Mob Psycho 100

While this might seem similar to ONE's other work, One Punch Man, due to its focus on a supremely overpowered individual, Mob Psycho 100 takes a radically different approach. Mob himself is introverted and repressed, and his struggles with socializing and morality are incredible compelling. It manages to be both hilarious, heartwarming, and terrifying sometimes all in the same episode! And don't let the simple designs fool you, the animation blows almost every other anime out of the water.

Parodies mocking their own genre while being amazing examples of it, seem to work well. Like One Punch Man, it deconstructs tropes, while still pushing the buttons that make the genre work. In this case, 'Mob' is the shonen character that's overpowered and kicking ass, but he actively rejects being appreciated for his superpowers, wanting to have a normal character arc instead. Even the swindler taking advantage of Mob's naivety is constantly being super wholesome. Everything is wholesome. I

An anime for all others to learn from. Art, direction, story, and character. This anime is the antithesis to modern anime tropes. It does not allow its characters to indulge in being losers. Fight On!
