Mob Psycho Universe - Thread Title Season 2

All aboard the Reigen train!
-
So the Boss' son taking Mob's family as hostages is a strong possibility now, and if so it's either the boss' orders or his son acting on his own since the organization wants to eliminate anyone involved in the incident.
-
If Murata redrew this too it would be the best thing ever.
-
Murata chose the series to redraw wisely since there was no way he could do justice to Mob Psycho 100.

These are the wise words of a true sage.
-
I just want to know if Murata can do a drawing of the ???? version of mob, and still have it be as creepy or even creepier
-
Jokes aside, you'd think he might do a redraw of Mob someday? I hear a lot of good things about the series but the art…woof. I might hold out for that vague glimmer og hope that Murata-sensei might pick it up after One Punch Man.

But, you see, the thing with Mob Psycho's art is that when it needs to be "oh, shit!", it does. Now, I'm not gonna lie and pretend that One is a good artist. He's not. But, curiously enough, I found the big moments in Mob to be properly done. Murata could improve them? Of course he could. But I don't know, I feel like, as they are now, they are given enough "ooooomph!" already.
I mean, this shit is tight.
And I mean, for real. Real tight.
-
Mob Psycho is perfect as it is. There is no need for a redrawn.
And sketchy as he might seem ONE has much better grasp of the comic flown and dynamics than most professional mangakas.
-
The reason ONE's art style works for MP100 is that it's not inherently serious and his writing is so good that makes up for his artistic flaws. And when his art jumps in quality, you know that shit's getting real.
I'm still in the camp that a Murata redraw would be awesome, though. He'd just have to draw even better during said serious moments.
-
I feel like, as much of a great artist Murata is, there's not too much that his style could add to MP100. The quirky art style kinda really feels at home with the story, especially with the resolution of the first encounter with "Claw"
With OPM, Murata gives a much more, let's say… dynamic feel to a superhero comic (although the original was still damned good thanks to ONE's great choreo), which is an interesting take on its own, but I'm not really sure that it would otherwise add much to the experience, especially when ONE really puts a lot of effort into action scenes when they matter
Still great sketches tho
-
One Punch Man is like one of my favorite series right now because I think it's a perfect marriage of a brilliant concept (A God level Super Hero in a world of super heroes who have no idea how outclassed they are by this half-assed looking dude) and fantastic, orgasmic art that really captures that comic book feel with expressive faces, sweeping imagery, swishing capes in the wind… Of course, I have no idea what the tone or the story of Mob Psycho is so maybe Murata's over the top smorgasboard of an art style wouldn't fit it as much if it's say more slice of life or whatnot. A lot of you are saying it's perfect as is and Murata's art won't add nearly as much to it as it did with One Punch Man? ...I dunno, I'm on the fence on this...
-
OPM has a fantastic array of characters doing crazy feats, so Murata's insane detail and sense of scale really give it a different take when he redraws it. It's a bit different because MP100 is like part slice of life part battle manga, where most of the designs are really just fairly normal people (well, normal so far as ONE drawing them is concerned) as opposed to the monsters and costumed heroes of OPM.

The answer is… they are right! Mob Psycho 100 is fantastic and its art style is very well suited to it. If you let first appearances scare you away you are totally missing out.

Okay then, I'm sold :)
-
so I'm the only one who wants to seeMurta draw ???? version of mob to see if he can somehow make it creepier
-
Well, that'd be something like an interesting one off sketch like the last few, but I think that the shitty art style works well because, well, it's part gag manga, and it's just part of the humor, which is why you know when shit gets real when the detail suddenly goes up
-
Shit I don't even agree that ONE's art sucks or that he's a not a good artist. The goofy drawing are fun as hell and add a bunch of personality to all his gags and over the top situations. Besides if you look at the way ONE draws you can clearly tell with effort he'd do fine, but his overly doodley style is voluntary.
-
so what abilities have wee seen so far….
most common:
Telekinesis
Barrier
exorcising ghosts/evil spirits/demons?
Other
Extra sensory perception
Telepathy
Telekentic spiral
Air Whip
Curse (makes it so you can't use psychic powers/makes weapons deadly and barriers useless)
pyrokinesis
astral body
ethereal body
controlling non living objects (dolls)
Controlling living objects (plants)
Hypnosis
controlling evil spirits
gravity control
creating electricity
ultimate defense/armor aura (not sure how it's different from a barrier)
ability to blow stuff up
ki related abilities (ONE makes the distinction between ki and esp, thus noting differences between martial artists and espers…. possibly for the shared universe theory)
using ki to make your body stronger, and hurt opponents from the inside
using ki to make an outer aura (never saw what it was capable of)
Unknown
Creating dolls that look like living beings
[hide]
Immediately copying abilities (sharingan psychic esqe abilty)
This one is kind of out there but so far the bosses son has shown a unique array of abilities
Illusion (Appears out of nowhere)
[hide]
http://bato.to/read/_/217961/mob-psycho-100_v5_ch43_by_nerieru-scans/10 [/hide]
suggested he also has gravity ability

http://bato.to/read/_/218840/mob-psycho-100_ch49_by_nerieru-scans/10
[/hide]
and ability to make a fire (as seen when he burnt mobs house down
my guess is he can copy an ability easily by seeing it, as we've learned others can like teru (who learned air whip and ethereal body by seeing it)maybe they send people like the son to the different branches so they can see and learn different abilities (probably covertly, as they have shown many members try to find ways to one up the others)
[/hide] -
acually, i think that Murata drew Mob in order to advertise the serie because, i guess you know about it, Mob psycho 100 will probably be adapted into anime:
But actually Mob Psycho 100 is in 1st place with an over 100 thousand lead over 2nd placed Kengan. you can look at bottom of the page: http://urasunday.com/

I'm surprised to see that on a One Piece forum, there are people that don't get the difference between unorthodox art style and bad art.

Like really. I'm somewhat baffled that a fan would call the artwork in Mob bad. It's not the most detailed art in the world, but it's charming, fits the tone of the series, and is well drawn and proportioned. I'm a big fan.
-
I mean I get it. ONE's style is like a lot of gag manga in that they're not the most aesthetically appealing designs, which can be a turnoff for a lot of people. Likewise, while it's not "bad" art, especially when looking at the early chapters of OnePunch-Man, they're very… rough, to say the very least, no matter how charming it later develops into
-
One's art is great. Really makes his characters feel more real and it fits his style of storytelling perfectly.
-
ONE's art was bad in terms of technical skill. It's gotten much better over time, but it's still not that great overall.
In terms of style, though, he's always had fun character designs and can get pretty expressive at times. In these terms, ONE has done really well in carving out a unique look and feel for his series that makes them stand out visually. It helps that ONE is pretty self-aware and has a good sense of humor, since you can feel that in his character designs. One of his most common jokes is to make fun of characters for taking themselves and their situations way too seriously and he does this in part through using 'bad' art to make what should be a serious design look stupid (used to clear effect even in Murata's redraws, where he sometimes calls back to the original art to preserve that feeling, like in Tatsuaki's introduction).
Basically, ONE's art is ONE's and it suits him really well. It may not be technically astounding, but it's full of character and he uses it really well.

lol

So wait, who is Dimple supposed to be?

79 is up.

Oh wow, seems like the final fight might be starting immediately.
Also, Reigen's solution was hilarious.

Let's go home, the police is coming.

lol after having that debate about art, we get a chapter where a little awesome murta art work would have done wonders to make us feel less overwhelmed by the amount of new characters we have to remember who look so similar and not as underwhelmed by the entire group organization being introduced instantly with such bland designs that it's hard to figure out who will be important and who won't be and who's actually intresting
basically where as the art work usually works, didn't feel it helped this chapter, at least not if a lot of these characters that had actual dialogue will be of some importance and not just fodder
murta's art could have given us better rugged detail on the gun for hire guy, and made him look more like a cool stoic badass I think he was intended to be, made the crazy guy who talks about killing people a lot more sinister, and deadly, and possibly scary, given any of scars chief branch members a feeling of identity etc.

I disagree, i feel Ones art worked as well in this chapter, as it has in any other. Sure an artist like Murata could make characters appear more badass, sinister ect. He could have made the art more of a spectacle, but in some ways i think that defeats the point, as much as i love Muratas art, (his sense of motion, dynamics, layout and use of detail specifically. I've never really been a fan of how he draws people, not that i would necessarily fault it, its just to generic anime for me) Sometimes reading one punch man, i feel like im reading a flip book of impressive art, rather than a structured narrative.
Though that being said, Im sure Murata has the sense to appropriately apply spectacle at the appropriate level for the project he's working on. So if he did redraw Mob, i doubt it would be the visual feast mob is, which probably makes it less likely to happen.
-
So that how it is.
The arc is already tense enough, and with Shigeo being in such a fragile state of mind at the moment, things will be getting uglier by the minute. And as always, the biggest danger comes from the inside and not the outside. ONE is setting up quite a stage here.
-
New chapter out, not up on batoto yet though!! But might wanna grab it from nerieru immediately…
-
I got Teppei all over my face.
Now I feel dirty…
-
About ONE's art:
Say what you want to say about the detail and finess of his drawings, but he sure as hell knows how to frame action in his art, how to give things impact, kinetics, oomph. I say that is a very important quality for a comic book, especially an action comic book.
-
Chapter 79 Part 2 is online now as well. Shou being embarassed by Claw and his father's performance is great, but I don't really get what his game is.
ultimateking has also released Anthology chapters 2, 22, 25 and 32.
! It's really nice.

This post is deleted!

New chapter translation is out at Batoto.
I love the "down to earth" attitude of ONE with his saturday morning cartoon villains.

so wait…..is claw even going to be a threat???

so wait…..is claw even going to be a threat???
We already saw that the lower tiers are just fodder, but the upper guys may cause a lot of trouble.
The way that umbrella guy showed up behind the Gov. Agent and how one of the mercenary got beaten might indicate that they underestimated the power of certain Claw members.
The dude said that they were being watched all the time, but maybe Claw doesn´t care because it knows it´s power or something -

anyways another question, how does psychic power give someone the ability to turn smoke into steel, is psychic just another way to say magic now???
is there even a difference between esp and magic in this world?
-
makes sense… Thanks.

It always sort of has been magic, but a particular kind of magic carved out by culture. It really isn't too different from the traditional stuff, though. If we can accept psychic power to act as an invisible force, like with Mob's attacks, then I don't see how it's that much of a stretch that it can be used to create a static force and act like a barrier, shaped by smoke.

Oh my glob, the thin thread between shonen audience and the ironical "government rules perfectly" idea theme has been cut.
Reigen for president! first supporter.

New chapter out at http://nerieru-scans.com

Seems like the Jobbing Brigade did their job magnificiently!

So the number two guy in Claw is a Yato? Interesting…
