The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is an extremely funny school/comedy program. It is one of few anime that will actually make you laugh in every episode and its plot is great. The main character, Saiki Kusuo, is a psychic who wants to be normal not stand out. Despite this, he finds himself always being around the most famous and infamous people within his school and they are all exceptionally important to making this anime so great. Saiki is usually a lazy character who just wants to fit into society, and is mainly expressionless. However, whenever something big happens the scene will focus on his face of disgust or shock which adds effect to the comedy. The next character, Nendou Riki, is an idiot and also the only person that Saiki can't read the mind of. This creates some great scenes because Saiki doesn't know what he is going to do next unlike every other character. The next is Kaidou Shun. He refers to himself as 'The Jet Black Wings' and is a chuunibyou. He thinks that an organisation called 'The Dark Reunion' is behind everything and despite him trying to look cool by wearing bandages and contact lenses, he is the shortest and most cowardly person in the class. Finally, the last character I will talk about is Teruhashi Kokomi. She is easily identifiable by her dark blue hair and golden aura around her. Everyone in the world instantly becomes infatuated by her when they see her through the form of saying 'Oh'. The only person to have never taken any interest in her is Saiki so she is determined to make him say 'Oh'. She has powers that rivals Saiki's, in that she pretty much has instant access to slaves wherever she is to do whatever for her, such as in one episode where she calls over an army of men to find Saiki. There are many more characters, but those are the 4 main ones that most episodes are centred around. Episodes always have a problem that Saiki must fix, whether it is a time-loop, a natural disaster or simply visiting his tsundere grandpa's house. The episode is split into 4 5-minute parts on the TV version or one 5 minute short on the TV shorts version, this means the situation is always changing so it doesn't get boring and a variety of characters is used per episode who all form a great dynamic together.
