    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!! :))

    Amazing

    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

    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.

    I Found Happiness.

    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!

    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.
