I live by the three second rule. Seriously.

That was pretty funny, although I didn't find myself laughing a whole lot... It was the kind of thing that is amusing, but doesn't make you laugh out loud. The only thing that got me to chuckle was the sausage flying through the guys hair (It slipped through!!), the blue haired girl actually believing her and pushing the fire alarm and her shooting the frisbee with a shotgun just as the dog tried to get it.

An amazing first episode! I love the animation, the OP / ED are great! I really enjoy the randomness and hilarious moments.

The scene with the lunchbox was great, as were many other parts of the episode. I look forward to watching future episodes, because this series seems very promising.

Even more Ridiculous than the OVA, the school shooting was kind of funny better that the boy killed revived instantly. Lots of guns in this anime for a heartwarming and relaxing slice of life. Hikase is just as cute as ever.

I approve of this completely and await the next episode.

5/5

I like the characters, but the jokes were a bit hit and miss for me.
Very nice anmiation though, and the pacing was better than in the OVA.

I love everything about Nichijou already. I was sold with the explosion at the beginning and the awesome opening. It's cute, funny, random. Great animation, art, soundtrack, opening, ending. Epic three second rule moment. Thumbs up.

Bit hit and miss but I loved all the parts with the robot girl in it. The animation is top notch too. I'll trust in KyoAni, I wasn't too into Lucky Star at first but it turned into one of my favourite series.

Anyone else think this was like Azumanga meets Hidamari meets Pani Poni Dash?

Was gonna say this myself. Surprised it took till page 3 for someone else to point it out.
^Yeah me too... I thought that voice actor is much better for Keima than the original voice actor XDD

Anyway, I was blown away with the animation XDD Totally reminds me of Azumanga Daioh :D Pure randomness here I come XD

What a solid first episode. Being a fan of slice of life and randomness this show really delivers what I desire lol. One of the first things I noticed after watching this, was that it’s the first time I was overly amused (i.e. laughing in my tiny room all alone) by EVERY scene/section in a slice of life comedy. If I wasn’t a KyoAni fanboy before this (I was..), I definitely sold my soul just now. Kyuubey happened to be around. ^_^

Holy shit this anime is hilarious.

The part where the robot girl (i think her name is Nano?) runs into that guy and creates an exaggerated explosion made me lol.

When Yuuko was trying to catch that fried octopus...oh my god. Pure awesome and just fucking HILARIOUS!

Can't forget about that random ass grim reaper. The voice actor for him was really fitting. Too bad it doesn't seem to be a recurring character.

Animation reminds me of K-On and Lucky Star a lot. It's also a slice of life comedy anime like it too. I have high expectations for this anime!

This show is pretty fucking random. O__O

Even among all the random ass shows I've seen so far, this ranks up there. That said I still mostly enjoyed this episode. Some of the comedy felt forced, some of it felt natural, and some of it didn't matter because it was just damn funny. I'm interested enough to keep watching on an episode by episode basis until I either love or hate this thing.

I think it's still in the beginning of the manga, so Hakase may not have Sakamono-san at this moment.

That scene alone destroyed my expectations up to that point. A wide range of art intensity in an overdramatic situation? It worked perfectly. Definitely brought the scene to life.

Also, the eyecatches caught me off guard. They and a couple other little things made this episode pretty enjoyable.

this was such a great episode, when i watched the first part before the OP i wasnt so sure of this anime, but from this episode i think this is a definite one to watch, i loved the animation in the octopus-sausage catching part the animators did an excellent job with that one.

I didn't think it could get worse than the OVA in terms of boringness. I guess I was wrong.

This show is a bit too random and considering I LOVE Azumanga Daioh and PaniPoni Dash (which is probably the weirdest, most random show you can find) and that I'm usually very easy to please, the fact that I'm not overly amused with Nichijou says something, since this show resembles so much of the aforementioned ones.

I think the show tries too hard to be funny and as a result, most jokes fall flat. The few moments where I did laugh or slightly chuckle were few and far between. The animation is gorgeous, but beautiful animation does not necessarily a good show make, as proven here.

It rapidly shoots a ton of random jokes to you. Even it's hit and miss, you still take a lot (that's why most people review it as "pretty hilarious" in any site)

As for myself, I watch it together with my friends so they give tons more of fuel to the humor, resulting in a totally hilarious episode.

Plus, I guess I'm the only one here who're laughing totally hard by "Selamat pagi" (I don't expect KyoAni to adapt that joke in manga, lol)...since I'm Indonesian :p (and so do my friends)

4/5 >>> 5/5 due to some subjective experiences :))
