My Ordinary Life

This is my #1 anime comedy of all time. However it is a very hit or miss anime. Its combination of action scenes with humor is sometimes a turnoff for some people. And it has a lot of slapstick humor so i can see why some people would not like it. That being said i think that everyone should at least try the first couple episodes and here's why.

1. The characters are so damn cute. Honestly I don't think i have ever seen cuter in any anime. For example the professor (the little 8 year old wearing a tie) is cute in both her animation and her voice actor. And shes not the only one. Everyone in the anime including the teachers are like that. Even the freaking cat's (Sakamoto) voice and animation are perfect.
2. The story line... ok there is not much of a story line here, its more like short little skits that last no more than five minutes. I mean there is a little story but that's not the focus of the anime. It tries to get u to laugh and for me it really did.
3. The silly love scenes gone crazy. Those types of things usually are not for me i don't like it and will not watch it. But the way that they do it is amazing. They make the scenes so funny and crazy and... i don't know i can't explain it. It just works.

That's why i loved it and i would highly recommend the entire series so at the very least try the anime and see if you like the humor. Thanks for reading!

This anime is nothing short of amazing to me. I have no knowledge of the base manga, had no expectations for it besides the animation to be KyoAni-thoughtful / -beautiful... but like other past KyoAni hits, it changes your perception of why you watch anime in the first place.

Nichijou's first trump card I feel, is its pacing -- all the skits (what I call those sub-mini story arcs) *feel* like you're reading a yon-koma manga... like a bite-size Snickers, a satisfying burst of one flavor combo, but just enough to crave experiencing the next mouthful. And so it goes throughout this series -- no plot but what's established in the skit, with ample red thread joining all the characters explicitly and (what's really fun to re-watch for) implicitly. Just like in real life, the endings show little mini skits of slices of their lives, as they go through their day in the same small town... while simultaneously oblivious to everyone but the viewer who's paying attention enough.

The second, is its gorgeous, full-of-attention-to-detail animation. Some of these you only get to see for literally tenths of a second on screen, which proves how into anime the wizards at KyoAni are. The way Nano's hair and face move a bit when she closes a sliding door, to intricate speed lines changing direction perfectly as Takasaki-sensei tries to rush to Nakanojo's aid, and on and on and on. For me, it's animation-attention-to-detail-moe, and few anime, even cinema-budget ones from big names, evoke that in me. Think the prop-bicycle sequence in 'Kiki's Delivery Service', or the think-tank-attack sequence in 'Ghost In The Shell', or any of the action sequences in 'FLCL'... gorgeous, difficult animation, but done right enough to evoke respect. And Nichijou scores on this short list many times in its quite full-length run, which is even more impressive.

But my favorite part, is how this anime taps into the everyday Japanese, as well. While the outlandish stuff is par for course, it's the truly everyday details that charm and fascinate me about life in Japan. They're lavished with just the right amount of care, that you feel even closer to the characters as a result (much more so, than an anime it's often compared to, 'Azumanga Daioh').

KyoAni regales in its track record for making hits out of any material it chooses (if not so much how to deal with the consequences... but as with anything the process continues after lessons learned). This anime proves there is something deeper at work than simple talent and desire for success at KyoAni. There is virtuosity in this anime, and I only half-joke about the over-the-top-ness of that. Easily 5 of 5 stars.

This is quite possibly the most hilarious show out there! There are so many awkward moments that somehow make you laugh. And I know I'm not describing it well, but that's the best way I can give the feeling. I mean, there's a tsundere that shoots heavy artillery at the guy she likes! And that's just the beginning of the insanity this show employs! Plus, it has Hyadain singing the Openings! Which are simply amazing to listen to! If you enjoy comedies of any sort, this is a must watch. There are so many moments on this show that just can never be forgotten. And no matter how many times I see it, I can't help but laugh like crazy throughout!

So, please, do yourself a favor, and watch this. You will not be disappointed!

If you're looking for a serious anime, get lost. If you're looking for a romantic lovestory, you're in the wrong section of crunchyroll. If you're looking for an anime to watch just because you can, welcome my fellow anime lover, you're in the right place!

The story revolves around a mischievous little girl that's a professor, a robot girl that's self conscious about being a robot, a wise yet cranky cat, and three school girls that somehow make going to school a pleasant thing to do. The funny part about My Ordinary Life, there's nothing freaken "ordinary" about it! Each story displays a person's life and the hilariousness around. Just wait till they blend them together, you'll probably end up in the hospital from laughing too hard!

I don't know what I was expecting to get from Nichijou. A few laughs, sure. Maybe even some food for thought. Whatever it was that I was looking for, though, I certainly wasn't prepared for what I got. And honestly, I'm skeptical of anyone who hasn't read the manga and says they knew what they were getting into.

If you're new to this series or you want to introduce it to someone, maybe you shouldn't bother with words. Watch the commercial for the OVA, let it lure you in for your taste for slice of life, then go see Episode One (the OVA is a little slow and not necessary for the rest of the series).

There will be a point within the first ten minutes or so at which I suggest you pause the video and go to your freezer. You'll need the ice for your whiplash. Once you're feeling better, go back and finish the episode.

And don't think the twists stop there. Nichijou has a lot of laughs for sure, but there's also a little bit of everything else. You want slapstick? Coming right up. Want adorability that will make you squeal like a little/littler girl? But of course! Want to see a goat get slammed into the pavement by a blue-haired high school girl on an embarrassment-fueled rampage? Well...okay, can do, but maybe take your medicine first?

So the series didn't sell all that well. Maybe the OVA is slow and a little boring. Nichijou still deserves a chance. Go ahead and give it that chance. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Well, what can I say? I'm a sucker for slice of life. And this series, though it has action-y moments, is slice of life. What makes this series so... addictive, though, is it's amazingly unpredictable scenes. You've got just normal high-schooly crushes in one scene, then you see guns and salmon and the principal wrestling a deer and next thing you know, you have no idea what the crap is happening. Sure, it might not be an "ordinary" life they're living, but that's why this show is so awesome.
