Watched this after having seen 65 episodes of the sequel series, and I still found it hilarious. The super low-res slideshow children's book animation, oddly, did not detract. Rather, it imparted charm.
The preview after the show's end caught me off guard and I almost blew coffee all over the keyboard, it was that funny. A style of humor that might not be for everyone but, if it's your cup of tea, don't eat or drink while watching.

Saiki Kusuo, an otherwise normal teenager, has various super-powers, telepathy and telekinesis included. This should have been cool, but through experience, Saiki comes to realize that having powers while trying to lead an ordinary life is a bad mix.

male, , invisibilityThe ability to avoid visual detection., psychokinesisPsychokinesis, also referred to as telekinesis with respect to strictly describing movement of matter, describes the direct influence of mind on a physical system that cannot be entirely accounted for by the mediation of any known physical energy., quietCharacter remains quiet. In most cases, speaks only when spoken to., reality manipulationThe ability to bend reality to one`s will., sunglassesA form of protective eye-wear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight from damaging or discomforting the eyes. Also used as a fashion detail. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; apply only the "sunglasses" tag for sunglasses, not both. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., telepathyno description set, teleportationTeleportation is the transfer of matter from one point to another, possibly a distant one, without application of force, and generally instantly. This contradicts scientific law as we know it, and is therefore nowadays impossible. Sometimes it appears as a paranormal or supernatural ability, and sometimes it is shown in science fiction through technological devices backed up by scientific laws yet to be discovered., x-ray visionno description set

In most cases sufferers attribute supernatural abilities to themselves., cowardlyCowardice is a trait wherein excessive fear prevents an individual from taking a risk or facing danger.

male, bloodtype: O, carefreeA carefree person is free of worries, cares or concerns. This does not necessarily imply that they have no responsibilities or are negligent towards them; they are simply able to live out their lives in tranquility regardless of what happens., friendlyA friendly person is generally considered warm, approachable and easy to relate with in character., mohawkThe name of a hairstyle in which, in the most common variety, both sides of the head are shaven, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the center. It is associated mostly with the punk rock subculture., muscularno description set, scarsA scar is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury. Scars are result of the biological process of wound repair in the skin and scarring is a natural part of the healing process., simple-mindedThis character exhibits a `special` sort of intelligence. Be it the inability to comprehend even the most simple of situations, or the lack of common sense found in even a preschooler, the character never ceases to amaze both the show`s cast and audience with their idiocy., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor., tone deafThe inability to distinguish musical notes. In other words this character`s musical skills and singing suck beyond words.

16, female, bloodtype: A, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., blue hairThe character has blue hair., hair bangsHair bangs are a shaped cutting of the front part of the hair so it lies over the forehead. Bangs are usually cut fairly straight - at or above the eyebrows, but can also be curled, ragged/ruffled, spiked up with hair gel, mousse or wax, swept aside, or cut longer to fall over the eyes., popularThis character`s social status is being well liked, admired or well known to a particular group., school idolThe single most popular student(s) in school.
Beyond that, however, school idols can be a widely varying bunch. Though membership of The Beautiful People is generally mandatory, school idols can be academically accomplished (or not), great athletes (or not), or the nicest people you`ve ever met (or not). While more school idols tend towards being Aces than not, what really only defines this trope is massive in-series popularity; most common symptoms of which include being met with fawning adulation wherever they go, an Instant Fan Club or three, and/or a group of highly jealous and violently protective stalkers.
Storywise, if the school idol is a secondary character, he or she is likely to be a Love Interest, most likely in a Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy setting; if (s)he`s the main character, the story usually revolves around his or her struggles to keep up the perfect facade.
Source: TVTropes, school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., skirtA skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped piece of clothing that hangs from the waist and covers the legs partially or fully. Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.
