aka Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou aka what I thought Kimi to Boku would be (only it wasn't)

First episode was released a couple of days ago. It's a series of small segments about three typical high school boys dicking around. There's a bit of meta humour regarding anime tropes, too. Since the majority of our user base is by far boys, adolescents and/or idiots, this should be right up your alley.

Seems amusing enough so far.

It was incredibly funny, but not actually too fun.

I definitely expected something along the lines of Kimi to Boku when first watching this (not a good sign, since that show sucked). However, I was pleasantly surprised, and definitely laughed a lot more than I thought I was going to.

Way to go, Sunrise, I finally enjoy one of your shows again.

The anime looked sketchy at first, then I read this forum, then I watched it, and I giggled.

Sounds Like:

It is going to be a reminiscent story of pathos and sadness through out their adventures in campus, and where they will mature and learn new important things about human life.

Looks Like:

Another humor anime. Nevertheless, like Gintama, it's a piece of common crap about insanity and madness in real life as the one who believes in reality are crushed and morals depleted. Poor victims, in the end, they have to obey to insanity and forced to work out chaos.

There's no help that this series remind me so much of Gintama. But still the comedy is not as crazy Gintama
Anyway this anime is hilarious, I'll be waiting to watch this every week :)

Some skits fall flat for me (like Convex Mirror Girl), others have a lame conclusion but gain points from the execution (School Traditions) and others are funny throughout (RPG). It's like acting out jokes, so even if one is bad, another one soon comes along. This series is a bit hit-and-miss, but I still like it.

Also I love when the guy with the glasses goes "IMOUTOOO!" whenever he sees black haired guy's sister. Speaking of, it weirds me out that her own brother would steal AND WEAR her bra.

This week was mostly lame, although I liked the ping pong game. The "summer activities" skit gave me a smile, but wiped it by the punchline. Hidenori's probably my favourite character. I like his internal monologues. Odd coincidence how he had a skit about a mole hair and his voice actor also did Kyon, though.

It's still managing to put a smile on my face more often than not, but then again, I was in the mood for something dumb today.

Also, this made me laugh a little bit.

Not as good as the previous episodes but I agree with Sinistro it still made me smile. Funny enough the first president name I can think of is Obama too :D

This is one of the tolerable random genre animus for me. Unlike Nichijou, this show is well balanced on randomness and comedy; pretty much a similar tier like Arakawa under the Bridge but this one still can't beat AutB... currently

Well, it's been getting better again. 4 was pretty good, but 5 was very good throughout, and not just because of the return of Literature Girl (and Hidenori's epic monologuing skills). In fact, it's probably the best episode so far.

Its portrayal of girls is pretty negative most of the time, but I'll choose to believe it's a parody of the way boys are portrayed as less sympathetic than girls in the more prevalent female-centered slice-of-life anime (well, presumably; I've never actually watched one). Or perhaps it's how high school boys view girls during their confusing viewpoint transition from "eww, cooties" to "why am I getting a boner?"

5th episode is good, but I like 4th better.
The school festival is hilarious, it may be just me but the ghost house attraction they made is very creepy. Not to mention the student council (one sided) rivalry :lol:

Sinistro, you make a very good point there.
The more I watch Highschool Girl are Funky, the more I think it's to make fun of all the anime that centered on highschool girl

Not as laugh-out-loud as last time, but it did a stellar job cementing my respect for the student council. Student council for best character.

If you like comedy anime, this title won't disappoint you.
Don't bother about people that say "thisshowsigay" because they are clearly never watched it

Poor literary girl, they should give her a name already. The indoor adventure is quite funny, I like how Hidenori act as the bathhouse owner :>

My favorite skit was when Motoharu's sister and her friends bullied him. At the end when she said they were spending the night at their place his expression was priceless.

Another favorite was the one High School Girls are Funky skit where they told Karasawa to go die and ask why does he live so hard for (or something like that). Then he leaves and comes back and throws candy off the balcony. Then the two girls acted like wild animals growling while eating chocolate/sweets. xD

The episodes have not been as funny as the first couple ones unfortunetly, but still pretty entertaining.

"Toshiyuki-kuuuun! Hey, Toshiyuki-kuuuun!"

"Huh?"

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?"
"WHY DO YOU TRY SO HARD TO LIVE?!"
"HUUUUH? EUUUUUH?"

Contenders for best series quote.

I detest posting twice in a row in a thread but I wanted to say that this week's episode (11th) was pretty awesome in almost every respect. Gj, show.

Finally get to watch the 11th eps

Love the punchline on Hidenori's monologue, and the High school girl section is one of the funniest. The archdemon still hasn't lost her fangs :lol:
Kinda sad that next week is the last episode

Sad to see it end. It was an almost consistently great show. I've heard they've aired almost all the manga material, though, so a second season in the foreseeable future is unlikely. That's too bad.

I definitely won't miss the feeling of embarassment I had when googling for "The Daily Lives of High School Boys online", however. If someone had ever peeked over my shoulder, I'd have had a Hidenori internal monologue for sure.

Finally get my self to watch the final episode. I can't stop laughing from the frankfurter volley :lol:
Now that Daily live of high school boys and Gintama is over, there goes my weekly dose humor. Hope the next season will have a new title as good as them
