Story: 7/10
Although there is no real constant plot, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou does not fail to implement various, entertaining scenarios. Each skit is not too short and most importantly catches my interest. Laughing at a bunch of mischievous boys doing the most uncanny things, what else do you want from an anime with this title!? Also, each skit contributes to future skits in later episodes which is probably the only connection between the episodes.
Art: 9/10
I have to admit, at first the art was not extremely appealing to me - the background is usually quite bland, colors don't stand out, and character designs were typical, and some minor characters (mostly females) didn't even have faces drawn. However, after delving deeper into the show, I found that each character was uniquely drawn. By the end of the anime, you may be referring to the characters by "that guy with that hat" or the "dark-skinned blond guy"! Another great thing which I loved about the art was the FACIAL EXPRESSION. My god, the overemphasis of their reactions are priceless and send me to a hysterical trance every. single. time.
Sound: 7/10
The sound is just average. They don't really stand out but on some occasions, the background music does bring laughter. This is because certain skits have a specific soundtrack and whenever the music pops up again and that skit made you laugh before, you'll have a smile on your face and nothing has even happened yet!
Character: 8/10
All of the characters are funny. Although some of the them may have stereotypical "comedy character" personalities, traits, etc., the other various characters balance it out. Most of the characters are males; however, near the end of some episodes there will be a short skit involving female characters who do contribute to the main story. Some of them are annoying, especially the voices, but that does't detract the laughter. If you are looking for dynamic characters then this anime may not be for you. I did not see any dramatic changes in the characters so if you were looking for a character you could relate to who becomes a better version of himself, eh... sorry.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I can certainly say I enjoyed this anime. I looked forward to it whenever a new episode came out. It was so enjoyable I had to write a review for it years later! Although comedy anime is usually a love or hate, I don't think it's even possible to hate this anime unless you don't like skits and prefer an actual plot.
Overall, despite not having a perfect score on any criteria except enjoyment, I gave this anime a whooping 10/10. Why? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed every single second I spent watching this show instead of doing homework or getting outside to get some sunlight. I re-watched it a second time when I introduced it to my friends for goodness' sake! If by the end of this review this anime still doesn't intrigue you, eh... what can I do? I'm just saying you're going to be missing out! If you watched the first episode and still aren't hooked, I guess it's just not for you. Comedy is subjective and I guess you'll find better laughter in some other anime.
