“Why don’t we go for an ice cream after school?”
“Things we think are cool… motivated sempai.”
I was so hoping for a “things we think are cool… ponytails.” So let down. Sigh.
Oh gosh, even Nano can become a cam whore. In other words, she’s just like any other high school girl. There’s no difference. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Well, except she doesn’t obsess over her flatness like traditional anime high school girls do.
(I had this dream once where Haruhi was calling out for espers, time travelers, aliens, sliders, and robots… and Johnny Carson, Alex Winter, The Great Gazoo, Jerry O’Connell, and Nano showed up. Needless to say, I need help.)
So cute. I think the metallic key really brings out her charm and sparkles. And, yeah, kinda weird seeing Nano wearing a short skirt. Not saying it’s wrong… just… different.
(I don’t like the new interface for WordPress… they mix fonts! Why are some text boxes now serif font while other text boxes sans serif? And why is the font smaller and non-adjustable? Makes it almost impossible to read on my HDTV without zooming in a ton.)
After watching the new OP, ヒャダインã®ã˜ã‚‡ãƒ¼ã˜ã‚‡ãƒ¼ã‚†ãƒ¼ã˜ã‚‡ãƒ¼ (Hyadin’s New Friendship), my only reaction was, “What the fuck just happened?” I am beginning to think that Hyadin is the Lady Gaga of anime OPs. And that seems to fit Nichijou just fine.
(Also, Snicker’s product placement? OH PIZZA HUT NO!)
Professor throwing a tantrum so Nano couldn’t go to school was awesome. So in character for Professor… especially the part when she was bribed by Nano with strawberry milk. Gosh, Professor and Nano are the best comedic duo in anime since Lulu and Suzaku.
Watching Nano panic in front of the classroom… awesome. I enjoyed it. I feel like Kyoto can’t make an anime without a ridiculously shy character… Nano, Mikuru, Kotomi-chan, Mai, the rugby team, Mio, Tsukasa… mmm…
(Nano should have gone with Occam’s Razor for her approach. The easiest explanation is that robots cannot exist therefore she is not a robot. Her metallic key is part of her “uniqueness” much like Mio’s wooden blocks or Mai’s glasses or Yuko’s idiocy.)
The argument between Mio and Yuko was excellent. Loved how the two of them battled back and forth like Brandy and Monica fighting over a poor chump. It was well-done, and Kyoto hasn’t lose a step in animation quality since the beginning (which sadly I can’t say for Hanasaku Iroha, which lost a few steps already). If it weren’t for the resolution, I would say it seemed like any old internet argument.
The resolution was suitably epic too. Gosh, I would love to see Kyoto remake Fist of the North Star at this point. Or, you know, some Full Metal Panic.
(Really enjoying the manga for Nichijou as well. Just funny and zany, and Kyoto is doing a good job of translating it for the big screen.)
The soccer and go club should be changed to the SOS Brigade if they want more interesting activities. They already have one bookworm and one board game fanatic in the club… all they need to do now is find an overly energetic president, a hawt meido, and a sarcastic, reluctant hero.
(I get the impression soccer and go is like Calvinball. And I fully support Calvinball as a profession sport if the NFL and NBA seasons get cancelled. Seriously, do you expect me to watch hockey? Hahaha.)
The dog is awesome. Anime needs more awesome dogs and fewer generic cat girls.
(Speaking of dogs, have some cute puppy videos.)
Hug attack!
(So cute.)
Three MVPs…
1. Nano.
2. Mio.
3. Yuko.
(I went chalk. So what?)

Well, except she doesn’t obsess over her flatness like traditional anime high school girls do.
Yet.
Wait till she asks Hakase for a boob enhancement.
You and me both, Jason. You and me both.
@Lights That makes 3 of us…saw the pony tail coming, went “no way, they’re doing ponytails? Nichijou I love you” then, they drop motivated Sempai. Can’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed
Maybe “motivated sempai” is like “ample hopes and dreams,” but for ponytails.
“Well, except she doesn’t obsess over her flatness like traditional anime high school girls do.”
The key has her attention for now. The moment she gets rid of it, we’ll have, “Hakase, can you give some oppai?”
“The dog is awesome. Anime needs more awesome dogs and fewer generic cat girls.”
See Dog Days.
Also, FMP didn’t have a ridiculously shy character.
And I’m surprised you didn’t show the screenshot of Mai placing the cup of water on Yuuko. Epic troll is epic.
Nope Tess wasn’t ever shy at all…. were we watching the same show?
Nano can’t stop worrying about her back long enough to care about what’s in front.
…and of course just saw that R said essentially the same thing, but funnier.
He did say the Rugby team.
School girls don’t usually find ponytails to be cool….but given the animation and attention the ponytail got…KyoAni is indulging in its usual fetish. They think its cool. (Azusa need to modivate Mio-sempai more often). Though Chiyo-chan was doing it wrong…since her method of modivating didn’t result in ponytails…well…except duting the relay race…her trying hard modivated Sakaki to put up a ponytail.
The Gollum-esque Nano conversation with herself, while Sakamoto-san slowly backs away thinking she had flipped out surely merits a mention as well.
