Well damn, I must say this is just a very fun season. I dont know whether to ask for more and potentially ruin it. I was real happy with this series, while the 1st episode felt pretty weird for me, It started to pick up again in ep2. It can easily fit into the main series and with others none the wiser. Although the lack of an OP and ED disappointed me, I've got to say that the song that plays with the credits actually grew on me and I still got to enjoy an "ED" even if it wasn't your usual one. Overall, I am glad that this anime was given a second life by Netflix through airing the original series worldwide giving it more attention, and a third life by being rebooted for a new season, even if it was just 6 episodes I enjoyed it thoroughly. If they decide to continue the reboot, I'll be certainly have mixed feelings with the possibility of them messing it up but i'll still definitely be happy and if they decide to end it for good, I am satisfied. Saiki K, may your life be disastrous as the way it should always be.

Nice Brief Continuation

I actually really enjoyed this small season. It was a little boring in the beginning but I quickly picked it up in episode 3! New characters entered and the old ones were still there so that was nice. I enjoyed the humour and laughed as well. I would recommend this if you watched the original Saiki K anime!
Thanks netflix

Bring back the original English dub actors!
shekak21 December 2022
They should've brought the original English - speaking actors from season one of the original show.
I cannot even get into these actors' voices. The actor for the original Saiki k had his deadpan voice down perfectly. This is just a very poor imitation. I am still on episode one & I am having trouble even listening to the actor's voice. It honestly just comes across as boring - and not deadpan, like it should be.
Even Kusuo's father's voice is bad. The all - around acting is bad.
Honestly, I am still hoping for a dub of the second season of the original. If you watch both versions, you can really tell the difference in the actor's voices and tones.
Overall - rating of the first season - 10/10. Rating of the second season - - - 3/10. {And that is JUST because of the new voice actors.

New English voice actors
LesleySeptimo20 February 2022
Very disappointed with the fact that they changed the voice actors. Everything sounds over exaggerated and done with no effort. If season 2 comes out of the original show, they can possibly redeem themselves with casting the original English voice actors.
New voice actors...very disappointed
jailinxclaus13 November 2020
As a new comer to the saiki K series I was VERY disappointed to not have the original english cast for this Netflix series they could of at least took the time to bring SOME of the original cast back for this I honestly loved how each actor fit the characters perfectly including saiki I feel like it ruins the whole anime for me as the viewer..
Netflix mess up this anime

CONSTANT monotonous narration
vleproy4 May 2021
The main guy never moves his mouth he just constantly narrates the "story" in an idiotic and monotone voice. It's so boring. I laughed 3 times in the entire first season. Not worth the torture of 24 episodes for 3 pathetic laughs. There is no storyline and absolutely no character development. The animation is very average at best. Personally, I would definitely not recommend this unless you need mindless background noise.
