The multitude of small, miniscule “discomfort” later develops into a case so large it is beyond imagination... Yuuta Gamon is a 2nd year in high school. He runs "Kiri Kiri Basara," an affiliate blog that rounds up occult forum posts, for a shot at quick money, and challenges himself to the occult night and day to "hack and slash away!" the many supernatural phenomena existing in the world from a scientific standpoint. However, with that blog of his as a catalyst, a group of downright maniacal and insane comrades have gathered about.

Both of these shows are a little off their rocker with a focus on strange yet fun psychic shenanigans.

Occultic Nine and Saiki K are also the two shows with the most rapid fire subs and breakneck information delivery speed. So if you appreciated the quick pace of one show then you'll definitely find that present in the other.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo are both comedy shows that take full advantage of the straight man-funny man dynamic to base a lot of their comedy around, as well as trying to destroy your expectations. If you like one, it's probably a good idea to at least try out the other if the comedy really caught your interest.

Though they both take it from a different angle, one being more outlandish and the other more down to Earth they do it in very interesting ways making watching both be a good addition to your watching collection!

This anime also has short episode nonsequitur humor and gags. If you like crazy off the wall humor you might end up liking Arakawa Under the bridge more!

Both are brightly colored absurd school-life anime where the main character is trying to hide their true nature.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. has more slapstick and gross-out humor, where Iruma-kun is more 'friendship is magic'.

even though they're fundamentally different, there's still many similarities to these two shows. both feature a powerful stoic character and a rich plethora of characters. both have many lovable characters and offer good action occasionally.

saiki leans even more on the gag anime side, but hoozuki has gag elements too. which means they both offer a good laugh ! i can recommend both these series if you want a cheer-up and to have a good time.

Both full of super funny characters and dry humor. Also includes magic, but in an entertaining silly way.

Both are comedies with an overpowered main character. The comedy is very similar, both have very dry humour.
