Ten years ago, a boy who wanted nothing to do with his own superpowers quietly became one of the most beloved characters in anime history. Now, Mob Psycho 100 is marking a full decade since its debut with a wave of anniversary celebrations, including a confirmed live event in July and a special US theatrical release. So if you have been wondering what exactly is happening and whether a new season or movie is on the way, here is a complete breakdown of everything officially confirmed.

This marks a rare opportunity for Western fans to see key creative figures behind the series in person.
What Anniversary Content Has Already Dropped?
Celebrations began earlier in 2026 on 12 May, which is the birthday of the main character Shigeo Kageyama. Two major pieces of content were revealed on that date:
A special 10th anniversary key visual created by anime character designer Yoshimichi Kameda was unveiled alongside a newly drawn original illustration by manga creator ONE himself.
Series creator ONE shared a message with fans: “Congratulations on the 10th anniversary! Has it really been 10 years since the first broadcast? Thanks to the director, staff, production committee, editorial team, and above all, the fans, I’m truly happy that Mob Psycho 100 has remained full of life.”
Voice actor Setsuo Ito also addressed fans directly, saying he could “hardly believe it” had been ten years and that Mob and Shigeo Kageyama continue to hold a special place in his heart.
What Is the #MyMobPsycho Campaign?
As part of the anniversary, a global hashtag campaign is running on X under #MyMobPsycho. Fans can use it to share their favourite scenes and personal memories connected to the series. Selected fan posts may be featured on official social media channels and could also be reflected in events held in Japan. The first theme for the campaign is “Your Favorite Scene.”
What Is Mob Psycho 100?
Mob Psycho 100 follows Shigeo Kageyama, also known as Mob, an eighth-grade student with extraordinary psychic powers who actively tries to suppress them and live a normal life. Under the guidance of Arataka Reigen, a self-proclaimed exorcist who is actually a con artist, Mob navigates spirits, powerful rivals, and his own emotional growth. When his feelings push past 100%, the results are explosive.
The anime is based on the manga written and illustrated by ONE, which began serialization in 2012 and concluded in 2017. ONE is also known for creating One Punch Man.
Studio BONES produced all three seasons of the anime, with the series running from 12 July 2016 to 22 December 2022.
| Season | Director | Year |
| Season 1 | Yuzuru Tachikawa | 2016 |
| Season 2 | Yuzuru Tachikawa | 2019 |
| Season 3 | Takahiro Hasui (Chief: Tachikawa) | 2022 |
The manga ran for 16 volumes plus a special story focused on Reigen, all of which have been translated into English.
Where Can You Watch Mob Psycho 100 Right Now?
All three seasons and the OVAs are currently available to stream on both Crunchyroll and Netflix. The manga’s 16 volumes are also available in English for anyone looking to read the source material ahead of the anniversary events.
