The animation looks great and I'm glad all the nichijou fans seem to be pleased, but (just like with nichijou) I'm just sort of left wondering what on earth I'm missing. I just didn't find this funny at all? Sometimes I could identify jokes, but most of the time it was just things occurring in what seemed like an unhumorous way. I don't resent other people their humor - I'm genuinely glad different people with different tastes get their shows. I'm mostly confused because I know nichijou is held in pretty high regard and both that and this just make me wonder what it is that I'm just unable to see in it.

For me, this premiere is a 2/5 (but the extremely similar vibe to nichijou and high production values means it's probably going to be a huge win to a lot of other people)
