Nichijou created by Kyoto Animation based on an aroriginal Yonkoma manga by Arawi Keiichi. The series is not licensed for distribution in North America, but is available in Australia from Madman Entertainment.
_"Mio is a bit more carefree and cheerful although if you look closely, you can see the barely contained animal rage in her eyes."_
LOL so fcking true!
"barely contained animal rage in her eyes."
This. This is accurate.
Especially during the camping scene.
release...

Release into the atmosphere
That scene when she pile drived the goat XD
Also when she murders three people and a goat over her yaoi
I need to find more people who watch nichijou
*Adamantly puts hand up*
This is one of my favorite shows my man
Jesse Brol so many good laughs! I mean even in the first episode
+Doughno TD Yeah, Everything was so funny and original. I loved the parts with sakamoto, nano and the proffesor
+Doughno TD I loved every single second of it
"I'm sure you've got a favorite comedy anime of your own, though."
... yeah.. Nichijou.
Excellent video. I'm a bigger fan of Nichijou's second OP, but there's no going wrong with either one.
+AnUntitledAbridger
azumangadiaoh will forever be my favorite XD
but im not through with Nichijou yet, so maybe im mistaken =P
AnUntitledAbridger nah, mines gintama and then Danshi koukousei no nichijou, (daily lives of highschool boys) but I still really like nichijou
I honestly thought nothing could beat this OP until I saw the second one. Now I'm conflicted!
Second one has a Mussolini version therefore it is better
Gintama will always be my number 1.
"And then we see them running around a rotating heart, *Opposite Hakase and Nano*.
Holy shit i didn't notice that until now
Me too. I only noticed Hakase and Nano when I've already watched it 50+
there is sakamoto also
SINCE WHEN WERE THEY THERE WTFF??
Saaamee I watched all of Nichigo and I’ve never noticed that
@@user-qd5gq9ec8k nichigo
I never really expected to love a comedy slice of life anime, even more with the childish art. But, oh, Nichijou. This anime was truly a masterpiece, and I regretted that it took me a long time to finally try.
Also, this opening song, I've never skipped even once (even the second one). They're really well made and entertaining, with catchy music and visuals.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that didn’t skip any of the amazing op’s !
Nichijou was my first anime, so it’ll forever be my favorite :’)
It is probably the funniest anime of all time the was ordiary situations esclate are hilraious
My favorite shot from this opening is the one when the main trio are singing while the camera pans around them in a circular motion! Not only does it always make me smile because of its energy and how randomly it's shown, it also shows a high talent in animation, as I doubt those kinds of movements are easy to draw (as in circular camera pan plus three characters singing and fully animating at the same time... this opening was hand-drawn people!)
the entire anime is animated that way. i agree it's some of the best animation i've ever seen, especially for a comedy anime.
*turns on english auto-generated captions*
I sure love this anime Nietzsche Joe
Nietzsche because GOD IS DEAD!
6:50
WAT
That's a good fucking filter
There's no female singer in the nichijou OP? My life is a lie.
nor the second one. The artist does this for like all of his songs
JEAM ジーム the trap God
As a participation gift, the girl is real, she's model for the MV, not Hyadain crossdressing.
My favorite comedy anime is SAO since the whole thing is a joke.
+Gud Username So savage.
+Greg Allan said the guy with shitty taste in anime
MrDisgruntledGamer1 I'm sorry did I say I liked SAO? My earlier comment now applies to you also.
Greg Allan then why dis the guy who shares the same opinion as you? you basically told that guy to cut his wrist for no reason what so ever.
we're all having a good time.
I love how the ED calms you down after watching Nichijou. Or was I the only one who felt like it did that?
The first ED gets you ready for bed and makes you feel loved (nichijou def feels like a show for kids to watch after school shortly before bed).
The second ED makes you happy humans exist and makes you appreciate life.
Fitting since the first half of the show is mosrly just random skits and the second half of the show is a continuous story.
Fucking hell there's world war 3 happening in my head on which should i listen to you or the song
3:10 The connection comes from spelling. The Daiku company logo is the character 大. Nakamura's name for Sakamoto was Taisho (大正), which also starts with 大.
I loved Nichijou, it gets weird sometimes, but not the kind of weird that makes you think "am I missing something?" like Evangelion does all the time. It's just funny, weird and hella cute.
Yeah, it's the kind of weird that makes you think "I missed everything but I'm still laughing my ass off", that's how fun it is
"Ruin" more like "make me love it more".
+logosloki th-cam.com/video/P2fmZ2C2CdA/w-d-xo.html
+Mother's Basement IM DEAD LMAO
+Mother's Basement
Damn bro you killed him
+Mother's Basement Bro chill LMFAO
+Mother's Basement Love that show.
One other thing about this op is that the "seemingly random clips" you mention at 4:37 are all scenes from the manga that weren't adapted. Great vid as always Geoff!
nichijou is a fcking fantastic anime xD
True dat, mate
I second that 😂
Dats a triple maty 😂
Is there any way I could second all of you? I don't think saying "I fourth that" really covers how awesome this show is
2:00 Sasahara was the subject of Mio's ink drawings in one of the earlier episodes, which is an additional connection to why Sasahara is the content of the ink bottle transition. Although I can only make this connection now that you explain all these gorgeous connections I never caught before. (Favorited!) Also, the skits that involve Mio having drawn her crush Sasahara in a sexy manner was the implications of Mio having a crush on him before the ending, in contrast to what you said at 5:20.
A nice additional bonus to the soft cut to Nano, Sakamoto and Hakase is that their segments are all a lot more 'soft' in general - revolving around domestic life and carefree pranks, which is a soft shell around the bizzare characters it contains (in contrast to school life, where everything is hectic and wild, but with very(comparatively) normal characters).
Though...if I'm going to name a favorite Comedy series...it's gotta be Shirokuma Cafe, which isn't 'pure' comedy exactly, but is a delightful character-driven slice-of-life where 90% of the cast is realistically-drawn talking animals, and nobody bats an eye about it (except one guy, halfway through the series).
Yes! Thank you so much for doing this. Nichijou is my favourite anime. Another great comedy anime is Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (Daily Lives of High School Boys).
oreomonogatari hel ya they're both so good.
I prefered Nichijou i dunno why
The over the top animation. Their humour are kinda similar but Nichijou went balls to the wall over the top with animation.
The best Anime OP of all time. The song, quality of animation, crispness of it's graphic, and it encapsulate the series extremely well with possible opening for each viewer's "lore crafting"
Samurai Champloo?
I'm glad you praised Hyadain! He's my favourite Japanese composer so watching you, my favourite TH-camr do this analysis of Nichijou!
Daily Lives of High School Boys is probably my favorite comedy show. Every episode has me laughing out loud. The OP's not nearly as strong as Nichijou's, but the ED is pretty good.
The op feels more like a traditional romance comedy/adventure type show
+MooMachine90 The ending has to be one of my favorite endings of all time. It fits the show so well ^^
The opening is a joke lol.
Look how they depict Tadakuni as the main character even tho he doesn't really do shit in the show.
We don't even know his full name.
Fried Tofu I always thought that, as does everyone, but I always have the lingering theory that this was supposed to be a serious adventure show, but then they just changed their mind and left the op as is just because XD. Probably not the case but it's fun thinking it like that
Is Daily Life of High School boys better than Nichijou? I saw some unbelievable comments on a video that said Nichijou is hella boring while they recommend Daily Life of Highschool Boys.
The best thing about this op is that when it reaches the part near the end when they're all running around the heart, the song feels like it's going to end. But there's still an extra bit, which is really satisfying
This was actually super awesome and inspiring. I greatly appreciate your work!
I can't even bring myself to finish the series because I'm afraid that I'll get too attached to the anime and not be able to accept the fact that there won't be a season 2
Qwem Lhjsi I've watched almost 10 episodes and I'm already too attached.
bluebu only took me 3 episodes.
Took me two lol
3 years late.. but yeah, I got too attached to the anime. I already knew that the sales didn't go well so season 2 is very unlikely. Then the KyoAni arson happened and basically acts as the nail to the coffin.
I also realized that the manga already ended years ago.. :(
Just read the manga
You guys are welcome :^)
+Impeccable Dan Dan, you are the man
+Impeccable Dan Fuck off Dan!
+Impeccable Dan #DanIsTheMan
+Impeccable Dan Thank you sir.
+Impeccable Dan omg i love you so much ive been waiting for this for so long have my babies
I feel ashamed of myself for not noticing half of these, given how much I love nichijou.. Another epic, and insightful video; subscribing to you was certainly not a mistake 🌚
Great review man! I didnt realize those zooms connect in some way (because they went by so fast) nor that the visuals often connect with the lyrics. My favorite moments in this OP are when the camera rotates around the singing girls, when the girls shake their hips, and mio's walk-and-stop pose. Running on top of a rotating heart is of course brilliant as well. I think they're very well animated and just bursting with character & energy.

Wow, you really tore this to shreds. Great analysis! I love the Nichijou OPs, and now I love them even more.
Really good video, man! I am not anime expert but Nichijou is my absolute favourite, it just clicks with my taste in humour and its quality in every aspect is awesome.
I'm a simple girl, I see nichijou, I click
Wish you did the second OP aswell
Nichijou is an amazing anime, it is easily my favorite anime of all time since i finished it
There's no character that you leave behind, even if its a supporting character that only has 0 minutes of screentime, you will remember at least one moment of that character
Really wished there was a third/second season, since there's still a ton of content in the manga
If I could have one wish, it would be for this fucking show to get a season 2 already.
+Buzz Lightyear I heard season 1 cost a crapton of money to make and they werent able to outweigh the loss with the profit.
+Nano Pixel Really? That's a reason I haven't seen yet. The main reason I've seen for it is that the DVD sales for the anime were extremely poor, only selling around 900 copies.
+Nano Pixel im not surprised with those few scenes that look like they where animated for a fight scene of an anime ova.
+MrDisgruntledGamer1 So you consider that fight scenes in anime OVAs are well animated?!
This anime would have been successful only if the 2011 incident didn't happen..
If it didn't happen, we would have season 2 already.
Nichijou is my favorite comedy manga.... I haven't actually watched the adaptation yet. But I've heard it's great!
+Pickles Jar i Think everything is amazing When you like pickle and peanut xD
Luna Moon . I consider the adaptation better than the manga
Yeah, I've since watched it (I made that comment a while ago Lol) and I agree
I usually come back here to appreciate how creative and well-animated Nichijou's OP is. I've yet to see a comedy anime that can compete with this.
If you did Nichijou, you gotta do Nichibros next.
"she also points a bazooka at us with the near insinuation that she has a crush on him", well that fucking escalated way too quickly
You're so smart, I would have never thought of this haha! Great explanation! And I wish for more anime OP explanations as those are really cool!
Jeff sounds so different in these older videos
Im pretty happy I discovered this channel. That was pretty good.
Now I wanna rewatch this show damn. You're so good at this!!!
I realize that the male voice comming from yukko's mouth could also be a reference to when Mai suggested that she still sees Yukko as a guy when trolling her on the hill.
Well I'm now subbed. This is my first video of yours I watch, and I'm here for the long ride bro.
Hey, this video got me to watch the whole series. Thanks, I really enjoyed it 🙂
2:50 omg THIS OP IS GENIOUS!!!
Damn this was impressively thorough! Great work!
“the barely contained animal rage in her eyes” perfect
the only thing you didn’t mention was how fucking CATCHY the song is. I cant stop humming it.
I always felt it was a good representation bc the asthetic shows the randomness of the show, but the songs theme is realistic and also plays into a decent amount of the cast. randomness and relatableness tend to be the two main factors of comedy slice of Life, and I feel like that's why it's a great opening.
Now the largest question that remains is, "Is the principal Hakase's grandpa?"
beautiful analysis. subscribed!
I love Squid Girl, I watched it a long time ago so I don't remember that much but I remember loving how genuine and creative it was
What are your guys' thoughts on Osomatsu-San? I don't think its op is as strong, but I think it's way funnier with its humor.
6:50s fuck man, was that really necessary?
+WikiJippo Are you sure? If he's right, it would still fit with the gag anime
+WikiJippo oh ok. Idk why, but the "more" button hasn't been showing up on a bunch of comments for me. Not all of them, but some of them clearly have more but no button
+WikiJippo Yeah. The most common victim is those "I'm early, let me make a joke" comments that take too many lines, so its a mixed blessing
+Panino Manino Childhood ruined.
I like your voice. Could we donate for a video where you are moaning for 15 minutes?
*****
Maybe... Well, definitely... But since nobody dared to ask, I had to do it.
+Alter wenkümmertderName no you didn't. but you did anyway.
+Mother's Basement So... is that a 'yes'?
+Alter wenkümmertderName This comment escalated quickly... I approve of it tho
I did not hear a no
I hoped you tell us something about the falling pills from the sky in Nanos mind, because i really wonder
My favourite comedy op is daily life of highschool boys. Because it's ridiculous, just like the show :)
6:50 still can't beleave you did this to us
oh well.. better late then never
That's one damn good filter then.
This is my favorite comedy, Good Luck Girl is a close second.
Damn son. Way impressed with your ability to provide such deep analysis on 90 second anime openings.
Nichijou is probably my favorite anime. I never thought I would like it, but I did. I have to say, I love Nichijou.
"We cap of with an adorable shot of Nano's creator hakase" I feel like it's important to state that Nano is a robot here
My fav comedy anime is Osomatsu-san, heh.. It's OP also happens to be one of my favorites, with all the colorful imagery and the way the animation is for certain scenes, even the song seems to add a nice, cheerful touch to the OP overall. Thats all ive got to say.
Nichijou is such a genius adaptation! Best comedy anime by far. Thanks for the video! :)
Great video! Glad I found it!
I'm currently watching Working!! and all the OPs so far have been pretty good to me, theyre catchy and get me pumped for the show
The part with Sakamoto is that he always fall from Professor's pranks always get trick by people.. its the contrast of the kid tricking the male teacher to be their club teacher
The best part about the song is that the tempo never changes. Only the time signature. If you clap along to the beat, the time between each clap never changes, even in the "slower" sections of the song. But the song clearly sounds slower, this effect comes from time signatures. The song starts in cut time, meaning every not gets half its normal value. so when it switches from cut time to 4/4 (meaning there are 4 beats in a measure and a quarter note gets one of those 4 beats) time, it feels slower because the notes have more space to breathe without changing the tempo. This also plays into the theme of the show in an inverse way. The pacing of the show slows down however the themes and content don't change, there are still jokes around every corner; however, it just takes a little while longer to turn those corners sometimes. :)
I remember the first time I watched this, I finished the opening, looked at my friend and said, how long has it been? He says 1 minute and I'm just in awe because it felt like I had just watched an entire story arc. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because of how much there is in the opening to watch.
Nichijou is basically Japan's own version of Looney Tunes.
Thanks for doing a breakdown of this opening. I still think that this is a hall of fame opening. It's not only one of the best openings from a comedy show, but from any anime I've ever seen.
Is it bad that I was dancing to the song throughout the entire video?
How Nichijou gets you ready to watch one of the best anime out there.
I've seen all of nichijo twice and I still love this op, this show, and these characters...
Gintama is the greatest, it's drama with a comedi twist, or the contrary.
I agree, but Nichijou is close
Personally, they're equally good in my mind, but I need to be in a specific mood to watch them and that mood is different for each
The filter that makes the male filter sound like a girl is actually super cool IMO and I think it's really creative, especially because it can provide the illusion of duet and also a larger variety in the song an ahhhhh hthat's just so cool omg
Everyone asks for a season 2 but nobody asks for season 2 plus city adaptation
this video is what made me watch it for the first time some months ago
best anime ever
Hyadain is love
Hyadain is life
And, you finally got me to check out Nichijou. I'm 4 episodes in, and not regretting it so far. I actually like the second OP better than the first one, though.
I will say this anime was one of the only animes I’ve
ever watched that made me laugh out loud
Like straight up you feel like you’re about to die
But the real question is why does everyone have square feet?
They didn't cut corners when making the show
You forgot every female is flat. The only non-flat female we see is the one in the lil bro's porn magazine.
Its the art style
Ok now it’s time for saiki k
I love this channel
oh my god that was such a good analyses
Me: Can you do one for the number 1?
Mothers Bassment: 30 minute long video on the abstractivness of the existence of the number 1.
This is hands down my all-time favourite anime
I just heard the news about Kyoto Animation... 😢💔 R.I.P. KyoAni
Well, I wouldn't say anything you've ever made is bad but this one was a biiiiiit of a stretch. I hope the Patreon requests don't lead to less quality content.
It's not you, there just isn't much to say about this OP that I couldn't get from just watching it, but good job on your success regardless.
Might you do Nichijou's 2nd OP? Nichijou is one of my favorite anime.
Do one for the 2nd op?
Both OPs also reference quite a few stuff from the manga that didn't make it into the anime.
My fav comedy anime is Plastic Nee-San
+IntroExtro my man
Do you ever review the second openings?
He usually doesn't but in SAO and JoJo he did.
when you stumble across a part you cant connect or explain,
"random" answers it all. haha
Aw man, this makes me want to re-watch this show. So fucking good.
+Hamman I want to, it was so fucking perfect.
I saw a clip of this anime on youtube and I wanted to binge it but since I didn't know the name of the anime I just tried to remember the face of the character that I saw which is Yuuko
and then after a year I saw a clip of railgun and thought that Misaka looked like yuuko so I ended up binging the railgun series thinking I might see the funny scene as a clip or somethin
after binging 4 seasons being railgun, railgun s, index, and railgun t I soon realized that maybe I was watching the wrong anime
