Personal ratings: 4.5

A show about random facts in life. It's a really unique anime. Before this, Kyoto Animation had super popular anime; The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Which really played a huge role in this anime. After which, they had a similar anime which was kind of like a similar concept from Lucky Star; Nichijou, which was, in my opinion, not nearly as nice. 

Super unique anime. Where most "Slice of Life" genre anime are either shoujo-type anime or romance-type anime, this anime is really purely Slice of Life. There are nothing else incorporated into it. 

Really love how they talk about the little things in life. When i watch this anime, i would frequently go "hey! that happened to me before!" Some parts of the show maybe hard to understand because they make reference to many animes out there. If you dont know them, it's hard to understand their jokes. Even though this show has lots of talking and little action, I still love this show (i generally prefer action type).

I'm pretty sure that many Otaku or people who watches a bunch of anime would love this show. It's really interesting to watch how they compare people who are Otaku (mostly Fujoshi and gamer-types), to normal people. People who want to know more about the normal life in Japan should also watch this show. It kind of tells us what really happens around in Japan in comparison to animes. In many ways, this anime really teach us a lot of things. 

Though a little dissapointed when they took the sudden turn to introduce so many new characters to us at once in the later half of the anime. I can understand if they wanted to introduce to us the new freshmen characters at the later part of the anime, but I didn't really understood why they only started to bring in Kagami's friends in the later part of the anime together with the freshmen. I thought that they should have just showed them in the earlier part of the anime. This way, the 2nd half and the first part of the anime wouldn't feel that different. 

I think that for this anime to really be a hit, it's all about the voice actors. I really think that the voice actors all really suited their characters, and it was really flawless.

Art ratings: 5
Love the art. Love the way they draw the hair and eyes to fit the personality of the characters. It was also really interesting to see how they draw real like people into characters. Really cute.
