The Mob
Psycho 100 panel at the Anime NYC event on Friday revealed a new
key visual for Mob
Psycho 100 II, BONES' second
anime season of ONE's Mob Psycho 100 manga. The event also revealed that the show will premiere in
Japan on January 7, and confirmed that the new season will stream on Crunchyroll.
In Japan, the anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on January 7 at
11:00 p.m., before airing an hour later on BS-Fuji. The anime will then
premiere on ABC TV on January 10.
The Anime NYC convention will host the world premiere
of the anime on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Voice actor Setsuo Ito, who plays Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama, will attend the
screening.
The staff at BONES is
returning from the first season to work on the second season.
The anime's
first season premiered in Japan in July 2016, and Crunchyroll streamed the
series with English subtitles as it aired in Japan. Funimation streamed an English dub for the anime and released
the series on home video. The series joined Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on October 27.
Funimation describes the story:
Kageyama Shigeo (a.k.a. Mob) is an 8th grader with powerful
psychic abilities. Workingunder his not-so-capable master, Reigen, Mob uses his
powers to exorcise evil spirits. But his will to be normal causes him to
suppress his powers and feelings until he hits 100 percent — a point where his
pent-up emotions are unleashed and a darker power takes over.
The manga
also inspired a live-action drama starring Tatsuo Hamada in January. TV
Tokyo produced the live-action show in collaboration with Netflix. Netflix US premiered the show
on May 22.
The manga has
also inspired two stage plays. The first stage play ran from January
6-14 at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo. The second play ran at The Galaxy Theatre
in Tokyo from September 13-17 and at Shinkobe Oriental Theater in Hyōgo from
September 20-23.
ONE (One-Punch
Man) launched the manga on Ura Sunday in 2012 and later in Shogakukan's Manga ONE app in
2014. Shogakukan published
the manga's 16th and final compiled book volume on July 19.
