Review of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

It brings me a lot of joy to see this type of anime being so well received by the anime community. Having not known about it until seeing that its second season was beating out My Hero Academia in the rankings, I decided to check it out. This is like a nice mix between Mob Pshyco and Handa-Kun, as the main character is an overpowered physic who is purposely trying to distance himself from people so he can live a quiet life. But of course, as the slice of life-esc comedy kicks in, anything but that will happen. It has a huge array of characters,that by themselves are all pretty generic characters, but when they mix together ends up creating something really unique, with our main character having to be damage control for everything that they do, as he likes to let them get into bad situations without them realizing it and saving them at the last second without them realizing anything bad was even going to happen.
Saiki is different from what the classic definition of a Psychic is, given this anime takes that as "person that can do basically whatever they want with some minor side effects". The anime also has great moments where Saiki is just so powerful that his target is the genre of "Slice of life" anime itself, where he actually goes out of his way to bend his world around the classics of the slice of life genre so that he doesn't stand out as much.
Also, its enjoyable that every character has their own short theme, and it will play almost every time they do something dramatic, causing scenes where two characters are doing something and their themes just keep on repeating every time the screen focuses back on them, which would seem like it gets boring but because of the dual lives almost every character is trying to live, it simply builds on how the character is feeling at the moment.
But I also have to appreciate that this anime doesn't try to go too far with the meta commentary on Slice of Life anime as a whole, preferring to simply use the standard rules to create a nice balanced world.
My only issue is that there is simply to many characters that don't get all that much time in the spotlight, to the point of where the final episode goes out of its way to joke about that exact thing.
But overall, its very enjoyable. I knew from starting the first episode I was going to enjoy it and ended watching the whole thing in one night (The series says its 120 episodes, but that's because the original release was 5 minute episodes, which was condensed down into a nice 24 episode series)

So yeah, overall, its about 8 coffee puddings out of 10, I'm looking forward to how far he will go to get the last two.
