Trivia / Daily Lives of High School Boys

aka: Danshi Koukousei No Nichijou

• Overtook the Manga: The anime got this treatment due to two factors: (1) the manga's Sketch Comedy format means a whole volume of manga can only produce 3 episodes of anime without padding, and (2) Sunrise did not pad. The anime practically ran out of original material at the last episode; in which they asked the mangaka to draw two skits for the anime (High School Boys and Assertiveness and High School Boys and Getting Hit On) and made two original skits (High School Boys and ... and the faux High School Girls are Funky—The Movie trailer). Of course, being a Slice of Life anime without much of a plot, they simply ended the season by using Book Ends.
• Production Posse: Along with the voice actors, Daily Lives also share quite a few of the production staff with Gintama including the Director and Composer.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Word of God mentioned Yoshitake was originally intended to be the viewpoint character.
  • Originally, the anime's ending theme song was Hikizan by Visual Kei Rock band Jinkaku Radio. However, the band's lead singer insulted Yui Horie which caused a controversy that Square Enix pulled their song.
