Mob Psycho 100 revolves around the story of Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama. Shigeo is a middle school student endowed with psychic abilities at a very young age. As a very shy and introverted person, Shigeo realizes that the use of his abilities is perceived negatively. So, he restrains from using his skills as much as he can. As Shigeo becomes more aware of who he is without his abilities, he seeks to become friends with Tsubomi, a girl in his class, who he’s had a crush on. Wanting to grow closer to her, Shigeo continues on his journey balancing his supernatural gift and learning to fit in.

Mob Psycho 100 and Hinamatsuri are both entertaining anime capturing a similar comedic style about superpowers and fighting. Our characters demonstrate a parent and child relationship, portraying personality traits that are very much alike. The duos in both make an unusual pair, but their wild antics make for an amusing viewing experience.

Beelzebub follows the story of Tatsumi Oga, a first-year high school student at Ishiyama High. This institution is recognized for its delinquent attendants, and its common knowledge not to mess with Tatsumi. One day, Tatsumi encounters a man floating down a river. After saving this man, the man spontaneously bursts open down the middle, revealing a baby who immediately forms a bond with Tatsumi. Tatsumi later discovers that this baby is named Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, or Baby Beel —the son of the Demon Lord! With help from Hildegard, Beel's demon maid, they attempt to raise Baby Beel, surrounded by juvenile delinquents and demonic powers.

Beelzebub and Hinamatsuri share many commonalities, but the most notable is that our main male characters, Tatsumi and Nitta, are two “rough around the edges” guys who come into contact with a supernatural entity who aids them further down the road. Baby Beel and Hina have extraordinary powers but are humbled by humanity, learning and growing with the help of their young mentors. For the most part, viewers get a similar vibe when watching Beelzebub and Hinamatsuri.

Saiki Kusuo is your average high school student, except for the fact that he has impressive superpowers at his command. Despite the fact that his abilities are the envy of every ordinary person, Saiki finds his superpowers an inconvenience. As he tries to live life as normally as possible, his powers are a burden, continually getting in the way of being just like everyone else.

Featuring characters with psychokinetic power, Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan and Hinamatsuri are fantastic comedies highlighting the lives of Saiki and Hina as they try to integrate their abilities into everyday life. Whether their powers are an inconvenience or an advantage, viewers are eager and anxious to see how their remarkable skills will unfold in countless scenarios.

On one peculiar day, Kobayashi meets a dragon named Tohru in the mountains. Agreeing that Tohru can stay at her house during a drunken conversation, Kobayashi realizes what she’s done the next day and turns Tohru away. As Kobayashi is feeling some guilt, or perhaps a sour stomach, she changes her mind and tells Tohru to stay, with a few conditions. Can this dragon maid clean? Do laundry? Greet people? Cook? Watch and see how Tohru acclimates to the chores of humanity while also bringing her squad of friends to Earth, how Kobayashi helps Tohru and friends along the way, and as Kobayashi discovers a new way of living.

Life was dull and boring for Kobayashi and Nitta until they were graced with a supernatural being. From that moment forward, their lives changed for the better. Both Miss Kobayahi’s Dragon Maid and Hinamatsuri contain unexciting young adults who are introduced to an exciting, out of this world being that must learn how to survive with humankind. The pairs in each series ultimately learn a bunch of things from one another, and in the end, their lives improve exponentially.

When the authorities finally catch up with Sana, Zouroku is roped into Sana's troubles. However, underneath his stubborn quality, Zouroku has a heart of gold, offering Sana a place to stay. From this moment on, an exciting life begins for the most unlikely pair.

Both in the supernatural genre, Alice to Zouroku and Hinamatsuri share an identical story of a young girl guided by an older male but approach this concept from different directions. Alice to Zouroku has elements of mystery and adventure while Hinamatsuri is a little slice of life and comedy. Nevertheless, both stories express a personal and collective journey of two varied ways of life merging into one.
