The Winter Season Begins!: First Impressions Part X

Daily Lives of High School Boys  Released: Jan. 10th 2012  Studio: Sunrise  Genre: Comedy/Slice of Life

Initial Thoughts: As far as I can tell from the series' description the show follows the day-to-day exploits of three teenagers: Tadakuni, Hidenori, and Yoshitake, and is based on a popular gag manga. Sounds like a male version of Mitsudomoe - I hope it's just as funny. I'm not too concerned about it being bad because the production studio is Sunrise, but then again this isn't exactly a Gundam series.

Post-credits Verdict: This is probably the funniest anime in 2012 so far. It's not so much a male version of Mitsudomoe as it is an all-boys take on Azumanga Daioh - not as outrageous as the former, but just as hilarious as the latter. Each sketch was no more than a few minutes and the episode seemed to be over as soon as it began, but it was funny from the first joke. This is a must-see if you want to de-stress from a long day.
