Testing out different coloring styles

Quick little rant.

Something I love about the Mob Psycho 100 final is that we can see the concealed sides of both Reigen and Mob.

It's quite obvious that Mob bottles up his emotions throughout the series. Mob is far from an emotionless kid, even though sometimes the fandom (me included) forget he's not passive all the time.

Just like how Reigen is not a level headed all the time.

Reigen can be crude and has used mob for years. Every character in the show has done bad things. Some worse than others, but no character is perfect.

Mob is the person that hurt Ritsu

Mob is the one who rampaged through Seasoning City

It's not some separate identity, not some separate being. This is as much of Shigeo Kageyama as the one who gets flustered talking to Tsubomi. Mob is so much more than a kind vessel of kindness and forgiveness, he's a person and a person with a full range of emotions.

Just like how Reigen has been lying to Mob every day for years, he's the same man who would rather die trying to help Mob than not.

Only in the final episode both of them are able to release themselves of that gilt of doing wrong.

With the realization that expressing your true self without gilt

And the realization that you need to rely on others even if it makes you feel weak

Even after years of trying to hide and minimize that part of themselves, it never went away. It was as much of them as the selves as any other part of themselves is.

At the end of the day, they're just people, not heros or villains.

And you're not a monster for messing up once.

(Sorry if this doesn't make sense! I just wanted to get this out there cause I just love analyzing this show)

Animation sequence i made for school, was very fun to do i love mopsickle

Are you a dog or cat person?

I'm just a bitch

i would like to talk abt how yuzuru tachikawa went OFF in storyboarding/directing the separation arc w/ the use of natural and artificial light on reigen.

we only see his face w natural light before opening s&s

and then after his fallout with mob, it’s only behind him.

his face becomes illuminated by only his laptop in his apartment

also after mob leaves him, the blinds in the office are closed compared to when he first started. this is the window that originally showed him the light. he is subconsciously shutting out that dream of “being somebody”

more under cut!!

the only exception to this rule is his convo w/ ekubo, who is the character he can be the most honest to.

when we get to the bar scene, it’s nighttime, so there’s ONLY artificial light. it’s framed similar to him looking out the s&s window, which was the last time he was able to live w/o the fake “psychic” title. except now, it’s lit blue instead of warmly.

he wants the same thing, but the second time is leading him to a path of self destruction: like a moth to a flame.

when we get to the Cancellation, he’s under studio lights and, later, camera flashes. the lights are brighter but his shadows are harsher. he’s being seen but in the worst way possible.

lastly, you’d expect sunlight to be on his face when mob tells him he’s a good person, but it stays in the shadows because reigen doesnt Say it. he hasnt Told mob hes a fraud. you can see the shadows creep into his face when he lifts his face. the good part of him is acknowledged

Og imagine

Sometimes I worry about being weird and people judging me but I always remember that no one really gives a fuck
