The 23rd issue of Weekly Shounen Jump of 2016, which will be released on May 9, has revealed that Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan will be receiving a TV anime adaptation set to premiere in July 2016. Some the anime's cast and staff members were also announced.

Staff
Director: Hiroaki Sakurai (Kaichou wa Maid-sama!)
Series Composition: Michiko Yokote (Gintama)
Character Design: Masayuki Onji (Aria The Avvenire)
Studio: J.C.Staff, Egg Firm

Cast
Kusuo Saiki: Hiroshi Kamiya (Shingeki no Kyojin)
Kuniharu Saiki: Mitsuo Iwata (Sakamoto desu ga?)
Kurumi Saiki: Rikako Aikawa (Nichijou)
Shun Kaidou: Nobunaga Shimazaki (Kiznaiver)
Riki Nendou: Daisuke Ono (Dimension W)

Synopsis
Saiki Kusuo has a wide array of superpowers at his command, including telepathy and telekinesis. This might sound awesome, but, in Kusuo's experience, superpowers are not all they're cracked up to be. He tries to live a normal life, despite his annoying abilities.

The series is drawn by Shuichi Asou and began publishing in May 2012. It previously received a flash anime adaptation in August 2013 and will also receive a live-action movie adaptation.

Cool. Is this Japanese X-Men?
Maybe I'll watch this.
But I'll read the manga first.

EDIT:

Wait, Is that a ball sack?
Then I won't watch it.
That's not even funny!

Finally! I've been waiting so much for this...
It really sounds like my type of series, but the manga scas are pretty slow so I've just been waiting for an adaptation xD

And another on my ptr gets an adaptation.

Been somewhat curious about it for a few years now, but was put off by the apparently slow scans.

Fuck yesss!!!

Finally a decent Gag Manga that I wanted for adaptation...

Hope JC Staff can handle this well, 'cause they're really busy in Summer.

Kamiyan as Kusuo is alright, it will be hilarious.

Can't wait for Summer!!!

Why the fuck not, I'll give it a try. It looks somewhat interesting.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Awesome news. Very solid staff and Hiroshi Kamiya as the protagonist, who is one of my favourite VAs. Looking forward to this.

ABOUT TIME! I haven't actually read the manga but it's fairly old for a successful WSJ manga that never got an anime. And now. it has come. finally. Kamiya and J.C. Staff, this will be great.

Pretty excited about the news, though I was really hoping for Takamatsu would be the director. Can't complain though since it finally hapened. I hope the anime will make it popular enough to make the scanlations be a bit faster.

Really interested about this one, glad it got a proper anime adaptation, I've been hearing from the people who read the manga that it has some really good comedy, like Gintama level comedy.

I'll have to check it out.

JC Staff is truly becoming one of those great consistent studios FOR ME. Might replace them with Madhouse for a studio binge this summer.

I've only read one or two chapters of the manga and I've watched the trash ONA that they did. But I really want to watch the anime. And more hype if Kamiya is the main seiyuu. :D

as soon as I hear the words 'Shounen Jump' my interest ends. It sound very generic but JC Staff are a good studio so It might be decent but im getting tired of Shounen shows in general.

The manga cover seems very familiar; I've probably seen this manga somewhere, but didn't get around of it. Will watch the anime, that's for sure.

just started reading this yesterday, up to chapter 5. this is awesome!

P.S. before the comparisons of sakamoto begin, remember that he actually has superpowers and sakamoto doesn't so it doesn't count to compare :3
