“The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.” Season 2 Gets New Visual


You don’t need to be a psychic to know that Saiki’s world is about to get even more disastrous.

Earlier today, a fan event was held for The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. (Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan). At the event, the show’s staff confirmed that a second season is in the works. The new series will air in 2018.

A new visual for the project was also unveiled, which you can check out below:

The news first appeared in the most recent issue of Weekly Shonen Jump (Issue 34).

The first season of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., which is based on Shūichi Asō’s manga of the same name, was directed by Hiroaki Sakurai (Cromartie High School, Maid Sama!) at studios Egg Firm and J.C. Staff. Masayuki Onji (Aria the Avvenire, Cromartie High School) provided character designs for the project, while Michiko Yokote (Genshiken, Prison School) is took charge of series composition.

Funimation currently holds the rights to the The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. anime. They describe the show as:

Saiki Kusuo is a typical 16-year-old high school student… except he has psychic powers. He can use them to get whatever he wants, but he also knows everything that people are thinking. Everything. No surprises, no secrets, no normal human experiences. He’s kept his powers in check since childhood, but with the temptations of high school now on his mind, he’s bending the rules—and spoons.
