Synopsis
Psychic teen Saiki struggles to live normally while hiding his powers from friends and family.
Kusuo Saiki is a high school student who possesses a wide range of psychic abilities. While many may believe these abilities to be a gift, to Kusuo, they are a curse as he must fight strange odds in order to try to live a normal life. Forced to use his psychic powers to protect his secret or to make up for his father's incompetence at work, will Saiki eventually come to realize how his powers can actually help his friends and family?

- 8 “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)...”
- 7 “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...”
- 8 “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....”
