Some people are under the impression that anime is just a bunch of stupid cartoons without meaning. Well, they are wrong!! Only some of them are like that. And we"re going to give you some sweet, goofy shows where you can basically tune into any episode and know as much as the next person what"s going on. However, even with comedies with no real plot or even seemingly connected scenes, it certainly doesn"t mean they"re lazy with the jokes. While a common set up is the straight man/funny man duo, sometimes all the characters involved bring completely insane ideas that, in new ways, add to an already funny scenario.
About Nichijou (Nichijou – My Ordinary Life)
- Episodes: 26
- Aired: Apr 2011 - Sep 2011
If we had to describe Nichijou in just a few short words, it"s like a super moe Regular Show. ("It"s anything but"). The title MEANS "everyday life" but while the general settings of a school and house are rather normal, the characters themselves and the situations they get into are absurd. The only way this can be seen as normal is that everyone is uniquely quirky. There"s a haughty farm boy who speaks like a nobleman but rides a goat to school, a robot whose body parts hide secret snacks even she doesn"t know about, and a high school girl who secretly fantasizes about her crush with other dudes. With incredible feats of strength and a convenient negligence to the laws of physics, Nichijou excels at taking supposedly ordinary moments and turning them into ridiculous and hilarious situations.
The beauty of crazy comedies is that they aren’t bound by logic or universal laws, so there"s always something new. These aren’t the kind of shows you tend to empathize with or see yourself in. These shows provide a comical escape that"s easy for people to enjoy and doesn"t require much brain power. The happy though zany days of Nichijou can appeal to many because of their cuteness and funniness. Poptepipikku has the spontaneity and memey-freshness to keep pop-culture fans happy and engaged. Saiki Kusuo is a more cynical, while still overly ridiculous, show that is great for viewers that might be tired of their own everyday hardships. We hope you enjoy these shows as much as you loved Nichijou!
Hey friends! I reside in Georgia and use my degree in Japanese primarily to (barely) read doujinshi that hasn’t been translated. Beyond deciding who is best girl in whatever I happen to be watching, I really enjoy ballroom dancing, reading, crying over dating sims, karaoke, and being surrounded by beautiful things~ (You know, scenery, décor, boys, stuff like that). I also love talking about passions with others!
