I really really want mob psycho to get a lot of recognition with this new season. Besides my desire of ONE and the animators to get all respect and praise, they deserve for all the work they put for this anime, I mostly wish that the message of the series reach more people. We need more shows to showcase kindness as a strength rather than a weakness, that you need to learn how to deal with your feelings in a healthy way instead of bottling them up, that being highly skilled in smt doesn’t make you more worthy as a person than others, how important is to be able to bond with others, and that its okay to let others help you when you feel you can’t do thing on your own. I’m sure I'm missing others points, but all in all, If you haven't yet, please give this series a chance you won’t regret it.
Another consistent theme I love: if you’re down the wrong path doing wrong hurtful things, it is not too late to get your shit together and take account for yourself! The people you hurt may not forgive you, and depending on your crime (being a school bully to being a dumb midboss) it may be a lonely path or take a while to find your feet. It never uses the excuse “oh this person is just a villain.” it goes into real, actual reasons kids lash out, or adults get funneled into bad behavior & continue to excuse themselves. And it draws the line in the right places and still has room to be kind to the right people; the child abuser goes to fucking jail, and his price is his kid will never trust him, but the kid is finally able to grow outside of that shadow and not just devote himself to “winning” against his dad. Same for the grown man being used, he has to choose to break away but it never paints it as easy. MP100 is aware of power dynamics on a level I’ve never seen before, and the main characters are not above being taught their own lessons on harmful behavior no matter how hard it is to own up.
I’ve always disliked my country for some reasons like the culture. Now that I’m in Japan, one of the best person I found is exactly one of my country, of course since he is in Japan he has my exact point of view and if I’m trying to become a better person is because of him, his suggestions are really helping me a lot..
