You won’t need to watch the original to pick this up, making it an easy viewing experience. Choosing to focus on its comedic side, the show is an episodic telling of absurd mishaps of an overly serious soldier, Sousuke Sagara, and the more level-headed, high school representative, Kaname Chidori.įumoffu is its own thing.
The small clips supplement the hard punchlines, the cutesy atmosphere helps viewers coast through episodes lined with over the top animation, and the simple story allows viewers to jump in or leave at no detriment to their experience.įull Metal Panic? Fumoffu is a comedy offshoot from the same setting as the original: Full Metal Panic. While Nichijou might not be for everyone, it’s easy to get into the show with an assortment of jokes and compelling animation.
My personal favorite: Mio incapacitating everyone who finds out her “darkest secret.” The other is presenting normal things with a reaction that’s absurd. One method is presenting a scene so absurd that it’s funny-a principle wrestling with a deer, a childhood friend stalking as a fast sprinting bear, or a talking cat (okay, maybe that’s a bit more ordinary nowadays). Nichijou is a show that banks its comedy in two ways. The intense, overblown comedic sections? Kyoto Animation held nothing back. The color palette and animation during the less intense scenes are likened to a picture book. Nichijou translates to its English subtitle, but the show is hardly that, ordinary. The premise of the show is understating quite a few things.
Filled with crazy antics, the show focuses on three high school girls and their encounters with the town residents. Nichijou is focused on a trio of friends and their daily lives.
