Where to watch
Synopsis
In the whimsical comedy Psychic Kusuo, released in 2017, we follow the life of high schooler Kusuo Saiki, who is burdened with an extraordinary gift: he can read minds, move objects with his thoughts, and even predict the future. Despite these impressive powers, Kusuo longs for a normal, quiet existence, far removed from the chaos that comes with being the most powerful psychic in the world. Unfortunately, his dreams of a serene high school life are constantly thwarted by the eccentric personalities of his classmates, each of whom seems determined to drag him into their bizarre antics.
As Kusuo navigates the challenges of adolescence, we see how his unique abilities shape his interactions with a colorful cast of characters, including the overly enthusiastic Riki Nendou, who remains blissfully unaware of Kusuo's psychic prowess, and the enigmatic Kokomi Teruhashi, who believes she is the center of the universe. The film brilliantly explores themes of friendship, identity, and the struggle for normalcy in a world filled with absurdity. With its lighthearted humor and relatable character dynamics, Psychic Kusuo offers a charming mix of supernatural elements and everyday teenage drama, making it a delightful watch for anyone in search of a good laugh wrapped in a fantastical premise.
