Awesome episode, Mob wants to live life without cheats, he's a pro.

I'm continually impressed by the quality of this show and the writing. It subverts all my expectations, the totally inclusive body club, the internal struggle mob goes through all the while coupling it with solid humor. This is such a great show, competing with jojo p4 for best anime on right now and if it keeps it up I think it surpasses jojo for me.
Don't know about school but at gym I feel some of the big guys are some of the nicest people around.

My best friends are the ones I've met through working out, it just seems like in most fiction these guys would be total assholes. Here though they see mob genuinely wants to improve his body and they bring him in 100%.
not true, the manga has some references of OPM, saitama as reigen's cellphone wallpaper on episode 1 for example
anyway THIS EPISODE, HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKKK SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

I've seen enough shounen anime to know Teru will comeback as a friend. Between him, Reigen, and the Body Improvement Club, Mob is building quite an awesome crew

One correction to my earlier post: animator Akira Hamaguchi has tweeted that an animator worked uncredited on episode 5 whose work is easy to recognize, so it's very likely that Norio Matsumoto worked on the episode after all.
So they'll pretty much be in the show throughout in a similar capacity as they are now? Cool.
Teru lost none of it. Mob just absorbed whatever he was outputting at the time. What Teru really meant was that despite his proficiency for psychic powers, he's no different from an "average person" relative to Mob at ???%

Every other episode feels like a new peak. Same feeling as OPM. Cannot get enough.

I just slammed 5 of these episodes in a row, holy shit it's great.
The Body Improvement Club is awesome.
The Body Improvement Club is awesome.
Best minor characters in a while. Total bros, but in a great way.
This show is amazing. Art style fits it perfectly.
That's part of the appeal of One's writing in OPM and MP100 he knows what people expect and he plays with your expectations.
Killing off Dimple (seemingly) is one of those things too. From the past two episodes you'd think he'd stick around at least for a while, as a sort of side-kick or something-- or at least someone Mob can bounce ideas from (so it's not all internal monologue), but nope-- he's killed with no closure at all.
Not enough waifus and fan-service.

Got my friend into watching it and he says its the best anime he's ever watched. Then he lamented watching Fairy Tale for a hundred something episodes, lol.
Something I just noticed is that the opening is slowly evolving if you compare it in the first four episodes to the version in episode 5, specifically in the sequence right before the main chorus kicks in.
Before you saw a glimpse of a hooded figure before going to the gas mask person. Now you see the hooded person walking towards the camera before cutting faster to the gas mask and group shot who are also less shadowed than before. I guess it means we're closer to seeing them unveiled in the show itself.
I always like evolving openings or ones where they'll change suddenly like that special version of the second opening of Stardust Crusaders.

And given the pace we're going that is quite true.

Just watched episodes 1 through 5.
Really enjoying it so far. Body Improvement Club is great, Mob is great.
One thing I sorta started doing after episode 3's explanation of why Mob acts so emotionless was fill in. It's weird, but Mob's counter and him specifically having a constant blank face (for the most part) does a good job in cluing the viewer on how Mob feels about everything around him.
And the OP is supposed to represent what's going in Mob's head, right? For most of it, that's how I was interpreting it anyway.
This show is actually giving me a bigger itch to read the manga than OPM ever did. OPM sorta showed you per episode, and you enjoyed the spectacle of it. MP100 seems more character focused (although sometimes Mob reminds me alot of Saitama, except Saitama more openly expresses himself and is self-confident. Might just be the humor though).
Anyways, if ONE has any other properties, I'd like to learn now, to see what will be next year's AOTY (just gonna predict that for this show right now)

I am absolutely planning to watch this with my two friends. There's no fucking way they don't get engrossed in it after that first episode.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is another one if any of them love sci-fi.
Hear hear. Only thing I dislike is the female uniforms. I feel they take away from the tone of the series.
New episode today!
I want to know what he thinks of G.A.T.E. (get to ep. 6) and Log Horizon (get to ep. 8)!

What I really like about this show is that the animation is very good even outside of big fight scenes. Many an anime would cut down on the animation during dialogues to go all out for the fights, but here it seems very consistent throughout.
Yeah I noticed there was something different but couldn't quite place it. Good catch.
And yes the za waruldo version of the SC opening is so good.

Yeah, the one with the sound effects is one of my favorite openings.

Mob Psycho 100 6
After the last two episodes full of visual treats, we needed this episode where not much happened visually I guess. There was the really great shot where the guy's face is being erased/watered down though which actually looked very fucking nice.
Nice to see an episode on Kageyama, found his character interesting so an episode focusing on his insecurities due this brother/his inabilities is great. Looks like next episode we'll continue with that.
Though I'm confused over the Vice-president's comment
This show really got over its initial weak hump of humor episodes to go to arcs, which did wonders.
It detracts from the show, but I'm not going to hold it against this specific show when it's the norm of the industry to have eye candy ladies.

I mean it's pretty clear the vice president knows about Mob's powers and apparently how strong he is

I thought this Mob Psycho ep was really visually interesting, especially during this scene -
Guess we're finally getting to the part the opening teased regarding Ritsu. And Dimpl's back! Though now it seems he'll try to latch on to the younger Kageyama who's probably more open to suggestion and willing to please as we saw when went beyond the call of duty to frame Onigawara.
I just find it sad that a show that hits so many notes right messed that up.

That blond haired firestarter guy looked like the esper from the last few episodes. I was a little confused at first.

It's disappointing, but considering the previous version apparently also had that issue, and the anime industry, it's like a frustration I have more with the industry.

The original 1974 Yamato series had barely any female characters to speak of; Yuki was the only notable one and she would get continually sexually harassed by the robot Analyzer.
