Nichijou 01 - A comedy show in the vein of Azumanga Daioh. It was great, so much funny and weird stuff... I like this kind of show. Plus, it's actually got male characters, even if they're second tier so far? And one of the girls actually has a crush on one of the guys? That's different... and I mean that in a good way, it's interesting to see one of these shows not follow the usual "girls only" policy. And the guy she likes is a guy who's a farmer's son, but acts like an aristocrat, and rides a goat to school? Yes, this show is amusing. :lol
But yeah, very funny episode all around. Almost all of the segments were funny and made me laugh. Not all were equally good -- the fire alarm one wasn't that great (but at least it was short) -- but many were quite good, so that's alright.
So, now we learn that the girl with the key in her back is a robot. Alright, makes sense. I didn't guess that the little girl was actually the professor, though, that's an amusing twist... :)
Also, the part with the piece of food going flying around was maybe the funniest part of the episode. All of those serious, action-anime-esque scenes, for that... good stuff. :lol And then after all that she ate it... ick. :)
Oh, and that the craziness isn't some separate thing from the world of the show is something I like about it. I mean, the robot sort of explodes when she runs into that guy, sending them both flying far into the air, and it's not just completely written off, but actually factors into the plot. That guy rides his goat to school, and at the school announcements the teachers try to tell him not to do so, but he refuses. Etc. I know that one of the points of the show is the contrast between the name ("normal life" or something like that) and the weirdness of the stuff that goes on, and the fact that the show takes the weird events somewhat seriously helps that contrast work.
So yeah, good stuff. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this series. :)
