12/28/2023 0 Comments Soccer spirits anime season 1Reigen is in full bullshitter mode here of course (his natural state), but Serizawa has no trouble exorcising the doll, In the process he does break off one of its arms (still believing it to be worth ¥80000) which prompts Reigen to pull out a secret move – “ Rice Grain Big Bang” – to repair it, much to Serizawa’s amazement. The first exorcism case (Serizawa is the new face at Spirits & Such, and getting the rookie treatment from Reigen) is a guy who paid ¥80000 for a ¥500 statue which turns out to be infested with an actual curse. But the most memorable conversation is with Reigen, and there will be a callback to it later in the episode. He proceeds to talk to just about everybody about this (it’s striking that everyone in Mob’s circle except himself is either at the very bottom or very top of the academic pyramid). As such he has no clue what he wants to do with his life (which is actually perfectly fine). And he doesn’t belong to one of two main exceptions (hardcore achievers who have their life planned out to the last dump, and head-in-the-clouds types who say “soccer player” or idol manager”) who have a real life plan. The problem of course is that Mob is a second-year middle schooler. He can’t grok the idea of disrespecting the process by not taking it seriously. But one of the reasons we love Mob so much is that he’s painfully earnest (and neurotic, but then those often go hand-in-hand). Now, Mob is a second-year middle schooler and not only is this totally non-binding, it’s routinely blown off (as Ekubo tells Mob in no uncertain terms). This time is no exception, as we find Mob consumed with worry about filling out his career path survey. One thing Tachikawa always did was start a season with a relatively “normal” episode – a stand-alone where Mob and Reigen handle the mundanities of Spirits & Such and Mob deals with his school life. How does any given season of Mob ranks against the others? Masterpieces like these are so unique that they establish their own benchmarks. While on a certain level series like Mob Psycho and Golden Kamuy and Made in Abyss are competing (I have to rank them, after all), in truth they’re really only competing against themselves. It’s impossible to know in a case like this how much Tachikawa is directly involved, but presumably he endorsed (or made) the selection of Hasui, and there’s no evidence whatsoever in this premiere of any drop in quality. That leaves Mob Psycho S3 in the hands of Hasui Takahiro, a very experienced Bones animator and episode director, who’s slipping into the big chair for the first time. But monumentally talented director Tachikawa Yuzuru is stepping back to the “chief director” role – presumably to work on the upcoming Blue Giant film, a serious hype bomb itself. Not as much as Golden Kamuy with its new studio and director (based on the premiere, that bullet’s dodged). But there was just a hint of change to make one worry about this season of Mob Psycho 100. That will come as very little shock to anyone, I realize, given the pedigree of this series and the staff behind it. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.įinally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.I always believe in not burying the headline, so – it was great.
