If I were Mob viewing Reigen from that distance, his face to me would probably appear blurry, jumbled, or void. Even with my glasses. Holy shit, those look amazing! Love this so much, we got so damn lucky with this staff team - so much soul in those drawings! Realism aside, I really don't think it's an issue worth complaining about. I know some people have nitpicks and pet-peeves, and I think it's a valid observation. But overall for the amount of sheer effort that went into this episode alone, in an incredibly detailed and well-animated season, of a spectacular overall animated series, I think that we should let instances like this slide. Or at least refrain from deducting points for moments like this. I think the animators have earned themselves a few low-effort moments. Funny enough, I didn't even notice the faceless characters when watching. Maybe because I'm so busy reading the subtitles... or maybe because I might've seen this pulled in other anime and I'm used to it. Maybe I subconsciously thought it was an artistic choice... or maybe I figured characters from a distance weren't supposed to have clearly discernible features... but yeah, I actually never noticed during my watch through. A lot of the criticisms about the technical aspects of this episode I don't really agree with, but yeah, I noticed the lack of faces at various points, and it looks very bad. I notice that 1-2 times in almost every TV anime ever. It's definitely one of my pet peeves. But it's outlandishly bad in those examples. To be fair, it's not the first time they've done this in MP 100, but it's much more obvious here due to pacing, shot selection, and the fact that 3-4 characters don't have a face. Usually, they choose busier shots when they fail to add a face. |
| Finally what the president of the Telepathy club has been waiting for since season 1. Moe eyed aliens.  |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| This episode was definitely, something. Gave me some flashbacks from S2E7… like everyone’s feelings were coming to a closure… truly beautiful. And I actually thought Inukawa was gonna become the villain or something, like, he was gonna start hating earth and become this super powered being… or something, since we’re probably approaching the final arc. |
 |
| What an episode, so they basically ended up chilling with aliens lmaooo hahaha But glad he got back safe, it was a nice episode! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| So essentially they did the Urashima Tarou story with Inugawa during the ending credits. |
| 20K rough frames and they were all used for mostly a SoL episode lol. Albeit a pretty crazy one, I gotta say. But seriously, not really a fan of this episode. Mob Psycho was always absurd but this really felt like jumping the shark. The sudden Reigen fanservice was appreciated tho. |
| is this ep a filler? |
| So this was the legendary 27 kerjillion frames episode people have been talking about. It was okay. The wtf did I just watch nature of it made it enjoyable but it just goes to show that cutting corners on the art to make some slightly smoother animation isn't going to always make it look better. |
| Woahhhh the episode is like a movie. So beautiful animation and sakugas. What the hell happened with Inugawa 😅 |

If we were talking like a distance of 20 to 25 meters the you'd have a point. But this is a really close distance less than 5 meters and probably the only ones who couldn't distinguish facial details this close would be heavily visually impaired people, not middle schoolers in their prime. |

We literally had a giant broccoli come to life by pure faith and almost destroy the city just a couple of episodes ago, I don't think aliens being real is the most absurd thing Mob has ever done. |
| Is this seriously the last season of Mob? This whole season has been a nothingburger lol.... And the nonsensical nature of this show has risen to almost eye rolling levels this season. Mob has truly lost a lot of it's charm, S1 and especially S2 were great. |
| I'm genuinely not sure how to process what i watched, i definitely expected aliens cus its Mob Psycho but i didn't expect that outcome. Literally felt like a fever dream the entire time, i thought there was gonna be some twist but i guess not and how everyone was just getting along felt so surreal. Inugawa's ending was pretty interesting, i also thought some twist was gonna occur but it turned out to be one of the most interesting parts. Besides that, it was a nice ending for the telepathy club and its members. Kurata made some crazy memory's with them and it all ended on a good note. Probs to the animation this ep, shit felt incredibly smooth for a relaxed ep. Still haven't gotten over how Takenaka's character was the opposite of what i expected. |
 "yabe." |
| This was one of the most insane episodes I have ever watched, and I was never expecting something like this... |
 |
| wow wow wow im absolutely floored by this episode. the animation was so amazing, there was so much subtlety in the movements every shot was eye candy. Its easy to say something has great animation when its a huge set piece but its an entirely different making something as simple as going for a hike so absolutely stunning. ive always been a sucker for slice of life especially in shows where it isnt the main focus so this episode felt made for me. giving the club members the extra attention was really great and oh my god Tome was so cute this episode. the aliens were adorable and Inugawa's little adventure at the end was really fun. The staff clearly put there all into this episode and im personally really grateful for it and i think it turned out spectacularly. definitely a standout episode for the show and hell probably this season for me at least. |
| this episode was so random lmao love to see it |
 |
| This was one of the most adorable episodes ever. Though the animation felt… you know. |
My candies:  |
| A small handful of solid sakuga clips (and very strong directing overall) has everyone ignoring the generally terrible production (inconsistent models, jagged frames, poor attention to detail) mixed with the goofiest plot development possible, feeling unbelievable in scale and plot development. I think this season overall has been great, leaving me somewhat disappointed to the quality of animation and storytelling I usually expect of the series. This episode was beyond defendable though. I think the final arc landing can soften the blow tremendously, but I still can’t believe this fan made-type episode even exists. |
 |
| They say it's a race that they are winning but so far I don't even saw them at the starting line. So the build-up episode was for a full Slice-of-life Cute Aliens Doing Cute Things episode, SoL being one of the worst genres in anime with sh*thouses like Aria, Sangatsu, Horimiya, Haruhi, Hyouka, Yuru Camp, etc... Of course this episode wasn't going to be anything special like any SoL stuff, even with the myth of the "20K frames", now some wannabe's are calling the episode an "acid trip" just to justify themselves, I guess I will call Naruto filler worldbuilding and then we are all ok with it, wtf was even the point of last 3-4 minutes? Did he wanted to make some Bradbury parody or what? Extremely disgusted with the outcome of this arc, 4.5/10 episode and the season is at 5.4/10. |
| Best episode ever. 15 minutes of wholesome 5 minutes of movie-quality weird Loved it |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| After coming to this thread I have a lot more appreciation for the episode. Before that I was trying to unpack my initial feelings about the episode. Not having read the manga, I first of all wondered if it was filller because it was so out there and different (I mean, ALIENS). And second of all I was perplexed by the slice of life pacing and general dreamy mood. The end of the ep REALLY threw me for a loop lol. But coming to find out it is canon to the manga too, and realizing it's exactly like ONE to add in something this bizarre and almost silly to his already unique stories. And then realizing this is probably BONES' swan song type episode where they took the slice of life aspect (and the entire end fever dream sequence) pretty seriously for emotional impact. I still would have preferred for the overall sake of the show if they had condensed it into one single faster-paced episode, which would have made it inherently funnier because this mind-boggling set of events is happening pretty fast. |
| Why the Aliens reminds me of Tsubomi? lol |

It felt like a full fledged filler. Out of 8 episodes so far, 6 could be easily skipped without missing anything worthwhile. I don't remember why this series was supposed to be good anymore.

Fail_Man_X said: I generally like the slice of life stuff, but this was pretty boring and ugly It just seemed to serve zero purpose. |
| Okay chill episode before the last big story arc i think. I liked it to calm down and now i'm ready for the next week! |
