Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan: Kanketsu-hen

Saiki Kusuo has ended. I really enjoyed this series because it is one of the only animes that make me laugh out loud (not just snort with my nose). This ending episode had both comedy and it made me feel happy. And according to me Saiki as a character, grows and shows other sides than just the "Yare Yare"-part. The only thing that was negative was that I thought it had a bit of an abrupt ending. But I found out that there are two more chapters that the creators did before quitting! So a quick google search for "Saiki k giga chapters" gave me amore satisfying ending and I recommend anyone who watched Saiki Kusuo to read them!

Don't let my score to get to you too much, this anime is fantastic. The ending on the other hand... isn't. I really loved this series and this is just a disappointment. Kanketsu-hen is supposed to be the finale of the Saiki series but it doesn't really. I'm fine with the idea of having the finale not being a huge ordeal and just being like any other episode but there's too many loose ends for this to be the finale. We were teased with Yumehara and Kaidou getting together as a couple, then the author hit undo. We were teased with Saiki letting out his secretof being a psychic to his friends after all of the buildup, then the author hit undo. Season 2 we were teased of Saiki and Teruhashi being a thing, that was swept aside. It was a real thing, not just something built up by viewers. Saiki was protecting Teruhashi throughout the season and stopped the mixer she was a part of and didn't let any other guy get to her.. The 4-koma finale also didn't address any of these ends. Also one thing I'd like to say is the additions of the characters Rifuta and Akechi were really just a timewaster. Instead of any real kind of story progression, time was spent on their seriously minor and meaningless roles to avoid the big questions that have lingered throughout the series in s2. As you can see they were just shoved in for the finale. It was also very uncharacteristic for Kuusuke to make a device that would stop Saiki's powers since he's drastically masochistic and Saiki is the only one who both could defeat him and interests him at the same time. *Spoiler* I understand the ending it's like he tries get away from being a physic the whole show, he finds a way out which doesn't work and then just accepts that he's a physic. But that's just a really simple ending for a story that has evolved throughout the years.

It has unfortunately ended at a really, really weird point in the story. YARE YARE Anyway. Apparently, there are those few extra chapters that happen afterwards. It still ends on a cliffhanger, though, and I'm sadly disappointed. Of course we all wish there was more, and that it went out with a bang, but oh well. I'll admit, I enjoyed it while it lasted. I somehow found the series in 2017, and Saiki K. was the second anime I watched, and the first that I finished. (Excluding the ones I didn't know were anime when I watched it, etc. -- second anime I watched willingly and then) It was, however,the first anime that I loved and enjoyed 100%, and I seriously couldn't wait until season two began airing a few months later. But yeah. I rate this a 9 as it could have been better. We all want to know what Kusuke really thinks about his little brother! I mean, come on. There's the times where he's about to do whatever, and it seems he might kill Kusuo, but then he starts laughing and says "haha, I like my cute little brother too much for that!" etc. My main point is, wish there was more. (and this review is kind of sad because I wrote it in a hurry. school tomorrow, late at night, should be sleeping, et cetera)
