Synopsis — from MyAnimeList
Anime adaptation of the Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan manga by Asou Shuichi, telling the story about a male high school student named Kusuo Saiki. He possesses supernatural powers that cause unfortunate events in his everyday life.
Audience Consensus
Audience opinion is largely split, with a strong consensus that the humor and premise are excellent, but the animation and production quality are abysmal. Many viewers acknowledge the comedic potential and character capture but find the technical aspects detrimental, often recommending the later 2016 adaptation as a superior experience.
Strengths
- The humor is effective and captures the essence of the work, with genuinely funny moments.
- The voice acting, particularly for Nendou, is praised for being hilarious and contributing to the comedy.
- The story premise is refreshing and engaging, focusing on a boy with supernatural abilities wanting a normal life.
- The characters are captured almost perfectly, and the comedic moments are well-executed.
Weaknesses
- The art and animation are consistently criticized as terrible, primitive, crude, and among the worst seen.
- The pacing feels odd and rushed, sacrificing in-depth character development and joke impact.
- The sound is hard to hear, and background music is not well-picked up.
- The content is not exclusive, as the 2016 anime adaptation covers the same material but does it better.
