- aaaaah the colours the animation aaah
- very Nichijou like humour as expected
- at 7:29 they employ one of my favorites: calligraphy/font annotated speech
- the city overviews are wonderful, always like when anime zooms out
- at 8:30 there is a split screen, I only know of Lucky Star having done that before (also Kyouani)
- artist/editor interaction, reminds me of Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
- at 10:31 the “armless form” appears, previously seen in Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh. Seen the greats but not popular broadly in anime?
- the “action scenes” like the wine cork scene are very much like Nichijou (like the Yukko/Mio sausage scene)
- the sections with small interludes betwixed, a la Nichijou. However the sections seem to smoothly connect to each other before going off into their own direction. This adds a lot of world building and making the location feel real and alive.
- It is interesting to see how this fleshing out of the location continues. Another anime that takes place in a relatively small town and in which that location is quite important to whole is Aria, which does that very successfully.
- Wako is a real wacko, god bless her soul
- It’s EP 1 and we already have a broccoli scene. Truly Nichijou 2.0 in spirit.
