Maybe expecting this to be anything even similar to Nichijou was a big mistake, but I had hoped this anime would be something similar to it. Still, I think there's a lot of appeal in just reliving the high school days and the unique experiences it allowed us to have with friends. And I got none of that with this anime. For a final comparison to Nichijou, despite it being insanely more whacky and outlandish, I found it way more relatable than this anime.
Daily Life of High School Boys is really frustrating because it continues to be on the cusp of something fun and relatable. But my hopes really started to die away by the first episode. I thought it was charming that the characters would just decide to randomly pretend they were in an RPG regardless of how dumb they looked, and I think th…

Soo hear me out , I really had decent expectations for Danshi , I really did . But in the end as you can see it really disappointed me . Let me explain where Danshi fucked everything up BIGTIME .
To starts things with , the story DOES NOT EXIST . It really is 0/10 , the anime is all about cringe-worthy moments . Also , I do not remember my Highschool days being that immature and dull at the same time . Someone gotta point that out for fuck shake , why is everyone in this anime so narrow-minded and opt to act like a 5-year old kid ? I understand that Sunrise wanted to show us that it is comedy and we don't have to take it seriously , but I really cannot see myself liking this anime .
In the end of every episode we were shown the "Everyday lifes" of Highschool Girls ??? Or smth like that .…

We are all aware about how first impressions are a very important factor if you’re going to enjoy a show.
My first impression of Danshi was it was a more annoying version of Kimi to Boku.
The comedy style seems to be the same as Drifters comedy at times. That immediately turned me off from that show.
What also doesn’t help is this is indeed another episodic show that I continue to have issues with.
I was basically checked out by episode 8. I knew what was going on. I knew nothing was going to get better. I didn’t care for the rest of the show.
There was a scene in episode 2 where Tibata told to ignore Tanaka. I was wondering if I should just ignore this entire show.
That is another issue with this show that Tanaka and Tibata are one of the most annoying duo I’ve seen in a long time.…

First off, I died watching this show. If you're looking for a comedic anime this one is pure gold. The situations or little skits it shows, will most likely crack you up because its just stupid. Though the show doesn't really have much of a plot it mostly just exist for comedic purposes.
I didn't really see the anime having any problems besides not having a plot, but it doesn't really need one for the type of anime it is. I can almost guarantee you will like this show if you give it a shot. If you want something that will make you laugh then this is probably it. If it doesn't then sorry guess it's just your type of humor.
Definitely the funniest anime I've ever seen. Give this one a try, it could become one of your favorite anime!

Words cannot describe the ingenuity behind what seems to be very common and ordinary everyday practices that we sees them as 'jokes'. Every single skits have been re-watched more than my re-watch of Christopher Nolan's Batman films and the Star Trek series. The show has me grinning like a fool for hours to end, even after I've finished the show and wished for a season 2.
I also like how the simplicity of the art style adds up more volume to the humor, especially when it comes to characters expressions from time to time and does not rely on over-the-top moe characteristic for the audience to instantly ship a character that they like. If you love a masterpiece of an SoL, then this is the show for you!

This anime is obviously about High School Boys and their daily lives, or should I say, the highlights of their daily lives?
It's a really good anime with lots of weird and awkward moments, which will make you smile and laugh.
Story: 7 of 10
There is no exact plot in this anime, but only short story arcs in each episode. Each arc contains some of the characters, either in their High School Building, by the riverbank, or in Tadakuni's house, convenience store etc. Each arc is quite short but funny, albeit the endings aren't that good. Each arc may just end as if they're on square one again, leading to nothing at all. Most of the times, you won't be able to see what actually happens. One character hits another but then, the ending is just with a picture of what happened, with the person i…

“I suppose if we couldn't laugh at the things that don't make sense, we couldn't react to a lot of life.” – Hobbes, from Calvin and Hobbes.
As a stressed out college student, I constantly find myself looking back at my high school years and remembering the fun old times. My all boys school meant that we could rein in free chaos without the worry of having to act proper around girls, so my class and I did all sorts of pranks and whatnot. From playing football in the hallway, to accidentally taking down a security camera, to taking down the school flag and wearing it as a cape, lighting up fireworks in class, all those things. Truth be told, high school was boring, but my classmates made it so much fun during our free time. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what Danshi Koukousei no Nichijo…

The story actually does not deserve a 10, but each episode had its own individual story that was pretty creative and all-out hilarious. This was probably the funniest anime I've seen, especially the starting scene. The opening song is great and the characters are really likable. This is not a sentimental anime that will make you cry, but just a comedic anime made for laughs. If you just want a funny anime this is my favorite.
Edit: I've rewatched clips of this show over and over again on Youtube and it still never gets old. However, if you aren't immediately into the sort of comedy given by the first couple scenes then I suggest dropping it as it won't be as enjoyable for you.

Danshi Koukousei No Nichijou - Daily life of high school boys.
I always watch all-girls, co-ed slice of life, school anime. This is the first time I watch all-boys slice of life. I would expect to be boring but this anime doesn't allow me to hate it. I love it!
Story: 8/10 . The story is decent for most, no ecchi scene, mostly boy's stories. It's just a slice of life.
Art: 8/10. I wonder why most of the girl characters doesn't have eyes. Only few of them, but the artwork is well done.
Sound: 9/10. OP and ED are great Character: 9/10. Funny, overreact, has good sense of humor.
Enjoyment: 10/10. I laughed so hard for every episode, it's really a funny, relaxing yet fun to watch.
Overall: 9/10

One thing “Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou”, or “Daily Lives of High School Boys” taught me is that high school boys acting silly is a universal occurrence. If you’ve ever been a part of a tight-knit group of friends while growing up, then DLoHSB is something you should watch. It’s an atypical Shouen anime that revels in the camaraderie, trivial conflicts, and the general antics one engages in as an immature young male.
DLoHSB is a comedy that follows a group of friends as they simply live their lives. That’s it. It’s serialized in the least possible way; every episode consists of a series of short, comedic vignettes that may or may not be revisited as the series progresses. So those looking for an overarching narrative that begins in the first episode and satisfyingly concludes in the final…

Story (9/10) -
Daily Lives of High School Boys is a 12 episode series based off a manga by Yasanobu Yamauchi. The series follows the daily lives of high school students, specifically, the comings and goings of the all male student population at Sanda North Boys High. Yup. That’s it. Don’t look for anything more earth shattering than that, guys. That’s all you get with Daily Lives; odd boys doing odd things…just like Lucky Star is cute girls doing cute things. This show doesn’t try to rewrite the book on what a high school comedy can be; it just uses a tried and true formula and rolls with it, using the everyday conversations and situations high school boys face on a day-to-day basis to push things along. However, the thing that makes this show stand out more than other high school comedi…

Ah, slice-of-life. If you are not one to enjoy putting yourself into the character's shoes... well you should at least give it a try for this anime. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is quite different from other comedy anime because rather than having a continuous plot, it has various skits. I am not exaggerating when I say this is my all-time favorite comedy anime (I have not watched Gintama yet so maybe my opinion will change).
Story: 7/10
Although there is no real constant plot, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou does not fail to implement various, entertaining scenarios. Each skit is not too short and most importantly catches my interest. Laughing at a bunch of mischievous boys doing the most uncanny things, what else do you want from an anime with this title!? Also, each skit contributes to fu…

I haven't seen many anime to begin with, and I sure as hell did not know what to expect from a highschool themed anime after series like FMA:Brotherhood, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Death Note and the likes.
But I must say, this surprised me alot. I thought something like DKN would have bad humor, recurring boring situations, and overall nothing all too fancy for enjoyment. I was wrong.
The comedy and satire is excellent, the characters have great, well, character in them, all in all being very different which adds to the enjoyment and interactions between any particular character combination were very well-written and professionally acted. Again, I don't know much about what a good anime is, but this is my personal review and damn I loved it.
The art is very neat, as to be expected from a…

What word would you choose to describe your high school days? Is it stressful, exhausting, slave-driving, or even fun in some cases?
In a time period where almost every anime has some elements of school life or the words "High School" involved, it usually puts a damper on the experience as a whole depending on how you look at it before you may have even watched it. (Heck, even after you're dead you go back to high school according to Angel Beats).
So when you have an anime centering not around the overall experience and tales of friendship that take place in a high school, but the quirks and antics that are possible in the lives of boys in the depth of their adolescence, what do you get?
Well, insanity. That's the best word to describe Daily Lives of Highschool Boys.

What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you hear “high-school slice-of-life comedy anime”?
If your answer is “boring,” then congratulations—you and I used to be on the same page. I used to think those kinds of shows were all recycled jokes, recycled uniforms, and recycled tropes. Then Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou—or Nichibro, as I’ll call it from now on—came along and punched that opinion straight in the face.
Now, you might be thinking, “Wait, a comedy about high school boys? What’s so great about that?” And honestly, I don’t blame you. On paper, it sounds like the anime equivalent of lukewarm tea. But Nichibro stands out for one simple reason: it does exactly what it sets out to do—make you laugh—and it does it brilliantly.
The title says it all: The Daily Lives of High S…

M'kay, this kinda bored the crap outta me, now I know that there are those of you out there who totally love this type of genre but I wasnt feeling this at all.
Imagine some camera crew following you around all day filming everything you do, now maybe that would be awesome; but if your life isnt any more exciting than mine, it would be a pretty shitty show. So this is supposed to be daily lives, but as a highschool boy (or near enough) I know that my experience was waaay different from this and I wasnt able to relate to anything going on.
The story, thinner than anorexia; the characthers, pretty boring; the overall enjoyment, I didnt really feel any.
Well, right now Im being a big downer, so lets get to something positive. The ending was actually really good (perhaps because I was just s…

Pros: Great comedy, short length, skit and episodic format make it easy to pick up
Cons: The skits can fall a little flat and/or be lost in translation, I personally found the Highschool girls are Funky skits to be a bit eyeroll worthy.
Bottom Line: A funny series that doesn't take too much investment to watch. Look at the first few episodes and see if the comedy clicks with you.
Comedy:
Daily Lives of Highschool Boys is first and foremost a comedy series. There isn’t a lot of time spent on character development or any overarching plot. Like Azumanga or other 4koma-based shows, it’s broken up into shorter skits which keep things fresh. Even if one skit is unfunny to you, the next might be good. It parodies anime clichés and also elements from a real teenagers life. While I’ve seen a lot…

Warning: There will be a copious amount of taking my comedy anime seriously
Daily Lives of Highschool Boys is a satire of anime's depiction of highschool life. The entire name and set up is a direct reference to the glut of anime about a bunch of girls doing cute shit in highschool, although it frequently jumps into referencing romance anime or other dude wish fulfilment stuff. From the very direct referencing of K-ON to the highlighting that boys 'are only any use in sports or battle anime', it's constantly lampshading this genre. But what makes it better than most anime's attempts at parody is it's not a 'playful parody'. It's not doing the exact same thing these other anime are doing except pointing to itself occasionally and shouting 'look at me, I'm doing this thing that other anime…

"Everybody's youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness." F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Oh youth and the epic journey called growing up. Most people tend to, in a way or another, be deeply defined by their teenage years. High school is a fond memory to some and a painful one to others, but I think everyone can agree that it is a unique and special period of our lives, one that has no equal. Most people quickly relate the words High School with friendship, as the friends you make in that period of time seem to leave a permanent mark in your memories and so does the time you spend with them, most of which is filled talking about something random or even stupid, laughing at simple and normal things, sharing mutual interests and hobbies, talking about the opposite gender in a playful or perverted w…
