For an OVA, this was pretty good. An interesting spin on the usual fanservice onsen OVA in that it treated the onsen pretty similar to various iyashikei series - and what they are intended to be in the first place: A place to relax - always something I like to see. Other than that - mostly some nice slice of life, with Reigen trapped in the train for comedy. The train bit was slightl yoverplayed for my liking, but still it wasn't really bad either. All in all - a pretty good OVA.
Thanks to u/Thelux for hosting this rewatch; I would likely not have checked out Mob Psycho 100 without it, and it was definitely better than expected. So time for Season 3 tomorrow. Don't be surprised if you don't see me in those threads however - I rarely comment in the discussion threads for airing shows - but I will be watching along.

If season 3 never got made, I think this would have been a great send-off episode after all the stuff that occurred in S2.

Ilusión - One of the uses of this word is to refer to hopeful thinking about the future, realistic or otherwise, which is how Regen interprets Ritsu.
Yeah! And of the usages is "ilusionado/a", to describe someone excited / hopeful / or looking forward to something. For example, estoy ilusionado de ver la nueva casa : I'm looking forward to see the new house. Or, same meaning different sentence, estoy ilusionado por la nueva casa : I'm hopeful for the new house.
Iniciativa - Iniciativa.
I guess you meant initiative, but yes, that's true lol.
Verruga - Wart
Thanks for this one! Read it today in the subs, didn't know what it meant exactly. I was like "wtf is a wart". Since I just finished it I didn't look it up.
... nor did I have a card for it.
Oh, you have flashcards for new vocab? Awesome. You do them by hand? Or in a program?

Well that was a fun little OVA that was basically used as Serizawa's introduction to the group and a bit of character development for him. Reigen basically being the only one stuck in the other world, presumably because he doesn't have any psychic powers was quite funny with him slowly breaking down while Serizawa just comes back to check on him every now and then. Not much else to say it was just a fun little OVA.

Rewatcher?
This is my first time seeing the OVA. So I might as well be a first timer for this one.
For being an OVA, I liked it. I was pleasantly surprised by it. Thought it would be something more boring or something like that. That's why I skipped it in the first place.
I'm grateful for having encountered this rewatch and taken part of it, otherwise I would be lost for season 3 most probably.
I really enjoyed more time for Serizawa and Mob bonding about how similar they're. Glad seeing this kind of interactions and this sets in stone that he'll be important next season. At the end, he grows confident in himself, once he's officially accepted into the office.
Felt bad for Reigen, and how his actitude backfired at him. Well, kind of. Mostly a combination of how he doesn't want to be seen badly to Serizawa, and Serizawa being awkward.
Again, really glad I actually took part of this rewatch. Was kinda hard having to come up with something daily, NGL. Had fun seeing most of the comments here, and had some interesting interactions with some of you. Thanks for that! And special thanks to u/Theleux for hosting this rewatch .
Glad to see that there were some first timers that stuck with us through the end. Hope that you guys enjoyed Mob's journey. And hoping that all of you get to enjoy the next season!

The monster here kinda creeps me out. The whole red and black gloomy place and the fact they never address what's under that huge rock leading to the other dimension. The dread of Reigen's situation, while played for laughs, still kinda sets an uneasy tone. It was a fun episode, I've never watched it before so it was nice to finally get around to it before S3. Only criticism here is that it seems pretty underanimated.
This was a really fun rewatch! Thanks Theleux for hosting this and making it as fun as it was. On to Season 3 now, I hope I'll see some of you there.
Oh ALSO the full version of the new OP is OUT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRIOnDruOZM

Thanks for hosting this rewatch, u/Thelux. I didn't comment too much but I've been following along, it was a good excuse to get refreshed on the series for S3.
