Is there any show like Azumanga Daioh (not necessarily the school theme, but joke sketch comic type thing) that I should be looking out for? Or already be watching?

fine you big baby with your netbooks! ;P
Well to be fair, Nanoha feels more like a mecha anime with all the mechas swapped out for lolis. It may have "Magical Girl" in the title but it ain't fooling me!
What did Uchip do?

It's a slowly paced show, but it pays off. Glad you are keeping with it.
And just because I want to, short-haired Erika (not spoilers, it's fanart):
I don't wanna remember.
NICHIBROS
Nichijou is pretty good

Yeah, but mecha pilots aren't trying to befriend their opponents.
It's not that. If I hadnt told you a mod would.
Just saving you the trouble.
Also your avatar is cute as fuck.
Being chinese is hax. I knew it!

Preemptively suggesting Nichijou!
You can also try Nichibros (Daily Lives of High School Boys).
nichijou or nichibros. can't go wrong with either one.
Clearly the only answer is to watch both of them.
You forget that Nami is in possession of the most common superpower.
I kid, Nami's status as a "weak" character definitely encroaches too much on the defining characteristic that separates Usopp from the rest of the crew. Oda just happens to draw attention to Usopp's weakness far more than he does Nami's, which is ironic considering that Nami is technically weaker than Usopp--he did
create the Clima Tact
read: a bunch of weather-related powers
wait, Symphogear sold more than Rinne?
Wrong.

i know.
and I know. loli with a lolli!
I'ma stick with cute chibi avatars from now on. A lot easier to do vs trying to get some detailed thing down to 100x120.
Have you hoped on the inu x boku train? You really can't get any more cajun than this...

Nichijou, Kill Me Baby, Hidamari Sketch(warning, this one may put you to sleep)

Tomodachi wa Mahou
I thought this was one of these team battle things. Guess not
Liked both series but Nichijou was better.

Nope. Just the worst anime ever made. That I've watched anyway.

The physical form of blasphemy
I dunno if this is OT or not, so I apologize in advanced, but I just watched "Dead Leaves" for the first time. Does anyone have a recommendation for something along the lines of being that crazy? lol

It's perfectly fine to ask, don't worry.
And to answer your question check out Panty & Stocking.
Kill Me Baby 13 END
Nichijou was funnier and better paced than this. Let that sink in for a bit.

Detroit Metal City, Cromartie High School, The Daily Lives of Highschool Boys and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt were directed by the same guy. Check em out.

Yes for Ryuunosuuke, I should rewatch.
I love Nichijou. I actually just finished the final episode. Great show all around. Sure not all the jokes are funny (a handful really are), and sure some of the episodes just go nowhere. See... the thing is, it's relaxing. I can mellow the fuck out before bed for half an hour, see some fine animated action sequences that come outta nowhere, and maybe catch a chuckle or two. It's about expectations! It won't bust your sides... it'll stroke them slowly while you wear a daifuku head and Mio whispers in your ear.
Dead Leaves was pretty insane. Redline is crazy and really well animated if you like cars/racing.
Wasn't there a thread back in gaf saying Ippo = Batman?

Congrats! You are one of the magnificent chosen few that can appreciate Nichijou. Thumbs up for good taste!

Symphogear is the "surprise" hit of the season.
Chihayafuru 19
Like all good shounen(esque) shows, this one stretched one match across several episodes.
Of course, Chihayafuru does it with a lot more class.
The match between
continues.
After a scene in a refreshingly well drawn non CG vehicle,

Good stuff. GREAT STUFF.

The match between
members of Chihaya's group
Kana ends up beating Desktomu and then Nishida barely beats Taichi. Just about everyone advances in Class rank.
Chihaya talks about how proud she is of everyone and that they should compete as a team in the next tournament.
cut to Arata, who vows to regain his position as a top Karuta player
Good stuff. GREAT STUFF.
Fate/Zero 11
OMG THIS SHIT IS INCREDIBLE.
Most of the episode revolved around three servants just chilling around doing some debating and sipping some wine but holy balls it was fuckawesome. The way motherfuckin' Rider put Saber in her place was simply amazing.
Rider is so fucking boss. Goddamn.

We don't have sales figures for Symphogear yet.
It warms my heart to see people discovering the glory of Rider.

Sket Dance 26 (Gintama crossover)
It had a lot of faults, but that was pretty good, still; not because it was all that funny, which it wasn't, but that it was obviously Shinohara's way of thanking Sorachi, given the history between them, and it carried that emotional weight, indeed. The anime was nowhere near as upfront with it as the manga chapter was, but I almost prefer the use of proxy, rather than the manga's breaking of the fourth wall. Still as touching.
And I've heard a lot of the complaints about this ep, but honestly think it to be a case of aligning expectations. I, like many, I'd argue, saw the announcement of Gintama x Sket Dance/vice-versa, and said "Oh, shit. These are going to be romps!" And, to be perfectly fair, Gintama's take was. Sket Dance's, on the other hand, took the different approach; being not Sket-Dance the gag anime, but Sket-Dance the emotion bomb, but in a different manner.
All of that's speaking exclusively of the narrative. The production was HORRIBLE--bad art/animation, but props to the Steins;Gate reference. Tuturu~
