I recently finished the Nichijou anime and I noticed there are an OVA and
[specials](http://myanimelist.net/anime/10807/Nichijou__Tanken_Nichijou_no_Machi)
(Nichijou: Tanken Nichijou no Machi). According to MyAnimeList, there are 14
episodes under this title as you can see in the link but I only can find 3
episodes. Can someone direct me to where to find all of the specials?

nichijou
How many Tanken Nichijou no Machi episodes are there?


There's some confusion about what "[Tanken Nichijou no
Machi](http://myanimelist.net/anime/10807/Nichijou__Tanken_Nichijou_no_Machi)"
is.

It is _not_ the thing you've seen subtitles for. The things you've seen
subtitled are a promotional video and [some unaired next-episode
previews](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/35796/). Typically, these things
are not construed as "specials", but in this case, they've been incorrectly
conflated with and mistaken for "Tanken Nichijou no Machi", which MAL thinks
are specials.

"Tanken Nichijou no Machi" does _not_ consist of a promotional video and some
unaired next-episode previews. Rather, it is a series of ~10-minute live-
action clips featuring the _Nichijou_ cast and staff (mostly Shiraishi Minoru,
really) doing things that have hardly anything to do with the actual show.
Here is [the first of
them](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXdhyyWeX8Y&list=PL0_XyQ09RMgHEGRTBch8uhqsrYRVfBedK)
on YouTube (could go down at any time).

They're kind of interesting to watch, I guess, but again, they have
_absolutely_ nothing to do with _Nichijou_ besides featuring the cast and
staff from the show.

I suspect that [MAL is the ultimate source of this
misinformation](http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=293477). If somebody
knows how to get an entry delisted from MAL, they should probably do that with
"Tanken Nichijou no Machi".

Anyway, to answer your title question, I think there are 11 episodes of
"Tanken Nichijou no Machi". YouTube appears to have [episode
11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXzQkSEgryc&list=PL0_XyQ09RMgHEGRTBch8uhqsrYRVfBedK&index=9),
and the official website for the manga lists episode 11 being [planned for
inclusion in BD 13](http://www.shinonome-lab.com/goods/dvd_13.html) (the last
volume).

However, this is a little confusing, since [BD 1](http://www.shinonome-
lab.com/goods/dvd_1.html) and [BD 2](http://www.shinonome-
lab.com/goods/dvd_2.html) appear to include a thing called "Tanken Nichijou no
Machi", which might be distinct from "Tanken Hakken Nichijou no Machi 1" on
[BD 3](http://www.shinonome-lab.com/goods/dvd_3.html) (continuing through to
BD 13, which lists "Tanken Hakken Nichijou no Machi 11"). So the answer might
actually be 12 or 13? It almost certainly isn't 14, though.

There is something of a lack of information on the internet about _Nichijou_
's BD content, because the discs had _abysmal_ sales, owing to the large
number of them (13 for 26 episodes; 11 or 12 is more common, I think) and the
high cost of each individual volume.
