What are the greats?
So many, to name a few: Macross, Gundam, Clannad, Gintama,ect. or some less popular ones as Monster, Saikano. There are many more, but I hardly see Nichijou would fit into the list.
It's a Comedy; it's not trying to philosophise or teach you life lessons or sell merchandise. I laughed and so it did its job. It's also something I wouldn't mind rewatching in the future.
Never said teaching lessons are requires to be greats. Comedies can be great, Gintama is also a comedy. It just in another class above Nichijou. Also some really good comedies are worth rewatching. I watched azumanga daioh more than 5 times and it never fails to amuse me.

Kaze with the sick brag. I rewatched Nichijou once, AzuDai not at all (as in saw it once and didn't rewatch), and Lucky Star more times than I care to admit.
S;G anime had hella quick pacing compared to game. Game felt more grand, grueling, and fleshed out. Some moments, such as Friday the 13th and Suzuha's letter, were a lot more "holy shit..." in the game. Still, I think that pacing was the best they could do; it definitely wouldn't have worked as a ~50 episode show. Also despite solid animation I miss the game's art style.
Watched some Gintama for the first time last night. Was funny, not gonna debate about "great."
Been playing so much goddamn SD G Generation World. I put Sochie in the Turn A and she cries もう怒ったんだから！ while lobbing nuclear missiles everywhere. Gym Ghingnam and OYW Char are pretty much the best pilots.
Finished Zeta Gundam. It was like a hit and miss for me all in one show, especially in terms of cast. Camille and Char were interesting and well developed, but many other characters were either underdeveloped (Four, Ema, Yazan, Scirocco) or just fucking dumb (Sarah, Reccoa, Katz, Jerid). Haman was pretty much the only woman with any reasoning and self-respect. I also didn't like how + Show Spoiler +
the majority of relevant deaths in the show happen in episode 49, named Casualties of War. First of all it wasn't really persuasive. I didn't feel that the battle in question was somehow far more momentous and dangerous than other battles in the show. Realistically you'll have people dying all the time in combat, and some of them will be people close to the hero. Especially when you have people like Jerid and Katz doing stupid shit in battle, it's surprising they lasted almost the entire show.
Second of all it didn't offer space for mourning. It can be argued that realistically a soldier doesn't choose to have time for that. People die. That's that. But for a climax revolving strictly around channeling the deaths of those around you, I didn't think the show created much emotional resonance for the deaths. Then again, I personally didn't give a shit about Katz, Sarah, Reccoa, or Jerid. It was straight unfair that Henken, Roberto, and Apolly weren't prominent dead spirits.

Lol, looks like you aren't a fan of Tomino End. Not that I can really blame you. You said hit and miss all in one show, but overall what did you think?

Who cares if it was forgotten? It was funny and cool, that's all there is to it.

See now thats subjective. I dont think Gintama is that great but its probably the most popular one out there. Sure I like lucky star but thats just purely because the humor is somthing I can relate to. If you dont get its just a bunch of moe and chara cliches talking about random shit thats pretty pointless, and go about questioning its quality and why its up there.
Its no ones job to convince those people otherwise its just not going to happen.
Frankly the characters on it could have been any gender and ugly and it still wouldve been funny for me. Although some of the humor is ofcourse moecentric.
And yea the same goes for Azumangah Daioh its in a pretty similar vein so just because its not chalk ful of moe is irrelevant. The comedy in Nichijou is different because its over the top.
Nichijou is not a memorable anime, but its not trying to be either, but I think itll stick for me. The shows you mentioned are memorable sure but it doesnt have to be memorable to be great. I think your making calling something great like its supposed to be put on a pedestal.
its just supposed to be fun and for that it was great.

Also, translate what Sochie says in english!!!
Kamille's journey through maturity as a soldier was gripping, and the backdrop of war and scheming was solid. Overall the show was good, as I was compelled to keep watching once I picked it back up, but the parts that bothered me prevent it from being top class in my eyes. It handled many interesting ideas such as puppet rulers, atrocities, soft power, balances of power, women in the military, brainwashing, betrayal, compassion and coldness, discipline, forgiveness, etc. Some it handled in interesting ways (Kamille judging Scirocco as unfit to live versus trying to save Sarah as a gradient of forgiveness), some in boring ways (Bask's gas attack as a one-dimensional atrocity.) Despite all my criticisms, the show is ultimately pretty damn epic.
Sochie is basically saying "Oh I'm mad now!" in her normal tsun tsun tone. Not quite as incongruous as Tifa murmuring "I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past," whilst slaughtering entire fleets with the DX's Satellite Cannon.
Im fairly fluent in Japanese and all, but that episode of horizon confused the hell out of me. The exposition at the end is like someone reading a fictitious timeline and makes no sense. I'll watch to see if it improves.
I usually watch fansubs because of Japanese burnout in daily life, but those hadena subs were wrong in so many places that they felt like a distraction rather than an assist. I ended up having to turn them off. Here's to hoping someone good will translate it. I miss eclipse so much now.
I watched parts of Nichijou multiple times. Like the part where they're standing outside that temple worrying about their forgotten homework and then everything goes to shit. I was laughing so hard through that segment.
Then again my favorite comedies include Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu, Cromartie High School, 2x2 Shinobuden and that twister segment in the first few episodes of Honey and Clover before it went all coming-of-age bullshit on me. Nichijou aligned almost perfectly with my sense of humor.

It was so great!
Opening of Ep21 is like a MAD. It's pretty neat too! Also, ending of second last episode is really touching. <3

yea that ending was a real curveball, it was so inconsistent with the show but humanized it nicely. I bet everyone was expecting it to be something that antagonized Mio even more
I was almost about to drop Kimi no Iru Machi halfway through the new chapter, but thank goodness I read the whole thing. This manga better end soon because its getting repetitive...since like 25 chapters ago...
I was actually pretty satisfied with the ending. It was a nice enough closure for me, sort of on par with Azumanga Daioh's ending.
Now that I think about it, Nichijou was the only show entertaining enough in the last 2 seasons that I managed to keep up with it (as in, watch it within a week after the RSS downloader grabbed it...)... I'm looking at you, AnoHana/Hanasaku Iroha/Hen Zemi...

I dropped Kimi no Iru Machi 50 chapters ago. Is the end in sight? I'm assuming no.

Yea, but i'm at the point where I can't bring myself to give a shit about it anymore. + Show Spoiler +
The misunderstanding this time was avoided, so we're going into the next chapter with no misunderstanding
Im actually looking forward to Un-go its my darkhorse for this season. Or conversely another Yakumo/Gosick. But I always take a fancy to these kinds of shows.
From the auditions for a new supercell guest vocal position, out of approximately 2000 people who participated, we chose our new guest vocalist "Koeda". We can finally announce her first debut single with supercell!
Does this mean Nagi is out? But I swear to God I heard Nagi in "My Dearest". Are my ears deceiving me?
Edit: I answered my own question. Nagi is out, most likely for good. Koeda is the one in "My Dearest".
