Were the Tokyo pranksters inspired by Nichijō anime?

Did you find Broccoli and red paint replacing bicycle seats in Tokyo?

  • The incident occurred at the campus of Tokyo University (Japan’s top university, generally regarded as a free pass into the civil service or other occupations which pass as “elite” in Japan), where 3 male students in their twenties apparently decided to recreate a scene from “Nichijou” at the expense of other students and staff.

  • At around 6:00 a.m. today, a security guard found bicycle seats replaced with broccoli and red paint on the ground in the bicycle parking lot at the campus of Japan's esteemed University of Tokyo. The pranksters were presumably inspired by a similar event depicted in the recent Nichijō anime.
