i like azumanga daioh too.

its probably the best slice of life anime ever and its just hilarious

AZUMANGA DAIOH OWNS A PART OF MY SOUL. Or something. (There's too much stuff that owns my soul already...)

The girls in Azumanga remind me so much of myself and my friends XD Except we're much crazier.

I've read all the manga and I own the DVDs. They both PWN in their own medium :3

I watched the dub for Azumanga too... I love Yukari's VA whoever she is XD The other girls sound weird though o-o

<3 Azumanga Daioh. Always makes me laugh! :D

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like this. I find cromartie to just be so so so so so much better. maybe because I read alot of yankii manga or because I am a boy.

Azumanga Daioh is the greatest thing since....since....SOMETHING!

Yes, the manga is very good. It always makes me laugh, eventhough I've read it....too many times to count.

All Heil Queen Osaka!

Azumanga is my most favorite manga series....EVER!

Best thing ever. Yotsuba&! is the second best thing ever, if you've seen it. I love how a guy can write a series about high school girls and make them seem like real girls.
Also, Osaka is love. So is Miss Yukari.

C+P'd rant:

It's wonderful. It's hard to put into words the charm and appeal of an anime that is little more than the day-to-day activities of a group of schoolgirls, but there's something irresitable about Azumanga that draws you in and doesn't let go. There are eight main characters; six girls and their two teachers, plus a few utterly hilarious side characters (Mr Kimura, Chiyo-Chan's Dad, Kaorin...) and after twenty-six episodes I think it's impossible to not have a special place in your heart of each of them. From Osaka struggling to learn the difference between an escaltor and elevator to Nyamo the PE teacher getting drunk and accidentally telling her students about her sexual experiences from her youth, it's how real the characters are that brings the series to life. In every character you can see traits of people within your own life; everybody knows a Sakaki, has a Tomo in their life and has an Osaka side to themselves.
After telling my friends I was learning to drive, one of them said "Even if you manage to get a license, I'm never riding with you." I asked "Why not?" to which he responded "Because you're Yukari". XD

But I think the thing that which makes Azumanga so special and different to other animes is that it doesn't try and follow conventions; there aren't any giant robots or people turning into animals... it just shows and makes you realize that the important things in life that stay with you forever - high school and otherwise - aren't the huge life-altering challenges and changes but the little day-to-day things that you take for granted.

I can't reccomend it highly enough. :D

And Yotsuba is amazing in ways that words cannot describe. She's incredible.

I LOVE AD.

When it ended, its almost as though the most interesting days of my life ended too.

That is until I found PW. And Negima...

"Cooking is so fun, cooking is so fun. Now it's time to take a break and see what we have done. YAY, it's ready!" Chiyo-chan RULES. I love this show, saw it a awhile back when it first came out, it's such a hilarious and adorable slice of life anime. And Nyamo, don't ever get her drunk or she'll teach you things you never wanted to know about.

---

That makes two of us then cause I don't like Azumanga at all. I don't even get what's so funny about it. My friends kept telling me how it was the funniest anime ever and they eventually made me watch it. I didn't laugh or even smile once. It was just so... I don't know. It seemed all way too random and it didn't make any sense. I'm very aware that it's the whole point, but I just didn't find it funny at all.
