Those who were exposed to anime in the late 90s and early 2000s will have fond memories of Sailor Moon. Years later the series was rebooted by Toei animation in order to be a more faithful adaptation of the manga.

What makes Saiki K so great is its ability to make fun of itself by using, and sometimes ridiculed, the various anime tropes. The deadpan and nonchalant approach toward Saiki K’s character only exemplifies the ridiculous nature of some anime.
High-school student Saiki was born with an array of superhuman abilities such as teleportation, telepathy, and psychokinesis. But rather than use his powers for anything grandiose, who only wishes to live a normal high school life, except his friends, and the various egos at school get in the way.
