**100% HEADPHONE WARNINGS** 

I thought we were going to have Body Improvement Club shenanigans and instead we have Mob getting ushered into a CULT, ran by a spirit who tries to rival Mob's telepathic prowess and instead unearths a heap of psychological damage our sweet summer bean has been dealing with -- leading to Mob reaching 100% !! I can't believe it's THIS SOON in the series we've got there!  

Oh, and Reigan shows up to not only ACTUALLY provide some words of wisdom, but be a legitimate good mentor?! This episode is subverting ALL my expectations and I'm in love with it!

2022-10-17 09:14:54 With regards to this episode, I think I've mentioned before that this is one of my all time favorite series for personal reasons. This episode starts to show why. In mental health care there is a category of symptoms classified as "autistic" and in order to qualify for a diagnosis those symptoms have to be bad enough to completely disrupt your life. Mary Temple Grandin once gave a talk about people with "autistic features", that is, people with severe neurodiversity in that category but not so severe that it rules their lives. That doesn't mean it doesn't have extreme social effects, especially when they're young, and for the most part people with autistic features that don't rise to an autism diagnosis receive no assistance whatsoever. Mobu is such a person. His inability to process social cues and his inability to socially express himself are classic symptoms of autism. I am such a person though my symptoms are very different. I've mentioned my reaction to social noise before, which is certainly related, but it's a lot more than that. While I am almost always outwardly happy, I rarely if ever get angry or cry. This can be very bad in relationships because my partners would assume I was always fine, that nothing they did effected me, which sometimes couldn't have been further from the truth. I also struggle to process social cues and especially so when engaging with more than one person. There is a whole set of life skills I've had to develop that others seem to just have naturally. I also could relate really strongly to the struggle of being able to do things others can't and everyone telling me how great that is but that those things I can do (in my case software engineering, drawing, and spatial reasoning come naturally) don't make up one bit for my inability to operate socially in the world. Without getting into too much further into detail, I'll say that I really appreciate this series for having a protagonist with autistic features who is realistically portrayed and still allowed to be the hero. He isn't the one everyone is always having to protect, and he isn't perfect, he's just a person who experiences the world differently and tries to be the best Mobu he can be despite that. Mobu is a role model for children (and adults!) with autistic features and that makes me so happy. Side note: "The animation style gets all chalky and weird" <--This is actually really interesting. What you're seeing here is watercolor painting on glass. It gives a really contrasting look to the rest of the animation and each successive frame is actually painted by modifying the previous so there's an odd feeling like the lines are being dragged around. It's really neat IMHO and one of my favorite artistic direction choices in the series.

2022-10-17 09:14:55 I hadn’t thought about Mob having markers for autism, but after reading your comment, it definitely makes sense, especially in regards to him realizing he has the inability to read and process social cues or to socially express himself! I am glad you’re able to come at this show with your own experience and detail it in these comments! Having that perspective adds another layer to the show and its characters; not just Mob but the others surrounding and supporting him, too. That is so true as well – having strengths in anything is great, but if you’re wanting to have skills in something else, it can still be a struggle. I agree that I love Mob and how he’s not trying to be the best hero, or perfect, but live his life and be kind to others while using his powers. &lt;3 I love that, so far in the series! And yessss, that’s so cool about the watercolor on glass! It’s such a neat way to animate that ED and I really love it as well! Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words and comment!
