Nichijou's comedy is derived from creating hyperbole like reactions from normal life inconveniences/situations. Kyoto really blew the budget on everything just to emphasise all of that also, there really isn't any holding back. I can definitely see it being hit or miss however.
Nichijou always gives me this homely childlike wonder when ever I watch it when it combines its beautifully composed orchestral pieces and light coloured and simplistic art style with a very relaxed pacing at times. This is all of course used as a juxtaposition for when shit hits the fan and the animation budget goes from like a 5 to 11 and the orchestra turns into some intense Mozart shit when the slightest first world inconvenience happens.
I'm not a big fan of lol random XD humour but mostly because of how easily it is done wrong in mainstream media or anywhere really. This show is a big example on how random humour can be done correctly with well constructed pacing, setting and characters.
It's also got the right amount of heart felt moments you can expect from a normal Kyoto slice of life anime.
It's really sad that the show was a critical failure with Kyoto investing a huge amount of money in it and it didn't catch on therefore getting rid of all future hope for another season. I would kill for the show to come back after it's finally earned the audience it didn't get when it came out. The fabled 'season 2' will definitely not happen however it'd be fun for CITY to get it's own show.
