Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, as the title says, is a hilarious comedy about a group of japanes high school boys, living their normal (?) lives.
My review will be short, but I hope you'll find it helpful.

Story: 8
There's not an actual plot, so I don't feel like giving it full marks. The whole story is a slice of life, and every episode is full of funny gags, partially unrelated from each other.

Art: 9
Characters are well drawn, and are very different between them. the expression they make are awesome, and even if they all share the same basic lines in drawings, the whole cast is ... pretty good.

Sound: 10
BGMs are quite good, voice cast is perfect and is very relevant in the gags: Most of them would be less funny if there weren't the same voice actors.
Opening: I like it, it sounds good and quite badass.
Ending: It's just hilariously epic.

Character: 10
As I already said, characters are very different between each other, and that's what makes them special. There aren't typical anime stereotype, and that's a good thing.

Overall: 10
Danshi Koukousei is a must watch: Watch it, you won't regret.

I think it's one of the best comedy anime ever made, and I bet you'll recognize yourself in almost one of the numerous gags you'll see in it (that's what makes someway look the anime realistic).
Also, some gags are predictable, but once you see them, and you know what would happen, you'll laugh anyway (as an example, the ice-slip scene, which I don't remember the episode from where it was from).
Hope you'll enjoy it as well as I did, and stay tuned: Season two as already been confirmed!

-my first review, be gentle! I just wanted to tell everyone what i feel about this anime, that i feel very close to me-

Have you ever had a group of friends you care a lot? Kimi To Boku is a story about the everyday life of five teens, bound together by the most beautiful relationship that can be established between people: friendship. Representing quite normal situations, Kimi To Boku can warm the heart of the spectator, through the use of beautiful phrases, moving soundtracks, and the feeling of closeness with the situations that happen to the protagonists. If you have special friends in your life, ... you would understand that Kimi To Boku is a much more deep and moving anime than it seems. But if you don't, you'll maybe just enjoy a normal slice-of-life anime, without knowing how much fantastic this anime is.

Story: 9
Kimi to Boku has no particular plot, so it's not fair to give full marks to it. However, the simplicity represented by this anime succeeds in every way to involve the viewer, making it enjoyable until the end of each episode. I found great the use of past scenes of the protagonists, which outline a simple but also stable plot. Also, some scenes will make you laugh out loud, but other scenes are very touching. It's impossible to be bored watching this anime.

The art of Kimi to Boku is very simple, yet so beautiful. First, it is almost totally devoid of the stereotype of the "unnatural colored hair" typical of Japanese cartoons (except for Shun, who has red hair, but hey, even I have natural red hair, so it's okay!). The style vaguely reminds me of other animes as Usagi Drop, that I've always praised for its exquisite designs and vibrant colors. Another thing to praise are the drawings of cats in Kimi to Boku, almost perfect, they look so real.

Sound: 10
Probably, the soundtrack to Boku Kimi is the best thing of all the anime. Starting from the opening, which I believe is one of the best among all the anime ever made, until the ending, which is also wonderful, all the soundtracks in it are very well made, and that's especially thanks to them that the whole anime creates an atmosphere of happiness mixed with a nostalgic feeling. It gives the spectator the sensation of good memories, remembered with nostalgia and melancholy, which is perfect in the anime context.

Character: 10
The 5 main characters are different from the typical anime chracter stereotype.
Shun is feminine, tender and altruist, the typical "good person" that can hardly be found as a main character in an anime.
Yuta, Yuki and Kaname have kinda the same cool attitude, but they're nothing like the typical cool characters which not comunicate with anyone and are closed in themselves.
Chizuru is the classical genki boy, maybe the only stereotype in the serie, but also a good character that i've appreciated a lot.
I also love the other characters: they are more attached to the classical stereotypes, but their presence in the anime is very important for the plot develop.

Enjoyment: 10
I love this anime. As I said, the fantastic soundtrack, the funny situations, the never boring characters, the good art and the heart-warming situations make this anime very enjoyable and watchable by everyone.

Overall: 10
