Nichijou set a high bar with its unique blend of absurdity and heart, and its impact on the genre is still felt today. The show’s ability to combine seemingly mundane situations with completely off-the-wall humor is something that’s hard to top.

Do you think there’s a possibility for a new series to come along and take the crown?

I have already seen many better, like:

Azumanga Daioh
Jashin-chan Dropkick
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan
Tenchi Souzou Design-bu
Yuru Yuri

bro's just salty because nokotan is better so he makes this thread about some fucking moe blob anime that was so unpopular that it sold less than chainsaw man. As always, you are a petty individual who can't have fun.

All the "funny" clips of Nichijou I've seen on youtube didn't make me laugh, not even smile.

I could only watch 2 episodes from Nichijou before my brain burned out. I prefer these series when it comes to gag humor:
Azumanga
Gintama
Binbougami
Panty & Stocking
Prison School
Mashle

Prison school's humour shits on this anime. I know humour is subjective, but I genuinely don't understand how people consider this anime to be the funniest ever

@Catalano Nichijou isn't the funniest but it's definitely not worse than this heavy dose of brainrot

This Season's V-tuber is hysterical & being slept on. Even if it is not your thing, check it out. Unhinged is best description I can give it. Also, it is actually fun.

It's been a long time since I watched it, but Nichijou was always my favorite. Some have come very close (Yuyushiki, D-Frag, Yuru Yuri, Danshi Koukou, among others), but I recently watched Joshikousei no Mudazukai and found it to be the closest for me. Might possibly have enjoyed it more but couldn't say for sure (like I said, it's been a long time).

Personally I don't think there's much of a point in comparing them because at the end of the day if you got some good laughs out of it then it was worth watching.

Try Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro. It's worth it.
I have already read some reply where Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro was missing so I thought to include this as well.

Well there are plenty of good ones

Saiki K
Gintama
Uramichi-Onisan as a more recent example
Osomatsu-san which is massive in Japan
Mashle
Gugure! Kokkoru Chan
Paniponidash
Azumanga Daoih
Sakamoto desu ga?

I've not actually seen Nichijou but have seen some funny clips But I tend not to watch cute girl anime if possible. Honestly there needs to be way more gag male anime. (I plan to watch Play it cool boys soon)

Nichijou is literally Azumanga for zoomers.
A lousy copycat, as anything other from KyoAni.

Also, ban Dragetard already. We don't need ChatGPT bots here. Live people are able to shitpost by themselves. Boring bots are not needed.

@Zackkhan They definitely do since it floods the top 100, I just think most aren't bothered to watch it. Even outside of MAL its known as very funny but yeah just not talked about as much as big shonen anymore

Nichijou definitely is a great show and I still regard it as one of the funniest i've seen however i've seen a few shows that I think reach the same level of comedy that Nichijou did. Of course, humour is subjective so these might not be everyones cup of tea but for me they're very funny shows:

Sakamoto desu ga?
Handa-Kun
Tanaka-kun wa itsumo Kedaruge
The Working!! series

I also think That one deer anime nobodies heard of is really funny (except ep 6, ep 6 was bad imo) but for me, Nichijou is better. Just remember to turn your brain off when you watch it lol.

only reason i didn't drop nichijou was because of the animation. otherwise i've found gintama, golden boy, panty and stocking, school rumble, and even osomatsu-san better. lucky star probably deserves a mention just for the lucky channel segments alone.

Surpassing Nichijou is easy, you need to set the bar higher.

@Nemo_Niemand I don't know what you think they have to do with each other beyond being schoolgirl comedies. Azumanga Daioh features gentle, character-based humour, Nichijou's humour is based on a combination of overreaction and underreaction.

I was never a big fan of gag comedy anime because I tend to take my anime very seriously.

If Nichijou the best that gag comedies can offer, then there is no hope for this genre.
