Dude same, unforuntely unless you're the same age the girls are in Nichijou, you won't find it funny. However the superior "Nichibro" is something you should look into.

So, I've started watching something called "Heavy Object" and oh man, it suffers from some awful anime tropes that make it awful to watch, but I've been trucking through it...well two episodes and after finishing the second episode I've noticed something I really hate.

The gist of the anime is that there are these huge metal gears that have basically stopped all warfare from happening. War is now just a battle between two metal gears and whoever wins, the other side surrenders and basically no lifes are lost. In the 2nd episode, the main characters are attacked and they send out the Metal Gear to stop them, the good metal gear loses, but the enemy metal gear keeps attacking, and destroys the base.

The main characters find an SOS call, and decide to go find the pilot of the destroyed metal gear. Their CO tears them a new one, and says that they're stupid and it's obviously a distraction for the metal gear to not kill everyone in the base. 1 life for hundreds. The MC disagrees and instead goes off to save the pilot. He gives a very serious speech about the horrors of war, and how they can't escape and things like that. Hell, he even goes on to say that the pilot can't distract them by herself, and he'll go and help out the distraction, he can't leave it up to one person. He then heads off the save the pilot.

Then fucking eye catcher comes in with it's short 3 second joyful tune, and oh man what a mood killer.

Spoiler

There it is, the thing that breaks up commercial breaks in Japan. Thanks for ruining the moment you retards.

Oh well, it does look like it has some potential to be a good series, so I'll continue watching.
