Review of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
I've watched this series in 2016 and re-watch it again in 2017. To anyone who are fans of good-quality comedy genre or super busy with their life but still want to enjoy some short good stress-relief, this anime is for you (as one episode lasts for 5 minutes) . As for my rating: Story: 10 The reasons I give such an outstanding score is because this anime is not like your usual comedy anime. The comedy material are fresh every single episodes and none of them are reused to the point where you can just guess what this character will do comically. It gives youthis feeling of mind-blown of "how come this author could make such comedic scene like this". Furthermore, the story really captures the essence of the character and the comedic pace are not mundane. Is it re-watchable? Definitely yes!
Art: 7
The art itself doesn't look like it could attract many people to watch the anime due to the use of its generalized anime style. However, I could say each scene in this anime are vivid because not all character just sit still and watch another character doing something (ex: when Saiki speaks, you could see in the background Nendou and his friends are doing something silly, etc). This scene direction totally makes the viewer really engaged to the anime.
Sound: 7
If you seek for a memorable ost in this anime then there's none. HOWEVER, the way that the sound effect or the background music interacts with a certain scene being played is really spot on. (ex: certain character shocked, there's this TA-DAAH sfx that could portrayed the same shocks that the character feels).
Character: 10
Do they look unique? Yes, heck even absurd. What about their personality? It totally suits their looks, bizarre and unique. (Ex: Kokomi looks like those popular and kind bishoujo girl. You think that she acts like she's really nice to people, much like the bishoujo archetype. However, she's a stuck-up narcissist who thinks that the world revolves around her.) This characteristic though, really gives the series a comedic punch right through the audience and makes them laugh at how stupid some character acts.
Enjoyment: 9
It's a good series, I dare you. You wouldn't even take your eyes off the screen because of how hilarious the character is and how unpredictable their action is; making you question what will happened next? The comedy itself could instantly make your day better! (I'm not exaggerating though)
Overall: 9
Is it recommended to watch? Hell yeah! Get ready to feel the roller coaster of comedic fun!
