Yeah, I just watched it and it wasn't awkward at all.
Okay, it was a little awkward, but at least it wasn't random.

Forget BL Mondays - BL Tuesdays! (dat BLUSH)
Nothing much to say... yet another "all about the sport" episode with the requisite team building at the end. But I am totally happy that
. What an amazing outcome.

Taichi lost like a suckah
A lot of people enjoyed it, myself included, but using it in conjunction to slander Azumanga is not good.

Someone on some anime forum is giving synopsis', but I have not heard about the ratings myself.
I've pretty much accepted that it's boned. I just want it released here, or else I will import from the Kangaroo Land (madman Entertainment) when the time comes.
Ah, well, didn't mean to offend. Just didn't quite enjoy it.
Probably why Nichibros is the superior Nichijou.
My second favorite show of last year. So good.
I didn't find it nearly as inconsistent as most people did though.

You sound pretty uncomfortable defending that scene.
Speaking of shows that are clearly better than Nichijou.
Daily Lives of High School Boys 2-4
Not my favorite comedy, but I like what they're trying to do. They sometimes fall into the trap of trying much too hard to be funny without actually writing/composing anything humorous or clever, but it's not as widely utilized as in a certain other recent comedy that shall remain unnamed.
Also, in what I'm figuring is either an amusing irony or a calculated design by the production team, this show is at its best whenever girls are prominently involved.

I'm pretty sure re-aired Nichijou is going to bomba unless they want to print new BDs of the re-air, which is just edited segments from the original. Still not sure how they're trying to recoup costs, and the disinterest in the re-air is so loud right now. Doesn't bode well for it personally.
They're just in denial.
You watch comedy films for the special effects?
hey firehawk, Taichi already won the game of life, he doesn't need some shitty card game victories. Take that!
You do have the option of waiting until you finish the series.
At this point I'd just like to see it, at least.

I'm definitely not in denial of how uncomfortable that show can be/is.
NEVER. I must post my impressions as they come, it would take all the fun out of waiting til the end of the series, unless I was marathoning it.

If you don't have much to say just pad your posts out with pictures. It doesn't need to be of the show - it could be anything!

Daily Lives of High School Boys, huh?
Might check this out, wouldn't mind seeing a new comedy anime.
I'm watching dennou Coil on my TV with my sister, which makes it a lot harder to take screenshots. Although I could just grab other pictures, as you've suggested.
The only way to get the K-On!!!!!!!!! movie BD will be to send in proofs of purchase from every volume of Nichijou.
I just hope they do some of the other things that are super awkward in the coming episodes. It'll get worse if they do.

I didn't say that I want to watch something that is ugly - I stated that, if I had to chose between A and B and B was ugly but far better than A I'd chose B every time.
It doesn't look as good as Nichijou, but there are a lot less boring parts.
Supposedly, the first episode of the re-air skims through the first-cour.
This man, he slings truth.
I don't haet Nichijou, I just really like Azumanga.
I started off kinda disliking Nichijou, but the atmosphere of the show grew on me a lot, and by the end I genuinely liked it.
Well it's not like I could take anything else away from that post.
And that's not to say it looks bad. At least, I haven't had a problem with the art/animation yet.

I'm just looking for laughter, though visuals never hurt. Watching the first ep. now, seems worth a try.
No lie, the same happened to me. But my like went overboard the ship and swam onto lovers land,(once I imported the art/guidebook I couldn't deny this).

I really have to get around to watching Nichijou. My backlog is going through the roof right now.

I think I overall dislike Nichijou but certain characters do make it interesting on occassion and the second half feels a bit better (first opening was superior though, why couldnt they keep it for the whole thing?! :/)
Though I love it for the visual things they would do like

Better late than never?: Madoka Magica streaming on Crunchyroll starting tomorrow.
Certainly few shows can claim the top-notch KyoAni production values that Nichijou can. That said, I do feel Daily Lives of Highschool Boys has below average art and animation - the backgrounds in particular are incredibly sparse. It doesn't quite go into the ugly territory though.

It's in the NHK; NHK anime isn't meant to sell BDs/DVDs, it earns money by airing and getting good ratings.
Sometimes I can't tell if the art is intentionally bad in Daily Lives of Highschool Boys for laughs. I know it probably isn't...but I just have to tell myself it is.

You totally missed her point. Imagine if Spaceballs was filmed with a really crummy camera.
Is this a stealth Azumanga bash?
I don't think people want to watch something that's ugly
except KEY fans

Nichijou has some funny parts. I mean, it's not K-On or anything like that.
Daily Lives of High School boys 5
Literature Girl and Canon in D? Excellent.

Man, this show has alot, ALOT of problems with pacing and framing. I mean, the whole crush on your adult uncle is one thing, and something I could totally overlook since there's now not one, but TWO adult rivals with sweet racks that at the least make you think "Okay, this COULD end up not turning creepy", even if the show flirts with it quite a bit, but it's all so sloppily put together, like they're trying to throw diasporate elements of the manga together to make something cohesive and failing utterly so it ends up with this mess of plot points and slice of life that has very little cohesion or is just plain unnecessary.
On a slightly related note, Sako is the kind of guy I'd actively beat the shit out of. His skill for knowing what girls look like by the sound of their voice is certainly amusing, but Jesu Christi, I'd like nothing better than to kick the shit out of him with a baseball bat. The sad part, guys like Sako are exactly the ones making this show popular. At this point, I'm watching for the guaranteed Raika fanservice next episode.

Not that I don't enjoy a finely detailed background, but I'm not sure how that would be considered paramount to the crafting of the humor in a comedy show. Maybe its just me, but what I consider visually competent and acceptable varies from genre to genre.

I haven't seen the Nichijou reair show up in the TV rating lists at all, but I'm not sure if NHK shows appear there since I haven't seen any.
I think it's more a case of having no budget than intentionally aiming for bad art. But Daily Lives is self-aware about it, as the pre-OP segments and sponsor messages show, which helps make it bearable.
Paging Thoraxes for the lowdown on what (disturbing?) Nishishi stuff was omitted from the first anime and could potentially be in the SS+ OVA.
