Funniest anime since Gintama.

Saiki K is one of anime's greatest comedies that is less known despite being acknowledged as one of the greatest ongoing animes. Check all the funniest animes and I'm shocked to notice that this series still does not have the fame it deserves. It must be on par with gintama. The show appears first not to take itself seriously as most things are rushed through in the early episodes but it does one thing perfectly- makes you laugh on the turn of every single episode. Never have I enjoyed any anime comedy like this. The D.L. of Saiki K made me laugh so hard. The main character Kusuo is not the funniest centre of the show unlike Gintama, school days, or Toradora. The true gold of the show are the side characters: Nendou and co. So much attention is given to a large side characters who never disappoint and really make us laugh our hearts out. For Saiki having such abilities, one will think there will be main villain or something but no. Rarely is there a bad guy threatening the protagonists. Instead the show focuses on the slice of life, and really works on the comedy. What I like about this comedy is that it doesn't invest too much in parodies such as race jokes, poking other countries, anime titles, movies, etc. Instead the anime focuses on its own unique way of comedy and trust me it will really make you laugh. The animation is great and the pacing is great. However, more sequels should be released quickly because there is a whole lot of great arcs that can be taken from the manga. However, this anime is still stereotypical as art styles for black characters suck hard! Zolbe Kageyukouji is given a terrible art style. His lips for instance is the same as Takahasi's which is described as ugly by everyone in the show. That's very disappointing for these great Japanese shows. Look at Kilik Rung of Soul Eater and some blacks in Bleach. These are worthy of emulation. Zolbe also has those typical stereotypical ghetto character. Japanese artists and writers must really step up because there are a lot of black people who love anime but many turn away in disappointment because of silly blunders like these.Every single episode made me laugh.
