(1) Humor
There is never a dull moment. The show uses hyperbole and over-the-top animation to drive home some jokes, and deadpan dullness for others. It's extremely experimental and a lot of skits are hit or miss. But luckily, the show is a collection of skits, and if one of the skits happens to be a miss, you only have to wait 1-6 minutes before the show moves on to a completely different skit. It's fast-paced and funny, which is a great combination because the laughs never stop coming.
(2) Art
The character design is so simplistic that you wouldn't think that this show would get a great deal of praise for is art. Yet, every frame is near perfection. The amount of work that went into the animation of the show is visible in a lot of skits. It's not often you see animation as good as Nichijou's used in a comedy show, especially so often.
And even though the animation is already top-quality, the backgrounds and still shots are equally amazing. The art is simply beautiful and transitions are done by beautifully drawn images of some background, like an apartment complex, a field with a lake, or an elevator. Overall, its some of the most beautiful animation/art I've ever seen in an animated show.
(3) Characters
The show is incredibly cute and fun and the characters are unique. Within the second half of the show, some serious efforts are made to make so semblance of character development, and its actually really touching. Though the show is primarily a comedy, it is able to touch other emotions as well, and overall is an extremely heartwarming show. The characters are also extremely cute and fun, making the show just fun to watch overall.
The rewatch value of Nichijou is infinite. Since the skits have almost no ties between them, they can be watched in any order and still be hilarious, meaning that any episode can be rewatched at any time for some laughs.
I highly, highly recommend this show. Normally I feel as though a lot of humor is lost through subtitles because comedic timing is inherently lost, but Nichijou still manages to be downright hilarious.
