Introduction

OPERATION COZY FAMILY.
Thousands of years ago, Enka the God of Destruction, was killed. However, with a dying breath it claimed that its child would appear and destroy humanity. Now in futuristic Japan, all of the potential children of Enka have been found and placed into a haphazard family.
Teika the lion, Gekka the jellyfish, Yuuka the oni, Ginka the cross-dressing mafia son, and Hyouka the bioweapon--along with their parents Ouka and Kyouka (the ruler of a demon underworld)--all live under one roof in a family frenzy.

If you are looking for something that will amaze you, you're wasting your time.
I rate this anime a 5 because it is a very average anime. You won't regret watching this; for an episodic comedy anime with some serious elements, it isn't bad by any means.
This is an episodic comedy anime about a group of people who've lost their family/had no family to start out with learn to live, love, and accept each other as true siblings.
However, Gintama fits the exact same "episodic comedy anime with some serious elements," has hundreds of episodes, and has many people scrambling over how good it is.
The other main theme of this anime, family bonds, is again done better in different anime. My Roommate Is a Cat is an objectively better anime featuring a cuter cat as the main heroine with the same fam…

What do you get when you take a Jellyfish, an oni, a lion, a cyborg, a cross dressing mafia member and a cat with a serious God complex? You get one of the strangest comedy anime of all time. For such a long time whilst watching this show I couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was trying to achieve nor what it wanted to be. It constantly jumped between comedy and random shenanigans to tragic backstories and drama at the drop of a hat, all of which made the show incredibly jarring and confusing to watch, resulting in some of the worst tonal shifts I have seen for any anime. Now, before I actually get into that, let me talk more about the plot for this show.
Enka, the God of destruction died one thousand years ago but upon dying, proclaimed that one of his children will carry on his will to de…

This was a very odd comedy to me. It had a plot but it was hidden amongst some of the random adventures that didn't advance the plot but made for a pretty good episode and laugh.
To me this was an ok anime for it had lots of comedy that made me laugh but at the same time it had some comedy in it that was band and didn't really hit the funny bone unless you had the mind 2 year old. Then there are the times when it gets all serious then they try to pull something funny out but you are already in serious mode and you can't laugh but you knew it was funny.
The Romance in this anime was kinda hidden but there was a feeling it was there. I would say this was more of an adventure genre than a romance since there just was not that much romance in it.
Characters in this anime kept things interes…

The basic construction of this series is a little odd. One get's used to seeing mainstream entertainment stick to fairly similar genre patterns, sometimes subverting these tropes and sometimes sprinkling some flavour from a complimentary genre (e.g. action comedy). However KKN is odd in that it attempts to blend an impressive range of genre's that one doesn’t often see together. Now sometime's when you mix lots of colours together you get brown, but in this case it's done and works surprisingly well. It makes for an engaging viewing experience as the show moves from slapstick comedy to heavy drama seamlessly. The pace of the plot and these rapid changes of emotion make for an extremely entertaining show.
All of the characters, while generally fairly outré, are well characterised and appea…

Ok, im this anime is actually not that bad. I dont know why it wasn't that famous because when i watched it, it made me laugh a lot and the special effects for when kyouka made the food.
Usually animes as stupid as this should get a high rating. A family made different people and animals and a robot will make you think that this anime is crazy and stupid which makes you wanna watch it. the art was fair but the comedy was the best. The story was pretty random and the ending was ok. The characters all have dark pasts and they all have their own special ending theme( every episode has different ending theme ). This makes it interesting and also funny.This is an anime that i recommend to everyone who likes stupid, crazy, random and funny animes such as this.

Story: The show wasnt as random as I thought it would be. It keeps on switching between drama and comedy, which is very confusing. There are way too many serious parts, and too few funny parts. If you liked the randomness of the first episode, and want to watch something similar, dont bother watching the rest. With the cast of characters, I feel that the show could have been done a lot better.
Art: The art is awesome, no com...plaints there.
Sound: I think that having different ending songs each sang by a different member of the family is a good idea for their part. The OP is also very catchy and perfect for the show.
Character: While they included a very weird returning cast: an electric butterfly, a biological weapon, a talking lion, a floating jellyfish, and a shinigami, they failed…

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki is one of the anime in which although not popular but enjoyable to watch.
I stumbled upon this anime when I was looking for an anime who has a female character that has this following characteristics: tsundere (more like Haruhi-like), loli and milf. Glad this anime has it plus it is a family story, a theme which is quite rare in anime.
Strengths: The last time I heard Nomad animating an anime, it was Sola. Then, they're doing Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. Hence, the quality of the animation is more or less the same as Sola: perfect quality of colouring. Another one is that the comedy is not depend on ecchi (Seto no Hanayome is another example) and also has drama and romance plus has a great sense of humor. The characters are quite attractive, especially Kyouka and Yuuka.

There seems to be a lack of reviews of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki where all the episodes have been watched at the time of writing so I shall attempt to fill that void.
The Diary of a Crazed Family, that should tell you something about this anime. In fact, if you were any bit serious about it, it would take your face to the curb and beat it out of you. At least for the most part. But let's get this party started shall we?
There is no real story in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, each episode could easily function as a standalone short, but that doesn't mean the show lacks continuity or has no real meat within the episodes themselves. Usually there is an Aesop or moral or something or other to be taught by Kyouka-sama and that's about the only thing that would annoy me. It's more or less a slice of life.…
