>>378304421
Nope
That would be Yassan

Damn I wish I could find shit like Nichijou and Nishidan funny, but I just can't.
It embodies what I don't like about most Japanese comedy.

The amount screaming and exaggeration that DRAGS OUT is just flat-out annoying. But the real problem is the fact that all characters have to literally spell out the joke as it's happening. I mean: the jokes are often not bad, and I like the whole observation humor combined with small bits of absurdity, but the way it's presented is awful.

I'm reminded of that famous deer scene in Nichijou:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Et0a8fnuw
This would be actually really funny. The premise is great. By why the fuck do we have also have a play-by-play narration in that scene, combined with annoying silly sounds?

The joke in that Nichi-danshi scene with dragon quest that characters the boys are switching characters too frequently is funny, but why the fuck does the main guy have to say "You are switching characters too often!"
Yes: that is the joke, we don't need it spelled out. And we don't need 15 seconds reaction shots coupled with noises the characters do too.

It's sad because every now and then they actually keep their mouths shut and let the joke play out naturally and it's fucking hilarious. Like in the older boys who play until the girl passes them. That is actually good comedy.
Or the famous temple scene in Nichijou, which is really damn funny until the fucking priest comes along and fucking spells out the joke for us again with 10 of "aaaaaah!" reaction shot.

I don't want to hate this: I like the observations, I like the characters and environment, but damn.

Even Azumanga is hard to watch for that very reason. Tomo needs to fucking shut up. Every scene she appears in is annoying.

The Japanese are not usually masters of subtlety.

>>378307169
Exaggeration and blatant, direct indications of what's happening is just how it is.
I agree with you on that scene and the feeling that jokes are often drawn out too much, but I always figured it was a budget thing. Sometimes if there isn't someone narrating a scene like that I don't know if the file or player is broken because there hasn't been any movement in the scene for a few seconds.

>>378307042

I find this style funny.

Try something else, because all that is in 95% of anime.

>>378307169
Actually, they really kinda are.
I mean, ever fucking read a book by Kawabata or Ibuse?
Ever studied Japanese architecture? Tasted Japanese haute cuisine? Japan is the culture that basically invented the kind of minimalism that still frequently considered the absolute aesthetical ideal across the entire world. Hell, adoption of their minimalist and subtle aesthetics in many ways ruined western art and architecture for decades.

Even in anime and manga: You have shit like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Mushi-shi, Kino-no-tabi, Haibane... I mean if they want, they really, really can do subtle.
They just usually really don't want subtle in their comedy for some reason.

>but I always figured it was a budget thing.
This is a very reasonable statement, but I have two issues with it.
A) it being a budget thing is not really an excuse. Eva did do some marvelous things with it's terrible budgeting. So did TV Hellsing. It's either good comedy or not.

Second of all: I always thought budget played into this too, until I had the option to watch japanese stand up comedy, comedy dorama etc.. And they do this shit in their LIVE skits too. It's intentional, it's comedy staple, not really in any way restricted to long anime shows.

The worst part is: I remember time when it did not bother me, or bothered me a lot less. And that makes me angry at myself that I can't enjoy shit I used to enjoy.

>>378307680
Maybe it's just their version of canned laughter

>>378307869

>>378307869
>It's not fair
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that good stuff needs to have a proper begining, ending and limited, high-quality story ark, which means that it will come, and go.
Meanwhile shit that has no proper ark and no quality control can be continued endlessly.

Seriously, most of that "good anime" was good precisely because it was inevitably going to die one day.

>>378307680
Don't forget that Japan invented the Pachinko Machine and paints their temples bright red. Japanese people are not the masters of subtlety that everyone (including the Japanese themselves) believes them to be. In fact I think that answers your question about their comedy. They truely believe themselves to have mastered the art of subtlety in all things, so their comedy is just another outlet of whatever the opposite of subtlety is called.

>>378308614
What's the problem? He typed all that shit and you just entered the thread to give this one-off shitpost. "4chan" needs more guys like that than yourself.

>>378308220
>Don't forget that Japan invented the Pachinko Machine and paints their temples bright red.
Few things about this:
A) They don't really paint their temples red. That is actually a Chinese thing and there - yet - it represents wealth, as red was an expensive color. There is a handful of places in Japan that uses red for sacred architecture, namely Nikko, but that was an intention counter to Japanese tradition: The Shogunate trying to assert it's dominance over the older, Imperial ideals.
In Japan, orange is SOMETIMES used, but really usually only for Gates or small elements. It's also because orange is sacred and wards off evil spirits. It might be related to the fact that Japan used to use an orange-colored antiseptics in the past, associating the color with clenlyness.
Still though, vast majority of of their sacred structures use unpainted (darkened by impregnation and age) wood, as it's belived to be most beautiful in it's natural and simplistic qualities.
Second of all: I fail to see how these things really relate to ideals of subtlety in art.

>Japanese people are not the masters of subtlety that everyone
They really are. The fact that they mastered it more than any culture that I know about (at least until modern era) does not of course mean that it affects EVERYTHING. Sure, a lot of aspects, especially mundane and popular culture is hardly minimalist and subtle, but still the official and high culture is quite obsessive about it through out most history, and they are as far as I know the only culture that developed extensive theory of why minimalism and subtlety is so important.

Seriously, if you know examples of other cultures doing this, I'd love to hear them: this is not ironic, I'm genuinely curious and you might know something that I don't.
But as far as can tell, they pioneered this shit like nobody else.

I do kinda agree with that idea that comedy like this might actually be an OUTLET to them though.

I think some of the Kumeta stuff (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) actually has good comedic timing and structure. Azumanga can be brilliant: there is really only just this ONE character that drags down the damn show every time she appears.
As for stuff like Nichijou and Nichidan or Sakuran... It feels like there is one fantastically executed joke for twenty good-in-theory-but-ruined ones.

Japanese humor is clearly not for you then. Every single Japanese comedy is going to be like that, a lot of people love it some others don't. There's ALWAYS tsukkomis and bokes

Also japanese as a language can have moonrunes(pretty much all of them) that mean very different things which is why most of their comedy is about MISUNDERSTANDINGS. Ever noticed that when a character introduces himself he says his name, and what each kanji mean(like, a name can be written with the kanji of tree and then the kanji of strong meaning strong tree for exampel) so that people would know how to properly say it?

That is not entirely true. There are exceptions: I've mentioned a few - some Kumeta, some more bitter-sweet humor (like those few comedic scenes in Haibane, Mushi-shi, Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo). You have Azuma's work like most of Azumanga, Yotsuba etc... Then you have FUMOFFU and the comedy in Full Metal Panic.
I don't mind tsukkomi and bokke either. And actually even in the shows I've mentioned that I have an issue with: the jokes are fine. It's the weird delivery: Which has nothing to do with Tsukkomi and Bokke structure.

>Also japanese as a language can have moonrunes(pretty much all of them) that mean very different things which is why most of their comedy is about MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
This is 100% true but again has nothing to do with my issue. Hell, the language jokes in Azumanga? BY FAR the funniest part in the whole show. Osaka's talk about Dolphines? The mame-jishiki joke? Those are fucking amazing. Yes - impossible to translate, but I have sufficient knowledge of Japanese to appreciate them. The insanely extensive name-related jokes in Zetsubou? I absolutely love that shit.

My problem really is with the delivery and timing: the expression, the reaction-shots, the doubling of joke by narration. None of that are problems inherent to Japanese language, or a matter of tsukomi-boke joke setup.

Streaming is fine until you download that one series you can't find a stream for and you get used to the lack of loading times and grainy quality from shitty stream sites. After that you realize that if you wanna revisit a moment from a previous episode you really like you just double click the file and you're on the episode in seconds. It's just very convenient to have stuff downloaded in advance. I'll admit that some series like Re: Zero I'll just stream because it's new, stream quality is generally nice and I'll probably not revisit it with a sibling, but older stuff like Lain is much easier to just have downloaded already since streams take a while to find.

Missed this post earlier, but I think it may be actually nailing it.
It feels like the shows need to give us actual clues where we are supposed to be laughing, and it feels cheap and actually kills the pacing (even more than canned laughter) of the joke. Damn, the three boys reanacting JRPG tropes are funny, I don't need a fucking cue and a laugh break telling me "comedy in progress right now".

Not really like every language ever. In fact the use of symbols in Japanese is pretty much completely unique in the world. Combinations of multiple readings and extremely high homonimity, non-fixed phonetics of the writing system are a nightmare to learn and make the language pretty inefficient at base communication, but it does allow for levels of semantic play no other currently existing language can allow for.
