The second season of Mob Psycho 100 got some attention this weekend at the Anime NYC convention as the panel for it revealed a few things. First, we have a new key visual that you can see below and second it’s been set for a January 7th, 2019 premiere. Additionally, it was revealed that Crunchyroll will stream the season, which was pretty much expected based on their work and promotion on the first.
The series was animated by Bones and was directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa based on the series composition by Hiroshi Seko. Character designs were done by Yoshimichi Kameda with Kenji Kawai doing the music for it.
The Japanese cast includes Setsuo Ito as Shigeo Kageyama and Takahiro Sakurai as Arataka Rengei. MOB CHOIR will sing the opening “99″ while ALL OFF will handle the ending theme song “Refrain Boy.”
The manga comes from creator ONE which began back in 2012 and has fifteen volumes out at this time.

Plot concept: Shigeo Kageyama (a.k.a. “Mob”) is a 8th grader with psychic abilities. He could bend spoons and lift objects with his mind from a young age, but he slowly began to withhold from using his abilities in public due to the negative attention he received. Now, the only thing he wants is to become friends with a girl in his class, Tsubomi. With his psychic “mentor” (who has no psychic powers), he continues his daily life, attempting to realize his purpose in life.
