Sooo good. Him simply crying without losing control is something he couldnt have done at the beginning of S1. Sweet baby boy

I love that Mob & Emi are both in an awkward situation of lying to each other and weirdly going out of their ways for sparing each other's feelings, but because of that, they BOTH learn how to better stand up for themselves in their own lives afterwards.
I like when situations like this make both of them change for the better while also not having their shared feelings change romantically towards one another, even as they appreciate the other person more since they were able to escape the fear of vulnerability around being ridiculed because they had someone like them to face that with.
This episode really hits the perfect balance after the crazy farm opening, but especially because it focuses on shifting people's opinions through suggestive influence when direct force isn't a viable option. That's why the jerk girls just leave, because Mob is learning how to deescalate a situation to only have to deal with resistance when it's truly necessary.

You mentioned wanting to check out some scenes in dub when you're done; I was waiting for this episode, because it's a good one in the dub, that scene where he starts crying genuinely made me tear up with how the dub VA delivered it. <3

Love this episode so much, it might be my favourite episode of Mob because of this second half. Tears in my eyes every time.

I love this episode and the similarity between Emi and Mob as people that hide their true selves. If not Reigen and the BIC, Mob would still be 100% in his shell and now thanks to Mob, Emi doesn't need to pretend to not be herself in order to fit in.

Typical father when his daughter brings home a boyfriend: "ARE YOU POSSESSED BY DEMONS?! Somethings wrong here!"

From here all the way to the series finale is just nonstop magic.

If you want a (live action) series that's just fun as hell, I highly highly recommend Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It only has a few episodes, and your knowledge of filmmaking will greatly heighten your enjoyment of it. The full episodes are all available for free on YouTube if you're curious.

You mentioned your various series and what you want to pick up next, which reminded me there was a poll between Mob and Made in Abyss, which is a masterpiece, but I want to stress that unless you're in a place to handle very dark subject matter involving childen you might want to hold off on it for now.

Mob really needs to get over Tsubomi before he could date anyone else, but I do believe he had a good time with Emi and enjoyed her company. Under other circumstances, they could have been great friends.

I remember an interview with ONE the author who said he wanted to make something that felt Kind. And honestly, I really really feel that with Mob Psycho, particularly episodes like this.
Mob is a kind boy, and in turn he makes others kinder. I get to needlessly emotional watching this show, but I'll love it forever.

If I'm being completely honest, I think I prefer the whole going through a series straight through before picking up other series than just doing a few episodes and then picking up a new series over and over, it gives me that itch of content that I usually have to wait twice a week for continuously as a viewer and it feels so good. I dont know how hard the work load is but I just want to express that

I think Emi was serious when she said she was a lot like Mob in regard to feelings. She was suppressing herself and her feelings in order to fit in with her friend group, for the sake of acceptance. That's very similar to how Shigeo is trying to find acceptance from Tsubomi, and make friends, and improve his relationship with his brother, etc. So, just like Mob ran for president because someone told hm to, Emi asked Mob out because she was told to.
I think they really could have been a couple in another life if they weren't so used to hiding their true feelings from others that they couldn't even open up to each other in an honest manner. But they still formed connections and had shared interests even so. I think Emi really did enjoy her time with Mob, and that she wasn't faking. I think she told him about the dare on her way out so he wouldn't start to actually care about her and get more hurt in the long-run.
Just my take on it. I hope we see more of Emi.

Every episode of this season is a MASTAPIECE. Also you mustve rubbed off on me, because for some reason I'm crying way more than I did on my first watch.

This is such a strong opening to a season. It's already hitting all the right emotional beats
