As an OVA, it's really good. We get a few focused stories on some of the lesser seen characters, all of which I'm guessing were cut from the original anime run. Having them all back-to-back is way better than the few and far between stories of the main series.
But as a finale. It kinda sucks. There's 5 episodes that have nothing to do with the original finale, then one episode that adapts the final chapter of the manga. It's a good adaptation, but there's not much to adapt since the manga already had such a boring ending. If there was ever a time to break from the manga, it would've been now. But as it stands, it's not a great ending, but still the best way to watch it.

Pretty unnecessary season with 5 episodes being filler and anachronistic. 6th Episode is all that's relevant, but also kind of unneeded.
Felt like usual low effort Netflix work. More of an epilogue season like Pokemon Mezase. To be more specific, its essentially like six totally different OVAs broadcasted as a season.
Season 2 had a well done ending, keeping things vague. There was no reason to explore it further, that too for a basic 15mins reason as shown in episode 6. Rest all the the episode/shorts were predictable and formulaic, well too much to make it entertaining after the long experience.
Most of the recurring characters were barely existent, not more than 10mins. Worse yet another transfer student with a quirk was added amidst all things. It was not suited for an epilogue of a…

This is, basically, Saiki K.'s Slip Arc, and it's just as you'd expect it to be--that is to say: funny and typical Saiki K. Because these are just random, unadapted chapters, I didn't feel as excited about them as a follow-up to the previous two installments in this series. Of course, that's to be expected since the story all but ended before this aired (besides the final episode, of course, which is the true sequel to the previous installment).
Was Reawakened as consistently funny as previous seasons? Yes. Where I feel like these episodes did well was the fact that we got to see more of certain characters than what is typical for the anime adaptation of Saiki K. Having characters like Mikoto on screen more often was nice because I felt like she, for instance, hadn't been used all that mu…

Most of this is just new interesting episodes with new characters. But they also revise the ending with one that is better in my opinion. That's pretty much all there is to say about this one lmao. It's a must watch if you liked the previous Saiki K. material.
The new characters are cool. It's nice to see some fresh blood after getting to know the other characters so well. Great stuff. It's an extra taste of a show you most likely love if you've watched it to this point.
I think it's a Netflix original thingy, I saw this advertisement expressing that's the place it will be shown. Maybe they just bought the rights to premier it exclusively, not own it if that makes sense.
You should watch this, but of course see the previous seasons first if you haven't. It's an 8/10.

I don’t know how it’s possible but netflix somehow ruined a show I really liked.
the animation felt so different. The episodes felt rushed and the characters felt not as likeable. I was very excited when I saw netflix was doing a remake but they made the show feel less like a comedy and i don’t know tried to make it a slice of life somewhat. This actually could’ve worked as i was already very attached to the characters from the previous show but the short season with 3 new characters felt rushed.
I’m not sure if the animators are different or netflix isn’t sticking to the manga but the show feels different and not in a enjoyable way.

I watched the original Saiki K. directly prior to watching this. According to MAL there was also a 24 ep season that I couldn't find, plus another one-off episode that I also couldn't find that aired between this and the original, so the transition between the two was a little jarring. To be blunt, I wasn't a huge fan of the original Saiki K.; for me it was very hit or miss as whether or not an episode was funny. There were a few that had me laughing the majority of the episode, but there were also quite a few were I sat staring straight-faced at the screen for the entire episode. This season was more of the latter; quite genuinely, I believed I laughed twice during these 6 episodes, and in both instances I would have to honestly say that said "laugh" was more of a light snicker than an ac…

This is only for this season of Saiki K!
I LOVE the original three seasons. I rated them 9/10's. However, this one was not the same for several reasons. The first being that the entire english cast is different from the original. Second the episodes were not as well written. Lastly there was only six episodes for the entire series. If we had at least twelve I think my scores would of increased. I was very excited for this to come back but it just wasn't the same. Very disappointed.
I will say that the new characters they introduced made the series watchable.

"Yareda, yareda, now LA is getting emotional. Saiki-kun has ended-"
Well Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan used clairvoyance and said NOPE!
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan: Ψ-shidou-hen is the "final chapter" of Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan (so far) but the bulk of this arc focuses on two new characters that were supposedly introduced in between Season 2 and Kanketsu-hen. Before that the first two episodes are the typical hijinks episodes with the rest of the cast doing their quick paced hijinks and all the running gags that entails, it's not until episode 3 the new characters are introduced that of Takumi Iguchi voiced by Kousuke Toriumi, a new teacher in Saiki's class, he however "looks" perverted and all the flaws that comes with that, but he's just nervous but his face can't express it, you can see w…

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan: Ψ-shidou-hen (2019)
Another outstanding addition to the series. Fun at every corner and keeps the pace of the show up all the way through.
As they came onto Netflix I immediately watched all 6 episodes with ease and loved them. Again I was sad when it was over.
The story has a few different directions during these and the final one really is hilarious. I would love to see more come forward and the show continue.
Saiki is a great character, always leading to funny situations and his friends are the icing on the cake. Kokomi is great with her reactions to everything. She is just a warm character although would be annoying in real life she is wonderful to experience here.
Absolutely watch these if you enjoy all the rest of it. If you haven't seen any of it I stron…

Saiki K. is back! Just by being Saiki K. and not failing I rated it high.
Story
There's not much story in Saiki K as it's... Saiki K. but it's still awesome. But these stories (except the last episode's) seemed a little lacking. It's cool though
Art
Amazing as usual. Check out everything else. Everything is still cool.
Sound
They had a nice between-episodes music, but they didn't have an opening song. The ending song was cool. The voice acting was 1000% as usual. I'd forgotten how Saiki spoke and how fast he spoke until I watched this, and Kamiya Hiroshi is awesome. The other voice actors were awesome too. Must rewatch.
Character
The stereotypical characters are back, but they're all awesome because this is a comedy/parody anime. They're all cliches which is what the point was. So 10/…

Despite being only a 6-episode season, the Saiki Kusuo series gave me a good, satisfying ending. The main character Saiki finally decides what does he want to do with his life (being normal or not) and within that final decision, the show gains an epic climax.
The comedy is fresh as always with the bad luck, ghosts and psychic powers giving me a good laugh, and the art quality remains with the vivid colors and the constant scenario changes.
The characters (which I can identify with friends of mine in real life) and the sound remained well as the other seasons.
In general, the season is an 8, like the series has always been. Thank you JC Staff for this experience.

overall really had a blast with this amazing Anime and really hope this isn't the end of it because i really want to see more seasons a…

This is a masterpiece.
I was not statisfied with the end of Saiki K. 3rd season, but this season is making the Anime complete.
Funny scenes, a new character (that I HARDLY ship with Satou!) and finally Saiki admitting that Teruhashi is beautiful (besides her personality lol). I like that there were episodes that did not continue with the end of the 3rd season, because that made me feel like the seasons before this one had more episodes that we can watch and laugh with :).
The end is the best that could happen to the Anime and i am fully statisfied. But still i wish for more seasons of the Anime. That means the only downside of this Anime is that it only had 6 Episodes.
Also I liked that this season was streamed on Netflix! It makes me happy that this way more people can see this masterpi…

Note: this is not a review of the entire series, but these 6 episodes only. You can find my opinion of the first season on the first season's series page.
Having reviewed the first season, I was glad when I coincidentally saw the new season released today on Netflix and binged all of it this morning. This Netflix release had me a bit confused at first since it doesn’t continue right where the second series ends. Instead, the story follows Saiki, once more, as he engages in his daily living with unexpected comedic events. I felt the comedic punchlines were not nearly as good as they were in the first two seasons.
For those unclear about the chronology of this series:
1. Season 1 & 2,
2. Shidou-hen episodes 1-5
3. Kenketsu Hen
4. Shidou-hen episode 6
Story/Comedy: 6/10
As much as I enjoy…

The Disastrous Life of Saiki Kusuo is simply a very fun parody/gag anime which also manages to have its own unique story and its own personal charm. This will be a review of the whole Saiki series with the main focus on this six episode midquel/sequel.
Saiki is just one of those anime where even though it just repeats itself a lot with the same gags, the speed of it all just makes the comedic moments work. I love the comedy. It is similar to Gintamas in where the characters just bash each other. It is like a family or a tight knit group of friends where you can make fun of someone but everyone knows that it is in a loving way and not just in a mean way. The other aspect of the humor relies on situational humor (like Saiki trying his hardest for in the end for everything to backfire). It i…
