I'll start right off the bat and say that what I loved most was the characters. In my many years of watching anime, many shows have come close, however none can touch the amount of likable and hilarious characters Nichijou provided with. A few of the things I liked and loved about the characters was that each of them "as the shows title gives it away" live their own unique daily lives. However, no life can be complete without any problems or distress, and that's were comedy comes in. I really enjoyed how even though the characters were in either really ridiculous or bad situations their was always something hilarious or heartwarming to lighten my mood.
Another thing I loved about the cast of characters was their personalities. Personality, Personality in character is something that helps you decide whether you like a character or not, (in my opinion of course.) In Nichijou there were too many characters with certain personalities that I could either relate to or enjoyed seeing which really earned the show some respect points from me.
Now, with the story, it was there, however like some slice of life shows, Nichijou doesn't actually have any specific story.. to say the least. It's again, just what you expect from the title a bunch of moe characters living an somewhat ordinary life.
Some things that I did like about the somewhat existent story was that there was always some sort of moral or lesson behind certain things that took place during the show.
Something else that really stood out to me was the artwork done in the story. The show transitions to and from different styles at times which I found rather unique. However, the biggest thing that I liked, which really worked well with the show it that the artwork is simple. What I mean by that is that there isn't anything that stands out too much. (Other than Nano's key lol) but jokes aside, the simple settings and character designs work out well because you really get to focus on what's happening to certain characters without getting distracted much by lets says flashing backgrounds, large settings, etc. So keeping things simple really worked with it.
The music in Nichijou is really delightful, cheerful, and overall a bit above average. I really like the opening and ending songs, which was one thing that I didn't like at first. The first intro song I got sort of annoyed with it but after a while it grew on me, then when it changed, I started to dislike the second opening and just like the first, it grew on me.
The voice actors were also really good, there was a pretty great cast in Nichijou. Some of my favorites were Mai Aizawa, who does Uryuu Minene on Mirai Nikki or Future diary, Minoru Shiraishi who also provides vocals for another character on the Future diary, and lastly, I seriously adore Konno Hiromi because she does lots of voices for other shows I like such as (Future diary. Lucky Star. and Air.)
Something really amazing that I loved so much about nichijou was no matter whose life I was watching in Nichijou, again, I was completely engaged, there is so much enjoyment, joy and laughter in the show that I can say without any doubt that the show is family friendly.
Overall I'm giving this show 9/10 not only because it's one of my personal favorites, but because it left a very good impression on me. If I had more time to watch it I would, Nichijou was a really great show recommended to me from fans of Lucky star, and I'm really glad that I was able to watch it.
