This show is amazing! I would really recommend buying it and watching it all the way through. The comedy is top quality and perfectly timed and the animation and soundtrack are both brilliant! I've watched it around 4 times, each time comprehending what some of the worded jokes meant more than the last. If you don't like this show, then you probably have a bad taste in anime...

If Calvin and Hobbes were a TV show, this would be it. You never know what the show is going to throw at you next, and it's always accompanied by a fun animation style.

Hard to find awesome comedic anime nowadays. Nichijou is the best comedic anime I've seen in years. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
