Season 1 episodes (26)

1 Episode 1
4/3/11
An ordinary day filled with stolen fish, an explosion, strange objects raining from the sky, and a slippery wiener incident. Follow the adventures of Yukko and Nano as they try to sort out the events of their daily life!
2 Episode 2
4/11/11
What are the proper rules for Rock, Paper, Scissors? Did you know the best place for roll cakes is…in your arm?! Remember to doodle with caution, school notes are not the place for scandalous art. And try to take committee planning seriously!
3 Episode 3
4/18/11
Always apologize to your friends, especially when you need to borrow their homework. Cats are fluffy but also demanding, isn’t it best if they can’t talk? Don’t try arm wrestling your way out of a promise—what you owe will just grow.
4 Episode 4
4/25/11
It’s no good to stress out the school adviser. Stay focused while shopping or the cat may starve. It’s important to keep your eyes on your own paper during the test! The cat may be older, but is it an adult? There’s a fine line between joking and not.
5 Episode 5
5/2/11
Mediums can attract large problems. Live in the moment, follow the rules of the game, and protect your head. Art is subjective, it’s best not to compare your work to others. Same with coolness.
6 Episode 6
5/9/11
Life is full of battles. Drawing battles, epic face offs against a pesky deer, and do-or-die battle of wills against the grossest thing ever—cockroaches! Hunger is no joke, try not to mess up your meals while camping.
7 Episode 7
5/16/11
Don’t let your day dreams get carried away during class. While the thought counts, maybe don’t give random things from home as gifts. It’s not polite to suddenly grab someone’s key or take their arm.
8 Episode 8
5/23/11
Wandering hands are trouble, flying hands are dangerous. When your joke lands on deaf ears, it may be best to stop. Time flows slowly when trapped in an elevator. Go and soccer combined do not make for a good club activity.
9 Episode 9
5/30/11
It’s rude to mess with another’s sweets—violent action will be taken. Mosquitoes during the night are the worst, don’t let them keep you or others awake. Part-time jobs could cost you your pride.
10 Episode 10
6/6/11
It’s best to own up when you’re running late, or just show up early. It’s good to try new things, but new things don’t always turn out to be good. There’s being mature, and then there’s being a nuisance.
11 Episode 11
6/13/11
When you want to be sick, it will never happen so you should just study. When you’re up to no good, you can find yourself in a sticky situation.
12 Episode 12
6/20/11
Playing a rigged carnival game will never work out in your favor. Keep hold of your money, or you’re going to have a bad time. Impersonation is the sincerest form of flattery…right?
13 Episode 13
6/27/11
Magic tricks are tricky for the sickly. Sometimes it’s scary to go alone, especially when you have to go in the middle of the night. 80 points is a good score. Well…at least it’s consistent.
14 Episode 14
7/4/11
The first day of school is very important, hopefully you find the key to fitting in. Be sure to get the order right when you’re buying someone’s lunch. Life gets turned upside down when an MVP joins the club.
15 Episode 15
7/11/11
When trying to tell if someone’s a robot, it’s usually hit or miss. If you’re going to tranquilize another person, don’t drink your own poison. A teacher shouldn’t jump to conclusions about a student’s love life.
16 Episode 16
7/18/11
Ordering coffee is a big deal. Remember, size matters. Keep your dirty secrets in the bag at all costs. A character eraser fixes nothing, but a house visit makes everything just a little better.
17 Episode 17
7/25/11
Crows are surprisingly polite, but they borrow scarves. Nothing is more intense than building a house of cards. Watch out for hair-raising traps! Sometimes it’s best to give in to the joke.
18 Episode 18
8/1/11
If you pass a crow that’s trying to intimidate you, make sure you maintain eye contact. No weapon has the power to hide love, and no joke has the power to make a heartless princess laugh.
19 Episode 19
8/8/11
It’s hard to be unlike yourself. In fact, just be yourself. Hard work will always open doors, or knock your friends into the sky. Don’t challenge the rain, things could only get worse.
20 Episode 20
8/15/11
Can you trust your friends to help you draw manga? Can you trust your friends to find you in a game of hide and seek? These are life’s real questions.
21 Episode 21
8/22/11
There is no greater challenge than confessing your love. Except, perhaps, defeating someone who holds the power of an ancient weapon.
22 Episode 22
8/29/11
When trying to disprove ghosts, the true evil spirits may just be people. It’s best to be grateful for whatever you can get, especially around Christmas. Besides, at least you didn’t get bit by a dog.
23 Episode 23
9/5/11
Sisters put mysterious ingredients in jelly and clean your room when you’re not there. While they may seem like a pain, their graduation photo makes for a great bargaining chip.
24 Episode 24
9/12/11
Don’t go after the wrong cat. You can’t finish a report if you let your imagination run wild. When your crush thinks your money is a gift, be sure he doesn’t use it on a faulty vending machine.
25 Episode 25
9/19/11
Glasses don’t feel pain when they’re broken, but hearts certainly do. In love or baseball, you never know what’s going to happen—that’s why it’s fun.
26 Episode 26
9/26/11
All she wants to do is live an ordinary life, but maybe Nano has been living one all along.

Nichijou is, without a single doubt, one of the best slice of life made in the long history of slice of life. Its action-packed over-exaggerations of everyday life will undoubtedly keep all audiences in the edge of their seats, not knowing what sort of crazy antic will the show pull off right in front of them, be it a rigged carnival game, a deer attack or even an atomic bomb. The story itself is seemingly simple; it follows the daily life of fellow classmates Yukko, Mio and Mai, paralleled by the (not so) peaceful Shinonome household. While the main characters are undoubtedly robust, the show also brings a variety of supporting characters, all equally unique and lovable to an extensive degree. Many of the gags are easily understandable and fun to laugh at, though there are some jokes that rely heavily on the knowledge of Japanese culture (most notably the 'Helvetica Standard' segments). Though its intense energy in its presentation would surely give you a good chuckle regardless, even if the references don't exactly make sense immediately. The animation and voice acting further increases the level of intensity that Nichijou has to offer, with each frame giving the biggest impact, along with every voice lines being delivered with utmost passion from each voice actors. Overall, if you are a fan of slice of life, comedy, anime or even just a random passerby, Nichijou is an absolute recommendation, which will guarantee you, in the best scenario, an abundance of laughter and heartfelt joy, while in the worst case scenario, a few chuckle.
