Here is what I like about it:
Saiki, when faced with difficult situations, maintains his composure and and takes his time to think. He then carries out the plan with responsibility and care. As the matter of fact almost all the characters do this in all kinds of situations. This might be easily overlooked but the fact is it's astonishing how much improvement could be brought to life if we stopped to think and yet how we far too easily forget about this precious superpower!
This show portraits Japanese etiquette all the time. It is great to see how much care the characters take in their mannerism and behavior. That, it matters to be polite and to avoid hurting people's feelings unnecessarily.
It also reveals some other aspects of Japanese culture such as preferring uncrowded yet very appealing and cosy interior designs, performing social duties, paying attention to details and valuing education.
But most importantly, with this you can travel back and experience being you when you were younger and remember how a lot of things felt back then. For instance, to remember what it is to love your parents, grandparents and friends as a kid, to timidly experience romance as a teenager and to be carefree ;)
It also makes you laugh even if you don't want to!
