\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was taking beam profiles at work on Monday when suddenly, I just had<\/em> to watch the new opening<\/a> of Nichijou. \u00a0When I looked it up just now, I watched it six times before I could tear myself away from Youtube. \u00a0That makes fifteen views today.<\/p>\n

I managed to get through my entire Nichijou screenshot folder while looking for a header picture. \u00a0I can vividly remember each scene\/screenshot and I burst out laughing several times.<\/p>\n

But enough of how much I like Nichijou. \u00a0On to something more interesting: how much I LOVE<\/strong><\/span> Nichijou.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nichijou is the first anime I’ve ever fanboyed over. \u00a0While I can see why some people wouldn’t immediately love the comedy with all of their heart and soul, I can also see that this style of random humor is everything I’ve ever dreamed and hoped for in an anime. \u00a0It’s Hayate getting a 3LDK, with an extra room to boot. \u00a0It’s Sena going on to win the Super Bowl. \u00a0It’s not as good as Mikoto showing up in real life. \u00a0But hell, it’s up there.<\/p>\n

If Eureka Seven<\/strong> is my all-time favorite anime and Welcome to the NHK<\/strong> is my anti-drug, then Nichijou<\/strong> is my idea of a fun time.<\/p>\n

I’m in a love hotel on Saturday night with beautiful naked women all over me. \u00a0W-Wait, what? \u00a0it’s SATURDAY NIGHT? \u00a0That’s when NICHIJOU SUBS COME OUT! \u00a0I must have failed horribly at life to forget that NICHIJOU comes out on Saturday night!<\/p>\n

I’m in a “important meeting” with my boss. \u00a0He’s promoting me to CEO, and I just have to sign this pa- SHIT, IT’S SATURDAY-FUCKING-NIGHT and I’m at WORK? \u00a0Signing some stupid useless scrap of paper? \u00a0I’d better jump out the window, hijack a car, and run all the red lights until I get home!<\/p>\n

I’m in the White House, shaking hands with the President. \u00a0A nearby aide is holding two medals for my dedicated service to the country, humanity, and Nichijou. \u00a0Huh? \u00a0NICHIJOU? \u00a0HOT DAMN, IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT AND I’M NOT WATCHING NICHIJOU?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Nichijou is so damn hilarious that even the stills between the shorts are laugh-out-loud\/clutch-stomach-in-pain\/near-heart-attack funny.<\/p><\/div>\n

What’s even better is how Kyoto Animation is able to keep up such a high level of quality for so long. \u00a0And yes, I do mean Kyoto Animation, the company that is making all of this possible. \u00a0I read some of the manga earlier this week and although it is superb, the anime feels like an even better adaptation.<\/p>\n

So yeah. \u00a0I really love this show. \u00a0Anime-wise, Nichijou is the best thing that’s happened to me in two years. \u00a0I can’t recall a single airing anime that I’ve enjoyed so much. \u00a0At 16\/24 episodes, it’s #3 on my all-time favorite anime list and still clawing for #2.<\/p>\n

And I know it’s going to get there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

P.S.: I can see how many fans of the manga would dislike the anime, though. \u00a0Though the humor is still the same (the anime jokes are pulled from the manga, after all), the manga is -surprisingly – less random. \u00a0Each chapter shows one scene with multiple gags. \u00a0The humor is constant and consistent and overall it’s a lot more streamlined. \u00a0The punchline-less moments the Nichijou anime has become [in]famous for aren’t present in the manga.<\/p>\n

Yet it’s the combination of funny gags and punchline-less gags that makes the anime so memorable for me. \u00a0In my opinion, animating Nichijou has been one hell of a job for KyoAni. \u00a0I am much, much more than pleased with the result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
