the last ep of mob psycho is hilarious to me because like. if sakurai’s sword didnt actually cut reigen, why was he lying on the ground, face-down and completely silent, for like 3 minutes? why?? was it for dramatic effect?? that’s the only explanation i can think of
one of the many themes of mp100 is that both selfishness and generosity are important. rage and temperance. confidence and humility. fear and courage. happiness and sadness. you have to find the balance! and sometimes other people who are wildly different from you are that balance
“I wanted it to be something that feels kind. When I came up with the concept, I was thinking something along the lines of ‘kindness’ or ‘the connections between people’. It ended up being an action manga, but my original idea was a slice-of-life that happened to include superpowers.”
