This week begins with Yuuko walking in the shadows. That shall be my thesis for tonight.
Lies and hidden secrets, walking in the shadow of the truth. While Nanohara has some pretty interesting implications for fanfic (and proves Yuuko is quite the storyteller), that's not the best place to apply those storytelling talents. Nakamura and Sasahara were literally walking in the shadows, on that overcast day. Being mistaken for a thief is human error. The vending machine messing up is machine error. But Sasahara's speeches, eclipsing even mine, made it all worthwhile. Misato is, of course, in the shadows about her love, and Yoshino's shogi tile (which may in fact mean nothing) only serves to prolong the future. Maybe if she read Helvetica Standard and turned her love into a money making game. Or did a cold attack. But not that kind of cold attack. Sakamoto rested in the shadow of sickness, and the Professor once again tried a ploy for sweets. I think school life has made Nano more resilient to her tactics. Anyone who can put up with the schoolgirl trio must have a will of steel or be fully acclimated to this universe. Mio aspires to become a mangaka. Seize that dream! Addis Ababa! |

At this stage, I still have no idea what the end-game for Nichijou is. But from this episode, it seems like they're setting up Nakamura to try something on Nano next week. My wish is that the series will end with a bang rather than a whimper.
An episode mostly about Sasahara and his little love triangle, though Sasahara himself doesn't actually have much screen time at all. Wonder if they'll attempt to resolve this in the next two episodes as well. Seems like Misato also open fire on her sister. I like how her attacks drains the color from the victim, but other than that there's really no physical damage. Oh, and I enjoyed the love-love sequence between Sasahara and Nano...even if the whole thing's imaginary. It looked like it could be one of Mio's manga, if we replace Nano with another guy.

Oh damn man. I am going to kill myself when this series ends or something. No meaning to life without it ._.
Forgetting the fact that its about to end, I absolutely loved this episode of Nichijou as well. Sasahara, as way out there of a man as he appears to be, is indeed way out there and I can see why "normal" girls would be interested in him so much - that is, of course, if we can accept that Misato and Mio are rather "normal" compared to the rest of the cast; their personal quirks of drawing fabulous yaoi and producing guns that discolor people aside. Tachibana Junior apparently agrees with my sentiment there. Heavens, or at least the Vending Machines of fate, don't seem to favor him but his speech is impressive enough that not even a vending machine can remain completely impervious. Nothing to show for it but Mio believes she has gotten closer to some impervious heart during the fiasco at least. Cold attacks are indeed like love and while a million yen might sound too much to pay to reveal a petty secret - the expression on your friend's face is arguably priceless so it's totally worth it. A knight he may or not be, at least Sasahara features prominently enough in the silent fury of Mio's imagination for him to be a beautiful anpan prince. We also have a miracle moron who can insert a shy robot into the plot as yakisoba-hime. It's good that the two friends can flip each others' switch if only for the pleasure of those who watch from a world afar. I suppose Nakamura sensei fits the description of a whale eating teacher quite well - or at least a fearless neko hunter. The kitty she longs for, however, was out cold suffering under an even more unsympathetic scientist She may never get the chance to figure out the secrets of the prodigy's masterpiece but boy does the world look interesting from the perspective of those binoculars. Ethiopian Capital may not quite be an off-color Garden of Eden - for I do know someone from there personally and she is quite colorful - but Mio is quite skilled at hooking a colorful one whether she likes it or not At least the material she gets fed in should provide her a relentless supply of material to draw as she wishes for her future I have been quite shy the past year but I miss Mai's presence so ._. |

Quite a decent episode, with Sasahara taking more screen time and being the topic for a few discussions.
We should learn from him, to always have a positive look on things. The last sketch of Mio and her sister was simple yet sweet though. Nakamura looking for a cat? Can it be Sakamoto? since he was originally 'lost' at the start of the series. |

Please don't ever put mlp in this thread. You have made it unclean. please delete that.
And yeah, I happened to enjoy the Helvetica Standard this mot this week. Just so random. And I think it's pretty obvious Sakamoto is Nakamura's cat. I just hope they meet again before the series is over.

Good episode Mio's imagination about Sasahara and Nano is funny and yea it seems like Sakamoto is Nakamura's cat. Yay at Happosai doing the previews.

Episode 24 is probably one of the best of the series' episodes. It had the right amount of humor(and they're really funny) with a right balance of emotional sentiment that characters go tru in something that remarkably resembles a real story plot.
The said story revolves on the show's indomitable yet clueless Sasahara and the two young ladies who loves him. Both unwilling to express their feelings for him and both unaware of the other person's existence. Now, considering that the two girls in question are the school's most violent students, that may be a good thing. World War 3 is on hold for now. Instead we get a glimpse of a parallel day in the life of the two as they struggle with their burgeoning romantic feelings for the same guy. It all sounds like a typical mushy teen romance, but this is Nichijou and all of this is done in true Nichijou fashion, with boatloads of silly comedy. Yukko is really quite living dangerously when she goes about antagonizing Mio with her story of Nano and Sasahara. Talk about swimming with sharks. Didn't she learn from past episodes that Mio is quite crazy. I was laughing out loud with Mio's visualization a'la Shoujo romance manga. And that Nano being confused with the question about Yakisoba is justifiably. I find the ironey with Mio's triumph with able to talk to Sasahara expressed as like the iconic raising of the flag on Mt. Suribachi rather amusing. All in all, nothing seems to faze Sasahara, nothing. Will he be forever the unreachable muse to Mio's Manga-ka career? The Tachibana sisters serves as an insight on the Sasahara and who along with Mio's sister shows the connection with Mio. I was suprised that Misato was able to use her cosmic firearms on her sister. I thought that it only works on Sasahara (not that thay have any effect at all). The bit with Nakamura sensei is an extra bonus. We got to know how Nano was able to put her shirt over her key and that she can do the high jump better than Mio regardless of her handicap. It seems my guess that Sakamoto is originally from Nakamura is correct. It's amazing that Nakamura sensei came out of that "leap of faith" unscathed. Last edited by inisipis; 2011-09-11 at 19:01. |

I agree. It's probably my favorite episode, at least as far as I can remember. No padding and not a single scene I didn't love.
"I think I might be a little too young for onions." Nice try, Hakase.

Rather good episode.
I did recognize the narrator at the end this time: Ichirō Nagai who is 80 years old. Voiced both Dr. Sakezo Sado and Chief Hikozaemon Tokugawain Space Battleship Yamato. Also the Japanese dub voice of Yoda.

According to this blog. Nichijou will be airing at Tokyo MX at a prime time slot(7 pm). They seem to be shelling out so much cash here. I wonder how much of an impact will this move make. Whether negative or positive. Very skeptical this'll do anything to turn it the other way around. |
