Then, of course, there's Season 3 of Mob Psycho 100.

When does 'Mob Psycho 100 III' come out?

Mob Psycho 100 follows Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama, a mild-mannered eighth-grader with unparalleled psychic abilities. His psychic strength is linked to his emotional state, so he often suppresses his feelings in order to keep those around him safe. But when the percentage of his inner emotions reaches 100, he unleashes his psychic power in enormous ways. He is "taught" by Arataka Reigen, a con artist posing as a skilled psychic who uses Mob's abilities to handle supernatural odd jobs.

Season 1 aired in 2018 and Season 2 (named Mob Psycho 100 II) came out in the following year. Both seasons were met with critical acclaim, making several lists for "best anime of the 2010s" in various publications. The series has been praised for its unique animation, character drama, and resonant coming-of-age story.

Where does 'Mob Psycho 100' Season 2 leave off?

Mob Psycho 100 II represented a period of growth for Mob. Having learned to confront his emotions after facing a powerful psychic, Mob has become more open to expressing his feelings, whether he is happy or displeased with something. He even has a moment of reconciliation with Reigen after discovering his true nature as a con artist.

Later in the season, Mob and a group of superpowered humans take on a group of malevolent psychics known as "Claw." Introduced in Season 1, they reappear toward the end of Season 2 to destroy the city. Eventually, Mob faces off against Claw's boss, Toichiro Suzuki. After an enormous battle of psychic prowess, Mob emerges victorious and saves his hometown.

If Seasons 1 and 2 are any indication, Mob Psycho 100 III will be another sight to behold. Oh, and the opening is also fire again.

Season 3 of Mob Psycho 100 will begin on Oct. 5. Catch the new season on Crunchyroll!
