The troll to be original on an original...

The story of the manga was amazing. The character development was fluid and correct. The insane drawing style was in a league of it's own, paired with an awesome introduction arc. Not a whole lot in this world is perfect, but Mob Psycho 100 comes very close. I, for one, can't wait to see what season 2 will bring us.

On to the point of the review. To be honest, I am never a fan of a life adaption of any game or anime/cartoon. There are some OK ones (NO WAY), some mediocre ones (Pushing it!), and those that we can't even get passed the first 20 minutes (yes... those ones). Netflix' adaption of the master piece Mob Psycho 100 hangs between the mediocre and the "can't handle the cringe no longer" section. I wish it was good..., I mean, I can handle it if the storyline get's tempered with. I don't care if some relationships are different, BUT... The characters got to stay true to themselves. If they do not, they loose their charm. Which is a huge chunk of what makes a show successful. Why can't these writers just get that they can't have the main character do things he would never ever do in the original. Things so character breaking that you can't continue to watch it anymore. It's just painful at that point.

To those that haven't read the manga or watched the anime. You still got a chance to find out whether it's worth watching on a rainy sunday. To those who read/watched the original: DON'T... Just, don't.

Because it wants to be something else in a parallel universe I can't rate it in a proper way. I just cringe and cringe and cringe.

5 out of 5 for the effort of the anime-like performances.

It wasnt like manga or anime they did their own thing and it was cute. It was like power rangers mixed with it. Idk why it was MA no need for it. Acting was suppose to be goofy. Overall good time.

Don't go into this without watching the original anime - its 100x better. The acting is so bad its funny and everyone is acting like they're in an anime, not a live action TV show. The editing is strange to say the least and the VFX look like a particularly good YouTube video. The sound design is like an anime. at one point Mob is wearing trainers, but when he walks it sounds like he's wearing horseshoes. I would recommend you get high/drunk and watch this with a friend because its bloody hilarious how bad it is.

I stumbled across this on Netflix and it's hilarious how close to an actual Anime this is. The actors, their voices, the sounds and the music are copy-paste from an Anime, and it's as close as it gets to a great live action adaptation. You will see all the similarities. The weird main character, the intriguing deep voiced villains, the creepy dorky side-kicks. The short 24 min episodes are easy to watch and you won't feel like you wasted your time. If you like Anime.

Look I understand that anime vs real life could get a bit funky and sometimes it's a winner and sometimes not so much... I found this show to be quite well written, and especially well acted for a japanese (english sub) show.Good actors, laughed in many scenes as it is quite funny and fun to watch.

Worst series ever shame to a great anime they shouldn't have made it

So I gotta say at first it was a bit weird to watch but I guess after the third episode I totally loved it.

Mob Psycho 100 is a great anime and definetly one of my favorites. The idea is great and the different character developments are so fun to watch. My most liked characters are definitely the Muscle Club Guys and Reigen, both are hilarious.

In this Live-action adaption they didn't even try to make this any different from the style the anime is made in. And I think it's great. At first glance I was confused because this Animeish style feels weird when watching a Live-action show. After a couple episodes I totally loved it. It's different and fun to watch and the actors played their own interpretation of the roles great while staying true to the characters shown in the anime.

What I really missed was the great exaggeration of mobs power, in the anime its amazing everytime but in this show it only looks and feels not nearly that good.

All in all I would definitely recommend watching this if you had fun with the anime. But if you didn't watched the anime I recommend doin that it's a blast.

I am a big fan of low budget movies don't get me wrong, but this si-fi show with poor video editing and very poor story writing was a huge letdown, the directer was all about camera angles....that got old real quick with very bad acting with no connections....all the fights seemed to be the same.

when we talk about quality....this is walmart at its best.....i think they need to re-think the show and get a new graphic editor quick.

This movie mimics anime so there's a lot of exaggerated behaviour. It's obvious it was done with a low budget as much of the scenery is recycled for various scenes including the title and credits sequence. It has an early Power Ranger feel to it especially in the battle scenes. The effects are pretty decent though. Fairly humorous in places. Younger generations would probably appreciate this movie more than grown ups.

Despite what other reviewers said, I liked this series.

It's quirky, funny and the over-exaggerated acting suits this genre.

I haven't see using % as a theme in a storyline before so that was cool.

This anime is too funny. Don't let the score influence you, give it a chance.

I have not read the manga, seen the anime, or watched any other adaptation, and I really enjoyed this. If you accept it for what it is, its a quirky show with anime facial expressions, and it's over the top good fun with big emotions.

This reminds me of the style of older (think 90s and 2000s) series that have been adapted from manga or anime. It's got the same vibe, the same over the top emotional outbursts, silly antics, and animated facial expressions and body language. If you can look past all that and enjoy it for what it is, it's got a good message, and it's full of heart.

I recommend it!
