God Is Dead - Off-Topic

Posted by artofwar420 (6171 posts) - 10 months, 28 days ago

I'm not one to partake in anime that much (if at all), but when I found out about Nichijou first in hilarious Youtube clips I just had to watch the full episodes. And well, it tickled me in ways I had forgotten I could be tickled. If I could describe it in one word Nichijou is bananas. Straight up bananas.

For those of you who've watched it, the above image will make more sense. And for those who haven't I can't recommend it enough.

I've heard of this show and what the fuck.

@Video_Game_King: This is what it did to me.

Wow, at first I only read the the blog title and then after clicking it saw the picture and before I even actually started reading the post I figured out you were about to go in on Nichijou!

While it was airing, I was actually close to dropping Nichijou until I watched Principal vs. Deer for the first time and almost lost it in my laughter. There are some genuinely hilarious moments in some of the later episodes of this series and I'm glad I watched it all the way through. It's great for its slapstick comedy, a kind of humor I haven't really ever seen done so well in an anime until Nichijou.

An American perspective on a Japanese show which pokes fun at Japan's lost youth via the dissection of Neitschze's philosophies.

Surely nothing will be lost in translation.

@EquitasInvictus: Totally! I was like "this is too fucking clever, am I really watching this?" I questioned reality many times. Though slim, I hope there's a second "season" or whatever they're called.
