• Synonym平凡へいぼんNeutralPlain and unremarkable, stressing a lack of distinction; it can carry a negative shade and does not mean sensible.

• Antonym異例いれいNeutralAntonym: an exception — rare or unprecedented, set against 「常識的」, which follows the usual course of things.

Use 「常識的」 for what accords with common sense, as in 「常識的に考えて」. For plain normality say 「普通」; for the self-evident, 「当たり前」; for the undistinguished, 「平凡」 or 「月並み」. 「非常識」 lacks common sense, while 「奇抜」 and 「異例」 are merely novel or exceptional.
