Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan: Kanketsu-hen

The ground shakes, a rumble follows, and before anyone in Japan can prepare themselves, a cataclysmic volcanic eruption engulfs the country in molten lava and suffocating ashes. Of course, high school student Kusou Saiki repeatedly uses his psychic powers to prevent this harrowing catastrophe.

But between restoring the planet and watching his friends discuss their aspirations, Saiki finally resolves to stop the eruption and allow the world to continue spinning. However, this straightforward task is challenging even for the most powerful of psychics, let alone one who must deal with the usual shenanigans his ludicrous friends present.

Yare yare, Saiki has ended.

The comedy is on par with season 02, but the ending itself was quite underwhelming. It's disappointing to see this one go and it surely didn't feel like the author pushed it all the way with this "conclusion". Given, it is rare to see fully satisfying endings for comedy series but this one was downright cop-out. Since Saiki has so often delivered, I can't help but feel it could have -very realistically- been something more.

If these had been your average episodes inserted in full season, I wouldn't complain at all, but since these are supposedly the last after taste, I ... will only call them good. I am glad these were made, but as a whole I can't say my expectations were fully met.

A lot could be said about Saiki Kusuo no Psi-Nan. But in all honesty, that a lot would mean nothing, when this is a series you need to experience.
There's no need to give a summary of the plot, you can just watch the first episode and get it. But there's one detail you will never understand with just one or even ten episodes: The magic.
Saiki is more than just a comedy. Sure, it makes you laugh with almost every short, but in those jokes there's always something else. But the real point of it are the characters. They just grow on you. From the point ... where you first realize that Teruhashi is actually a great person, despite what she thinks, to the point where you notice Nendou might not be such an idiot... all the time, all of it is part of that magic.
I could give you a thousand reasons to enjoy this show. But again, those would be meaningless.
Saiki was the anime that, back in 2016, gave me back my love for anime. After many years not really caring about watching any chinese cartoons, I got curious about this overpowered guy with pink hair, and I honestly will be forever thankful for it.
It's been a great ride, but I suppose everything must end.

tl;dr: Saiki is funny as hell but it can also be wholesome, go watch it.

Mixed Feelings

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 secret ... of 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.
