Paint on Glass Animation in Mob Psycho

This study block I found the free time to rewatch a show called Mob Psycho, which stood out to a lot of people because of it's quite unique animation style despite it being a Japanese anime. It seemed quite rough around the edges in some cases, but this was by choice, and it really made the 'bigger' scenes stand out. The director Yuzuru Tachikawa wanted to adapt the source material in fantastic ways, and I think he achieved this by working with Miyo Sato, a Tokyo University of Arts graduate and animator who has had her work nominated for multiple international animation contests. They  included Paint on Glass animation, which is a very different media from the usual. It was even combined with the digital animation in some shots, but I still think it worked well in getting across the stronger emotions.

Below are some examples.
