Nichijou primarily focuses on the daily antics of a trio of childhood friends—high school girls Mio Naganohara, Yuuko Aioi and Mai Minakami—whose stories soon intertwine with the young genius Hakase Shinonome, her robot caretaker Nano, and their talk…ing cat Sakamoto. With every passing day, the lives of these six, as well as of the many people around them, experience both the calms of normal life and the insanity of the absurd. Walking to school, being bitten by a talking crow, spending time with friends, and watching the principal suplex a deer: they are all in a day's work in the extraordinary everyday lives of those in Nichijou .

You should watch it because it turns homework, breakfast and school conversations into scenes of action or surrealism animated as if they were the end of the world.
It's a good fit if you're looking for absurd comedy, slice of life and incredible animation.
Unlike other everyday comedies, minimal silliness receives epic battle animation, while a robot, an eight-year-old scientist, and a talking cat barely count as oddity.
