The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is a comedy/gag anime published in 2016, consisting of 24 episodes in total. Formalities aside, this isn't the kind of comedy anime you see every day.
Our main character, Saiki Kusuo, is a person with psychic abilities. But he does not like the presence of these abilities. Because of his desire to blend in with people, he uses his powers only for his own benefit, or shows it as if it is for his own benefit.
If you're looking for beautifully written characters and plot developments, this anime is not for you. There will be no development on most characters during all 24+24 episodes. But the things some characters do may change to keep the comedy fresh.

Story:
Our story is simple and can be explained in one paragraph. Since it's already a gag anime, there's no need to dwell on it.


Characters:
Our characters usually consist of a single trait. But because this trait is as exaggerated as possible, it creates a lot of nonsense. Nendou, for example, is a ramen addict and his only trait is that he's an idiot. But his stupidity is so exaggerated that he can make you laugh every time he is on the screen. For another example, Teruhashi is the most beautiful person in the world. This beauty is so exaggerated that the people lose all their brain cells and act stupidly. There are too many of these characters. That's why comedy never gets boring, no matter what happens on the screen. Speaking of comedy

Comedy:
Aaah, comedy. I can't tell you how many times this anime made me laugh out loud. Even though I watched it twice, I laughed out loud at 80% of the jokes. Every time I watch. I think it's because the voice actors deliver the dialogue very, very quickly, and the jokes are thrown in front of the audience, one after the other, without giving them a chance to think. But since comedy is subjective, I definitely recommend that you do not judge without watching it.

Overall:
Just watch the first 4-5 episodes, if its your speed then good luck.
And watch the subtitled version. Its infinitely superior in my humble opinion.
