Mob Psycho 100 is a comedy-action anime about Shigeo 'Mob' Kageyama, an all-powerful psychic boy working for a fake psychic mentor while trying to live a normal school life. Bones animated all three seasons (2016–2022), 37 episodes plus two OVA specials, and the anime adapts ONE's complete manga, so the full story is finished.
About Mob Psycho 100
Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed Mob, can bend spoons, exorcise spirits and level buildings with his psychic power. The strongest esper alive is somehow just an awkward middle-schooler who wants to be liked, get fit and maybe impress his crush. He works part-time for Arataka Reigen, a cheerful con artist with zero psychic powers who sells Mob's talent as a real exorcism business while teaching him that powers do not make a person special. Animated by Bones across three seasons (2016–2022), Mob Psycho 100 balances wild, experimental action with a warm story about growing up: Mob joins the Body Improvement Club, clashes with rival esper Teruki Hanazawa and the esper-supremacist organisation Claw, and slowly learns to express the feelings he has bottled up, because when his emotions hit 100%, his power explodes. The anime adapts ONE's complete 16-volume manga in full, so the story has a proper, satisfying ending.
Mob Psycho 100 is a TV anime from 2016, first released in Summer 2016. It belongs to the Action and Comedy and Supernatural genres and is listed as a completed series. The summary above is written by the AnimeYug team in our own words.

Story & Plot
Mob works after school at Spirits and Such Consultation Office, where the 'greatest psychic of the 21st century', Arataka Reigen, talks a big game and quietly lets Mob do the actual exorcisms. Mob keeps his emotions, and his immense power, tightly bottled, counting toward explosions he cannot control. School life pulls him in new directions: the Body Improvement Club trains his weak body, his brother Ritsu awakens powers of his own, and the spirit Dimple moves in as an unlikely adviser.
The threats keep growing. Rival esper Teruki Hanazawa starts as an enemy and becomes a friend; the esper group Claw kidnaps Ritsu and later wages open war under its boss, Toichiro Suzuki; and the evil spirit Mogami traps Mob in a nightmare world. In the final season, a giant broccoli worshipped as a divine tree, a fake 'Psycho Helmet' cult and Mob's feelings for his crush Tsubomi force him to face the part of himself he has always run from, with Reigen delivering the most honest confession of his life to stop him.
