I'm really interested to see what happens. It's either going to be a fascinating transition for the series, or it's going to be fucking terrible. I don't see a third possibility.

So, what happened here, and what is the takeaway supposed to be?

When I said that this two-parter was a schadenfreude gold mine, I meant it.

It might not be literal, but it is true. It is an accurate artistic representation.

Weird in a different way than MP100 normally is.

That was a weird one.

...is it just me, or have half the things I've been reviewing lately been really Nietzschean?

Well. I'll be damned.

So, that was season one of Mob Psycho 100.

Without the mask, his voice sounds...normal. Just normal. In fact, all the Scars are being drawn as slightly less weird looking now, as well, to reinforce Arataka's point.

If he painted it red, would it have a faster swing? I think it might.

So far, this episode has been a welcome return to form while still continuing the Claw subplot.

This is One Punch Man without the comedy.

Remember how funny this show can be, sometimes? I hope it does that again soon.

Also, we see a close-up of him here, and boy I wasn't kidding when I said Chinzilla looks like something out of a Cronenberg-inspired drug trip.

Despite the unusually high concentration of jank, I do like where this seems to be going.

Looks like the wannabe-supervillain had his fortress raided and his subjects kidnapped by an actual supervillain.

This show is certainly getting heavier than I expected it to.

Mob Psycho 100 just started having a plot!

I have no idea what to say about this one.
