Mob Psycho 100
This series is from the same creator as One Punch Man but the art style is slightly different. I believe it kept the same art style from the creator rather than having a good professional artist. Mob Psycho 100 is about a middle school boy who isn't at all impressive looking, but has incredible psychic powers. The kid's name is Kageyama Shigeo, but he is mainly called Mob. Mob in Japanese is what you call background characters. You know the kind that probably doesn't get a name and doesn't get a lot of details drawn on them. So Mob works for his mentor, Reigen Arataka, who is actually a fake psychic and has convinced Mob that he is really amazing. Reigen has been taking advantage of Mob's powers for profit.
I have to say, I am enjoying this series a lot more than One Punch Man. Mob just wants to live like an average person, and probably sees his powers as a bad trait than a gift like many of those who witness it. Its rather interesting with how plain Mob is and he's surrounded by colorful characters. Not only does he deal with spirits and such, but other students and people who have psychic powers as well. I find it to be more varied than One Punch Man. Its also feels more relatable.
You may find the art style a bit weird, but I think it works really well with its goofy scenes and serious scenes. The characters are also very expressive and the animations are quality in each episode so far. While the studio isn't the same as One Punch Man, it is pretty good. There are even One Punch Man easter eggs in the show as well. Definitely recommend this one!
