Mob Psycho 100

Despite its later release date than some other anime series, "Mob Psycho 100" takes the crown as one of the best animes by Bones Studio. In the story, we follow Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama, an eighth-grader who discovered his psychic abilities at a young age. While initially using his powers to impress his crush, Tsubomi, Mob soon realizes the potential danger they pose and decides to keep them in check. His abilities find an outlet when he meets Arataka Reigen, a self-proclaimed psychic, who employs Mob's powers to exorcise spirits and make a profit. Mob's life becomes a routine of exorcising evil spirits at Reigen's behest.

However, beneath this facade lies an incredible well of untapped psychic energy: Mob's emotions and potential are like a ticking time bomb, and if he ever loses control, the consequences would be catastrophic. As Mob's powers continue to grow, so does the risk of a devastating explosion, forcing every character in "Mob Psycho 100" to find a way to prevent this impending disaster.

The animation is a visual spectacle, characterized by vibrant, fluid, and visually arresting sequences. Bones Studio's artistry breathes life into every frame, from the electrifying psychic battles to the introspective moments depicting Mob's internal turmoil. The animation not only complements the narrative but also amplifies it, which enhances the emotional depth and intensity of every scene.

And the main cast is also a standout element, each character contributing uniquely to Mob's growth and the overall narrative. Their dynamics, from Mob's steadfast friend, Teruki, to Reigen's complex mentorship, are finely crafted, adding interesting layers to Mob's evolution and the overarching story.
