Mob Psycho 100 Art Gathers The Gang For Mob’s Birthday

Mob Psycho 100 released a new trailer earlier this week, alongside the release window for the third season of this explosive anime series that follows a young esper as he hilariously fights against supernatural threats. With the news being released on Mob’s birthday, May 12th, the franchise took the opportunity to share new art of Mob and company celebrating the day of his birth as the series is set to be one of the biggest comebacks of the fall anime season.  

Mob Psycho 100 has already brought its manga to a close, with the final chapter hitting the stands in 2017, meaning that this third season is most likely the last for the gang of psychics and the supernatural threats that they tend to run into. While this might be the final time that we follow along with Mob’s life via the anime adaptation, the series from Studio Bones is sure to go out with a bang if it follows the story beats of the high school esper. With Bones also working on the sixth season of My Hero Academia, also hitting this fall, the animation house certainly appears to be cranking up its output.

The new image was released to help in celebrating Mob’s birthday on May 12th, with that day also seeing the arrival of the announcement that the third season would be arriving later this fall and helping to make one of the biggest fall anime seasons in recent memory:

If you haven’t checked out the first two seasons of Mob Psycho 100, you can catch them on Crunchyroll, with the streaming service releasing an official description for the series that reads as such:

“Kageyama Shigeo, a.k.a. “Mob,” is a boy who has trouble expressing himself, but who happens to be a powerful esper. Mob is determined to live a normal life and keeps his ESP suppressed, but when his emotions surge to a level of 100%, something terrible happens to him! As he’s surrounded by false espers, evil spirits, and mysterious organizations, what will Mob think? What choices will he make?”
