Decay Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I really mean it. On kissanime Nichijou is an adaptation of a 4-panel gag manga, yet a two-cour series with half hour episodes. Somehow, this isn't a total disaster but one of the funniest anime series of all time, perhaps the best comedy of the last five years. It's one of the most absurd, irreverent shows out there, but this isn't your standard lolrandom bullshit. It is excellently written with expert comedic timing. The show consists primarily of high school girls doing funny things but this isn't some girly stuff nor is it cutesy moe crap. This is humor for everyone. All ages and genders are welcome here. Each episode consists of numerous shorts ranging from 30 seconds to several minutes each (3-5 minutes is standard), but there are often themes or running gags in each episode, along with a really loose over-arching story running throughout the series. It is beautifully animated by Kyoani, with a budget that is way higher than a show of its type has any right to having. Watch Nichijou. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5TfUkRr7Qs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Nichijou is pretty cool. That's all I have to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heizei_koukousei Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The deer was the best character in this entire anime Stray Cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceris Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Apparently I must be a hindrance to the world for thinking most of it is boring stuff (besides several select scenes) IMO you can get almost the full experience (if not a better one) from clips on YouTube, where you'll get just the funny scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Major Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ahh, Nichijou. This has to be my favorite scene in the entire series right here. There's not even much to it, but It just cracks me up every time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RcteZjj_QA Also this scene. Mai is pretty much the best at Red Light Green Light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLbzltCtALs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Mai is the best character. She is the ultimate troll. What? There's people who haven't watched Nichijou? This is why we have problems in this world. If this thread can get just one more person to watch Nichijou, then I will consider my life a success.

Tatsujin Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 except that I dropped this at episode 4 ... or at least I put it on hold. Really funny stuff, but now isn't the time for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vemocleus Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Best comedy series of anything, anywhere, ever. I have far too many favorite scenes to actually put up any. I dub some of the best of scenes "Mai Moments", for reasons that should be obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I guess this type of humor isn't for everyone, I watched those youtube clips that you guys posted and didn't find them fanny at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibril Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Never seen Gintama, don't think I will for a long time. TBH Gintama level of comedy is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *infinity*>>>>>>>>>>> Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nichijou > *insert high tier comedy animes* > other animes.

phersu Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 You should watch +Tic Nee-san. It's hilarious. You might recognize pics from it. Like that guy who explodes his clothes, shoots a bra at that thug, and thrusts his hips at them enthusiastically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Cat Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Probably my favorite comedy anime. I've seen the clips hundreds of times and they can still make me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirjabberwock Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I have a feeling I should show Nichijou to my friends to get them into anime. It's very funny :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epeldoll Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 What? There's people who haven't watched Nichijou? This is why we have problems in this world. Sorry I'm one of them. But I've seen the first and second episode. And since I was more or liked inspired by this thread, maybe I should continue it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nichijou was cool, can be boring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4n3t Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 For me the problem with Nichijou is... most of the time it's rather boring. Yet there are at least 1-2 scenes each episode that make it totally worth watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
