TL;DR This is a great anime, and each short is amazing, funny, witty, ad entertaining. Go watch it immediately.
Review:
The major strength of Saiku Kusuo is the dialogue. It's really fast-paced, and snappy, and is mostly about Saiki making observations about the absurdities of the humans surrounding him, interspersed with clever usage of his psychic powers. And, he is literally a God with a wide variety of powers, so, watching him use his powers is really entertaining. He's someone who doesn't want to stand out, and often, the anime tests him to his limits. It's also very meta, making observations on various genre tropes. Almost all the characters are quirky, and like-able. The animation and art are your standard stuff, and pleasing. The voice acting is very good too. Just a heads-up, sometimes it may be a bit too fast, so be prepared to keep up with the subs.
Score: I'd give it somewhere between 8.5/10 and 9/10
PS: Season 2 starts in January, and is gonna have 24 episodes, with the normal 25 minute run-time.
