posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Southeast Asian channel Animax Asia began streaming an English-subtitled trailer for the Mob Psycho 100 anime on Sunday. The channel will simulcast the anime beginning on Tuesday, July 12 at 9:30 p.m. in Jakarta and Bangkok, and 10:30 p.m. in Singapore and the Philippines. The series will air in the same time slot every Tuesday, on the same day as Japan.
Animax Asia describes the anime:
Adapted from a celebrated manga by One Punch Man author ONE, Mob Psycho 100 is a supernatural comedy that revolves around Kageyama Shigeo, a seemingly ordinary boy who keeps his psychic powers hidden. Known to others as “Mob”, Shigeo intentionally refrains from making his presence known or standing out amongst others due to a peculiar affliction – his psychic powers will go out of control and he explodes if his emotional capacity reaches 100%! Produced by renowned studio BONES (known for its work on hit series such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Space Dandy), fans are sure to be in for an amazing visual treat!

Original creator ONE wrote the lyrics to the song.
The manga creator ONE launched the Mob Psycho 100 series on Ura Sunday in 2012 and later in Shogakukan's MangaOne app in 2014. Shogakukan published the 12th compiled book volume of the manga on June 17.
