Daily Lives of High School Boys- It's literally exactly what it sounds like, no misleading titles here. I didn't have high hopes for this series, considering how bland and boring it seems, but I was actually pleased by it. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou seemed to me like one of those anime that starts out awesome and quickly deteriorates into episode after episode of unfunny nothingness. To my surprise, this show was pretty consistent for the most part. The first few episodes had me laughing much of the time, and I still got a more than decent amount of laughs in the middle, but towards the end the jokes became more predictable and less funny. Not to mention the absolutely nonexistent fourth wall.
The only big issue with this anime is its lack of ANYTHING other than jokes. The story, if you can even call it that, solely consists of a series of short skits showing the various 'adventures' of a group of high school guys. None of the characters really have any personality whatsoever. They literally only serve the purpose of making joke after joke. As much as I love humor, that isn't okay with me under any circumstances.
Another thing I disliked (which I think everyone has said but I'll repeat it) was the extremely violent female characters. I mean, as glad as I am to see that not all anime girls are weak idiots who are dependent on guys, there's a certain point where enough is enough. It was only funny the first few times.
The animation is as simple as it gets, which was a bit disappointing since I really like detailed, high-quality animation. The soundtrack isn't terrible, considering comedy anime don't usually have very good music. The opening theme was enjoyable, but the rest of the tracks were kind of bland.
Overall, I found Daily Lives of High School Boys very enjoyable, but it could have been much better. It gets a generous 7/10 rating from me :)
