Nichijou - My Ordinary Life Episode 0 is a prequel to Nichijou I assume, as I watched this first. That said, if it is, it's one of the greatest possible slice of life-comedy anime intros I may have ever seen, because it offers so much in such a little timeframe. In just this one episode alone, you get a great perception of the type of character Yukko will become, as well as meet a rather unusual scientist, a talking cat, and her possibly clockwork-inspired guardian Nano. One of the things this episode did best was in its use of comedic timing and giving each part of the episode room to breathe and develop. You truly get a sense for who everyone can become in the main series here, and a lot of these gags are incredibly set up. The opening in particular, gives development to both Mio and Yuk…

Nichijou Ep. 0 is about cute girls doing cute/fun things as gag humor in 3 chapters. The artstyle, animation and voice acting are gorgeous and adorable.
The first chapter made me laugh, the other two are cute and somewhat interesting to watch due to the unexpected outcomes, but I wouldn't consider it that funny.
This OVA chronologically might take place after the end of the anime, and it's new content not present in the manga. Still, being released before the main series and being titled Episode 0 makes it suggestive it doesn't matter the order you decide to watch it.
If you want to dig into Nichijou or have already watched it and crave more, I think it's worth watching. It's not a bad episode, it's well directed, but some people might find it boring.

I have no idea why this is titled Episode 0, as that just seems unnecessary and confuses the timeline, but still I’m happy this exists. More Nichijou in whatever form I can get will always be a good thing for me.
This continues in the same wonderfully random, illogical vein as the series, but somehow plays out slower and takes its time more. It’s as if this is Nichijou Light, a more palatable version of the main meal, and maybe that’s the reason for its existence. To test the waters. To prep the audience. (I’m just speculating, of course.) If you like the series, then you’ll like this OVA.

Welcome to Nichijou Beta!
"Episode 0" is a fairly accurate title for this OVA, as it's a part of the Nichijou series yet oddly unfamiliar in many ways. You're certainly not wasting your time by watching it, but don't expect the same experience going into the main series.
Quite a few things stood out as dissimilar to me. For starters, the episode was way slower than your standard Nichijou experience, with less events, skits, and transitions involved. Rather than the episodic division into several "parts", only three events were shown (one with Yuuko & Mio, one with the Shinonome family, and one with the entire Trio Sucharaka). Granted, while the three events were great and captured the spirit of the characters well, they felt drawn out and lacking much of the series' energy.
In many ways…

Okay, I do not understand what this 'episode 0' is about. Skip this episode and go directly to watch episodes 1-26, because this one has nothing to do with the actual anime; it's just some try-to-be for the REAL anime. Believe me, this episode is not worth watching. PLUS it makes you think the following episodes will be all like that, when it isn't like that at all.
This first episode is boring, the music, the expressions, it's all boring. Unlike the following episodes, which are all amazing and perfectly well-done and I couldn't stop laughing with all of them. It's as if this had been directed by some completely different person than who directed the rest of the episodes. I sincerely can't understand how this is so bad, being one of the biggest Nichijou (specially Yukko) fans that exist…

I give this scrawny little OVA a 70/100
We all know Kyoto Animation, don't we? The famous anime production company quite well known for making Key's visual novels (namely Air, Kanon, and Clannad) and ridiculous slice of life moe manga (Lucky Star, K-On, etc.) into anime, all of which become their cash cows. Quite honestly, I prefer them when they're doing visual novel adaptations, not adaptations of moe/slice of life manga. To me, Lucky Star was great, K-On the first season was okay, K-On the 2nd season was just tedious to get through, and now there's this anime, Nichijou (My Ordinary Life as dubbed by Crunchyroll).
I swear, the premise for this is as dull as dishwasher. Little girls living their lives and going to school with animals and otherworldly creatures while they consider everyt…

This was a decent episode to show what this anime will offer you when it start's airing in April. It showed a world where everything isn't the way it seems. Where you have a cat that can talk, a student who's a robot and a little child who seems to be a scientist or a doktor.
The characters in this episode are both adrorable and fun watching.
So if you like slice of life slash comedy anime's or if you liked Lucky Star then you should check this episode out.
