This is the right place brotha.
Not much on that front this season though.
Have you seen Steins; Gate yet?
What the fuck is this shit?
Nah. I mean I like the Hero and it's magestic and all but Mob Choir is just so weird.

I don't think people are "saying" so much as they stating agreed about facts. Like the Earth rotates around the Sun, and that Mob Psycho 100 is better than One Punch Man.

Mp100 better than opm IMO. Not to mention the story is far more relatable

What is even happening? OPM is funnier, and has the better final fight. Just in terms of enjoyment I had a better time with OPM.
You're saying it doesn't take a few episodes for Mob to get going and doesn't drag in the first early episodes? Because I dropped the show because of the first two episodes. Only picked it back up because Crunchyroll kept constantly yammering about it. Didn't even start to really get interesting for me until episode 5.
Quoting this again, because...someone has translated the story summary for ID-0, which does suggest the overly lighthearted PV above is at least partially meant as misdirection. I guess you could say the trolling never ends!

I mean I like One Punch Man a lot but Mob Psycho is a lot better made and written, and doesn't get boggled down with unnecessary baggage like OPM. OPM's premise, while good and immediately captivating, hardly lends itself for extended storylines or anything like that, which is where the Murata manga fails.
OPM was clearly supposed to be a parody/gag series, while MP100 was more serious from the get-go. When they both moved towards the same direction, Mob's strengths just showed more.
In the end its like Eyes Wide Shut and Dr. Strangelove - I like Eyes Wide Shut just fine, but compared to the guys other stuff...

Like the argument with KLK & TTGL earlier, I was able to finish and enjoy Mob, but I cannot say the same about OPM.

Mob is the better Manga and show, but I'll rewatch one punch man anytime while mob psycho I need to come in with a the right mindset
I'll say that personally Murata's version of OPM falls as flat as the anime. Or almost. It has to be ONE's shitty stuff with sprinkles of 'whoa' to really that sweet spot of entertainment.
I've seen one punch man 3 times and enjoyed it each time. I haven't even bothered checking out the mob dub yet as I don't know if I care enough to rewatch it (I did put it in my top 10 last year, but it just doesn't have much rewatch appeal to me)
corn.... you are usually better than this
and here I was gonna let you know I am rewatching clannad and finding the relationship better this time around

KLK, OPM... this is not the same animeGAF anymore which I was so tsundere about.
to be fair this feels more correct than the bit of KLK talks I saw earlier.
most of the people saying TTGL was the better show don't usually agree with me on anything lol.
but in that case it isn't a contest.
TTGL is a bacon cheeseburger
KLK is a rice cracker with some bacon on it >.>

Sigh... Well... For the general consensus on AnimeGAF...
(I had a really great, funny gif here with OPM saying "Guess that settles that." And then an explosion goes off in the background. But Narag bullied me into submission. So, now it's gone.)
From a pure enjoyment and rewatchability standpoint, I would watch One Punch Man.
If I want to be bored the first few episodes but want to watch *some* character development, I would watch Mob Psycho 100. (Although, let's be real, Mob really isn't a different character than he is from the first episode. Not even his Sensei. Everyone else around them change.)

My love for the OPM manga has dwindled in the last year or so. I think the Murata version is paced horribly and kinda forgetting the entire point of the series to begin with. When you have long drawn out shonen arcs in a series that started out making fun of those tropes, then something is wrong.
That's why I'm kinda dreading how OPM S2 will be done since it's adapting the manga. Madhouse really needs to take some liberties and trim the fat. I still like the webcomic however, even though it gets a single chapter every 5 months or so.
Mob's character growth is the long game. It really goes to some great places.

Don't punish Clannad! Clannad is great stuff. Do it for me now. :,(
to be fair in my original watch I gave clannad a 8/10 and after story a 9/10 despite not finding the characters very charismatic or enjoyable (I liked the actual situations the characters were put in, but I still can't tell you who 75% of the female cast is lol)
due to my rewatch I have lowered clannad to a 7/10, but I have found the main male more interesting mostly cause I forgot how much of a dick he is.
Nagisa on the other hand is still super boring :/
I just got up to episode 13 on after story in my rewatch. Many feels will be felt soon. I forgot most of the stuff in the first 8 episodes, but in general my memories hold true that after story is much better.

it's not that hard you just got into history and hit the x.
you can also click a button to clear all history
or you merely watch videos like

granted that link might not help with that
I did have one problem with MP100, it turned me off from it. The storyline is supportive of pacifism, diplomacy and overcoming personal struggles which is great but I don't see that being reflected in the way it is presented. Episode 8(?) in particular had a bloody intense fight sequence which eventually even lead to a series of even more intense encounters - they're crafted in a way that it stands out more than its supposed to, i.e. the violence feels more appealing than the substance of its narrative. It gets to a point where I didn't care any more about Mob's or Reigen's ideals, it's fine if it is intended but I don't see where the show is going with it. When Reigen takes control in the final episode, it feels like a typical deus ex machina moment but now with condescending lectures.
Towards the end we also see the delinquent in school also had a sudden change of heart which is a bit abrupt but again, it is fine; it was really weird hearing him articulate his internal struggle precisely, he is a delinquent right. A lot of the themes the narrative tried to tackle are things that interest me but just not the way MP100 does it.

I don't think that's really fair. That's something that hasn't happened in the show quite yet.
I am comparing them based on what we have now of the two. I am not saying Mob is bad. As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone here is suggesting either of them are bad shows. Which makes this discussion kinda fun, since we're discussing two great shows. But I just found more enjoyment from OPM. Thought it was a more novel idea. Whereas with Mob, while enjoying it immensely towards its end, felt closer to the usual tropes of its genre.
I did that two with the first series upon rewatching it. But After Story always holds up for me. I think I rate Clannad 8/10 on my MAL, where I rate After Story a 10/10. (I know, I know, but I just like it so much. Still my favorite.)
I also notice something different every time I do rewatch it, which I love.
after story is holding up just fine for me, and it's nice rewatching it and noticing them actually setting up for the ending lol.

The OPM anime's art direction outside of the battle sakuga is just so bland. Mob Psych 100 looks all around fantastic and delivers equally as good, if not better animation during the fights. I mean, OPM didn't manage to elicit the same reactions I had when watching MS100 ep8.

Man I was hoping the police detective would actually mention some interesting stuff like. "We sometimes have to deal with vampires attacking people in the night of stuff." I dunno but the character wasn't as interesting as I thought he should have been. The most interesting thing he said was that some succubi live boldly which just feels like a sorta 'duh' kinda moment.

Well, people already gave you an answer for how to do that!
Since explaining what's probably going on would be redundant and still doesn't guarantee you'd change your mind, I am just going to laugh and shrug.
mob psycho is ugly and most characters suffer from same face.
it has great animation though and is the only reason the show is even watchable
ONE tells good stories, but he can't draw very well at all so animating his art style is just not appealing to me at all.
and with that I go to bed as I have to get up for work in a few hours lol.

Interesting. I have the total and complete opposite opinion. I think OPM always has a great style all the time, whereas, with Mob the show is inconsistent at times and, while stylized, gets boring and weird. (And much of the characters suffer from having the same face)
And nothing from Mob got me as pumped as the last episode of OPM did.
Huh?
Edit: I think you were talking about the gif I was using so I took it out.
Congrats. You bullied me into submission. Are you happy with yourself? Well!?
the weird thing about mob is that the adaptation actually kept ONE's weird artstyle but somehow made it all look great.
Like, ONE is a really good foundational artist. His paneling, the way he frames shots, they're all brilliant. It's just the way he draws things is kinda garbage. The way Mob Psycho takes things is it gets the essence and the style of ONE's drawings and, like, corrects all the weird perspective shit or the weird inconsistencies that he doesn't bother doing half the time.
In some ways OPM feels more stilted by comparison
(The funny thing about OPM is that Murata usually just takes ONE's panels verbatim and just redraws them in his hyperdetailed style)

Going to be honest, I wasn't thinking this while stating any of my opinions, but I think you bring up an interesting point.

I mostly agree, but maybe..."ugly" is a bit strong of a word here. I wouldn't go that far.
I haven't read either of the two. I just know the shows. And just from watching both, multiple times, I just like OPM's style and art a lot more. Mob's definitely more liberal with colors, which I think makes it stand out for some more.

I even really like Murata's artwork, having read the manga after the anime. Though I'm not fond of the character design the level of detail and clarity of the panels is great. Felt like I was always able to follow the battles well when that that's something I tend to struggle with in most manga.

so instead of X vs Y. how about you all just read The Promised Neverland and agree it's a good series
But X vs. Y is the heart of all internet discourse.
Nisemonogatari ep 9,10,11
Well would you look at that, the show is good when actual things are happening. Some new characters even show up and Kaiki gets to come back just to be an asshole to Araragi. Older Shinobu is a way better looking design than the kid version, really wish she looked like that instead.
So is Second Season next? Tsuki? Neko Black? Kizu??? Why are there so many damn seasons.

Damn, lame.
Mob is a disgusting story of how self defense is somewhat repugnant and morally bad and the abscondment of responsibility and burying your head in the sand something to be praised. Also Reigen sucks, Mob just casually defeating that guy he struggled with earlier in ep 8 shows zero regard for any consistent power levels and the transfer of powersin the last fight is an asspull of first degree.
It sure was a looker though.

The problem I had with Mob is something I am seeing even more on my rewatch of it with the english dub. It's all cool and flashy, but there is almost absolutely no emotional value to any of it. It's still good because it looks good but that's it. Episode 4 is still the peak of the show imo.
