Anime Like Mob Psycho 100
Detroit Metal City
One of the most common critiques of Mob Psycho 100 —or rather the reason people say they can’t get into it— is that it’s a bit weird. It’s something that is understandable, as ONE created some interesting character designs and plots for the supernatural comedy.
If that style of anime does pique your interest though, Detriot Metal City is for you. This vulgar comedy tells the story of Souichi Negishi, a shy kid who hopes to become a pop star.
Along the way, it turns out that our shy protagonist has a bit of knack for playing blackened death metal. Under the stage name of Johannes Krauser II, he garners an insanely morbid, exaggerated reputation.
Among the list of things associated with Krauser II performances are that he is rumored to be a terrorist demon from hell, to have killed and raped his parents, to wield his giant death penis with abandon, and many other menacing tales.
Detroit Metal City takes that over the top style people think is on full display in Mob Psycho 100 and cranks it up to 11.
