Today is Mob’s birthday, and as promised we got something special for the occasion. More info was released on the previously-announced third season, with Mob Psycho 100 III officially lined up to premiere this October. To get everyone appropriately psyched, a new English-subtitled teaser trailer has arrived along with the latest update.
Yuzuru Tachikawa, who directed the first two seasons of Mob Psycho 100, has been bumped up to Executive Director for season three. Takahiro Hasui (episode 6 of Mob Psycho 100 II, episodes of Sk8 the Infinity) is the new director, joining the staff and cast from the first two seasons for more psychokinetic fun.
The official Twitter account also shared a special illustration for Mob’s birthday.

Crunchyroll streamed the first two seasons adapting ONE’s manga and the OVA as they aired. Here’s the official synopsis:
Kageyama Shigeo, a.k.a. “Mob,” is a boy who has trouble expressing himself, but who happens to be a powerful esper. Mob is determined to live a normal life and keeps his ESP suppressed, but when his emotions surge to a level of 100%, something terrible happens to him! As he’s surrounded by false espers, evil spirits, and mysterious organizations, what will Mob think? What choices will he make? The anime based on the original story by ONE, the idol of the webcomic world and creator of One-Punch Man, is coming your way with animation by leading animation studio Bones!
