Hello, in this article I will recommend to you an anime called Danshi koukousei no Nichijou [男子高校生の日常] and also talk about other animes of the same genre, the famous insane and nonsensical nonsense comedy animes.
For those who don’t know, nonsense comes from English and can be translated as “meaningless, contradiction, absurdity or incoherence“, something quite similar to Western children’s cartoons, most of which do not follow a story or care about the laws of physics, reality, and logic.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
This is one of the most famous and popular nonsense comedy animes in the world. As the name suggests, the anime talks about “the daily lives of high school boys”.
Synopsis: Tadakuni [忠邦], Hidenori [秀則] and Yoshitake [ヨシタケ] are students at a boys’ school, Sanada North High School. This is a tale about what their daily lives are like as students. Winning the basketball tournament? Finding true love? You won’t find any of that here.
If it’s provoking random arguments while hanging out with friends, meeting a strange coworker at a part-time job, or even letting imagination run wild on a windy afternoon, we all experience the show of the ordinary, but true-to-life. Themes at one point or another.”
The anime consists of 1 season with 12 episodes and 3 OVAs. Directed by Shinji Takamatsu, the anime features the genres of Comedy, Shounen, and School Life. The anime is from the year 2012.
Is it worth watching Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou?
Well, the anime is super funny, entertaining. It will never leave you bored. The main characters study at an all-boys school, which makes it difficult for them to get a girlfriend or something like that.
We also have the “literary girl,” which is one of the funniest parts of the anime. At the end of some episodes, the anime also features an extra “episode,” 女子高生は異常, which would be something like “abnormal high school girls.” This would be the opposite of the anime. So, if you like to laugh a lot, the anime is recommended;)
The Best Nonsense Comedy Animes
Of course, we cannot end an article with just the recommendation of Nichijou; there are several other animes of the same style and sometimes even better. Let’s see some that you can watch below:
Nichijou – Another anime with a similar name that might confuse some, but this time this anime shows the story of girls living a completely abnormal life. It even shows a principal fighting a deer.
Gintama – One of the most popular comedy animes in Japan, and it still dominates the myanimelist ranking. The anime has many episodes just like Naruto and One Piece, and even follows a story with drama and action, however, the anime is full of parodies, references, and nonsensical things, fortunately, it doesn’t stray too far from reality like some. Gintama tells the story of a group of ruleless samurais living in a futuristic world with aliens.
