Kamugin you always find new ways to surprise me, Gurren lagaan and kill la kill shamelessly embodies shonen tropes and I know how much you despise those, I can see those who like it as being guilty pleasures by how stupid it is, but I feel like my IQ can drop by watching how moronic these heroes can be. But your assessment was spot in your enjoyment can be affected positively or negatively by your mood, and I am starting to believe you more.

Nichijou is not always absurd mind you it is a variety kind of show, there is heart and relatable humor like forgetting homework or rigged carnival games as well but there some ridiculous stuff like deer wrestling and a gun girl.
these two clips have heart

Nichijou doesn't follow a formula just watch these short scene it is not always a comedy and that is a big plus on my book, it's unpredictability and variety works well in its favor you won't know what you are going to get.

Also kamugin, thank you for responding, I know it might not seem like a big deal but I am grateful you responding so quickly too, I expected you to respond in a week and we can air out disagreements and still have fun talking, too much people i see can't accept disagreements and it is painful to watch.

Danshi admittedly is a mix bag, it's humor sometime relies on dragging conversation and banking on a final punchline kind of joke(not all shorts but some), but I like the 2 minute story episode structure as it felt easy to see shorts I was meh and some that crack a smile on my face (nichijou is a lot better)

You do understand me well in my highs and mostly lows. Gurren Lagaan I've watched years ago, perhaps I was more forgiving back then. Tipical shonen manga that are enjoyable despite having utterly annoying main characters are Air Gear, Tenjo Tenge and Ah! My Goddess! I wouldn't put Youko from Kill La Kill on the same level of those morons. The ending of Gurren Lagaan was heart-wrenching, to me it highlighted a show that was otherwise average. And in Kill La Kill there is a consistent and well entwined drama between the two sisters, this is the kind of quality stuff that made me bear a bunch of annoying side characters. As you can see, there's a particular level of tolerance, too much salt or too much sugar, the difference can be subtle.

Anime and manga can have a good blend of humor, action and drama, comics almost never reaches such levels. This is why we love anime and manga so much.

You take too high what I may say, I'm just a loser.

Admittedly I do think highly of your opinion sometimes but I think I am breaking out of that habit(or at least it is getting less frequent) , I sometimes look back on my past and realise sometimes my opinion are flawed at times (elfen lied is not as good as I thought upon re-reading I like it still but not as much when I was younger as it is a lot more flawed than I thought), same as 20th century boy, upon rethinking it is not as good as I thought so I think I agree with you on that, I like it initally because the mystery box and jumping timelines so I fell for the hype which I admit mystery premise can hook me very easily but it bit of my than it can chew as the payoff was lame and how friend was a lame villain too so upon re reading it the appeal is gone as terrible payoff can destroy my enjoyment for a franchise(like billy bat that really sucked so bad the ending was a wtf moment).

The sister quarreling aspect in Kill la Kill, I personally seen a series do that kind of drama in a more compelling well imho and it is called binbougami(which also has my favourite manga ending so far)

How a spoiled rich girl was self centred and unlikeable and how it doesn't rush her story to make her become selfless and likable as she had a goddess who antagonise her that leads to interesting character development felt like a room mate or a sisterly bond that felt very well earnt as the side characters changes her and not the other around on how the main character influences the side characters as wise idealistic hero(not to say I can't enjoy as there times I can just an observation). The humor can be very off putting admittedly as its either you like it or hate it as it can get a bit too meta at times but I personally enjoy the humor(most of the times)
