Oddly enough this has probably one of the better, if not best, original score tracks to it I've yet seen this season---neat!
Rest of the show is looking promising as well.

Not that odd; the composer is Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor), who has been doing excellent soundtrack work lately on anime such as Perfect Insider and Joker Game. I look forward to hearing the rest of his work on Mob Psycho.

Well, moreso I mean I went into this with no expectations as to the staff and whatnot and was pleasantly surprised when I started checking backwards on it, heh!
Very different style than the rest of the season it seems---which I suppose fits right in with the plot and whatnot.

Great first episode. The art direction and animation were just fantastic. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Opening song is great, as expected. The OP theme releases next month, so looking forward to hearing the full version of it.
I'm interested in where the story will go. It's not the most compelling thing thus far, but I'm sure it'll pick up, since this was very much an exposition and introductory episode.

I actually think the OP song isn't all that great. To go from the hilarious metal One Punch Man to this more poppy rock song leaves me disappointed. More Anime should have hilarious hard rock/metal OPs

Hey, sure. There's appeal to JAM Project's bombast. But animation wise MS100 slays

Studio Bones can't do anything wrong.

Let me tell you about Captain Earth
I would say 9 out 10 bones anime is bad, but there still one of the better studios with that track record.
MOB 100 Ep 1
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
What a start. I love the characters, the animation, the soundtrack, and the freaking OP...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20...
Here's the OP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgSUPgvDu78
Enjoy

There are parts of the Mob Pyscho 100 opening that tread more into punk that shapes a harder and more unique edge than the over the top and very commercial showmanship of something like OPM's opening. MP100's opening song feels like the perfect fit for me.

If this is the Savior of anime anime is fucked. They ran the teacher/student gimmick right into the ground in 1 episode.
At least it's pretty.

tbh I've watched the OP about 15 times already.
Watched the promo-clip they showed on Facebook (Crunchyroll)......after signing up for a free trail of Crunchyroll, I watched Mob Psycho 100's first episode and man, I was was very impressed.
The characters all have room for development and growth, the animation is fantastic and the effects for all the psychic abilities are a treat to watch. Very interested in seeing where Mob and his 'teacher' are going to end up character wise as the show goes on, but overall, I loved what I watched.

I can't believe how awesome this is. It goes beyond every expectation I had. Anime of the year.

What a great first Ep. OP is almost as good as Diamond is Unbreakable's OP 2, and the characters are pretty fun. Worried that the Sensei / Student thing is gonna get old fast, but hopefully Mob gets his time to shine amongst peers that aren't using him to make a buck.

Even though I thought it was amazing, I'm kind of surprised by the number of people who don't care for it. I guess the comedy style is pretty on or off.
I'll watch the first episode when I get home today.
I'm waiting for the
Psychic/Esper Battle at school.
That's not how budgets work on two entirely different projects with their own producers...

I hope word of mouth put this first place on the charts.
It'll be interesting to see what the reaction to the next episodes is going to be. There's going to be a lot less action here than in OPM. They very intentionally wanted action in this first episode by using omake materal in the latter half, so I wonder if they're going to add more action setpieces throughout the series early on.
edit: forgot that the later stuff was omake material

Wow that was fantastic! It's crazy how faithful it looks to the original ONE art yet still manages to look much more refined and expressive through the animation. They took a lot of liberties with the story and pacing that I appreciate as well. Fitting the Omake chapter in was great and I hope they do that for the future Omake chapters, because there are some pretty hilarious ones.
Bones did a fine job here and if they can maintain this level of quality, this will easily be one of the best shows of the year. Reigen is da best.

I see people wondering why the name of the show is kinda goofy and you'll be shocked to learn that its a pun.
Mob is "Mobu" which is like the equivalent to John Doe in English. Plain, everyman, not standout.
Psycho sounds like "Saikyou" which translates to #1, the greatest, the best etc

interesting
i like what they did with the final monster ghost from the episode, that part wasn't in the omake chapter, i guess they just wanna show how strong mob is
not sure what's the point of the beginning scene though

I can't appreciate Japanese puns without a polar bear making them.

Best OP this season animation wise. I like the song too. Art direction and animation is great. Humor could be hit or miss, but it mostly a hit for me. BASED REIGEN.
They are heartless fiends.
Yaaas, really good! They really kept true to ONE's style, translated reaaallly well. I like the added psychedelic colors and effects as well. Animation, movement is great. The intro was a bit too.... intense, or busy to my liking, but it feels like one of those songs that will click after a few times. Overall: awesome.

Seen the first episode, solid stuff, VA that fits Reigen and Mob and animation that just works so well with One's art style. If they keep it this good throughout the season, things are gonna be so hype with what they seem to be covering, based on the OP. The broccoli!

Took a couple episodes for OPM to work for me actually. Had some decent world building that made it interesting beyond its gimmick. So I wouldn't be surprised if MS100 takes a bit too.
Personally, i got hooked on OPM from the start, becaue I could see how much they flipped a well known premise to their ownversion. Can't see it yet with Mob100
