CITY is what Nichijou was trying to be. All the activities in Nichijou were fairly aimless, and although it captured a community along with both their differences and similarities nobody really had any ambition beyond status quo. Everyone in CITY has been set up for some kind of change or goal in their lives and we're watching it all unfold as we see into their diverse worlds and motivations. The weirdness is also being properly contained this time, it doesn't completely fly off the handle as it did in Nichijou.

Also, it's not even in like the top 80 of most popular series this year, and if this really well made show kills Kyoani, something the fucking arson couldn't do, pic related.
