Mob Psycho 100 is so good... I love it with my whole being. So here is a random audio that I thought was funny and fitted the characters, and then spend way too much time animating. It was fun though.
LITERALLY THE PERFECT EXAMPLE REAL
black cat and golden retriever trope is cute but overused it's time for black dog and orange tabby to be a thing. for example:
In case anyone wondered my opinion on AI art
Okay wait so something just struck me
Can you imagine, like in Mob Psycho 100, Reigen’s safety just becomes like. A top level priority for the government.
Like Reigen is, or is at least partially, the reason all these Uber powerful psychics are living normal ass lives. Maybe even if it’s just tangentially. Either way, Mob would absolutely lose it if Reigen got hurt. And god forbid if something worse we’re to happen to him, those responsible would have to deal with several extremely powerful extremely pissed off psychics. They might not even care about Reigen specifically. But Reigen being hurt hurts Mob. And you can’t hurt Mob. Hurting mob is a crime against humanity
So like. What if at one point Joseph From The Government just sees this guy who has Zero Percent Psychic Power and One Hundred Percent Direct Relation To Powerful Psychics just throwing his ass into danger for Something and Mob/Teruki/Serizawa/(insert other psychics because I’m forgetting people) just losing all their braincells going after him and he’s like oh my god. Someone put this man in a tucking hamster ball he cannot be allowed to be hurt for any reason ever Japan would not survive this
I CRY LAUGH EVERYTIME SOMEONE DRAWS HIM WITH THE ARCH SOBBING

edit: added alt text, thank you @peachygos for the descriptions!
edit 2: to everyone saying "studio bones started it" yeah i know. but arent we all the fools who are playing right along their little game
something I love about the mob psycho finale was the implication of when Shigeo called Reigen a stranger, dismissing absolutely everything he had ever done for him, but the thing is, he was not wrong at all. the point is that both Shigeo and Mob are right, Reigen has helped him through so much, he doesn't see him any differently despite his powers, but he also is a liar and a fraud. a stranger, even.
using the word stranger is actually such a powerful thing to mention at all because it implies that they both showed sides of eachother that they regarded to be their "fake" selves, the persona they put up to mask their true feelings and intentions.
when Reigen says "this is the real me", he's not referring to just anything. he's saying he's not putting up that mask he always puts around everyone and that he's letting Shigeo, all of him, the good and the bad, see him for who he truly is, just like how Reigen saw all of him now. he's saying he's letting him see all of him instead of hiding it like he used to before, without Shigeo having to pry it out of him. they both know eachother so well, but at the same time, they don't know each other at all. they're the closest person they have to one another and yet they also don't know a fucking thing.
and that's the point. they'll learn about each other and themselves as they go along, trusting that the other will accept all of them, because that's what it's all about. it's all about trust and making connections, relationships that help you develop and become a better person, and I think that's beautiful. I just... love this story, man.
Some miscellaneous doodles from a Whiteboard I was in :)
sometimes i see mp100 fans picking the quote “you’re the protagonist of your own life” for their artwork and blog and im like “ah yes, reigen said that :) i like that quote” and then i remember he looked like this when he said it
this part was so cool omg
