As far as morally questionable, water boarding is pretty high up there. It's the first time Mob has willingly taken part in anything morally questionable. This had the potential to be the darkest scene so far in Mob Psycho. Moving onto this week, let's look at the waterboarding scene. If anything, a bunch of thugs hyping up a big brawl felt very appropriate for the scene. The only comic relief that occurred during the battle was the thugs reactions and that never felt like it got in the way of the action. Maximizing the tension while leaving all other story elements until the end definitly elevated the action to greater heights. This would allow them to end the episode on the conclusion of the fight, but fragments the tension in the process. Many lesser directors would have cut away from the fight after Mob had seemingly won and return after the comic relief. Saving this scene until the action was completely over allowed the fight between Mob and Koyama to develop maximal tension. I don't have anything to say about the scene itself, but the placement of it is what's noteworthy. Mob has carefully avoided this pitfall.įirst let's look at Reigen's message scene from episode eight. Most anime that try to tell a dark story while intermixing healthy portions of comic relief end up giving the audience tonal whiplash. One of the biggest things that stood out to me about the last two episodes of Mob is how well it juggled it's mix of serious and comical scenes. I never got around to doing my write-up on last week's episode, so I'm going to lump my thoughts on that in with this one. This week the series has returned to a more thematic focus. Unsurprisingly, we have a bit more of a toned down episode after last week's sakugafest.
