Daily Lives of High School Boys
Oshimeter
Synopsis
At an all-boys high school, Hidenori, Yoshitake, and Tadakuni have absolutely nothing going on, and that's the entire point. They spend their days doing what bored teenage boys actually do: wearing each other's sisters' skirts when nobody's home, turning a walk by the river into an awkward literary drama, and overthinking situations that never needed thinking about in the first place. This 12-episode TV series from Sunrise is structured as short skits rather than full-length storylines, so each episode throws a dozen scenarios at you, and at least half of them will catch you off guard. The humor comes from how accurately it captures the dumb stuff guys do when they're together and have zero responsibilities. There's no plot to follow, no romance to root for, no villain to defeat. Just three friends and their classmates bouncing off each other in increasingly absurd ways. If you liked the skit-based comedy of Nichijou but want something grounded in the specific ridiculousness of teenage boys, this is your show. Fans of Seitokai Yakuindomo's deadpan school humor will feel right at home too, though this one leans less on innuendo and more on observational comedy. The recurring "High School Girls are Funky" segments at the end of each episode are almost a separate show entirely, flipping the perspective to the girls' side and proving they're just as chaotic. It's the kind of anime where you keep saying "one more episode" because each one is only twelve minutes of actual content anyway.

Comedy gold, wish I watched when it first came out! Absurdist humor at its finest, highly recommend!
very funny i almost laugh for every scene 😭😭😭
Graduation but everything is as funny and relatable as always. The hotdog was especially too hilarious, they're so over-the-top lmao
Mitsuo is so wholesome, he deserved that gift :') and Hidenori and Literary girl's art is so satisfying with this unexpected conclusion
The event structure gives it variety and keeps things interesting. I didn't expect payoffs in this episode but I'm not complaining one bit 🤩
That train scene was definitely the best lmao, probably one of the most defining moments in this anime
That birthday gift scene was so random but also somehow well thought-out?! 🥲 Ringo is too cute here
Love how intense that kick the can was. Even the Hidenori's dad bit was realistic af HAHA that could definitely happen to me
Hidenori and Literary girl moments will always be hilarious, this may have been the best so far. And that bike part was so random, the turn of events is too funny
Starting to miss Tadakuni 🥲 but that slipping part was hilarious. Imouto is just as funny as him lmao
There's something so wholesome with the volleyball scene haha too relatable. The mochi too! Poor Hidenori
The dramatic animation at the last part was peak omg this Habara must have been real crazy
The first part was hilarious omg, great start of the episode. The pacing of each short is nicely done too!
Full of laughs as always with peak writing, but the best part was the Habara backstory! Unexpected world-building was nicely executed
The Hidenori surprise got me in the first half and then as usual, it goes wild after HAHA! And the bee part too, their way of handling things are so out-of-pocket T^T
Didn't expect Nago to be in the same school as the other girls but I love her character and literary girl so much!
Omg the best part was definitely Motoharu and the centipede 😭 so relatable but the dramatic narration was everything
Istg every scene with literary girl is the best. The atmosphere and dialogue is too much 🤣
Poor Mitsuo but real friends will stab you in the front too XD the facial expressions here are top-tier!
My fave character Jack returns LMAO the Dragon Quest bit was the best here. Even if all the episodes can be watched as a standalone, I love how we still have some continuity from the previous eps
