Netflix continues to pick up top class anime, recently adding a hit that’s perfect for anyone seeking a good laugh.
Nonchalantly placed onto the service’s library recently, Mob Psycho 100 is an instant qualifier for the bestanime shows on Netflix. It’s a comedy about an oddball middle-school student who’s a super-powerful psychic. Between his abilities and the work of his con-man boss, Mob constantly gets dragged into messy situations that make finding normality difficult.
Now, both seasons are streaming on Netflix for subscribers in both the US and UK. Mob Psycho 100 was created by One, the same iconic mangaka as One Punch Man, and they share a satirical approach to genre storytelling.
The characters and situations are frequently tongue-in-cheek, though the tropes are a bit less overt than One Punch Man’s constant jokes about superheroes, andMarveland DC. Mob Psycho 100 is generally dakrer too, since the protagonist is more a tragic figure than the generally clueless Saitama.
In any case, it’s well worth finding out for yourself, since all 37 episodes, split across three seasons, are available for your viewing pleasure on Netflix.
