technically marvelous animated fight between superpowered beings since... Birdy? At the very least, it certainly rivals the spectacular setpiece at the end of One Punch Man. But it's not merely a series of impressive fights. Mob Psycho 100 has surpassed its rival ONE adaptation by being a real story, about adolescence, the emotions we keep hidden inside, the struggle to be true to oneself in the face of the apparent superiority of others.
Mob Psycho expresses itself in pretty much every frame, using any animation technique available to push its story forward. When I look back on this show, I'm not just going to remember the fights. I'll remember Onigawara being erased in shame by his classmates' taunts in a blur of oil-on-glass smudges, the student council president being literally dwarfed and hounded by the presence of his successful older brother, Mob tainted with shadow by the realization that his brother had always feared him. This show rarely wastes an opportunity to show what it might otherwise just be telling.
Thanks to ONE's diverse, exaggerated character designs, as well as BONES's sharp attention to detail in every aspect of production, Mob Psycho 100 has built a surprisingly large cast of well-defined characters I like spending time with, and a tale of personal discovery I'm thrilled to see through. It's the obvious frontrunner, in my mind, for Anime of the Year. Nothing else has been in its orbit of quality so far since Ping Pong.

It was surpassed, hands down!
In terms of animation, pretty sure we're past OPM now lol.
I wasn't feeling Mob Psycho at first but its grown on me big time.
ONE is probably my favourite manga creator in the industry right now.
