About Mob Psycho 100

Socially awkward eighth-grader Shigeo 'Mob' Kageyama possesses world-bending telekinesis yet joins his school's Body Improvement Club because psychic powers cannot earn real confidence or friendship. Studio Bones B-team unleashes paint-on-glass and freeform hand-drawn spectacle across thirty-seven complete episodes while celebrating kindness over raw strength. Showcases experimental animation—including Miyo Sato's paint-on-glass sequences—with unbridled creative freedom. Builds anime's warmest mentor bond around lovable charlatan Reigen Arataka and earnest student Mob. Adapts creator ONE's entire manga to a deeply satisfying conclusion in thirty-seven crisp episodes. Subverts power-scaling culture through wholesome Body Improvement Club athletes who protect Mob without powers.
