Kyoto Animation’s new moegag anime Nichijou has begun airing to a generally positive reception, with viewers largely agreeing that any shortcomings of the original have been overwritten by the overpowering aura of KyoAni quality, although many express doubts over the surreal gags at the heart of the show.
The online consensus appears to be that, whilst no K-ON! (or even an Ika-Musume), Nichijou benefits hugely from flawless production values and may well have a promising future in spite of at times idiosyncratic humour.

another moeblob anime...
looks like Artefact took a shine to it though.
Which means weekly updates and screenshoooooots about another lucky star.
how it is a blob when it never burst
I had to look in a dictionary to find out the definition of surreal.
Surrealism: a style of art and literature developed principally in the 20th century, stressing the subconscious or nonrational significance of imagery arrived at by automatism or the exploitation of chance effects, unexpected juxtapositions, etc.
Can someone put this into a simple explanation for me...or at least dumb it down for me lol
It means "fucking weird."
Surrealism works best without being measured using the scale of normality.
考えるな、感じろ
Go get an education.
YEAH, FUCK THAT GUY!
Surrealism is like... to have a pretty weird dream. Anything may happen. It doesn't have to make any sense.
just like comedy
it means that things happen not like what you expected, and it happens extremely nonrational
atlast!! a new anime from Kyoani studio!! Love Kyoani :D
Say what you will about it, but that is one tasty looking wiener
I hate how K-ON has become the standard for moe-gag/slice of life animes. It wasnt even funny and the only reason everyone obsessed over it is because the characters defined a new level of stupidly-moe. It was never truely even funny, and a lot of people just like it because its overhyped.
There are so many better slice of life than K-ON. People have seem to forgot entirely about Lucky Star, which K-ON! ripped a great deal of character ideas off of, as well as other classics like Azumanga Daioh. K-ON! is just an uneventful uninteresting anime dressed up with Cute characters.
you are noisy
I've actually watched only a pair of episodes. When it was really hot and they asked for an A/C, and when they go to that concert festivals. They weren't all that funny. Cute? Yes. Top-notch cuteness. Funny? Pretty average to me.
AMEN, brother, amen.
It's not the standard. Why would you think so?
Not sexy enough. I don't think I'll watch it.
You do realize Lucky Star ripped off a large portion of an anime called Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Btw NONE of the Haruhi references were part of the original manga of Lucky Star.
The K-on! girls in my perspective had better chemistry with one another instead of Lucky Star's Konata and Kagami which out shined the two lesser known girls.
Based on your comment if you dislike K-on! that much you should just move on and let people enjoy what they like and you can enjoy what you like.
I agree with this comment but both Lucky Star and K-On are subpar slice of life anime. It doesn't get any better than Aria.
That's as ridiculous as comparing Legend of the Galactic Heroes to Code Geass- oh wait, that happens all the time.
I love Aria but I wouldn't call Lucky Star and K-On! subpar either.
what? lucky star ripped off haruhi ?
how can it tip off something that is not even on the same genre?
ripping off is stealing concepts or ideas (or jokes, in a comedy) , claiming they're yours and NOT mentionning the name of the ripped off one...
Lucky star made has reference to many anime, of course there is haruhi, but paniponi dash is heavily mentionned too, not as a ripoff as konata talks ABOUT it
one could say that the ond of ore no imouto rips off genshinken,
but lucky star ripping off haruhi ?! just use the right words please
hey hey we got an idiot here
I hope you do realize that haruhi and Lucky Star where from the same studio.. and that konata and haruhi share the voiceactress..
Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one that didn't give two shits about K-ON.
I thought I was the only one as well. I still don't get why more established slice of life series like Hidamari Sketch is still underrated despite going for 3 seasons and 3 TV specials.
amen!
I liked k-on and lucky star and allot of others, but hidimari sketch was my altime favorite school/slice of life anime.
prolly because i'm a saw ...
your avatar make a prefect irony
eh i didn't know k-on is moe-gag manga -__-
yeah people are too stupid to distinct between manga genres
you can see many examples here
K-ON is a mainstream standard. It's a watered down version of the niche slice of life genre that is aimed towards the masses. I've actually said the exact same thing you are saying in previous K-ON entries but of course, this being the Moe-complex, people ignored the main points of that post and cried foul at me for blaspheming their holy anime.
In any case, K-ON is an all around mediocre show that can be enjoyed in small increments if you stay away from the fanbase. It's just the way the rabid fanbase giving the entire genre a bad name that gets to me.
Oh I don't care. I see someone ride a goat, I'm all for it.
K-on's best part was the music I thought the first season was good though the second one was slightly watered down.
hell yeah!!
i'll ride one tommorow
K-On is K-On. There's nothing indicative about it. I HATE how people compare it to be some kind of a posterchild for something. It isn't. It's great for what it is and if people don't like it, that's fine. When people tries to put in the popularity of something as an indication regarding other works, that's where the argument falls totally apart.
That said, I'm glad Nichijou is getting rave reviews. I'm sick and tired of all the 4-panel haters. If you guys hate stuff like that so much, then do not watch and stop trying to tag in some 'sign of anime Armageddon' message to it. It comes across as snarky and possibly even damaging to anime fandom in general to get so virulent about something like that. It's almost like the excessive shoujo/magical girl hate western anime fans were exhibiting in early 2000's.
I would understand under other circumstances your dislike for this kind of anime, but at least K-ON! was funny in many ways. There are other animes even more biased worldwide which I shall not name.
Of course, if you bring Azumanga Daioh into discussion you're trolling because of its stance in slice-of-life anime genre, and because we ALL know K-ON! was a mass anime, not precisely a quality anime.
Also, underlining the fact that both are KyoAnis, undermines your argument.
there's none.
Well Lucky Star is Lucky Star and K-on is K-on but if i were to choose between the two, then it's of course Lucky Star!
To the "K-On!" hater,
Says the man who doesn't 'Get it' - I doubt "K-On!" would be as huge as it is and sell as much as it has if it was over-hyped. No one goes to a concert featuring the seiyuus singing as their characters cause they're over-hyped.
"Azumanga" & "Lucky Star" have their place in the Anime universe but I would think "Seitokai Yakuindomo" is a better example of 'sketch humor'. There's a way to pump up and rally for your own tastes & style without attacking what is a proven success.
It's like calling "Haruhi" the future of MOE but denying "K-On!" didn't evolve out of it. I don't like "Lucky Star" but I liked "Azumanga"...why? Art Style. This looks like a cheap-ass version of "Pani Poni Dash" which I LOVED and it has Nothing to do with "K-On!" Why not let this show define itself without trying to attack already PROVEN successes!
K-On thrives on cuteness and silliness more than outright humor and surrealistic humor like Azumanga.
If we're going to compare these kinds of 4koma/panel anime, you really can't. Because they all aim for different feel. And no single answer is 'correct'. It's just different.
Just try to think about that.
Yes~
Azumanga > K-ON.
4-komas were meant to be slapstick and funny, not carried on solely by cuteness.
Granted, there was a few amusing parts in K-ON, but not enough to warrant more than a 'heh'.
I like you.
And I wantcha.
For some reason I think people just hate K-On just b/c it's popular. Same kind of people who hate on Bleach/Naruto/One Piece or the kind of people who hate on Halo/Mario/CoD just because its mainstream and what not.
hate? what hate? i mean what kind of hate? really? hate for k-on? you must be joking
Fuck me for going off topic, but I think people hate on CoD because it really is (regardless of what it was in the past) just a repetitive "AAA" money maker tailored for casual gamers.
But I really do hate naruto for no reason, I will never give it the time of day. Same with a lot of other CN/Adult Swim anime.
"I hate how K-ON has become the standard for moe-gag/slice of life animes. It wasnt even funny and the only reason everyone obsessed over it is because the characters defined a new level of stupidly-moe. It was never truely even funny, and a lot of people just like it because its overhyped."
Well man.. That's like.. Your opinion!
It may not be gut busting humor but it is entertaining and surprisingly relaxing show.
Also I think you have a problem when you try and compare K-ON! to Lucky Star since there's THIS and there's THAT. I'd take that you'd rant if K-ON was a complete copy of LS.
sucks to be you. everything must be some kind of ripoff from the classic ones with that PoV. perhaps you should live in past where television just had been invented.
