AAAAAANND IT'S FINALLY OUT!!! Such a bittersweet feeling actually,, because I've been waiting since like, late October I think to actually release this? I wanted to wait until the finale has all aired and I wouldn't potentially spoil the anime onlies, so the fact that it is finally here also marks the ending of Mob and :') gosh,,, I'm gonna miss this show, these characters, so much... Shigeo means a lot to me. So consider this a sort of love letter to him and the series. I've had an absolutely lovely time 💚
This took like, all summer of working on it on and off, and then some, but it was also such an incredibly fun process. I don't think I've had such a fun time with an art project before,, it makes me excited to do more, so, we'll see how that works out :)
Uhhh and this is where I need to put a bunch of keywords in for visibility right?? Um. I'm just gonna describe this animatic then, might also be useful for those who've somehow stumbled across this not knowing anything ^^
So, mp100 is an anime that started off of a webcomic by author ONE. It follow the titular character 'Mob', as he is nicknamed, or Shigeo Kageyama, a gentle, seemingly average boy with actually immense psychic powers, as he works for a fraud named Arataka Reigen in a psychic consultation office. However, that's just the background stuff, and this animatic in particular follows Mob's life besides that, walking through most of the events of the series, and especially focusing on his relationship with his little brother Ritsu, and his childhood friend and crush Tsubomi - who both had some of the largest impact on his upbringing, his complexes, and who he is as a person overall - and how he deals with... all of it.
This series is dear to me for it's exploration of Mob's psyche and it's themes of kindness and acceptance, towards others and yourself most of all, so I hope that carried well into this little thing as well 💚
But that's enough of my rambling! Hope you enjoyed, and that y'all have pleasant and stress free holidays, or, if you don't celebrate or are seeing this in the future, have a good week in general!! Ciao ^_^
