An anime adaptation of slice-of-life gag manga Nichijou (“Everyday”) is to be handled by Kyoto Animation, but fans are wondering just whether Kyoto Animation will be able to work its magic on the source material in question.
The manga, harshly described by some as “degraded Azumanga,” looks to have character designs and material even Kyoto Animation would be hard pressed to turn into top selling moeblobs:
There are doubts about the manga’s idiosyncratic sense of humour:
The manga is however much more popular than K-ON! ever was prior to being turned into an anime, though amongst fans respect for the original work seems only to translate into scepticism as to what Kyoto Animation will do with the series, especially with regards to its art.

Great, another slice-of-life anime. Will the next decade be even more fucked up than the last?
So slice-of-life involves...
A student humanoid...
Deer wrestling...
Getting shot at the back of your head with a revolver and living to talk about it....
Yep slice of life... I wish my life had those so that I can finally stop taking it seriously.
I'd call this "slice of weird" since it mixes ordinary settings and situations with the absurd, like it's American cousin "regular show."
Boo-fucking-hoo! I happen to like slice-of-life so shut the fuck up. I hate shounen animes, but I don't go around whining about them. Simply say "Meh, not for me. I'll just go and watch something else". Not so fucking hard, is it?
I haven't complained once in the last five years, but the way the anime industry is going, every second anime will be slice-of-life.
99% is just nonsense dialogue over and over again. If you like words so much go read a book instead, I for once would like to watch something that goes with the word ANIMATION!
The only response I can make to such a stupid comment:

it will look like lucky star.
I think "art" should be in quotation marks.
You see that girl on the first strip over there?
Her name is Mio.
Hey if it's cute I'll fap to it... I mean watch it.
Interesting. Looks like it'll be a good watch.
Nothing will stop a true lolicon from acquiring these lovelies, regardless...
And in the end, we all know all anime comes down to one thing...Hentai~
That said, I can't wait for the anime...
I can forgive a lot if the writing is good and the characters are engaging.
Kyo Ani should do another Full Metal Panic series.
KyoAni, please quit fucking around and do another season of Full Metal Panic, already. Jesus...
Especially that the final novel comes out this year!
+1
KyoAni give us FMP, its been 5 years already !!!!
The only thing I find interesting about it is that the author uses the hirgana "wi" in his name.
You know you have my vote when people say your show will be the next Azumanga.
This is already cute.
Manga looks retarded.:P
Looking forward to it .
Not interested.
Hakase + Sakamoto =
When the fuck are they gonna start on Little Busters?
KyoAni could animate grass growing and I would watch it. But doesn't this mean at least one character has to die or go into a coma?
Would you watch the same grass grow for 8 episodes, each time from a different angle?
LOL! I see what you did there! 2 years too late, but wth.
That's Key specialty, not KyoAni.
I've read part of the manga, and it's hilariously ridiculous. Also, ridiculously hilarious. Definitely watching.
LOL @ that first page. I love this series' humor already.
We're just going to have to wait and see
Wasn't Lucky Star compared to Azumanga as well? Good thing KyoAni put their magic touch and made Lucky Star a million times better than that lame Azumanga. It's an insult to compare Lucky Star to Azumanga.
Azumanga started off well, but grew nonsenical with Osaka's crazy day dreams or the old gag with kuudere Sakaki always being bitten by cats (do they ever get tired of it?).
So yes, I don't foresee any problem of KyoAni putting their magic touch in Nichijou. They are like the Blizzard of the anime world. Anything they touch turns to gold.
>It's an insult to compare Lucky Star to Azumanga.
Fuck.
I had to log in just to down-vote your delusion comments.
>Anything they touch turns to gold.
Then why has Haruhi turned to such shit?
>Then why has Haruhi turned to such shit?
Blame Kadokawa
Maybe season 2 is but the movie is pure gold though.
^^ Agreed...
But what can we say everyone wants to jump on the kyoani hate bandwagon.
NEVER......EVER.....EVAAAAAAAR....SAY AZUMANGA IS SHIT. I WILL FUCKING TEAR YOUR LIMBS OUT, SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR MOUTH AND CUT OFF YOUR DICK AND SHOVE THAT DOWN TOO! AZUMANGA IS GOD! AZUMANGA IS ANIME!
"Good thing KyoAni put their magic touch and made Lucky Star a million times better than that lame Azumanga. It's an insult to compare Lucky Star to Azumanga."
*Reads the above, turns orange, flashes red and blue in RAEG*
But does Lucky Star have Wakamoto going "HARO EVERY-NYAN"???
And why can we still remember Azumanga 9 years later?
This should be done by SHAFT. It's there genre no?
I rather see the series finished in this decade, thanks.
But they would do it so much better. It's there style. Who cares if it takes 20 years.
Shaft should just stay away. They would only turn this into some weird crap.
It's a bad thing that their most recent work Arakawa Under the Bridge has some actual stuff going on and people start complaining Shaft didn't make it more weird.
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
why does everything have to be turned into moeblob shit
k-on works with that, that's good
if this gets such treatment it will beocme pure shit
what the fuck
Just wait, once a few episodes have aired (given a group subs this), people will be all like "ZOMG, random Nichijou-character x is my waifu!". It has happened before.
And then the old women from the Kei-onbu will be left on the shelf, just like idols past their expiry dates...
when are they gonna animate Little Busters?
They would animate it long ago, but they must be perplexed with the task of rendering it into a linear scenario.
PA Works will probably get it, not KyoAni.
Unfortunate, given what a travesty Angel Beats is.
I'd take Angel Beats over Endless Eight any day.
Yea, because that's all KyoAni did...animate the Endless Eight
Oh, the idiots on the interwebz
So... colorful coifed anime girls buying weird stuff at a convenience store, and occasionally being gored by wildlife.
Kyoani could phone this one to Turkish animatiors, and they'd still have a hit.
