Nichijou

This show is excellent.

Nichijou represents the pinnacle of Kyotoani's talents.

It is understandable why Nichijou has such high ratings on IMDb and other sites.

It may not have sold well but it is undoubtedly one of the greatest anime series of all time.

If you are a fan of either comedy or anime there is no reason for you to not pick this one up.

Nichijou is a delightful, relateable and hilarious show with a high production value and terrific music. Give it a watch or you'll regret it.

WOW

I rarely write reviews but when I have to, I do.

This show is amazing since the beginning. Lately I've been watching a lot of anime and I've found amazing stuff, last week I stumbled upon Kobayashi-san chi no Maid Dragon and I couldn't stop watching it, so I asked around my friends who know more about anime and one told me about this piece of gold show. He showed me a couple of youtube clips and I was amazed. So I wen't straight to it and I was hooked so badly, I watched 13 episodes in a row.

I don't even know how to start talking about what I watched, at the beginning it gave me the impression that it was going to be a "Funky Forest" experience, with all the clips unrelated and all the craziness going on, but the story starts to shape from the pieces and it's done with mastery. The writing and timing of the story it's life-like and perfect so you can just dig into the show slowly until you totally love it.

The animation is amazing too, I love how they have all the references to everything that's been drawn, I laughed at a Tintin reference that is so funny and subtle at the same time that I had to pause that episode. There are some cuts that are mere poetry (and the good kind too), all the dreamy parts are amazing, and the action scenes are so full of movement it's incredible, the constant contrast between the ordinary and the extraordinary are very well done.

I just enjoyed how every character is developed, how real the girls feel like, how the animal's personalities are portrayed, and the interactions between character are very cautiously set together, that the show feels so real no matter how crazy the situations in it are developing.

It's divided in two parts and the second one becomes a little more serious than the first one, it's when everything starts making sense (in a way) and it takes a little more intelligence (I think) to understand what's going on and put the pieces together, and if the first part was amazing, the second one is just filled with miracles and it's built perfectly that when the last episode comes, it's joy coming out of the viewer's mind.

It's filled with running gags, great music and catchy songs, and so full of happiness that looks simple, but it's made with pure genius, I love how this was made. It is a must watch,

I didn't know nothing about Kyoto Animation but with this show in their history, I'm going to watch everything they've ever done. And I need the manga this show is based on, immediately

11 out of 5 stars, this is amazing and I can't believe I'm alive and watching this, I am so grateful right now with everyone involved in this, my heart pounds like a stampede... calm down my cowboy, Bill Watts!

Bought it on Blu-ray as I love a good slice-of-life anime, and I heard that it was like Azumanga Daioh, which I loved... for some reason.

For a few episodes I was worried I wasn't going to like it as much as I thought, as at first I didn't find it that funny and it seemed a bit childish, but no, I ended up loving it.

There were many times I laughed out loud, the humour was surreal as hell, the characters were cool, and the whole thing was very entertaining as well as beautifully animated. And while it may seem like it at first, it's definitely not a kids show.

I'd recommend it, but it might be a bit weird at first to people who aren't familiar with anime.

Nichijou is, without a single doubt, one of the best slice of life made in the long history of slice of life.

Its action-packed over-exaggerations of everyday life will undoubtedly keep all audiences in the edge of their seats, not knowing what sort of crazy antic will the show pull off right in front of them, be it a rigged carnival game, a deer attack or even an atomic bomb.

The story itself is seemingly simple; it follows the daily life of fellow classmates Yukko, Mio and Mai, paralleled by the (not so) peaceful Shinonome household. While the main characters are undoubtedly robust, the show also brings a variety of supporting characters, all equally unique and lovable to an extensive degree.

Many of the gags are easily understandable and fun to laugh at, though there are some jokes that rely heavily on the knowledge of Japanese culture (most notably the 'Helvetica Standard' segments). Though its intense energy in its presentation would surely give you a good chuckle regardless, even if the references don't exactly make sense immediately.

The animation and voice acting further increases the level of intensity that Nichijou has to offer, with each frame giving the biggest impact, along with every voice lines being delivered with utmost passion from each voice actors.

Overall, if you are a fan of slice of life, comedy, anime or even just a random passerby, Nichijou is an absolute recommendation, which will guarantee you, in the best scenario, an abundance of laughter and heartfelt joy, while in the worst case scenario, a few chuckle.

I don't watch Anime a lot, and I'm not particularly into Anime, but this show blew my mind in so many ways. It is, in my opinion, perfection.

The animation, the characters, the bizarre editing style and humor (which is genius, because it melds slice of life with super expressive over-exaggerated action anime) the music (holy smokes, the music is fantastic) and the story / skits; everything worked great.

I love the 3 main characters, their chemistry is excellent, and they are very funny when they are together. The side characters, Nano, the Professor, and Mr. Sakamoto is one of the most fascinating character dynamics I've ever seen, I love every second of their story-line, it is a super unique trio of characters.

This is a super under-rated show. Why? Because not many people know about it, and when it was released, it didn't find much success. Some of the clips get millions of views, and I happen to learn about it from a YouTube video about it, but it needs more love, and more watch time. It is very sad to know that a second season won't come to light because of how poorly it did financially.

I hope the animators and the people who worked on this show know that there is a loving fan-base that adores and supports their show, and I hope they do great things with their talents. Please watch this show!
