Azumanga Daioh Series
Tagged under Kiyohiko Azuma, J.C. Staff, Series.
Azumanga Daioh is a slice of life anime that follows six friends throughout their three years of high school. There is
no overarching plot other than following the experiences of these six characters through high school; however, Azumanga
Daioh still succeeds on its strong cast of characters and their interactions. The main characters are all female, and
the friends - and their teachers - get into some very interesting and hilarious situations. They are: Tomo, the
energetic one with no self control, Yomi, Tomo's...'friend' through all their school years, Chiyo, the 10 year old
genius, Osaka, the airhead, Sakaki, the tall, athletic and shy one with a thing for cats, and Kagura, the athlete and
self-proclaimed rival of Sakaki.

SeijakuF's Azumanga Daioh Tv Review
Rated:
As said before, this show brings very little new to the genre. However, it makes a good use of the one-shot theme and manages to build a strong line it follows- even when there's no clear "goal" in the episodes. The episodes are different from each other but there is a lot of repetitive stuff; the girls spend their time mostly at school. Towards the end we get to see more deeper relationships and even some new settings but sometimes I feel like there should be more places to spend freetime than Chiyo's gorgeous home (or summerhouse). My favourite episodes are in the end when emotions are shown more freely and conversations get deeper. The humor never disappears though and it makes me smile in every episode.

i found this anime very fun to watch ^-^ if you love just random funny moments this is a grate series for you ^-^ though random i found art wise pretty nice very commicle expressions ^-^ and some things a little too odd but thats just me hehe XD
HatedAngel rated 8.00:The reason I started reading the manga was because I needed a manga to read to pass time. Originally the whole School girl anime doesn't appeal to me much but this was actually satisfying. Even though this doesn't make some people laugh it sure makes me laugh D: yeah peoples sense of humor may vary.
ghost945 rated 9.00:great fun! story about everyday school life and how characters grow up throughout the time frame in anime. literally no male characters but very enjoyable, won't category it as a girly anime. thanks for the vastly different characters in story. their characteristics are very well highlighted through events and became backbone of laugh points. seiyuu gave solid performance. osaka in particular. very impressive.
fireflywishes rated 8.50:This series is always great for a laugh... my go-to feel-good anime! I watched the first episode at 3 am and it was the funniest most random thing ever! Great slice of life, kooky, comedy. Each character has her own unique personality and they all work well together somehow. There are some great AMVs out there for this series!
e1ectric rated 4.00:
I've watched the first 16 episodes, and it's supposed to be funny, but it's only gotten 10 laughs out of me. I ranked
it a 5 because I haven't finished the series, so a final score can't be determined, however if it continues on like
this, then It won't get above a 4 (and more likely be ranked a 3.5). It also moves really slow. The characters have
distinct personalities but I just cant relate to any of them, and the plot is super weak. I recently started this
series in an attempt to clean up the list of partially watched series. Absolutely boring. This series has no plot.
I'm going to give it a poor ranking before even finishing it.
Update:: first 17 episodes. When is this series going to end, it's painful to watch. Docking another .5 of a point for
being so long, because 12 episodes was bad enough, but this series... it never seems to end. On the upside I'm more
than halfway through, just 9 more to go... oh man... there's so many left! When will it ever end!
