Mob Psycho 100 (Season 1, 2016) - 4/5

This is a strange show but very funny. It pulls heavily from the Shonen anime genre, simultaneously subscribing completely to it and taking it in an entirely new direction. It’s spooky in a good way, mixed with teen drama that’s mostly played for laughs. Unless you’re familiar with many of the popular anime tropes you may be pretty lost with this one, but for those in the know it’s a very fun show.

Closest comparison: It’s like One Punch Man by way of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Setting: Supernatural
Plot: Supernatural High School Drama
Tone: Comedy
