The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. - Recommendations

spokaneatitsbest says...

Like One Punch Man, Saiki K is a very overpowered character who doesn't care too much about anything, and wants to just have a normal life  

Llamamoe says...

Both shows are an interesting spin on the "overpowered protagonist" premise, perhaps with Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan taking the better approach, since Saiki treats his powers way more casually, while striving to live a normal life, where OPM has a sizeable "big bad of the week" syndrome.

wassimfh11 says...

Both of these pieces of art were both satirical in their own ways. One-Punch Man is a well made satire about fighter animes while The disasrous life of Saiki K. is also a satirical piece about slice of life highschool animes. If you liked one you will definetly like the other

GrandfatherClock says...

theyre both parody shows with ridiculously op main characters who get kinda bored of their powers. One punch man is more actiony and saiki is more of a school life show, but in general if you liked one you will like the other

dcarbo says...

there is alot of side charaters and they both have OP powers but at the end of they day they just want to eat the thing they love most 

KaiiKusumaki says...

I'm a bit tired so I'll keep it short-

Saiki and Saitama are both super powerful and only a few people know how powerful they are. Even though they are described as OP, both the animes focus more on comedy. Ofcourse, they're also both funny.

JarbonCarbon says...

Both feature an overpowered main character. The difference in the shows is the way they differ in using their abilities and that difference can be entertaining. They are also both extremely funny and if you liked Saiki's comedy your sure to enjoy One Punch Man's

ShiranaiSan says...

Punch Man and Saiki are similar as to they feature a very strong main character. But just like in the both of them, the lead is just trying to live a very ordinary life. Saiki doesn't have the action of Punch Man, but contains a lot of very funny jokes in the same nature of the series. While Punch Man is outstanding in both jokes and it's action sequences.

FriendlyDemon says...

Does great power come with great responsibility? Watch both anime to see how the main characters deal with their OP powers and how they're just trying to live an ordinary life.

SuwaDeservedBetter says...

They both include hilariously op-ed protagonists. The comedy of both shows is extremely dry. 

d1abolical says...

One Punch Man and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K are very similar. They both feature an overpowered main character and are both parody/satire anime. The humor in both shows is very similar, especially in their take on overpowered characters and anime in general. They're both incredibly fun and hilarious to watch. If you like one, you'll likely enjoy the other. 

DarwinsGame says...

Both main characters are generally disinterested but extremely powerful, leading to all sorts of drama and ridiculous predicaments. 

WackyBats says...

I Think that if you like One Punch Man you would be entertained by Disastrous Life of Saiki too. They are both focused on a way too over powered main charater who find themselves in difficult situations. Though Saiki might be found at a highschool setting and One punch man fighting crime on the street, I still found them simular because they were both goofy and entertaining. If you watch one of these you'll be in for a laugh!

Katfee says...

Both include overpowered characters who don’t see it as same great thing and just go through their daily lives 

Gray0 says...

The characters are very similar in way that you will be used to so it very enjoy able. The powers of the characters is also a factor that make it a good recommendation

biglittleorme says...

Both Anime's feature an evidently overpowered protagonist that is going through life with little to no passion. They have no hope of finding someone close to their level. Whilst One Punch tends to focus more on the amazing cinematography and well-drawn fight scenes S.K leans to the more comedic side of things that One Punch skims along with.

With both anime's the secondary characters are the bread and butter with both shows having wacky and interesting characters to put our main character into action.

feathertail38 says...

These are both comedy series poking fun at the usual tropes of the their respective genres, and I personally think they are both funny

Ashdeem says...

same energy jfeiwohfwrhgu;rwhguhwui;ighwrhgui;wrhgkjwi;ghjir;wghjkk;wrhguj;rwhgi;wrhjgkk;rwhjig;hwrjkghwrhguwwg

CrowsHeather says...

Similar to One Punch Man, Saiki is OP mc but doesn't focus on story. More of a comedy and different situations that he'd use his powers. If your not looking for something more involved like My Hero Academia, or makes you feel things like Hunter x Hunter, Saiki's your deal.

sweetSword says...

Both animes portray a super strong character who is bored of this bland world and nothing seems exciting to them. Both shows are of comedy genre but you'll find the comedy element more in The Disastrous life of Saiki K, and the action element more in One Punch Man. However One punch man follows a storyline, TDLSK is a kind of gag anime i.e, you can watch it anytime to refresh your mind.

MyHomeworkCanWait says...

Both series have similar comedy and character vibes. Both MC's of the series just don't give a shit about how OP they are. 😂 

Kaiten456 says...

Both follow the lives of over powered protagonists while one punch man mostly an action shounen, The disastrous life of Saiki K is more of a slice of life. Both are very light hearted in some scenes while one punch man does have some heavier scenes, which of course, is because it is an action shounen. I'd recommend both of these bidirectionally if you want to give them a watch

tyr says...

Both share the same dry flippant sense of humour with an overpowered protagonist just trying to get by in life.

mikhamar005 says...

Hosestly both are wholesome and amazing. Very instresting but also always wants people to watch even more from them.

Twukaj says...

Deadpan, over the top, op protagonist who just wants to get through the day, but surrounded by whack friends.

azarathmz1 says...

Really powerful guys who want to get through the day and sleep. A lot of comedy in between and saving the world. Both really worth watching. They may become your comfort anime. 

MoonDassy says...

Both animes have strong MCs and comedy that focuses around these MCs wanting to live their life normally.

complicatedfish says...

Both of the protaganists are over-powered. Both shows are also comedic. The protaganists also have a similar goal: world peace.

Rexrick says...

Both anime have a lot of dry, but good humor. If you enjoyed watching one of these pieces I would defenitely recommend u enjoy the other.

Jaxybobaxy says...

Both offer witty commentary on classic anime tropes by following a protagonist who is too powerful and doesn't want to be.

UnMinded says...

I won't make this too long, even though because of the fucking 100 words limit, but if you like both or one, then watch the other, respectively. Now, if you have watched both, I would highly suggest the ogs; Overlord, Reincarnated as a Slime, I'm Quitting Heroing, and lastly arifureta. 

NolansWitch says...

Both funny af man. I love the animation to.

Saiki is just a trip man. I be laughing at the sacrcastic stuff he be saying man.

1AndOnlyUnacountable says...

both center on a stoic, largly speachless overpowered protagonist who desires to live a normal school life.

Clarinet8008 says...

Both main characters are super over-powered, both anime's share similar comedy and want to keep their power a secret from their peers

AshleyB says...

The protagonist in both anime, Kusuo Saiki and Wang Ling, both have near limitless powers and the ability to end the world in an instant. To try and prevent the distruction of the world as they know it, they both use a limiter of sorts to limit their power and help control their abilities.

While Kusuo Saiki lives in a mundane world where very few have the gift (or in his opinion, curse) of psychic powers, Wang Ling lives in a world where having powers is normal, just not nearly as strong as his. Neither want their overwhelming power to become know to those around them and try to appear more normal in the worlds eyes.

Both characters have a similar, emotionless personality trait, although for slightly different reasons, and they act in similar ways for the majority of the anime and appear indifferent about events which would usaly bother others.

Satoru101 says...

The guy doesn't care about anything as long as his friends don't get hurt, Although the cause is different in both it is still pretty good. It is quite the comedy as well.

SpyxHunter says...

Both of them are about an overwhelming powerful Mc who want a simple life. Also, both of them can't fall in love, since Saiki just sees the inside of everyone and Wang Ling can't show his feelings, otherwise the world will perish. They both are also obsessed with a certain type of food (Saiki loves coffee jelly and Wang Ling loves dry noodles). They both also have classmates who want to be friends with them, when they don't really want to be friends back. Wang Ling seems to be a more serious version of Saiki. Wang Ling is Chinese, while Saiki is Japanese and both of them are on Netflix.

AgentAndrew0 says...

They have the same feel. Overpowered character with incompetent parents trying to hide his abilities from the world and needs to use a device/talisman to keep said powers from causing mass destruction.

ShadowNinja365 says...

Both have op mc

bothmc have a girl chasing them 

both are in high school 

both mc families know about their power

both mc try to hide their power

atkuymas says...

Both about 2 boys with super powers, overall both humourous animes, I suppose one is a Chinese anime and ther other a Japanese anime, not that this matters though.

Ohmylegitdays says...

both about apathetic op mc's with an obsession over a specific food that go to school and learn about making friends.

wowimsatan says...

Both of these shows have a vastly OP main character in a comedy setting at school trying to keep their OPness on the down low.

NotDaRaven says...

Both have OP main characters who are hiding their true powers. Both go to schools where they accidentally attracted the cutest girl in school.

Max4444 says...

Both have OP main characters trying to live a normal school life and kinda failing at it. They are both comedy anime, but at the end The Daily Life of the Immortal King does get more serious while Saiki K stays pretty light hearted throughout the entire series.

AnimeDemon4962 says...

They both have an op mc just trying to live a normal life, tackling the struggles of being unordinary and 'too powerful' beings.

Caveicu says...

Personally I think Saiki K is just a better version of The Daily Life of the Immortal King, and it doesn't have romance.

Litoleo says...

If you want a stupidly over powered MC that just wants a normal life then yes these two are a match. Both saiki and Wang Ling just want not to stand out but both their friends just make it so difficult

komishouko says...

The protagonists of both are very similar, VERY SIMILAR. They want nothing to do with their god level powers and just want to live a normal life. Due to them being born with these extreme powers they are being kept with a handicap as you can't fully get rid of those extreme powers. But as soon as these handicaps are taken away the world loses its balance. We also have the stereotypical popular girl who's perfect and pretty in every way, the 2 other friends who play an important role but aren't really cared for in their world as their either outcasts or average.

FlightlessRaven says...

Both anime have an overpowered protagonist who technically doesn't flaunt his powers and is usually pretty chill!

Anonymous0t0 says...

its similour in many ways like the main character is overpower and the other character is simiolur to eachother

fengqiuhua says...

both have op mc, have talking animals, lack of emotions from mc, and an uninterest in making friends or romantic relationships.

shakti19 says...

YUP MAKES SENSE, BOTH THE SHOWS HAVE AN ABSOLUTE POWERHOWER OF A MAIN CHARACTER. BOTH ARE STRONG AND INTROVERTED . HOWEVER ONLY THE MAIN CHARACTER IS THAT ONE SIMILARITY B/W THESE 2 SHOWS. BUT BOTH ARE GOOD SHOWS AND FUN TO WATCH.... 

HOPE IT HELPS

MitTheNoob says...

I don't think these two could be any more similar. Both are awesome in every way. I personally life The Daily Life better but they're both amazing. Same concepts except Saiki is like the only one with god abilities. 

yamiksha says...

Kageyama Shigeo, a.k.a. "Mob," is a boy who has trouble expressing himself, but who happens to be a powerful esper. Mob is determined to live a normal life and keeps his ESP suppressed, but when his emotions surge to a level of 100%, something terrible happens to him! As he's surrounded by false espers, evil spirits, and mysterious organizations, what will Mob think? What choices will he make?

TheBoom says...

Both Saiki and Mob experience the struggles of having powerful psychic powers.  Saiki tries to hide the fact he is a psychic from his friends, while Mob tries to keep his powers under control.  The comedy from both anime stems from their respective problems

AMhuman says...

Both Mob Psycho 100 and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. are about characters with psychic powers and both are humorous/comedies, but not to a point where they become annoying.

NicetyL says...

They're both hilaious and slice-of-life

They also both have chraracters with psychic powers

JarbonCarbon says...

Both animes feature a psychic as the main character and both shows provide hilarious comedy. Saiki K. is on netflix so it's easy to watch, if you've seen Mob Psycho then definitely give Saiki K. a watch.

savav says...

Do you love overpowered apathetic physic boys? Then, you will love these animes. 

The main plots of both are different as Mob's story focuses on his attempts at making friends, while Saiki's story mainly focuses on him doing his best to avoid his friends. I like Saiki K. more only because I am a big fan of dry humor and tsundere main characters. Mob is a sweetheart and I love him, but Saiki's inability to stop making friends is SO good. 

SetsGoUp says...

The style of humour is dry, but consistent and there is a lot of action intertwinned with strong, progressive story arcs

LuckyBerserker says...

Both Mob Psycho 100 and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. are comedies about characters who struggle with their powerful psychic powers

EverythingFreezing says...

Both are about high schoolers who have psychic powers and are apathetic because of having such powers.

Justiciar99 says...

Both are filled with hilarious gags, and the MCs are similarly unemotional and deadpan. Both are extremely powerful psychics. 

TooTiredToSleep says...

Both of these animes gave me a feeling of stupid joy. These are the type of shows that make you stupidly giggle to yourself. The fandoms of both of these shows are also really laid back and funny. Both of these shows will give you a feeling of joy. These shows have a lovable plot and even more lovable characters. Both of these animes are amazing and while they are silly they are really well done. 

notlucinda says...

similar type of comedy and portrayal of characters. The characters in MP100 just have a feel about them that i can't explain.

nik04 says...

Both the protagonists are so OP that the animes sometime cross right over to ridiculous territory. Another similarity would be the delinquents with hearts of gold and of course, the beautiful but annoying girls fawning over the MCs.

Superstars111 says...

Both anime follow an over-the-top comedy style that's absolutely hilarious. Sakamoto is so popular, cool, and stylish that he can find a way out of almost any problem. However, he is limited by the fact that he is still a mere human (technically).

Sakamoto is so popular, cool, and stylish that he can find a way out of almost any problem. However, he is limited by the fact that he is still a mere human (technically). Everybody loves him, and he doesn't seem to mind being the center of attention.

Saiki Kusou is almost the opposite. He has psychic powers that can help him out of any situation, but he desires to be alone and out of the spotlight, which ends up being the very thing that sets his limitations.

Despite having very different main characters, both anime have a similar approach to their style of comedy. Their situations and solutions are ridiculous, but they stick to the rules they've set for their own show (usually), which keeps it from becoming a random collection of nonsense.

Yahikoo says...

It is both in a highschool.

The main characters are both op and good in everything.

They have the same humor.

DragonQueen2 says...

both are like similar and really good!! i recomend these animes are really nice and you will enjoy to watch these.

DangoAnime11 says...

Both are extremely entertaining to watch. Both of the MCs have the best reactions to situations. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is the better choice out of the two for me. It's way funnier than most anime that I've seen.

snuffywicket17 says...

They both have a similar main character that is basically perfect at everything, but they think of differently, which changes it up significantly. 

TonsOfTunes says...

Both have overpowered main characters and don't bother too much with keeping a serious tone, I very much enjoyed both.

komishouko says...

Casually breaking the 4th wall, the MC is hilarious and no one can defeat him

Its hilarious how the plot continues in the most ridiculous ways possible

they give the really similar vibes

the cold mc, the girl that wants the mc to like her cause everyone likes her and the dumb side characters who aren't actually side characters as they actually play an important role

Cupidsbow22 says...

The story's are really similar and the characters personalities are really similar saiki just has super powers they both quite honestly just want to live a normal life but the world just seems to always have different plans 

Josle says...

Both very good comedy short story animes. I highly recommend both animes if you like overpowered people do normal things in a very funny way.

boomshacalaka4 says...

They are both light comedies and have both are short to watch

you can also become hooked easily

both if the mcs are both overpowered, serious and find joy in one thing but though they are p they are scared of some things

looking at their faces and demeanour people may be intimidated by them 

both can be found on Netflix 

LamiaNymph says...

Both are comedy's with short segments that get straight to point. They both also have likable characters. If you like one, you might as well give the other a try.

NeoSun says...

both entertaining and refreshing misunderstood and powerful leads, one of my favs as well. also short and set for another season. definitely worth the watch!

Drpx1 says...

If your looking at having a laugh then these both work. While the Disastrous life of Saiki K is more fleshed out and has many episodes, the way of the house husband also has a similar line of comedy.

Aalthough if you get picky over animation, the way of the househusband, may lessen the enjoyability if youv'e watched Saiki K. However its still interesting as a follow up minus a world with psychic powerss of course.

attractivegirl says...

I agree with this becaue these 2 are very similar. Plus the fact that the comdey are twins and its funny and cool to watch so pick this show up c:

viomityy says...

They're both pretty light-hearted and have a variety of characters. Similar genres and funny shenanigans that happen in the protagonist's everyday life. 

uzuisfourthwife says...

If you like the chaos of Saiki K then I recommend the way of the house husband as they are both really chaotic. Although this anime might not have the best animation the bad quality adds to the silliness and charm of the show.

misplacedstatic says...

Overpowered main characters, used for comedy. Easy to get hooked on both of these shows, just fun watches!

Ferrox07 says...

It's  funny  and   entertaining  like Saiki  in  its  own  way.  Especially  because  the  humour   is  unexpected  and  not  cliche  like  other  anime.

Enenra17 says...

Oddly these 2 have similar vibes , mc doesn't want to interact with others for different reasons and everyone misunderstands what the mc is doing which accidentally makes them more loved,scary or popular and both are funny.

good characters and a good time .

hanako37 says...

Both light hearted, slice of life anime, with plenty of gags and comedy. Refeshing new ideas that are anything but cliche. Following antisocial MC's and characters that always cause them toubles, these two anime are both well executed and easy to follow. If you want to watch a show that doesn't require you bingeing to understand more: these two are the way to go. Leaving you comfortably at the end of each episode without forsaking the entertainment.

Hinata00 says...

Both revolve around high schoolers and are hilarious                               

joseph12798 says...

I started watching these both at the same time, suprisingly enough. both the MC's give that "Leave me alone" vibe. While they trounce through life trying not to attract any attention. They are also quite funny. (I just wanted to +1) 

xXB0BXx says...

It is very cool and i like both highly recomend why does this need to be 100 characters well anyway both are good and cool and very yes and absolutely good and good how is this not 100 characters yet i think the character counter must be broken anyway as I was saying both are about people doing thing and yes good so pls watch

Allynna says...

Handa-kun and the Disastrous Life of Saiki K both have the same type of humor and plot. Some of the characters are very similar.

KADIDULOVE says...

Both animes revolve around main characters that have a misrepresentation of their situations in the world. Saiki K. believes his powers are burdensome and wishes he could be "normal" even though his powers are what make him Saiki K. Handa believes that everyone is out to get him so he refuses to face his fears by pushing his classmates away. He wishes to change but his awkward stoic nature makes him the Handa everyone knows and loves. 

flannelbi says...

They're very similar in terms of the protag's motivations, Tanaka wanting to be listless and Saiki wanting to be as average as possible, but with an interesting cast of friends to disrupt that.

Wyvern107 says...

Both give off a similar vibe, being comedies in which the protagonist has special inhuman trait (psychic powers for Saiki, inhuman laziness for Tanaka), and attempts to survive their daily school life while being plagued with "friends", when really, the protagonist just wants to be left alone. The two anime are very different, but both give me similar vibes, and will leave you going from episode to episode like there's no tomorrow. So, if you liked one, I highly reccommend checking out the other.

DarwinsGame says...

Both main characters are (or at least want to be) passive viewers in the weirdness going on around them, but they're dragged into it anyway. Both are based around school-aged characters and a school setting with mundane issues getting wildly out of hand. Highly recommend!

RainbowPuffBall says...

Both are wholesome casual shows that are easy to watch. Eventhough Saiki K. is heavier on the gags and comedy, and Tanaka-kun is more of a softer feel-good show, they both have charachers that you get attatched to and root for annd want to get to know.

KeanuBriefs says...

It is the second most funniet anime I have ever seen, It's MC was one of the best ones I've seen. Saiki is totally different from those cliche mcs. Lastly, he is the reason behind the whole anime logic, from people having colorful hair to character's injuries heling fast, its all because of Saiki.

GandalfVirus says...

Both charcters are chill. The same can't be said for the rest of the show though. Tanaka-kun is a chill show where Saiki K is not as chill.

dogko5000 says...

i love it                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 and fuck you

ToeBeans405 says...

The main characters are a bit similar, in the way that both Tanaka and Saiki will both go to a lot of effort to just have some peace and quiet. The tone of each show is quite different, but if you like one protaganist you may enjoy the other.

LamiaNymph says...

Both are comedy centric series that mainly focuses on a group of 3 high school students.

They have simalar characters archetypes and will most likely give you a few chuckles. 

snuffywicket17 says...

They both are light-hearted school comedies. They feature high school students with high school humor. With both having characters that over-exaggerate emotions for comedic effect, they are quite similar. 

lucilutia says...

Both comedic anime with some absurd humor. Disastrous Life has a more fast-paced flow, but manageable if you enjoyed Daily Life of Highschool Boys.

Peta7382 says...

Daily Lives of Hogh School Boys and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K both have absurd humour with each episode being like a small skit

TheCautionBandi says...

Both Daily Lives and Saiki K have short skits in each episode that are hilarious. Funniest shows out there.

moonstruckhistoria says...

Both have incredibly aware senses of humor and see into high school lives xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

blissinapricot says...

Both these comedic animes are gags based on the school life of a male protagonist. The characters in both the animes speak to the audience in a way of being aware that they're in an anime. Although the pacing of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is faster, they both do not have a specific plot yet present the personalities of the characters in each episode.

kearma says...

This anime has the same feel for me as Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan TV it revolves around an everyday class turned into assassins with the task of killing their teacher to save the world and earn the large bounty on his head. While each of the characters play two roles student and assassin, teacher and target they continue their everyday lives as class 3-E the lowest class as well as the misfits and outcasts of the school. He is there target and the best teacher they have ever had, add in his amazing abilities into the mix that make him practically in killable and it makes for an exciting action packed story. this anime has a more set plot than that of Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan TV and becomes more serious as the season progresses.

Emilia412 says...

They are both very hilarious and so unique. It’s hard to find many good, well developed, non-cliché characters like the main characters in both of these. In every episode, you are sure to be laughing and I highly recommend watching them. 

Salldream says...

Ridiculous comedy anime. Assassination classroom is more action-packed, but Saiki is funnier.

Rascal says...

The humor in Saiki and AssClass is quite similar, as are the way all its characters interact. They're both based on a premise having to do with an irregular character with powers and take place largely at a school. AssClass is far more plot-based and ends up being more serious and Saiki leaves more room for pure comedy, however.

savav says...

Overpowered main character: check 

A large cast of great characters: check

Largely school setting: check 

One of my personal favorite animes: check

Humorous and fun: check

While the main aspects of the show are different (class trying to kill their octopus teacher vs. apathetic psychic who can't stop making friends) they are both great and colorful shows with excellent characters. I am a sucker for character development and both shows surprised me by how much the characters grow. Both are in my top 10 favorites. I HIGHLY recommend!

Oblithian says...

Gintama has a similar sense of humour. Or at least, one of the types of humour frequently featured in Gintama is the same. If you find Saiki k. funny, you should really enjoy Gintama (because it is funnier). The settings are quite different though, fair warning.

Rascal says...

The types of humor in Saiki show up often in Gintama and they're both primarily comedy anime that devote much of their runtime to their gags. All character interactions are similar as well.

reeema says...

gintama and saiki k have similar comedy, both worlds are.. unusual, the episodes in both animes are unrelated (except for the serious/ semi serious arcs and the multiple part episodes) i just think in general if you liked one of them you will for sure love the other one n enjoy it:3 also saiki kinda reminds me of gin chan because they both seem like they just dont care n are done with everything but they're actually always there for their friends n are always willing to help them out, p wholesome if u ask me<3

Teoca317 says...

Both Gintama and Saiki K have a lot of comedy. They also have a lot of gags and randomness in each episode. Both have memorable characters. There's even a Gintama reference in the second season of Saiki K!
