Ten years is a long time in anime — long enough that the production staff scattered, life happened, and fans wondered if that particular lightning would ever strike again. On July 12, 2026, almost all of the original Mob Psycho 100 team answered that question at the “Mob Psycho 100 Anime 10th Anniversary Event: Reunion” at the Fukagawa Mirai Hall in Kawaguchi City, Saitama. They showed a brand-new animated short movie. It is now live on YouTube, and you can watch it right now.
The Anniversary Short: Reigen in Trouble, Original Staff Back Together
The short is set at the Spirits and Such Consultation Office and features the core crew: Reigen Arataka, Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama, Ekubo (Dimple), and Tome Kurata. The premise, fittingly, starts with an ordinary day at the office before Reigen lands himself in serious trouble — which is very on-brand. No spoilers on how it plays out.
Character designer Yoshimichi Kameda, who defined the series’ visually distinctive style across all three seasons, confirmed that nearly all of the original members were able to reunite and complete it. Kameda also released commemorative artwork to mark the milestone.
Ten Years of Mob Psycho 100: A Quick Recap
Mob Psycho 100 is the anime adaptation of ONE’s manga of the same name — ONE being the same creator behind One Punch Man. The anime debuted in July 2016 under studio Bones and director Yuzuru Tachikawa, and immediately turned heads for its hyper-kinetic animation and the surprisingly sincere emotional core beneath all the psychic carnage. Three seasons followed: Season 1 (July–September 2016), Season 2 (January–April 2019), and Season 3 (October–December 2022).
For Singapore anime fans who somehow missed all three seasons — all of them are on Crunchyroll, available to stream now. The anniversary short itself is free on YouTube with no subscription needed. For more on what is airing this season and beyond, see our manga and anime coverage.
