15 [Similar Anime] Like The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

The protagonists of these series have overpowered psychic abilities, so much that no one stand a chance against them. They actually have to restrain themselves so that no one else gets hurt. A big difference is that, in case of Mob Psycho, Shigeo is portrayed as a character who is as simple as he can be, so everyone at first glance won't pay any attention to him. On the other hand, Saiki from Saiki Kusuo tries his best to avoid any type of attention, and realizes no matter what he does he is going to be at the center of every little and big events around him.

If you enjoyed the comedic side of Mob Psycho, you'll definitely like Saiki Kusuo, a much less serious gag comedy focused around its similarly overpowered protagonist. While Mob is a bit out of it, Saiki is relentlessly cynical and sarcastic, giving the show a more intense, hilarious vibe compared to MP100. Don't expect touching plot or drama from Saiki K, but it's a great watch anyways. Likewise, if you enjoyed Saiki K but wish it was a tad more serious/dramatic, MP100 is wonderful. Both are great, highly recommend.

The protagonists have a lot in common: both are lazy but powerful, compelling, have a sweet tooth, and are absolute sadists (who doesn't love sadists :D). The characters are all unique and lovable and their traits are what make the silly gags/jokes so great and hilarious. The humor is pretty alike (though Gintama has more, well, "unsuitable for children" jokes) and will for sure make you cry with laughter at times :) If you liked the humor in Gintama, you'll most probably like Saiki Kusuo.

Both shows are comedies feature an OP main character for whom having powers is more of a disadvantage than a good thing. A big part of each show is the wacky group of supporting characters that appear over the show. However, Saiki K is more episodic and slice of life, while OPM has an overarching plot, but for me the jokes in Saiki K are much funnier.

Saiki and sakamoto deal with the same sort of situations with a similar attitude, just with completely different methods. If we could hear sakamoto's thoughts like we can saiki, they would probably be very similar. I wouldnt be surprised if sakamoto was a psychic as well lol.

These anime are similar in so many ways.

Both of these anime are completely comedy based with little to no actual story building. The comedy in both of these series are hilarious as well. They are both episodic anime where the episodes don't relate to one another and each episode has multiple little stories in it . Also in both animes many characters are introduced that are minor characters but they still make appearances in future episodes.

Same absurd humour, same kind of silly crazy frenzy taken to a whole other level, where every over-the-top idea is just getting crazier and crazier. Saiki Kusuo is much more fast paced though, and there is a somewhat real plot - at least, a final goal and some character development.

The obvious comparison between these shows is the main characters... Both psychics with similar personalities (bar their intelligence) being forced into similar wacky situations.

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan and Aho Girl are some of the best comedy anime, although the main characters Saiki Kusuo and Yoshiko Hanabatake are kind of the opposite when it comes to intelligence, the narrative of the plot flows through a similar way, it follows a variety of amusing situations and development of side characters along with the main without having a single linear continuity. The overall environment throughout all the episodes is very pleasuring which makes these two series really enjoyable.

Both feature an overpowered potagonist and his daily life

In a certain sense, Saiki can be considered as the "male" version of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, since while Nozaki parodies the shoujo's tropes, setting and characters, Saiki does the same, only with works for the shonen audience. The only difference is that Nozaki is strongly focused on romance and sometimes are sentimental, while Saiki always remains a gag comedy with an unceasing parody and humor.

Both are comedies that are actually enjoyable and are not filled with second-hand embarrassment. The focus is more on the characters than on a relevant plot. Although not on the same level as Asobi Asobase, Sakiki does have its fair share of screaming and hilarious faces to go along with the anime. In general, their plots aren't alike but they have the same vibe.

Both centered around school with similar humor style.

High-school comedies, quite parodic, with "alien" characters.
Psi seems to have Cromartie references, such as Nindou and the guy twitching his hair...
So far, I prefer Cromartie. It's definitely more manly too.

Both have a quirky cast of characters who get into hilarious scenarios (outrageous things like fighting off delinquents using gamer alter egos + running from made-up evil cults). They're both comedic slice of life shows that feature a main character who just wants to fly under the radar. Only difference is Saiki K actually has a fantasy element. All the characters are lovable though!
