The protagonists of these series have overpowered psychic abilities, so much that no one stand a chance against them. They actually have to restrain themselves so that no one else gets hurt. A big difference is that, in case of Mob Psycho, Shigeo is portrayed as a character who is as simple as he can be, so everyone at first glance won't pay any attention to him. On the other hand, Saiki from Saiki Kusuo tries his best to avoid any type of attention, and realizes no matter what he does he is going to be at the center of every little and big events

Protagonist is an overpowered psychic, but the comedy stems from those powers frequently being inconvinient, especially as more weirdos gather around the MC who just wants to live a normal life.
- Both protagonists have psychic powers (and are totally OP)
- A good cast of interesting side characters
If you liked the comedic aspects of MP100, Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan (TV) has got you covered for me. The latter lacks the intensity of MP100, but its quick wit and fast pace is enough to keep you hooked.

Both shows have MC with psychic power and have a lot of gag comedy elements. Though Saiki kusuo is more focused in comedic aspects but Mob Psycho has a bit of serious tone.

If you enjoyed the comedic side of Mob Psycho, you'll definitely like Saiki Kusuo, a much less serious gag comedy focused around its similarly overpowered protagonist. While Mob is a bit out of it, Saiki is relentlessly cynical and sarcastic, giving the show a more intense, hilarious vibe compared to MP100. Don't expect touching plot or drama from Saiki K, but it's a great watch anyways. Likewise, if you enjoyed Saiki K but wish it was a tad more serious/dramatic, MP100 is wonderful. Both are great, highly recommend.
Mob Psycho 100 and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. are both ridiculous, over the top comedy series about a teenage boy with superpowers. Each show has a part where the main character bends a spoon with his powers. There is a girl with dark blue hair who, in Mob Psycho 100, Mob has a crush on her. While in The Disastrous life of Saiki K., everyone else has a crush on her.

Just watch it and trust me. It's kinda similar. It's both really funny and random humor. Both characters are really strong. Difference is that saiki really is about the comedy but at mob pyscho it's also about crazy fighting scenes. So if you liked the overpowered part and comedy part definitely watch saiki. If you only liked the fighting part than saiki is not for you.
Both anime have a main character who is a psychic and both are super funny

- Both mc are psychics
- Both mc are OP but doesn't want to use their powers
They both have Powerfull Protagonists that have problems dealing with the problems caused by their powers, yet The Disastrious Life of Saiki Kusuo has a more comedic tone and the main character shows more emotions.
Do you like psychics??!! Do you want to have a good time with a crazy and most of the times non-sense plot?? Unique characters that can't be possibly be taken seriously? Well, those shows are made for you. Two unique characters with crazy overpowered psychic abilities trying to live a normal life that will bring awkward and sometimes hilarious situation.
While the comedy is vastly different and Saiki K is episodic in nature, both anime do feature protagonists who are ESPers. Both are extremely funny and ridiculous, but Saiki K is more of a gag comedy that focuses on the silliness of the characters rather than the situations like in Mob Psycho. If you liked one, you're sure to like the other
I'm sure this connection has been made countless times but it's for completely valid reasoning.
Both share a very similar concept: MC is a school kid with overpowered psychic abilities.
There is a heavy focus of comedy in both series.
Despite their very similar concepts, the execution is completely different for both series, with Mob Psycho 100 opting to have a few serious parts, whereas Saiki K. is primarily humour.
The animation in Mob Psycho 100 is simply breathtaking. By comparison, Saiki K. is rather lacking in those departments, though that doesn't tarnish the experience whatsoever.
TL;DR if you liked either series, you will more than likely enjoy the

Both involve overpowered psychics who don't use their powers too often for reasons. Along with a ridiculous cast of characters, but Mob Psycho 100 has a different way of storytelling and a very different art style. Both are funny though.
Mob Psycho 100 and Saiki Kusuo Psi-Nan have similar protagonists. Mob and Saiki have psychic powers and both are in school. However, as Mob uses his powers to fight villains, Saiki uses his powers to do daily chores and problems. Although both have comedy, Mob Psycho 100 have more action sequences while Saiki has more comedy.
Both these shows draw from the exact same premise. A teenage schoolboy (one in middle school and one in high school) have to deal with having psychic powers. However while they are similar in premise, they explore the idea in very different ways. Mob Psycho is primarily an action comedy while Saiki takes a more comedic approach. However both are equally great watches, even if for different reasons.
Psychic MCs with great power but Saiki Kusuo is like the upgraded version of Mob with more powers and less depression
Both have a pretty similar basic concept but Mob Psycho is more focused on the Mc trying to improve himself and getting along without his psychic powers while Saiki Kusuo is more of a comedy series.

Both feature powerful psychics as main characters and great world-building.
Both have psychic abilities, both wanted to live a normal life and wanted their butts to stay out of trouble.

If you like the comedy in Mob Psycho 100, you will probably find The Disastrous Life of Saiki K funny as well. Both shows follow a similar plot of the protagonist holding psychic powers and experiencing the ups and downs with having those unlimited abilities. Just like Mob Psycho 100, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K has emotional, heart-warming moments. The main difference between the two shows is that The Disastrous Life of Saiki K seems more quick-paced, but that is not a bad thing.

Mob Psycho 100 and Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan Both Have
-Protagonists with psychic powers
-Weird side characters
-Lots of comedy
-Funny character design
If you like one, you'll definitely like the other. Both are comedies about a terribly over powered psychic doing his best to deal with high school life. Both try to limit the use of their powers, albeit not for the same reason. Heck, they even began airing with less than a month's difference (as well as the mangas).
Saiki is an introverted and sarcastic teen who thinks his powers, although useful, have very annoying drawbacks that stop him from either enjoying or suffering life. He just wants to live undisturbed, as normally and unnoticed as possible. Sadly, there are some very wacky and bothersome characters in

introverts who possess immense psychic abilities? and they are not prideful about having supernatural powers? now that's what im talking about. These two have a special place in my heart as they both became my comfort anime. Although similar vibes, mob focuses more on action packed scenes, while saiki concentrates on the satire aspect. As for their personalities they are quite distinct: mob is comfortable showing a vulnerable side to him and isnt afraid to show his kindness and empathy towards others, while saiki tends to always hide his good intentions behind a cold exterior facade, he is known to have a more blunt and

Both shows are comedies with overpowered psychic characters surrounded by mostly incompetent people. Saiki K's short burst episodes are quirky and fun while Mob Psycho has more of a continuous story. I found both shows hilarious but Mob Psycho to have more unexpected situations. Comedic anime fans will love both shows.
These two are very similar in the foundation of the characters and their interactions. Both have an op psychic protagonists who attract wacky characters, which leads to funny interactions and situations. The biggest difference is that mob psycho has an actual serious plotline, but saiki focuses solely on the comedic aspect. Aside from the fact that both protagonists are psychic they don't have much in common personality wise as well tbh.

So can two things be any more similar than this, well as far as we're talking about the main leads I can bet you it can't.
Saiki in The disastrous life of Saiki-K and Shigeo in Mob psycho 100, they both have psychic powers, which obviously they aren't very fond of. But this will lead them on a journey to be acquainted with many and many different individuals, which will open a path for them to break out of their shell and to lead a normal, usual way of living which they certainly dreamt of at some point of time.

They are both animes featuring the mc gifted with psychic powers. Both mc are overpowered but unpopular. Saiki k and Mob Psycho are both really funny shows which can easily make you laugh. The biggest difference is that I'd say Mob Psycho is mainly action while Saiki K is a comedy show.
Both main characters are psychic/have psychic powers and both are funny comedy anime :)
Recommending Saiki K. for fans of Mob Psycho 100 feels a little redundant at this point; after all, I'm the 50th person to do so. But you can't go wrong with fifty recommendations - these shows are remarkably similar, with the only real difference being the style of humor. MP100 is more plot-oriented, while Saiki K. is gag-based shorts. Still, they're pretty much the same show, and if you like one, I can't imagine why you wouldn't like the other.
They are both comedy animes about an overpowered psychic. Saiki K is a more relaxed and casual approach and doesn't have all the emotional aspects that mob psycho aces, so it's great if you are searching for a fun and lighthearted anime.

Whenever I have anyone show interest in Mob Psycho, I always recommend The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. The concept itself of a young male lead with some form of enahnced power is alike for both series. While Mob Psycho generally focuses on its underlying plot point, it does also depict day-to-day experiences of its significant characters. As with Saiki K, each episode displays a slice of life aspect to the viewers involving various adversities and conflicts between the characters. While the goals of each main character differ from the other, the challenges they face are similar as they both struggle with forms of social

It has the same high-school setting, and both main characters are espurr's who have their fair share of struggles in their own life due to their powers. Both characters want a normal life, in addition, there are also quirky side characters in both anime that create funny and uncomfortable situations. This is a great anime if you want a show similar to Mob Psycho but is less serious and funnier with some slice of life.

Little guys with psychic powers! Both are hilarious to watch while still keeping some aspects of action involved. In Saiki K, the main character is more annoyed with his powers and puts in great efforts to hide them, while in Mob Psycho the main character doesn't really care and works for a silly conman. All of the characters are so fun to watch I love both of these animes!! They're great for some light binging or even entertainment while eating dinner.
super powerful psychics and their chaotic lives...
