This is my first review, even though it's for a show I dropped, I just couldn't resist ranting a little due to its popularity. I tried to get into this anime multiple times, but I still don't get its phenomenon. Maybe I'm just few years too late and I can't appreciate it as much as when it was airing. On top of that there's a lot of good comedies in recent seasons.
Story:
Seems like there's no real plot, it's just a slice of life gag comedy with a bunch of little girls. And since comedy is the biggest part of this show let's talk about that
...
- it's not for me. I think it's too random, the jokes drag on for too long and sometimes it feels like there was no actual punchline. Part of the jokes just fly over my head, simply because I'm not japanese and part of them aren't that funny to begin with. If it manages to make me laugh/smile only few times per episode I don't think it's doing a good job as a gag comedy.
Art:
The animation itself is very good, however I really dislike this artstyle, the character design is so simplistic that I wouldn't even count it as moe. It actually starts to remind me those chibi spin-off shows rather than a proper anime. Kyoto Animation is known for making cute and gorgeous-looking shows, but this one is neither of those things to me.
Sound:
It's ok. Nothing in the soundtrack really stood out to me. The voice actors are doing a good job, but nothing really worth noting.
Characters:
They're so forgettable that I can barely remember their names and personality traits. I feel like if some of the characters got replaced by other people, some viewers wouldn't even notice the difference.
Overall:
This show has nothing to offer besides comedy which is subjective. But even if you'd enjoy this type of humor it's still lacking the story and characters while having passable art and sound. You probably won't miss anything if you just watch some "Nichijou funny moments compilation" on Youtube instead of watching the whole anime. I sometimes wonder if the people who give it a 10/10 score do it as a joke in similar way to Pingu in the City.
