Nichijou is still my number #1 favourite anime of all time, which is weird considering it's a slice of life comedy. Like I've watched way cooler plot heavy stuff but still here I am.

Nichijou's comedy is derived from creating hyperbole like reactions from normal life inconveniences/situations. Kyoto really blew the budget on everything just to emphasise all of that also, there really isn't any holding back. I can definitely see it being hit or miss however.

Nichijou always gives me this homely childlike wonder when ever I watch it when it combines its beautifully composed orchestral pieces and light coloured and simplistic art style with a ... very relaxed pacing at times. This is all of course used as a juxtaposition for when shit hits the fan and the animation budget goes from like a 5 to 11 and the orchestra turns into some intense Mozart shit when the slightest first world inconvenience happens.

I'm not a big fan of lol random XD humour but mostly because of how easily it is done wrong in mainstream media or anywhere really. This show is a big example on how random humour can be done correctly with well constructed pacing, setting and characters.
It's also got the right amount of heart felt moments you can expect from a normal Kyoto slice of life anime.

It's really sad that the show was a critical failure with Kyoto investing a huge amount of money in it and it didn't catch on therefore getting rid of all future hope for another season. I would kill for the show to come back after it's finally earned the audience it didn't get when it came out. The fabled 'season 2' will definitely not happen however it'd be fun for CITY to get it's own show.

Kaiba has to be one of my top favourite anime's of all time; Every single category of animation, sound, characters and story are well crafted and really creates a setting. The whole premise of the show is very unique and the whole story fells like a massive piece of art (not in a bad subjective way).
The simplistic artstyle combined with the atmospheric colours and animation really set the tone of it's surroundings not to mention how well setup the story is and along with it's premise.
If you're going to end up watching this be prepared for some underlying melancholy and confusion throughout it, but damn ... is it good.
I highly recommend it for people who want to watch a long story with a conclusion a long with a whole lot of artistic integrity in it.

Ai Mai Mii is good when it comes to if you just want to watch a show of 2-3 minute skits that are pretty funny at times.
I like the ludicrous nature of the show, it's just a car with no breaks.
It's got that 3 high school girls comedy thing going if you don't like that overused premise don't worry too much because it's just used as a background setting and really isn't a focus.
I also like the art style a whole lot, especially when it has it's off-model moments.
To conclude it's a good 'time waister' even if that is a short amount of time. ... (honestly the show feels a lot shorter than that with it's fast pacing)
