Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan(TV) AKA 'The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.' is a Japanese gag anime based on the manga of the same name by Shūichi Asō. Kusuo Saiki is a high school student who was born with all manner of psychic abilities, including telepathy, psychokinesis, teleportation, and more. Despite having all these powers, Saiki faces all kinds of hardships and tries to avoid attention as much as possible. The story follows Saiki as he attempts to secretly use his powers to live a normal high school life while dealing with his less than ordinary classmates at P.K. Academy.

Story: 8/10

There isn't any rigid story-line or synopsis. Saiki is more out to be a slice-of-life comedy anime.

Animation: 8/10

Animation is good. The characters are well made to fit in their comic roles.

Voice & Score: 9/10

The voice actors are doing a really great job, although the dialogue is pretty fast sometimes and it may be a little hard to follow, but it is understandable for such a short anime. The intro song is very short , but it is catchy and fits the anime. The background music, also, fills the scenes nicely.

Characters: 10/10

They are core of the anime. Each and every one of them are quite hilarious(especially Kaidou and Nendou). The protagonist himself is the center of this 'flood'.

Entertainment: 10/10

I mean you can't possibly count the gags and comic situations in this anime. The more you laugh, the more you forget about the previous ones. This makes the anime a watchable one to its very end.

Overall: 10/10

I'm trying to be honest here that 'The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.' is 'Most Underrated' Anime of 2016. It didn't receive quite an appreciation or recognition from the anime audience. But those who had watched the anime hail the series with unanimous positive responses. As for enjoyment, Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan will definitely make you laugh with its hilarious jokes, interactions and characters! I sincerely suggest you guys to watch this 'awesome-flick' and laugh out loud!! :))

My god I had such a fun time watching this anime. The japanese humor in this series is just gold. Mainly focusing on beeing non enthusiastic in every situation which to me is hilarius. But of you don´t really like anime or thinking about trying this as your first it might not be a good idea. Definetly not for everyone. Only thing that did not give it 10 stars was that some episodes where really not that great compared to others.

Saiki has ultra strong psychic abilities, which makes me dare say that he is the most powerful anime character of all time (even more powerful than One Punch Man or Goku). However, trying to live your life as an ordinary kid among ordinary people will surely produce so much tension-- which is the where The Disastrous Life of Saiki K revolves around.

Saiki is a very introverted, extremely self-reliant, boring teen, but his commentaries and how people (and animals) interact all around him make this show hilarious.

The show does not follow a linear storyline and features several mini-episodes for each 24-minute episode. There is no culminating plot and the series doesn't require you to invest too much time to see the next episodes to understand a grand story. This anime is light to watch and is very entertaining and enjoyable. Highly recommended anime!

One day I was scrolling through netflix and that's when I saw disastrous life of saiki k and it sounded really ironic but I was dead wrong this show is most funniest anime I have seen in my life, i have watched this show three times and every time has been incredible

Saiki Kusuo) is the main protagonist of the series who has all kinds of ESP-related abilities. He usually avoids getting into troublesome situations. His trademark appearances contain his green-tinted glasses and two pink antennas located slightly above each ear which have the function of limiting his power

This is one of the funniest things that I've ever seen, and I watch a lot of comedy. Every single element about this show works, from the great voice acting, to the comedic timing, to the characters, to the magic, to the simplistic art style that helps make the actual animation more intricate and fluid. I would highly recommend watching this show.

I don't have anything else to say except for redundant praise regarding literally every aspect of the show.

I was looking for something uplifting, so, my girlfriend suggested this beautiful show to me, and guess what? I binged it like a maniac. The colourful characters and the topsy-turvy life of Saiki K is so enjoyable it can lift anyone up, usually I also keep an eye on the technicalities but I just couldn't while watching it. This show gave me happiness and I can't thank the creators enough!

This is the first anime I've watched that is entirely comedy-centered, and I have to say that I like it a lot.

I really like how the creators mixed fantasy, comedy and romance. I don't often watch shows that fall under the romance genre but I really enjoy this one. I love the characters and setting, definitely recommend!

This is hilarious show full of hilarious moment from episode 1 episode 100 i cant stop watching this hilarious Great show .

After the first few episodes, I thought to myself that this could very well be the funniest show I have ever watched. The humour was spot on, and the development of Kusuo's stoic character and the exploration of his powers (and its limitations) was creative and interesting.

Now, for Kusuo it is very important that others (especially his classmates) don't find out about his powers because that would create all sorts of problems for him. But this also somewhat ruins the show because after a while, all it is about is how Kusuo finds creative ways (by abusing his powers) to avoid his classmates, instead of just telling them that he doesn't want to hang around with them. For example, there is a girl who clearly likes him, but instead of just telling her that he isn't interested, he plays the very cruel game of just avoiding her and playing mean tricks on her.

At this point, he ist just getting obnxious, and the show gets tedious to watch as most of the episodes just feel the same. The supporting characters only fasten the demise. The initial humour is completely gone.

I thought the jokes on this were way too overpowering, maybe its the fact I don't get some humour but clearly for this one, I just couldn't just always laugh at. I mean there are bits to laugh at but most of it were not at all that funny. Dissapointed this anime didn't do the good for me but oh well...

This anime is incredibely funny! The jokes and the stories are always out of this world! I got so addicted this anime that I finished watching the first season (24 episodes) in just 1 day and I never do that so that's amazing!

The writing and story really works and is rather amusing.

Even if you drop in at a random episode like I did originally then this series just works. Well worth worth a few minutes of your time to check out even if you are not a anime fan.

It's kind of - the main character is roasting everyone in the anime. It's fun to watch. Enjoyed very much.

Saiki's powers and introversion compound one another in this comedy series. I love that the episodes are mostly self contained so you can pick up at different episodes without missing too much of the story, although you might miss some of the character profession arcs.

There is a little dialogue humor as well, but not as much as the character and situational humor. Watch the first episode and you'll be able to tell immediately if this series is for you. It's totally great for me.

Saiki K is one of anime's greatest comedies that is less known despite being acknowledged as one of the greatest ongoing animes. Check all the funniest animes and I'm shocked to notice that this series still does not have the fame it deserves. It must be on par with gintama. The show appears first not to take itself seriously as most things are rushed through in the early episodes but it does one thing perfectly- makes you laugh on the turn of every single episode. Never have I enjoyed any anime comedy like this. The D.L. of Saiki K made me laugh so hard. The main character Kusuo is not the funniest centre of the show unlike Gintama, school days, or Toradora. The true gold of the show are the side characters: Nendou and co. So much attention is given to a large side characters who never disappoint and really make us laugh our hearts out. For Saiki having such abilities, one will think there will be main villain or something but no. Rarely is there a bad guy threatening the protagonists. Instead the show focuses on the slice of life, and really works on the comedy. What I like about this comedy is that it doesn't invest too much in parodies such as race jokes, poking other countries, anime titles, movies, etc. Instead the anime focuses on its own unique way of comedy and trust me it will really make you laugh. The animation is great and the pacing is great. However, more sequels should be released quickly because there is a whole lot of great arcs that can be taken from the manga. However, this anime is still stereotypical as art styles for black characters suck hard! Zolbe Kageyukouji is given a terrible art style. His lips for instance is the same as Takahasi's which is described as ugly by everyone in the show. That's very disappointing for these great Japanese shows. Look at Kilik Rung of Soul Eater and some blacks in Bleach. These are worthy of emulation. Zolbe also has those typical stereotypical ghetto character. Japanese artists and writers must really step up because there are a lot of black people who love anime but many turn away in disappointment because of silly blunders like these.

All of the charecters are so amazing and so funny i would recommend this anime to anyone who likes comedy i have watched this anime 3 times and i still love it so much. 10/10

Best anime I have every seen, comedy, characters, jokes, everything is top notch.

If you want a show about a person that's too powerful or smart for his own good watch Mob Psycho 100 or OPM. They do this character study way better overall and have great animation and action.

AS FOR THE SHOW ITSELF The first season of the show is great and enjoyable but after that it gets very repetitive and boring. Every "arc" is a woman falling in love for Saiki for some random reason and Saiki spends a few episodes messing with them/avoiding them. Why does every new woman character like Saiki? Whatever. Same jokes over and over. Saiki has his weird friend or he meets some weird crazy character and everyone is basically a nuisance to him.

Thats it "I wrote this text in spanish and then used google traductor sorry idk"

I deserve your best insults, nah I don't know I just didn't like it, and now, I could say that they talk very fast and blah blah blah etc etc. In the anime they explain the reason for it, so it's a cool joke I guess, but at a certain point it bored me, I don't know why, if it's not the first anime that does this thing of talking quickly, but something bothers me I don't know why, maybe I don't like the comedy either and unfortunately the animation isn't to my liking either, unfortunately I didn't laugh, the guy's social relationships are all stereotypes, it's cool but I got a little bored, I just think this series isn't made for my taste.

To the people who do like this series, I hope you have a good day and I apologize for my very negative opinion.
