Mob Psycho 100 centers around the life of eighth grader Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed Mob (モブ Mobu)), who has psychic abilities that, despite his attempts to lead a normal life, seem to reel him into dangerous situations. A self-proclaimed psychic named Reigen uses Mob's abilities to his advantage, having him exorcise evil spirits while taking all the credit. Whenever Mob's powers reach level 100, though, it's more than either are capable are handling.
A short video was released by Netflix that announced what shows and movies will be joining the streaming giant in May, which you can see below.

Awesome thanks
Nice, pretty much shot for shot like the anime. Although I feel this may have been better as a film instead of a series (bigger budget, better effects)
