History Heartwarming / Nichijou

* The manga's end: The five main characters burying a time capsule for their future selves, and another TimeSkip to their reunion for it. Mio is a mangaka just like she dreamed, Mai is a teacher and Yukko has... certainly changed in her travels outside of Japan, but is still Yukko, back with her friends.

* Chapter 154 has a flashback of the Sakurai siblings. Makoto, prompted by his classmates mocking him for holding hands with a girl (his sister), stops hanging out with her and attempts to become independent. However, this behavior temporarily stops when he sees Izumi effortlessly help an English-speaking foreigner, Makoto is so impressed that he completely forgets he's not supposed to hold Izumi's hand home anymore.

* Chapter 172 is a TimeSkip of sorts, where we see the Professor at high school age living with Nano and Sakamoto. Along with them, however, is Nakamura-sensei, the teacher who was trying to capture Nano to learn her secrets, now a friend of both and reunited with her beloved Taisho. Best of all though, is how the Professor's face lights up on hearing that Yuuko is returning to Japan.

* Episode 11: "Things we think are cool: A factory worker's shy smile"

** One notable moment in particular happens in volume 6/Episode 23 when she visits the Shinonome Lab. Though her initial interaction with the Professor is a bit rocky, due to Mai unleashing her two dogs in front of the Professor and Sakamoto while they were taking a walk, they eventually bond when they start drawing sharks together. When Mai leaves, she pulls out one of the Professor's drawings, and you can clearly tell she's touched.

** [[TheKlutz Yuuko's]] clumsiness makes life better for everyone.

* The second half of manga chapter 140, the Professor and Yuuko have been hanging out but now it's time for Yuuko to leave but the Professor doesn't want her to go. Also the final 4-koma, which features Sakamoto doing an embarrassing dance he refused to do earlier to cheer up the Professor.

** A similar example, when Sakurai asks Mio what she wants to do, which she sheepishly writes on the forum, "mangaka". Mio is clearly embarrassed by this, probably not helping [[YaoiFangirl what kind of art she usually draws]], but Sakurai complements her that she is a great artist and should follow her dreams.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzg8RyLu_nU Sakurai-sensei asks Yuuko what her plans for the future are.]] Yuuko misunderstands the question at first, but when she does understand, she thinks about it for a while... and decides she'd like to become a teacher like her. Cue Sakurai-sensei crying TearsOfJoy.

* The interaction between The Professor and Nano at the beginning of episode 5, which plays out much like that between a mother and her child, has to be one of the cutest things in anime for a long time

* Most of all "Small Miracles" segments

** So is the "Like Love" segment in Episode 16. it's a recurring thing.

** Yuuko having a time with the professor, which is significant given the torment she faces on a regular basis.
* A small but understated one from the second opening. Roughly 30 seconds in we see Mai standing behind Mio, fluttering the latter's pigtails about while Mio smiles adorably, swaying her head. Considering that these two barely speak a word to each other in-series, it's adorable to see them in this playful moment together.

** "It's unpredictable. That's why it's fun".

** A small one, but the last Igo Soccer segment. Even if Sekiguchi CannotSpitItOut, there is a sense that Daiku at least somewhat understands what she wants to say, and responds in a simple, yet sweet way.

--->'''Professor:''' Nano-nano-nano-nano-nano-nano!
--->'''Nano:''' Professor-fessor-fessor-fessor-fessor-fessor!

* Episode 14: When Yuuko accidentally buys Mio some yakisaba instead of the yakisoba she wanted for lunch, the two end up getting into a huge argument. The argument itself is funny, but the end is very cute and heartwarming: in the end, they actually start praising each other, the same way they would insult each other. They finish their argument by raising their arms in the air as if they were going to punch each other... only to handshake and hug in reconciliation. [[WhenSheSmiles Even Mai smiled]] at how cute it was !
