Mob Psycho 100 is a Japanese anime series based on the manga series created by One. The anime adaptation was produced by Bones and directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa. Hiroshi Seko wrote the scripts, Yoshimichi Kameda designed the characters, and Kenji Kawai composed the music. The series aired between July 12 and September 27, 2016, on Tokyo MX. For season 1, the opening theme song, titled "99", was performed by Mob Choir, while the ending theme song, titled "Refrain Boy" (リフレインボーイ, Rifurein Bōi), was performed by All Off. The series was simulcast on Crunchyroll, while Funimation broadcast the show's simuldub. The English dub was produced by Bang Zoom! Entertainment. On April 18, 2019, Funimation and Crunchyroll confirmed that season 2 would simuldub on April 25.
A second season of the anime series was announced, with the staff and cast returning to reprise their roles. Mob Psycho 100 II aired from January 7 to April 1, 2019, with the series being simulcast on Crunchyroll.
A third season, titled Mob Psycho 100 III, was confirmed to be in production in October 2021. It aired from October 6 to December 22, 2022. The third season's simuldub was slated to be produced by Crunchyroll rather than Bang Zoom! with some roles recast, due to the choice to move dub production to in-person recording sessions at their Dallas based studio, rather than remote recordings, after largely relying on the latter at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the planned recastings was the voice of Mob, Kyle McCarley, who stated that he would likely not be reprising the role as Crunchyroll had refused to negotiate a potential union contract for future anime dubbing productions with McCarley's union SAG-AFTRA. McCarley had offered to work non-union on season 3 under the condition that Crunchyroll have a discussion with SAG-AFTRA, but since this did not proceed, McCarley did not return. This news prompted much backlash and criticism of Crunchyroll on social media.

| A self-proclaimed exorcist and fraud named Reigen Arataka attempts to exorcise an evil spirit, despite having only stumbled onto it by accident. Much to Reigen's shock, the spirit seems to only be annoyed by his ineffective attacks, which consist of throwing a handful of table salt at the spirit (meant to be purified salt). Reigen then unleashes his secret weapon: calling in an actual psychic (also referred to as an esper), Shigeo Kageyama, a.k.a. "Mob", to banish the spirit for him with his psychokinetic powers. Mob is an extremely powerful psychic, despite only being in middle school. Some time later, Reigen is contracted to get rid of evil spirits inhabiting a tunnel. Once again, Reigen manages to trick Mob into doing most of the work for him. One of the ghosts, the deceased leader of a biker gang, warns of an even more powerful monster located deeper in the tunnel, and begs Reigen and Mob to not fight it. However, Mob manages to take it down anyway. The spirits of the leader and his gang are finally at peace and move on to the afterlife. | |||||||||

Regretting that he had only used Mob, he smiles at the camera and says "You have grown up", whereupon the whole conference building starts to shake and cameras begin to hover. The media is freaked out, believing that it's Reigen's doing, they accuse him and beg him to be saved, only for Reigen to ignore and walk out on them. Afterwards, Reigen meets up with Mob and Dimple, asking why they came, which he claims was for no particular reason. Reigen asks him if he now knows his true identity, after what the media discovered, but Mob simply answers that he knew Reigen's true identity all along: that he was a "good person". | ||||||||

Reigen desperately tries to figure out what is up in the other dimension but finds himself stuck in a never-ending loop on the train, while Serizawa learns he can travel in and out with ease. After many days trapped alone on the train, with it being just a few hours in the real life, Reigen figures out what Serizawa has been doing and gets him to bring Mob and the others to help. They are able to deduce that the issue is regarding a spiritual essence that is clogging up Ihoben, and swiftly dispose of it, returning to the real world. Dimple figures out that the owners of the hot springs are descendants of Ihoben and possess latent psychic powers, and the distortion was due to her catching a cold. With the mystery solved, Reigen and the crew make their way back home the following day, with Reigen once again falling asleep in the tunnel, just as one of the elders of the hot springs catches a cold. | |||||||
