Review Disastrous Life of Saiki K š¤¹āāThe Almighty Who Just Wants to Be Normal
Welcome to another art post here in the community.
If there's one anime that made me laugh from beginning to end, it's Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan (or just The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.). Seriously, it's impossible to watch this without cracking up. The humor is fast-paced, full of sarcasm and absurdity, and the characters are completely insane. If you enjoy comedies that break away from the obvious and don't take themselves seriously, this one is a must-watch.
Unlike the manga, the anime was produced by Hiroaki Sakurai.
Saiki Kusuo is a guy born with insane psychic powers.
He can read minds, teleport, move objects, predict the future basically, he's a god (literally). But he doesnāt want any of that. All Saiki wants is to live a peaceful life without drawing attention. The problem? Heās surrounded by a bunch of lunatics who make his life a living hell.
The characters are hilarious
What really makes this anime so good are the characters and their interactions with Saiki. He himself is super sarcastic and always tries to avoid trouble, but the universe just wonāt cooperate.
| Character | Context |
|---|---|
| Nendou | A brute with zero intelligence. Literally. Saiki canāt even read his mind becauseā¦ well, thereās nothing there. |
| Kaidou | A guy who thinks heās part of a secret organization and has superpowers. In reality, he just lives in a fantasy world. |
| Teruhashi | The most popular girl in school, who is absolutely convinced that everyone adores her. But Saiki couldnāt care less, which makes her obsessed with him. |
| Hairo | The most motivated guy in the universe. He thinks everything in life can be solved with effort and a competitive spirit. |
| Kuboyasu | A former delinquent trying to be a normal guy, but he always ends up reverting to his aggressive nature. |
The best part is that all Saiki wants is peace, but these guys just wonāt leave him alone.
The humor is fast and smart
Unlike many comedy animes that drag things out, Saiki K. gets straight to the point. The jokes come one after another, with no time to breathe. Plus, it pokes fun at anime clichƩs, constantly breaks the fourth wall, and even makes jokes about the show's animation budget.
The Japanese voice acting is also top-notch. The characters speak super fast, which makes everything even funnier.
Is it worth watching?
Without a doubt. Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan is one of the funniest comedy animes I've ever watched. If you love sarcastic humor, absurd situations, and characters who are a walking disaster, this anime is perfect for you.
Though, I should warn people who prefer a more serious anime or one focused on "combat," so to speak. There are hardly any sequences like that sure, there are some funny conflicts that end in a brawl, but the animeās focus is purely on comedy.
And the best part:
The episodes are short and addictive, so itās really easy to binge-watch.
If you haven't watched it yet, add it to your list. Then let me know if you managed to get through a single episode without laughing.
I honestly didn't put it on my list because I was not sure about it but with your review I will put it on my watchlist š
Thanks for reading, sorry for the delay in replying
I liked how you described the essence of Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan; it truly is an anime that leaves no room for boredom. Its fast-paced approach and absurd humor make it unique within the comedy genre. Plus, the fact that it plays with anime clichƩs and breaks the fourth wall gives it a fresh and different touch.
I totally agree that the best part is how addictive it becomes, with short episodes that make you want to "just watch one more" until you realize you've watched half a season in one sitting.
Thanks for appreciating the post

Sorry, did I break any rules? I didn't notice any violations, I guess. Greetings
I don't like characters like Hairo, so much positivity is not good, but I see why you like this anime haha.
It's funny most of the time lol
Iāve seen images of this anime in quite a few places, but I havenāt actually given it a proper chance because if itās just typical Japanese comedy, I wonāt like itāthat kind of humour is odd to me. The only anime thatās ever made me laugh are the ones with a more Western-style humour, but those are pretty rare to find.
It literally tells the story from the beginning of a guy who is practically the most powerful on the planet. However, he just wants to be normal, but his friends don't understand that
