What can I say about Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou? Except oh my god I busted my freaking gut. The series shorthand is "Nichibros."
Essentially, this show is a series of two to five minute shorts. The humor is much in the same vein as Gintama - and it is completely ridiculous and completely realistic. It's about a bunch of high school boys being idiots together. There is nothing at all supernatural or fantastic about it, unless you account for their imaginations. For instance, one of the shorts involves one of the many characters with glasses ... losing his glasses. He bursts into the classroom freaking out and enlists everyone to help him find his glasses - which are, incidentally, on his head. One of his friends notices and assumes that everyone KNOWS this and is going along with it as a joke - until they've traveled over half the school and one of the others notices that the glasses are on his head and points it out.
I laughed for so long, and I'm not even joking.
It really doesn't hurt that the main trio reminds me of my ridiculous trio of teenagers who lounge around and rag on the otaku and occasionally try to form a band or debate the merits of different actors. But hell, I adored this show and if it manages a R1 release I will be snapping that up like yesterday.
