With my own high school experience in mind, and after watching a few other high-school set anime like Azumanga Daioh or Cromartie High School, I decided to give Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou a shot. I needed something that was slapstick and simple, with no complicated plot in my anime diet and it successfully managed to satisfy that hunger.

It's exactly what the title depicts: daily life as a high school boy. It involves three high school friends who go to an all boy's high school and their wacky encounters in life. While some of their antics are typical to boys, such as stealing panties and playing RPGs, the way they handle situations is what makes it hilarious. Sometimes the gags itself aren't that funny, but the characters are the ones that make up for it. They have their own sarcastic , geeky, troubled, obnoxious, calculated personalities that add to the humor.

Oh, and there are girls... but heh, they are a handful on their own and not your average cliched high school girls...

The animation is average, but in this type of comedy anime, animation seems irrelevant to me at least, as long as the characters look relatively human and proportioned, I'm good.

It is a typical school comedy anime that will be shelved with others of its kind. Yet, there is something about this show's parodies and sense of humor that makes it a bit different than the average anime comedy. Or maybe I acted too much like these high school boys in high school that I actually find them relatable (I hope not. I wasn't THAT ridiculous. At least I don't think so). So, if you need something to watch after a long stressful day, or want to take a waltz down memory lane give it a shot,worst case, you ended up laughing.
