Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan

To the average person, psychic abilities might seem a blessing; for Kusuo Saiki, however, this could not be further from the truth. Gifted with a wide assortment of supernatural abilities ranging from telepathy to x-ray vision, he finds this so-called blessing to be nothing but a curse. As all the inconveniences his powers cause constantly pile up, all Kusuo aims for is an ordinary, hassle-free life—a life where ignorance is bliss.

Unfortunately, the life of a psychic is far from quiet. Though Kusuo tries to stay out of the spotlight by keeping his powers a secret from his classmates, he ends up inadvertently attracting the attention of many odd characters, such as the empty-headed Riki Nendou and the delusional Shun Kaidou. Forced to deal with the craziness of the people around him, Kusuo comes to learn that the ordinary life he has been striving for is a lot more difficult to achieve than expected.

This is a comedy series by definition with a little romance sprinkled in. I have experienced a lot of funny moments in different shows but Saiki is in its own league. You would have sworn the show's creator was a comedian themself. The pure hilarity of the characters and the shenanigans will stick with you long after you watch it. It is definitely worth rewatching. The English dub is one of the few examples of a great dub for any anime series. Season 2 did not get a English dub unfortunately but I highly recommend watching that after this season. If you love comedy anime, ... you will love this series.

Mixed Feelings

the only anime to make me laugh out loud. still mourning the loss of Netflix dub not voicing season 2, the dub is what made the whole anime more funny. still a very good anime, one of my comfort shows. Honestly, the enjoyment of the show depends on the person. The show has some very funny characters and I hope that they make a dub for season 2 because that is what made the anime more enjoyable in my opinion. Saiki is a goated character and is the part that makes the series even more enjoyable. The only thing I don't like about the anime ... is that stupid 100 episode where they just said 100 a bunch, it was dumb lowkey. I love also how they break the 4th wall a bunch. anyways good funny anime.

Not Recommended

Saiki is an anime about a boy who has psychic powers but despite this awesome gift he is very pessimistic
Story: The story isn't really anything special but this anime doesn't particularly need anything grand as its very episodic and cut up in 5-minute segments.

Art: Pretty awful to be honest. Characters aren't ugly but the animation is so lazy.

Sound: The voice acting was fine, and they have some nice quirky sound effects which can be quite charming

Characters: Saiki is a funny character and is quite relatable in his thinking, however, the surrounding characters are very over the top and can sometimes be funny, but other ... times annoying

Enjoyment: This is just pure fun and something light-heart to put on in the background. The humour was funny at first but after a few hours of watching it became mundane.
