10 Anime Like Saiki K You’ll Love To Watch

1. One Punch Man – Action & Comedy anime like Saiki K

If you have enjoyed Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan for the overpowered protagonist and you don’t mind joining the troupe again, high chances are you will love Saitama from One Punch Man (given that you haven’t watched this incredibly famous work, of course!). Besides, both series are packed with action and comedy for a fun weekend.

For Saitama, being a superhero is not only a noble dream but also a hobby. After three years of unwavering commitment, he has practiced and pushed himself to the top.

In exchange for all his hair, Saitama reached the pinnacle of power. No enemy can endure more than a punch from him. However, he eventually gets bored of having no worthy opponents.

When he runs into Genos and impresses the boy tremendously, another problem arises: no one has yet to know about him, hence Saitama accepts Genos’ suggestion and joins the Hero Association.

How would this new journey help the baldy find his thrill again? You need to watch to find out!

2. Ouran High School Host Club – Many short arcs like Saiki K

The protagonist Haruhi Fujioka is a smart student who gets a scholarship at Ouran Academy, a school for heirs of the most influential families in the country. In order to keep the funds coming, she has to study hard and maintain the #1 rank.

Everything changes when Haruhi enters a seemingly abandoned classroom and encounters the members of the Host Club, who spend their free time keeping female students company. Startled by Tamaki Suou, she knocks an expensive vase over and regrettably gets herself a debt.

It’s hard to decide whether Haruhi is unlucky for being involved in trouble or lucky for being easily mistaken as a boy! Either way, at least she has the means to pay for the debt by working as a host alongside the extravagant and unique personalities of the hosts.

While Ouran High School Host Club doesn’t have a superpower concept, it still shares many similarities with Saiki K. The series is full of laughing stocks that serve most efficiently when you are having a bad day.

Furthermore, both of them are easy to follow with short arcs and many independent episodes.

3. Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto – Main character similar to Saiki K

Also known as Sakamoto Desu Ga?, it’s a similar anime to Saiki K due to the main character checking all the boxes: handsome, cool, smart, talented, and overall incredibly flawless.

Although he is only leading a normal life like everyone else, people around him always end up relying on him to solve their problems.

You will be laughing nonstop from the first episode onwards. As soon as Sakamoto shows up at his high school, he has got all the girls head over heels for him. Fuming with jealousy, the boys try different tricks to derail and embarrass him, but Sakamoto unsurprisingly dodges all these attempts.

People either want to be him or defeat him, even though both goals are unattainable. But who knows, they might learn a few lessons from him! For now, they can continue watching him study, cook perfect meals, save little animals, and basically do everything without fail.

4. Daily Lives of High School Boys

The title is pretty much everything you need to know about this series. There is no complicated plot, only teenage boys whose daily lives are bunches of funny moments and epic situations.

The center of the series is a chaotic trio: mature and rational Tadakuni, enthusiastic Yoshikate, and imaginative Hidenori. Despite the mundane life routine, their colorful minds keep the day extraordinary. Heart-wrenching dramas, romantic stories, and even gigantic robots – there is simply no limit to these youngsters.

If you are specifically looking for a funny anime like Saiki K, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is simply a name you shouldn’t miss out on. It is packed with situations you wouldn’t think of, some might give you that nostalgic longing for school days.

(At the end of each episode is short scenes that serve as the counterpart of Danshi and tell the stories of three girls, and they are super cute as well!)

5. My Love Story!!

They say “never judge a book by its cover”, yet it is quite difficult to do when standing in front of you is a tall and muscular thug-like guy.

Every girl hesitates to approach let alone become close to Takeo Gouda for this exact reason, although he is extremely sweet and even admired by his male friends.

Nonetheless, Takeo only experiences love at first sight when he saves the pretty Rinko from sexual assault. Unfortunately, he has little to no confidence in himself and assumes Rinko will be interested in his friend Sunakawa, and he chooses to ignore his feelings and decides to be their cupid.

But is it truly what Rinko wants?

You will find Saiki’s signature apathetic attitude in Makoto Sunakawa, Takeo’s handsome best friend who attracts all girls to himself but feels nothing for them. Viewers might question whether he is asexual or not, but he still has a nice personality that contributes to this lovely series.

6. Assassination Classroom

Assassination Classroom should appear in more lists of anime recommendations like Saiki K, for there are obviously many similarities between the main characters. Koro-sensei is an octopus-like creature, yes, but he is also extremely capable and basically great at whatever he does.

While Koro-sensei is an amazing teacher who gets along well with dropouts & delinquents and gives them valuable lessons, people might freak out if they find out he also gives them tips to assassinate him.

If they succeed, they will save the world and become heroes. Otherwise, he will destroy the Earth as he has done with the moon.

Another positive thing this series has in common with Saiki K is the interesting and charismatic characters. You will undeniably start to care about them and worry for them as they rush against time to figure out the bane of Koro-sensei’s existence.

7. SKET Dance

Abbreviations of Support, Kindness, Encouragement, and Troubleshoot, SKET Bridge is a unique club in Kaimei High School, and their main purpose is helping others, and they live up to it with sincere kindness, although most people see them as peculiar folks who handle strange tasks.

To no one’s surprise, the SKET squad only consists of 3 members. Yuusuke Fujisaki is the president who possesses crazy concentration. The brain is Kazuyoshi Usui, your typical otaku with a flair for technology. And the brawn belongs to Onihime, princess of demons.

The biggest difference between the SKET trio and Saiki is they are very eager to help, but both of them end up in hilarious situations trying to solve other people’s problems. As long as you are insane enough to seek help from them, you will get exactly what they promise to give.

8. Gintama

If you’re a fan of comedy anime in general, Gintama is a treasure that shouldn’t be overlooked. It has an interesting plot too, in which feudal Japan is held under control by aliens, all swords are banned, and samurai is no longer a noble title. The short but hilarious stories will surely remind you of Saiki K.

As you look at Gintoki Sakata for the first time, you will see an amused guy with an unexpected liking for sweets, but he is perhaps the only man who still takes pride in being a samurai and dares to walk around with a wooden sword.

For a living, Gintoki runs a business named Yorozuya and takes care of odd jobs. Assisting him are the nerdy Shinpachi, the tomboy Kagura, and the giant dog Sadaharu.

During their journey, they encounter various situations and opponents that keep viewers on their toes aside from the acerbic wits of the characters.

9. Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun

We strongly recommend Danshi! Aoyama-kun – a sport anime to watch if you like Saiki K because it features a main character that is similar to Saiki in many ways. Aoyama doesn’t have psychic abilities, but he is a talented soccer player admired by people around him.

Aoyama keeps a safe distance from his admirers for only one reason: he is mysophobic and being near people scares him. Even on the soccer field, he is extremely careful with his dribbles, but how much longer can he maintain his way when his team is an underdog in tournaments?

While proving that he is not afraid of getting a little dirty for a good result in Nationals, Aoyama gets himself involved in funny situations that are only funnier due to his serious expression!

10. The Devil Is A Part-Timer!

The Devil is A Part-Timer is a supernatural anime with comedic elements with a demon protagonist rather than a human with psychic powers. Everything spirals out of control after Lord Satan fails to invade the Ente Isla realm.

Having no choice but to retreat through a portal, Satan and his loyal inferior didn’t expect to end up on Earth without magic. There are no devil dens and malicious meetings following up, the demon lord now resorts to working part-time in a restaurant and trying to pay his bills.

Soon enough, Satan realizes that ranking up in the corporate and conquering this place called Earth might be a bigger achievement than ruling that Ente Isla place. Seeing the world from a helpless demon king is as absurd (if not more) as a high-school boy with superb abilities.

Closing Words
