Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The title of the show is essentially meaningless. The comic strip on which the show is based was written by Azuma Kiyohiko, and "Azumanga" is an amalgalm of his name and "manga", the Japanese word for comic books. "Daioh" comes from "Dengeki Daioh" ("Great Electric Shock King"), the monthly Japanese comic anthology in which the comics originally ran. more

Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: The smell of a fart that wasn't mine wafted into my nose.
[the other three girls stand in dumbfounded shock for a moment]
Tomo Takino: [trembling voice] Spooky!
Ayumu 'Osaka' Kasuga: Isn't it?
Koyomi Mizuhara: [dryly] Really.

I absolutely adore Azumanga Daioh. The plot line is very simple, yet every episode is a joy to watch. The plot is basically following the everyday life of six (sometimes seven) high-school students. The one thing that stood out to me in this show, is that the characters are deep, and well developed. It feels like you know them in real life. Every character is charming and unique. It is a shame that there was only 26 episodes. Another thing I liked, is that after the last episode, I didn't find it painful to watch the series over again. I'm not that crazy about Anime, but that doesn't matter. I think that you should definitely check out this series. It's something quite memorable.
