Yeah, Summer Wars is a great movie. For that matter, pretty much everything directed by Mamoru Hosoda is really good.
Anyways, I just finished up with Nichijou, which I've been watching progressively over the last few months. I enjoyed it greatly, and so give it an 8/10. The humor varies in degrees of funny, and some of the gags are far to drawn out in their set-up for the pay-out they get, but overall it was fun and reasonable funny.
What really impressed me about the series was the quality of the animation. Normally for this sort of content and this art style you would have a lot of still shots, a lot of drawn out scenes and a minimum of detail, but in this case pretty much everything is animated and there is a lot of motion and additional details that you normally not see. I was surprised to learn that this was a KyoAni show since gag comedy isn't their normal fare but it was reflected heavily in the animation and I think that was well served by the simplistic, squarish artstyle used.
