I can't really disagree due to the fact that I agree with all of that.
Mob is a show that has always rubbed me the wrong way a bit due the the whole "mediocrity is the best; don't have pride in any talent you have" message, so it's something I've enjoyed in spite of myself and I guess that affords it a lot of latitude to do whatever the fuck it wants to do. The fact that I have no idea where it's going from here even though I can narratively analyse almost anything is enough for me.
About Mob's abilities - It's more that there are very little ways he can use them in public (assuming he doesn't want to drag ton of attention), so it's cleverer than OPM's shtick. And Mob comes to terms with it when he decides to go to the fitness club despite not being the type, which is very much against mediocrity. The overall moral in that regard is that you shouldn't take shortcuts but improve yourself.

Maybe the real Bocchi the Rock were the friends we made along the way
don't forget right afterwards they roll credits, specifically made for it.

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun is still a funny anime, and it’s also one of the best parodies you’ll see about shoujo anime as a whole:

Tokkou no Shima (The Island of Tokkou)
This story takes place in 1944. Japan is entering a crucial phase in the war against the United States. Cities and towns in Japan fall one after the other under America's continuous bombing. They even get hold off the pacific coast due to their mighty force of 230 submarines, but Japan refuses to admit defeat. They must stop the enemy's advances at all costs. Testings for their new weapon are done - the Kaiten, a suicide torpedo with a built-in cockpit was ready to be mobilized into the battlefield. The time is now perfect for Japan to recruit pilots and station them at a military base on a remote island. Volunteers will forfeit their lives, but recruiters do their patriotic duty: the fate of Japan rests on their shoulders! A fascinating and psychological story on these suicide missions told from the Japanese soldiers' perspective.
 
From what I can tell, Saint Seiya (a.k.a. Knights of the Zodiac) is one of the more prominent Jump series, enough to get several spin-offs, adaptations, and appearances in Jump games. It's about knights and Greek mythology and shit like that.
It's one I've been meaning to read.

News of death

September 25th, 2020

Mr. Naoya Ueno, who is writing in our magazine, passed away.

All of the editorial departments sincerely pray for your soul.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to your relatives.

Kind of shocked that they had waited two years to report the death of a popular ero-doujinshi artist for their manga. If you by any chance have a n-hentai account, you can search his name and it had a lot of likes on there.
 
One of the season’s “stereotypical harem anime” took a sudden swerve into a different genre and got hyper depressing, apparently.

Renai Flops? That's the one I see from searching around comments. At least it's not depressing via NTR.
But waiting 2/3 of the season to get interesting is not a smart play.

That’s the one. Though “all the girls in your harem are fake and an A.I. based on your dead childhood friend and you’ve been unaware in a simulation for 6 months” might be considered just a higher level of NTR.
