First Japanese ‘Mob Psycho 100’ Anime Blu-ray Box Set Packaging Arrives

The summer 2016 anime series Mob Psycho 100 is having its home video release plans handled by Warner Bros. Japan and they previously brought the show out with a familiar and solid schedule for it. With six single releases back in 2016 and early 2017 that were priced around 6,000 yen each, Warner Bros. Japan has now brought out a first season box set that arrived on December 19th, 2018 priced at 19,800 yen. We’ve now got a look at the larger packaging spread for it and the box artwork that definitely looks great since it doesn’t just replicate what came before.

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 twelve volumes out at the time that the anime was broadcast.

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.
