The correct Mob Psycho 100 watch order is one of the simplest in anime: Season 1, Season 2, then Season 3, straight through. There’s no filler and no movie to slot in — just 37 episodes across three seasons, plus two short OVAs you can watch or skip without losing the plot.
The Full Mob Psycho 100 Watch Order
Here’s every piece of Mob Psycho 100, in the order it’s meant to be watched:
- Mob Psycho 100 Season 1 (12 episodes, July–September 2016)
- Reigen: The Miraculous Unknown Psychic OVA (2018, optional)
- Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 (13 episodes, January–April 2019)
- Mob Psycho 100 II: The First Spirits and Such Company Trip OVA (2019, optional — the hot-springs episode)
- Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 (12 episodes, October–December 2022)
That’s it. Studio Bones ran the whole thing straight through its 2016–2022 run with zero canon movies, so once you’ve cleared the three seasons you’ve seen the entire story.
Season 2’s 13-episode run alone spanned 3 months in 2019, airing weekly from January to April — a tighter, uninterrupted schedule than most modern seasonal anime get.
Do You Actually Need to Watch the OVAs?
No, and that’s genuinely fine. Both OVAs are side stories built around Reigen and the Spirits and Such gang rather than the main plot — the 2018 Reigen special is a standalone case, and the 2019 hot-springs trip is comedy filler between Seasons 2 and 3. Skip them on a first watch if you’re chasing the story; come back for them once you’re attached to the cast, because that’s when the character-focused jokes actually land.
There’s also a six-episode Mob Psycho Mini ONA of 7-minute shorts bundled with the Season 1 Blu-ray. It has no plot to speak of and is the most skippable thing in the franchise.
That skippability is the point, and it’s rarer than it sounds. Compare it to the watch orders this site has already covered for Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece — all three built entire wiki pages just to list which filler arcs to avoid. Mob Psycho 100 never had to pad its runtime, because Studio Bones and ONE planned three seasons for a story that needed exactly three seasons. If you’ve been burned by a 500-episode watch order before, this is close to the opposite experience.
Main Story vs. Optional Extras
| Release | Type | Skip It? |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1 (2016) | Main story | No — required |
| Reigen OVA (2018) | Side story | Yes, safely |
| Season 2 (2019) | Main story | No — required |
| Mob Psycho 100 II OVA (2019) | Side story | Yes, safely |
| Mob Psycho Mini (2019) | Shorts, no plot | Yes, easily |
| Season 3 (2022) | Main story | No — required |
Is There a Mob Psycho 100 Movie or Season 4?
No movie, and no new season is coming. Season 3 wrapped the story ONE set out to tell, and it ended there. What did happen this year is a 10th-anniversary celebration: the cast and crew appeared at Anime Expo on July 4, 2026, followed by a separate one-day theatrical screening of a new anniversary short on July 20, 2026. Neither is new canon, so this watch order doesn’t change.
Creator ONE marked the anniversary with a statement thanking everyone who kept the story alive: “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, and that its story and characters continue to be enjoyed.”
Where to Stream Mob Psycho 100
All three seasons plus both OVAs are streaming on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed. It’s the only service carrying the full library in one place.
If you’re into ONE’s other big series, the tonal whiplash going into the strongest One Punch Man characters is worth it — same creator, wildly different pacing. And if Mob Psycho 100 got you hooked on tightly-run watch orders, the Hunter x Hunter watch order is next on the list for a series with actual filler to dodge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to watch the OVAs to understand Season 3?
No. Both OVAs are self-contained side stories about Reigen and the Spirits and Such gang. Skipping straight from Season 2 to Season 3 loses zero plot.
How many Mob Psycho 100 episodes are there in total?
37 television episodes across three seasons (12 + 13 + 12), plus two OVAs and a six-episode shorts ONA that sit outside the main numbering.
Is there a Mob Psycho 100 movie?
No. The anime is three TV seasons and nothing else in terms of canon — no theatrical film. A 10th-anniversary special aired in 2026, but it’s a celebration piece, not new story.
Will there be a Mob Psycho 100 Season 4?
No new season has been announced. Season 3 (2022) concluded the story from ONE’s original web manga, and 2026’s activity has been anniversary programming rather than a continuation.
