Mob Psycho 100 II: The First Spirits and Such Company Trip ~A Journey that Mends the Heart and Heals the Soul~

The OVA Mob Psycho 100 II: The First Spirits and Such Company Trip was produced by studio bones and released in 2019 to bridge the gap between the second season of the anime and ongoing story arcs. It follows Shigeo Kageyama, Arataka Reigen, and the rest of the staff as they embark on a hot springs trip that spirals into a surreal, supernatural mystery. The production was intended to showcase the studio's signature kinetic animation style while providing a contained, character-focused narrative that highlights the idiosyncratic bond between the show's mentor and mentee figures.

Directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa, the special maintains the distinct visual language established by the television series, which emphasizes the raw, sketchbook-like character designs of original author ONE. The animation team focused on blending high-energy action sequences with the series' characteristic moments of quiet emotional development. It was received as a faithful expansion of the source material, celebrated for its ability to balance absurd supernatural comedy with the series' core themes of personal growth and empathy.
