After the all-boys
slice of life Kimi to Boku last season,
this season offers another boys-centered slice of life anime which is Danshi Koiukousei no Nichijou :D
First off, I can't
stop myself from comparing Kimi to Boku
and Danshi Koiukousei no Nichijou even
though they seem entirely different other than they are both all-boys centered
slice of life. Personally, I find Kimi to Boku
more enjoyable though I'm pretty sure that a number of people will be against
this. Sure DKnN was funny and I did laugh
at every segment but something sure is missing for me. Unlike in KtB, the jokes get stuck in my head while in DKnN, they don't entirely get stuck on me.
Moreover, KtB also offered drama and
romance while DKnN would probably only
showcase pure comedy about the typical everyday life and hopefully, it'll be
funny as is.
Getting over with my
impression on this anime and episode, like I mentioned, the per-segment episode
of DKnN sure was funny. The opening
segment really did caught me. I was first like, "aaahhhh… running with
bread on your mouth. IT IS a slice of
life" until the gundams appear! I was like, "is that a zaku? Or
whatever it is they call that? But I'm pretty sure it's from Gundam.
o(O.O)o" Well that was a pretty interesting way to start the show. I
wouldn't go part-by-part of the episode but with this first episode, I'm pretty
sure that I'm definitely watching this and look forward to every week. It partially reminds me of Shinryaku! Ika Musume because of the idea of being having many different unrelated stories per-episode.
Other than the many
hilarious parts of DKnN, what also caught
my attention is suddenly hearing Sugita, Tomokazu in
the show. I was like, "this Tabata guy sounds awfully familiar. He sounds
like Sakata, Gintoki from Gintama.
LOL." The cast is definitely amazing. For some reasons, I always get
caught with anime having a good set of casts. Particularly casts that involves
seiyuus I like listening to. Other than Sugita, Suzumura, Kenichi
is also one of the main characters and I personally note him for voicing Okita,
Sougo from Gintama as well. AND finally,
my recently listened to seiyuu is also in this show, KtB's Tachibana, Chizuru's voice, Irino, Miyu is playing
Tadakuni here.
Character-wise, I
find the three main characters equally funny. First off, Tadakuni seems to be
the one playing the straight-guy act. Straight-guys are funny because they
point out stupidities but moreover, Tadakuni actually gets played by the
stupidities like when he asked about how to get a girlfriend and when three of
them were suppose to wear Tadakuni's imouto's skirt, he was the only one who
wore it. Next up, Tabata seems to be the one with the most stupid ideas like
the one acting about talking to a girl after class as well as his stupid
exchange of lines with the Literature Girl (Hikasa, Youko).
Finally, there's Tanaka whom, on my opinion, is the one who usually follows
Tabata's stupid ideas. AND the three of them form a pretty good
trio-comedy-act.
Overall, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou seems to be in par
with Lucky Star on this one. Just talking
about the practical funny sides (and doing them as well) of the typical
everyday life. Similar to Kimi to Boku,
it's pretty good to watch given the idea that this is a pure comedy anime and
has gotten away with the typical all-girls slice of life and is now focusing on
boys' activities.
