Nichijou: My Ordinary Life

- Season 1

(2011)

While the title suggests a story of simple, everyday school life, the contents are more the opposite. The setting is a strange school where you may see the principal wrestle a deer or a robot's arm hide a rollcake. However there are still normal stories, like making a card castle or taking a test you didn't study for.

Nano blows up. Yuko goes to drastic measures to preserve her lunch, and does a trick with a fire alarm. Kojiro makes a scene about his pet goat.

Mio is chased by a strange girl. Later she gives her notebook to Yuko only to remember she drew a dirty picture of Kojiro in it, and tries to get it back.

Nano and the Professor bring home a cat, whom they name Sakamoto and give it speech. Yuko gets into an arm-wrestling match with Mai.

Guidance counselor Izumi Sakurai tries to enforce rules on the students, in vain.

Ms Izumi hires Yuko to draw for the school paper, to Mio's astonishment as she feels she is a better artist. With effort, Mio gets her drawing in the paper... of a half-naked Kojiro!

Yuko daydreams about Mio's hair-bands. Nano, Sakamoto and the Professor play baseball without any idea of the rules.

Yuko tells jokes to Mio and Mai, but she is unable to make them laugh. Misato tries to hide her feelings for Kojiro, in vain.

Mio is baking cakes, but they are repeatedly ruined by Yoshino's pranks. One prank in particular results in her getting employed as a daifuku mascot.

Yuko ends up late, and is subject to pranks by Mai; she later thinks about her future. The Professor acts like an adult, to the dismay of Nano and Sakamoto.

After having a cold for three days, Yuko learns of a test and struggles to prepare for it. The Professor makes super glue that she, Nano and Sakamoto get stuck in.

Yuko forgets her homework, and later at a theme park enters a stupor when she realizes she has no money.

The Professor learns of Nano's wish to go to school, and prepares a school uniform for her.

The Professor makes a crow talk, to Sakamoto's jealousy. Mio and Yuko build a house of cards, an arduous task complicated by Nano and Mai.

Yuko gets into a hassle at one restaurant with a complicated menu, and another restaurant where a girl laughs at her. She later wants to dress up in a fancy costume.

Yuko tries to help Mio perform a high jump, and succeeds through an accidental head-butt. The Professor gets the laundry dirty and blames Sakamoto for it, prompting Nano to give her no dinner.

Mio tries to make a comic with the help of her friends, a task they make worse. The Professor plays hide-and-seek with Nano and Sakamoto.

Everyone throws a surprise party for Nano.
