Believe it or not, Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan had the most polarizing effect on me to date, and considering it is of a mere 16 minutes, that is quite something.
Now this one is a pretty odd stand-alone episode. The viewer is greeted with the most basics of animation. At first, I thought out to myself "What the hell? This has drawings worse than that of the two eternal classics, Mars of Destruction and Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven." The episode starts off with an angsty looking teen whose name is Shun Kaidou who seems like your average shounen MC. His talks are so cryptic as well as he calls himself the "Black Wing", a special boy with supernatural powers whose identity is hidden in order to keep of the "Dark Union", a mysterious organization pursuing to get hold of the powers inside of the boy to create a new order in this world-- blah blah blah and what-not. Sounds pretty dumb, right? Well, yes but not so quick...

"Don't worry, that's only a MSSYS (Middle School Second Year Syndrome)." says the guy with ACTUAL supernatural powers. Honestly, that one scene cracked me up so much that I caught myself saying "Wait, this is actually... funny" *LOL*. It wasn't so dramatic that I laughed my pants off or something I would remember for days to come, but the sheer unexpectancy of it made me giggle quite a bit. Saiki Kusuo is a guy who actually has powers such as telepathy and uses it to read the minds of people. The other guy, uh... what was his name again? Shun, yes. No, he's just a very insignificant side character who has the MSSYS and thinks himself as someone special, and his classmates make fun of him for this too. Coming back to the actual cool MC again, yes, but there's a small catch. He can read anyone's minds within 200 metres, but there's one guy, his classmate Nendou, that he just cannot seem to know what he's thinking of. Now this isn't some type of rivalry brewing, but its just because that Nendou who is a punk, is actually a dense idiot.

There are constant scenes of humor and jokes thrown in between the 16 minute episode, which might not be groundbreaking in comedy, is actually pretty fun.

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan is a heavily voice actor driven show. Since the art is so basic and with a very few characters to play around with for a mere 16 minutes, the voice actors have the task to do the dialogues and mix the humor in properly and it works.

I only checked this video which I found on Youtube because of the anime adaptation due this Summer. I am totally oblivious to the manga so I had no idea what this stand-alone ONA video was about. This was a funny experience and I suddenly got a liking to the MC so I'm highly anticipating the anime to come out. I know that the art will be much better and I also hope the humor will be too.

After seeing that there was a new comedy anime out for this Summer that was getting pretty good reviews, I tried it and instantly loved it. Sadly, that anime was not this anime. What I watched was Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan (TV), the new series based off of the same manga, but done much, much, much differently than this.

Story: I honestly love the story. That's probably the best part of this adaptation. It's about a boy with supernatural abilities who just wants to live a normal life, a boy who wants to save the world from some mysterious organization and thinks he has super powers read more
