While I appreciate the humour in this series, the absence of an overarching plot is something I can’t live without it seems. It’s a similar reason I couldn’t bring myself to finish Nichijou. While I enjoyed individual episodes, the lack of a driving force left me demotivated to continue in between. No story beat or mystery is waiting for me on the next episode to pull me in to watch the next one.
Certainly, the show had its highlights. For instance, the episodes featuring the soul-transfer alien girl and the phantom ramen were particularly impactful. These moments stood out, but unfortunately, not every episode resonated with me in the same way.
