Here’s a concise review of Saiki K. (2013), specifically referring to the original (which began serialization in 2012, with its first compiled volume released in 2013) or the various short anime adaptations that appeared around that time before the full 2016 TV series.

Since there is no standalone “Saiki K. 2013 anime series” (the first full TV anime aired in 2016), I’ll focus on the and the pilot anime short (2013) . Review: Saiki K.
