Added 2022-12-22 12:32:08 +0000 UTC**Headphone warning lol**
Hey everyone! Here I am with more Mob Psycho 100 - episode 12 of the third season!!!! WOW!!!! I think this was the perfect way to wrap up the series - Mob coming to terms with both parts of himself, and accepting them. Also, Reigen being totally honest with Mob for the first time ever! I love their journey together. Oh yeah and DIMPLE!!!! I wanted to hug my poor boy so bad when he got rejected!!! Wow, everyone is doing so well in the future! I couldn't be more proud! What a way to end the series - with Mob heartily laughing! I'll miss this show but I'm so pleased! What a great ep, season and series! Enjoy! ~ MH

There's definitely more that I haven't finished, just a few like Clone Wars and Hunter x Hunter (did arcs not seasons, but super long lol). It's weird to just totally wrap up a series, especially since we don't know if they'll adapt any other chapters for this one into an OVA or something! It's really nice and full circle to have this ultimately center around Mob and Reigen, I agree. YES you totally called it about Dimple!! Yes, that quote really said it all. So true about Tsubomi, Mob really needed to learn to love and accept himself first anyway, plus I agree that they're super young! So well said - all of Mob's bonds are because of him the person, not the powers. AWWWWW I didn't remember that actually, about Reigen's last birthday, omg!!! That makes it even more special! I dare say this was Reigen's ultimate move! It's been an awesome ride!!! Yeah, I'm thinking of maybe rearranging with MHA on Weds, I just hate delaying anything, feels like I'm taking something away! I'll get it figured out for sure once Spy x Family ends!

Such a great moment! He proved himself for sure. I know, Mob/Shigeo is doing so awesome in the epilogue! The hair really suits Teru lol! True that more workers means less relying on Mob too. So true about Tsubomi, he really does have more confidence to talk to her so much now! Oh, the ending laugh was so beautiful, so true that while no one is ever totally done growing in life, he's taken a big step in the right direction. I couldn't agree more with your summation, it's so well said! Thank you Mob/Shigeo, it's been a pleasure!!! :D

2022-12-24 17:19:36 +0000 UTCNow correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the first show with MULTIPLE seasons that you’ve managed to react to from start to finish? I think that might actually be the case here. I suppose we’d have to dig into the archives. (You’ve done plenty one of one offs, aka Parasyte, Chernobyl, etc., and others you’re caught up on but they’re not finished - RWBY for example.) So I think this might be a channel milestone. 🎉 The key relationship in this series from Episode 1, up until now, has always been Mob and Reigen. So it only makes sense that it would be the key to the final problem. The focus is on Mob coming to terms with both sides of himself, but in a way, Reigen’s confession is him basically admitting his own demons and trying to come to terms with them. I’m just going to pat myself on the back for calling Dimple having a part to play in the last arc. This entire series was summed up in the original theme that was playing when Reigen was trying to catch up: “Mob - what do you want?” I think on some level Tsubomi is the pinnacle of an ideal relationship for him, but he needed to accept himself regardless of what she did. And also, she said she didn’t see him that way yet. They’re in middle school. And it sounds like they’re still friends and have become more so. Who’s to say? They have their whole life ahead of them. Mob was accepted by so many people not because of his powers, but because of who he is as a person. The powers are just a bonus. I don’t know if you caught on to the weight the last scene carried for Reigen but if you recall, the last time he had a birthday, he had just gotten in a argument with Mob and was basically alone in a bar with no one caring. So everything got completely turned on its head this time around… well, in the cake’s case, literally. 😂 “This is one of Reigen’s special moves,” where despite all the conniving, lying, manipulation and salt tossing, he actually turns out to be a surprisingly decent friend. It’s been quite a ride, hasn’t it? PS: As your Thursday slot is emptying, you were talking about schedule adjusting. I’ll just point out that as far as moving shows around, you have two on Tuesday that will both be ongoing for a while. So it might not be a bad idea to slide one of them over to fill the empty slot. Just random ideas. 😎

I have to admit that when the song from the first opening started playing in the background, I got chills. What better way to give a good dose of nostalgia both visually and audibly, all while supporting the development of Mob and Reigen's relationship. Speaking of chills, I also got some when Dimple came back. Even if when Reigen loses consciousness, I said to myself "Dimple it's a good time to come back, if you come back", I didn't think I was so right. Two of the most important people in Mob's life who team up to calm him down, and Reigen who once again proves he's the MVP by facing Mob one-on-one and revealing his true colors to him. The epilogue that finally shows that everything is fine, Mob, sorry, Shigeo is still surrounded by people who love him, that he has enough confidence in him now to be vice captain and sempai that people look up to. His relationship with his brother and Teru looking good (I had the same reaction as you with Teru's new haircut, it suits him very well). Serizawa and Tome who works for Reigen, which means that if Mob still works there from time to time, he is even more at home than before. Besides, seeing Reigen come home with Dimple makes me wonder if the two have not also become friends to the point that Dimple helps Reigen fight against yokai and other ghosts via possession. Without forgetting that he now speaks with Tsubomi almost every day on the phone, he who had trouble approaching her and was content to observe her from afar, in other words there is hope between them. And ending with Shigeo laughing heartily, 100% him, 100% true and honest, is the perfect picture illustrating his path. It's not finished, but has reached a crucial point to move in the right direction. This series will remain in the hearts of many people the studio managed it with respect and love, it really feels, they put everything they wanted into it and even more, to make it something that deserves to be known. A story that under the guise of the paranormal and psychic powers, is above all a human story about evolution, being honest with oneself, acceptance of all kinds, relationship and bond, a story about life in the end. Goodbye Mob, Shigeo, you won't be forgotten, and thank you.
