Whoa, I was not expecting this episode to have baseball gimmicks.

The episode had its over the top comedy as usual. Some of the baseball plays were noticable too in particular Nendou. Not sure how I feel about the second half of the episode but that Chisato girl is someone not to be underestimated.

I like the Baseball parts.. It was like watching an anime crossover lol
Haha nice Kochikame cameo.. Damn, Saiki's dad has learned that trick since 15 years ago xD Kuusuke is as sadistic as ever.
Sorry Mera, but I still can't trust you lol

i am pretty sure the steak restaurant part is parody of Prince of Tennis "yakiniku battle" episode 20 of the OVA National Tournament arc... http://princeoftennis.wikia.com/wiki/Yakiniku_Battle!

Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^
U will love it, i promise...

I had to take a break after the third short because I couldn't even breath of how much I was laughing, parodying the cliches was absolutely hilarious, it's just too real after having watched sports anime.

I watched Kochikame as a kid on TV so seeing a part focused on it made me smile (and laugh a lot, ofc), it really felt like something you would expect from that work.

100/10 episode, man, how much better can this anime get?

If you have nothing to eat for you and your family, you should literally not be allowed by law to think about anything else before you solve that.

Baseball blues this week, or should I say cliches? Saiki certainly seemed determined to see that they played out. The last story with Mera was a bit too tragic for me to find funny really though oddly enough. Massive crippling poverty ain't no joke. I guess it's nice Saiki helped her in the end but I dunno. And of course the most tragic thing of all: the end of Kochikame! XD

the baseball episodes are funny. I just can't say about mera's birthday episode. sometimes I get the feeling that she is a very annoying character tbh. maybe the only character that i don't like in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

What if?

Whilst the other 3 skits wasn't that great, I died with the baseball cliches. I just saw Major and Cross Game recently so it was even more funnier on me XD

I liked the cliched baseball segment, it was really hectic and fast-paced though and went on a bit long. The other two stories were really silly, but I liked them! It's always nice to see Mera.

The first few shorts were pretty much a sports anime in a nutshell, just because I have a thing for sports animes I loved those shorts and how "cliche" they were, which was the best part.
Although Mera has some dislikeable aspects, her being thoughtful of her sibling is admirable

Okay, the baseball rather the sports anime parodies were just pure gold. Saiki and me have similar reasons for enjoying sports anime but the parodies here were hilarious. XD

That shoe licking business though. xDD

Sheesh, talk about "cliche" episode and yet... It's hilarious and Saiki is fully stick with it. Nice job, Saiki.
And about that "shoe-licker" (plus Mera's birthday), somehow it feels "right" to end it... with some Karma.

the baseball cliches were absolutely hilarious, i loved those skits. shoe licking part was pretty boring, mera part was ok.

i like mera, i really do, but her whole shtick of being poor and liking food and being the oldest sister is kinda boring at this point. i know in saiki k they're kinda defined by their gags, but all of the other primary cast members work around + with each other with their quirks, making each stupid scenario, with each unique blend of characters, feel if not fresh then at least entertaining. so i guess mera feels weird in that her personality doesnt rlly mesh with the others or accommodation them, so it makes all her scenes feel incredibly boring? like, each cast member has a way they play off the others, but mera doesn't. her presence in the show makes her feel like a semi-primary cast member, maybe aren level importance, but her writing makes her feel like a one note side character. it's a real shame. i blame it on poor writing, and hopefully she gets semi-decent characterization and actually funny skits someday. the girl deserves it ;-;

Not a too huge fan when it is focused on sports or baseball in particular, but the other parts where pretty fun.

1.The classic baseball match is here, if they lose the club is disbanded! Lol, Kaidou didn't even reach the field.
2.Saiki couldn't miss on the fun, his throwing form could use some practice though.
3.Nendou won the game on his own.
4.Kochikame ended, will we ever see all the episodes subbed? Yeah dad, you can only lick shoes, you're the god of licking shoes.
5.I wouldn't give Mera anything, why should I care about her stupid family?

I felt bad for Mera, poor girl... (Even though she is TOO greedy)

This episode was a bunch of clichés. Nothing special. Especially the baseball part was boring as hell.

I like it how Saiki loves stalking that ordinary guy.

All in all, this ep sucked.

I don't think that was cliche in real life
Sport manga, maybe.. since there are some without "super power" like Slam Dunk xD

As someone who's watched a lot of sports anime in the past, I could not stop laughing as Saiki went through all of the cliches. Of course they ended up at the restaurant to celebrate, of course there's a cliche stoic character! It was very funny to watch.

Saiki's obsession with Satou is also hilarious.

Also the art of Shoe-licking, clearly no one knows it better than Papa Saiki.
