Ahah... Reigen was such a boss in episode 11! His interactions with the organization recruits were so damn funny. Once again the action scenes had an amazing camera work and awesome fluidity in the characters movements.
Reigen can also be a nice person even tho he cheats people for money. He is a very important figure to Mob and gives him good advices. I wonder if seeing Reigen hurt will trigger the "???%" entity. I expect so much greatness in the last episode! |

Episode 12 (finale)
Well that was quite a ride. I liked it overall especially considering how they concluded the arc with Reigen, Mob, etc and their conflict with Claw. Reigen and Ritsu are my favorite characters in this series. I just really like their role overall in the show. Ritsu especially impressed me with clever he can be while Reigen always knows how to get out of tough situations. That power up by Mob also made him quite a badass in the finale. The soundtrack was great. Kenji Kawai did a terrific job from start to finish. 9/10. This was one of my favorite series of the Summer. I hope it gets another season in the future like OPM.

Unexpected and great final for this trippy series.
I was quite surprise that Reigen knew straight away what has happend, and the revelation of the section boss was urrrk. I think it was a good way to end the show, with Reigen giving us all a lecture about people with special powers. I'm going to miss this show, i just hope we will see them back soon. |

Reigen thoroughly demolishing the bad guys with his worldly-wise criticism was truly wonderful to behold.
I wasn't sure about this show at the start of the season, largely because One Punch Man just left me cold, but this story to me just has more heart and soul in it. It's been one of my favourite shows this season, and I do hope it gets a sequel. |

This is one of those rare instances where I'm sure I'll start to appreciate what I've witnessed for how ingenious it is just as soon as I can get over the fact that we didn't get the big fight with the MC that I was eagerly waiting for for the last few weeks.
This was a very good series. I can't say enough good things about it. But damn did I wanna see Mob go all out for episode 12. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next season. |

It was awesome to see Reign both physically and verbally smack down Claw. He tore apart their beliefs and worldview.
It took a while for me to get the hype around this show, but I ended up really enjoying it . Hope this gets a second season.

I just hope people don't get turned off by the hype. It would be a shame because the show is genuinely good. I was smiling and lol'ing throughout the episode. This is the anime that can bring hope to the world.

Certified by Ryota Mitarai (this one is for Danganronpa fans only...).
But on this - yeah, it's interesting to expand, because MP100 really has a very optimistic, hopeful, and rather unusual outlook for anime. Usually in battle shonen it's all being strong, winning fights, using violence rightfully rather than for evil, but there is often a sense that the protagonist is made 'special' by his powers. In One Piece this is actually outright cemented in the "Emperor's Will" that Luffy and others possess, that basically makes them "main characters of History" by default; but in general, chosen ones and destinies to fulfil are all over the place. MP100 takes a staunchly opposite stance, stressing how power doesn't make you happy or inherently better (in a less ridiculous way that One Punch Man does, despite the core idea being the same). Just like everything else, power can simply be a whim of luck. It's an almost nihilistic premise - after all, it's outright denying the philosophy that says that "everything happens for a reason"; because if that was the case of course power would be a sign of divine favour or a great destiny as well. So in that sense it can be depressing - if there's no point to natural inborn power, there's probably no point to anything else either. But then of course it turns that around by stressing a very warm conclusion: that anyway meaning comes from having a good life surrounded by good people. Like Reigen or the bros of the Bodybuilding club.
