What is life? One could describe it as a series of events that we take for granted. Nichijou (My Ordinary Life) displays just that. It shows the everyday things in life we take for granted and some of the first-world problems we have everyday, but in a overdramatized, comedic fashion. This anime has all the characteristics of a slice of life anime and a comedy. Sorry, I just woke up, too, so please excuse the blandness and errors of the review.
Story - 9/10
Nichijou's story is an interesting one because of the fact it has no linear story. Each episode will showcase one or two events in a characters day. This makes for comedy gold due to some of the hilarious situations a character can get into, such as doodling a private picture in a notebook that they forgot to erase, and then letting a friend borrow it.
Art - 10/10
The art style of Nichijou is unique, and can't be described with any other word than awesome. The way things are illustrated makes the events that more dramatic.
Sound - 8/10
The Nichijou OST isn't the best, but it is good. Most likely, you won't hear a song that you'd download on your iPod and listen to (this excludes the OP and ED). The show has 2 kickass OPs, and the EDs are lighthearted and sound nice.
Characters - 10/10
Shit, I don't know why, but this is the one part of the review I'm seeming to struggle with. I'm finding it hard to conjure up the right words to describe the characters of Nichjjou because they are so damn unique. I'm sure many would disagree with me on that, but the fact that the characters can be so average seeming at one point, and then hyper as fuck is what makes it unique.
Overall - tenouttaten
Nichijou is a great anime and I definitely recommend it. It's one of my favorites (wow so bias) and it will most certainly be forever. If you have any criticism please tell me on my profile! Thanks!
