It's like Azumanga, Lucky star, and Pani Poni combined.

Nice first ep.

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 :))

It's cute and funny but I'm not in love with it yet. Hopefully it'll grow on me as the eps go on. :)

The only thing that annoys me is Mio's hair-tie... things... :S

Awesome first episode. Loved both the OP and ED :D
All the characters are great so far (LOL at the goat riding guy XD). Plus I can really relate to everything (well all right, not the stuff raining down, but wanting to pull the fire alarm, etc.) and there were things that were just so FUNNY XD
Cute art, everyone is just too cute lol :3
Really looking forward to the next episode ^_^

I decided to watch this show since it is a KyoAni show. And it is a pretty good show to start. A good start for the main characters, Mio and Yuuko. BTW I think Yuuko is an idiot but she's hella funny!!! I would like her and that Robot girl. Her and her professor (whom I thought was her sister) made some funny segments. So far that robot is my favorite so far in the show.

I can relate this show to another comedic anime called Azumanga Daioh and has a mix with Lucky Star as well. I love both shows, so I would continue on watching this one. The first episode is alright to say. It has it's funny moments. But I can't wait for episode 2 next week :)

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
This was the first time I saw something that awesome since.. I dunno XD
KyoAni just mixed together Azumanga Daiou and Pani Poni Dash and did their best in doing so. Man, the first episod is as awesome as K-ON!! special and if they'll keep it that awesome for the rest of the episodes,then the only thing left for us is to rejoice 8D

Totally agree with you, it was alright..
The goat part was the funniest, apart from that it wasn't really funny. But, lets hope it turns out for the better
Let's see what this series will bring in the coming months.

Couldn’t really see anything special, even if KyoAni’s quality is top-notch. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would, hopefully I can come to like it in later episodes.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I absolutely love slice of life anime, but Nichijou is stunningly average.

I'd watched the OVA, and found it pretty meh, so I was hoping this would better.

Disappointed.

Enjoyed the first episode, it was adorable and hysterical. The animation is very vivid, vibrant and beautiful, the background feels like a really nice color book and the characters were simple and adorable.

I laughed a lot during this first episode and can't wait to see more!

Meh.

As 4koma gag-manga go, I can read and enjoy them. And I enjoed this too, but it didnt grab me by the balls or anything.

I suppose it's late and I'm falling asleep here, but, I dont know, an odd chuckle here and a bit of a giggle there.

I'll watch another and see what I think!

"Selamat pagi." "Selamat malam." What kind of languages are that? xD
The flying food thingy is pretty funny. I laughed hard on that scene.
And Yuuko got a gun!
...I love the ending theme. :D

As someone that really doesn't like this kind of anime, I'm really getting a kick out of it.

Especially halfway through with the kid with the goat. Oh god. He makes me think of Keima from Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai.

This is one of the best animes I've seen this year, it's funny as hell. I like the guy yelling about the goat, the random explosions, flying food, and the detatchable toe that's a usb stick xD

This. It's a bit too whack even by my standard.

Then again, most 4-koma-style comedies don't get interesting until you know all the characters. So we need more episode. But I was so bored I need to watch something else in the meanwhile....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.
