Honestly season 2 is where this show peaked for me. I love the whole series but s2 is definitely my favorite, i just kept rewatching it over and over again and still laughed like the first time. The comedy gets even more absurd and the new characters they added just fit perfectly with the rest of the idiots lol.
Saiki is still the goat but seeing him deal with even more chaos in this season was just gold. Its so fast paced that u never get bored for a second. Its rare for a comedy to stay this good in the second season but they nailed it. If u want to just turn off ur brain and have a good time this is the best choice honestly. i still go back and watch random episodes whenever im feeling down. easy 9/10 for me, maybe even higher.

This season is exceptional, rivaling the brilliance of the first. It introduces several compelling new characters, such as Aiura, Akechi, and Saiko, who bring fresh energy and depth to the story. The scenarios and themes explored in these episodes surpass those of the first season, offering a richer and more engaging experience. The story arcs are particularly captivating, with one standout being the unforgettable stranded island arc, which is both thrilling and highly memorable.
If you enjoyed the first season, I can confidently say you'll love the second even more. The anime not only excels at refining what it already did well but also enriches the narrative by adding new layers of complexity and excitement. It’s a masterful continuation that elevates the series to new heights.

The second season of Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan sticks to its guns, delivering more of the same zany antics and expanding its already vast ensemble cast. Fans will find the humor familiar, with jokes that riff on both the events of the first season and broader Japanese and anime culture.
Visually, it's business as usual, with the animation retaining its signature style, limitations and all. However, there's a subtle shift in pacing. Rather than quick-fire gags, many jokes now sprawl across multiple episodes, demanding a bit more patience from viewers. While this approach allows for deeper comedic exploration, it can also make the series feel a tad sluggish at times, especially if a particular gag isn't your cup of tea.
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan 2 maintains the essence of its predecessor, injecting…

This wont be a long one
This one actually adds a story! No spoilers but it is a very very very loosely threaded story. Not much there
it is back to the same slapstick comedy each episode with no story progression
I loved it. it was amazing. just like nichijou or azumanga daioh.
the op is okay the music in the background is okay maybe 4/10 for music in this show and artstyle is the same
all in all amazing show if u liked nichijou or azumanga daioh. Saiki is a great character. Finished the specials and ONA's and will definitely miss Saiki
Final Score: 8/10 a bit better than first season so good watch!
Thanks!

Yare Yare, I have to do another Saiki K review? I guess I have no choice.
I love the fast paced nature of this show, and this season has managed to keep it up despite switching to full length episodes rather than 5 minute ones that are just grouped together on streaming sites. It would have been easy to take the show in a different direction with more long form story telling, but they still do these quick cut sequences that never linger too long in one place.
The show grows incredibly fond of the "We have a new transfer student today" device. It even pokes fun at itself for using it so much, but the steady stream of new wacky characters never seems forced and somehow they manage to juggle all their idiosyncrasies pretty well, mostly by preemptively Flanderizing them all down to a single…

Saiki K
Its an incredibly hilarious and silly comedy that is almost guaranteed to make you laugh.
This " review " is just me talking about what I like in Saiki k so if that doesnt interest you , feel free to stop reading.
If you haven't watched the show however , hopefully this gives you enough motivation to start it.
Characters
Saiki k is a show with an incredibly hilarious cast of characters , the foundation for a good comedy.
Each character except Saiki is a troupe that is taken to their incredibly illogical extreme .
Nendou is so dumb that saiki cannot read his mind.
And Hairo is so passionate that he literally creates heat and fire.
This makes for incredibly dramatic but never exaggerated character interaction.
( well they are exaggerated in a way but never forced )
This cast of cha…

The moment I started watching the 1st episode I knew it was going to be awesome. And I wasn't disappointed. It has a very hilarious way of showing the life of overpowered characters. I really wish that they make another season to wrap it all up.
But the specials also complete the story in a way.
The character development of the main character was also well planned and the character design of side characters were taken to extremes which made it more hilarious.
It's definitely one of the anime I'd like to erase from my memory and watch again and again...

no i did not just cry because of a comedy anime.
ok maybe i did but that is none of your business anyway this show is great and you should watch it right now.
( i have also made a similar review for the first season of this show, this is technically an updated blog but with more knowledge on my part )
it is similar to one punch because of the comedy, but it really capitalizes on that aspect here.
Story: 7/10
Ok so obviously this is not a story based anime, it is a comedy, so the story isn't going to be the greatest aspect, but considering i AM the one that just cried and somehow became invested in this story and the characters, i guess i'm not the one that should be judging the story. It is comprised of skits that show "the disastrous life of saiki k"

I gotta hand it to this anime! I first came upon the manga by sheer random chance about a year ago. I was bored at the time, and wanted something new, didn't expect much, just thought it was gonna be yet another average series, but boy weren't I in for a big surprise! I had only read a few chapters and I knew I had to see this animated! The plot is simple enough, jokes are funny (even when repeated a hundred times), and many of the recurring gags have me shaking with laughter whenever I just happen to remember them. For example, every time I remember Nendou's voice (which is a perfect performance by the seiyuu btw) asking his "aibo (pal)" Saiki to go get Ramen for the 100 psychicillionth time, it genuinely cracks me up!
The series also takes the anime trope where we get to see characters'…

Saiki K is such a great anime. Season 2 came out on Netflix the day after I started watching Season 1, so I was super stoked for that. Anyways, if you enjoy slice of life comedy animes, then this is the one for you.
This anime is an example of overpowered characters done right. Saiki is basically an all powerful psychic, who is able to do pretty much everything, but he just wants his classmates to leave him alone and be normal. This makes for some super funny scenes. I found myself greatly enjoying every single episode of this series. The best thing about this anime is that it isn't meant to be taken seriously, but is instead a parody. I love how it makes basic anime tropes like brightly colored hair being normal, even in Japan, how injuries heal immediately, and how when clothes get blow…

This is a short review of the whole series and my first ever review at the same time.
2018 really graced us with so many good comedies! Humor is very subjective but as far as the gag comedy anime series go this one is one of the best. What I love the most about this show are its characters. First season had a great cast and some new characters are added in the second season. Every one of them is unique and funny in their own weird way. (My favorites are Saiki himself and Teruhashi). The show is also full of great recurring characters, well executed gags and constant 4th wall breaking.
The show's weak spot, as with many comedy anime, is it's story. It is kinda episodic, with some overarching plots, but the show is just so full of heart that even the slower parts are just as enjoyable as t…

This is largely the same deal as the first season. Meaning gag comedy, with multiple short episodes crammed into one anime episodes.
Summary:
Story 6/10
Art: 5/10
Sound: 6/10
Character: 6/10
Enjoyment: 6/10
Overall: 6/10. Compared to first episode one thing that I noticed is that intro and outro music became better, however, I felt like the show become slightly weaker compared to the 1st season, and I felt like animation quality dropped slightly.
Meaning 6/10 instad 7/10 total this time aropund. One of the reasons for that is probably the fact that they introduced huge number of characters, and because now there are "multi-episode" mini arcs. Those lack the pace of short stories of the first season and as a result felt less entertaining to me.
In general:
The story is a gag comedy, and…

When I saw the cover photo of Saik K on Netflix, I thought “what the hell is this…”
There was some ridiculous pink-haired boy with freaky horn-like antennas sticking of his head. So naturally, I overlooked it, and ended up watching something else at the time. A few months later, a friend recommended “Sakamoto” as something light-hearted and funny to watch. I loved it - it was a show that didn’t take itself too seriously, but still clearly put some thought into its comedy sketches. Then, when that same friend recommended Saik K, I had to take his advice and watch an episode. I was hooked immediately.
The premise of show lend it the ability to be a most masterful comedy. Saiki Kusou has ridiculous physic capabilities (telepathy, teleportation, insane strength, …. the list is practically…

If you enjoyed the last season, you'll love this one as well. If you're new to the series, definitely start with season one. c:
Episode setup:
Each episode consists of approximately 3-5 *disjoint* short skits. This is a comedy anime, so there is less of a focus on the story, art, and sound, while the jokes can be like gold. With how short and disjoint the skits are, it's honestly impressive that there is even a story. lol
Enjoyment: 10
Humor can be pretty subjective - I personally find the humor in this show beautiful. For reference, other comedies I like include Cromartie High School, Sket Dance, Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge, and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. **Of these, I find Cromartie High School the most similar in humor.

It is rare that I find a show that I love so dearly. It is even more rare that a sequel of it comes out. Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan 2 is that sequel. This show is about a psychic high school age boy named Saiki Kusuo. Saiki has various powers, including teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, x-ray vision, and a plethora more without even scratching the surface of his powers. Even with having all these powers, Saiki only wants a normal life. But, the various characters around him lets him find himself in situations where his normal life would be in jeopardy.
This is easily one of the most underrated anime in the west. Imagine Mob Psycho 100, but all of the drama and story has been cut, and it's a gag anime. Saiki K is a slice of life, shounen anime, with the manga being published in…

Just another average day for Kusuo Saiki...
Ok, so the second season of Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan 2 and this second season was kept to the 24 minute structure and clumping the skits together, which was how LA didn't watch it from the first season's 3 minute 120 episode structure but nonetheless LA adapted to it and well, let's just say the experience in watching the 24 minute structure was like a verbal speeding train of quick witted dialogue, comedic timing and unpredictability just like the first season...so another words same old Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan but in chunks of funny.
LA have soo much to unpack Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan 2 so let's start off with the new characters, for starters how about Mikoto Aiura voiced by Eri Kitamura, a fortune teller that figures out Siaki's secret of being a psych…

First of all, in my opinion this anime generally is not for people who just recently started watching anime (as a whole), because it has some parodies to other anime and it requires fast reading the sub (or pausing it for lots of time to read the subtitle). So if you're ok with that, give it a go! This is also a gag anime so it shouldn't be taken seriously. And it loves breaking the 4th wall just like Gintama (but i think Gintama does it more frequently)
Btw, this is my first ever review in MAL and I'm not that good of making reviews. Basically, this is a sequal to the first season of Saiki Kusuo, but with added characters and more character developement (as what I see). So if you want a full review of this anime, check out the first seasons' reviews.

*Minimum Spoiler Ψ-nan Review*
If you did not watch S1 then go watch it ASAP or don't.
TL;DR: Having psychic power was never easy but laughing at the misfortune of Saiki is definitely GGEZ.
Bigger cast, more budget, same humour but now more fan service... For guys & girls. Don't think just watch.

"It's true there are no anger or sadness, but that also means no joy or fun. That's my life." - Saiki Kusuo
What do you get if you throw in the humour style of OPM, MP 100 and Sakamoto Desu Ka in a pot then simmer it with the same recipe Gintama used to gain popularity in the comedy genre arena of anime? You get Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan Part 2 of course. There was no doubt this anime short was a success in their inaugural fir…

Saiki's adventures continue for 24 more episodes, and they are somehow even better than before. I will keep this review short since I already have one posted here for the first season discussing the strengths of the series, which definitely stay relevant in this sequel.
This second season adds more spice to the comedy with the introduction of new characters, that as expected from the series are really fun to watch, likeable, and lead to new character interactions that never fail to make the viewer laugh, this can easily be seen in shorts where Saiki is mostly just hiding around and one still loses it by seeing the others be the way they are.
The art took an upgrade that makes the series better looking, and it's used nicely with some priceless reaction faces from the characters and is ove…

I saw One Punch Man trice and bought the bluray. I saw Mob Psycho 100, not 100 times, but twice. While I love both of these shows, I love Saiki more. When I heard it would be getting season 02 before either of these two shows (which are -according to sales and popularity rankings- 5 to 20 times more successful than Saiki), I naturally started pinching myself to wake up from this beautiful, yet unreal dream. When this didn't happen, I had to assume they have started to celebrate April's Fools twice a year. I headed to my closest Reddit where people have the habit of repeating everything they hear and read as facts, but didn't see anyone mention April's Fools. This gave me no other option but to believe there lives a "Saiki" inside our very own universe, something has gone terribly wrong wit…
