    Really funny character and situational humor

    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.

    LAUGH OUT LOUD!! The "Most Underrated" Anime of 2016.

    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!! :))

    Brilliant.

    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.

    Hilarious Comedy Centered Around (Possibly) Anime's Strongest Character

    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!

    Watched over someones shoulder, kept watching after they left.

    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.
