    hey! has anyone seen Azumanga Daioh?
    It is this cute anime about these schoolgirls and their lives. Not too full of action, but is way cute and funny! Just wondering if anyone has seen it, and who their favourite character are.
    I llike sakaki the best, but i've been told i'm like tomo.

    I've only seen the first two eps, but they were pretty funny. That (american) football shaped thing with the wavy arms that shows at the end is pretty trippy though..

    Don't know any of the names though :(

    My Favorites would be the teachers, escpecially Mr Kimura. Chiyo,Sakaki and Osaka are the most entertaining of the school girls but its all good. Ive been trying to track down any form of Daioh merchendise while in Melbourne, but with no luck.

    They're available for download on MX, as far as I know. Up till...18? Yeah, that's about right.

    Only the Japanese Region 2 DVD's are out - no english subtitles or anything. They're being put on in three two-disc sets, and seem to be the limited-edition-only variety; the prices are in the 13000-15000 yen range. It's a hard sell to a westerner unless you're a very avid kind of collector (which I might be).

    Edit: but now it's gone! I guess the limited release was very limited. It's gone to 'out of print' just about everywhere that I can tell. Argh!

    I know this makes me seem really stupid, but what's MX?
    Do you have the web-address or something?

    I find that one of the best things about azumanga daioh, is that all the characters are easily relatible to people you know. When i watch it, it's like 'oh, so and so is just like that' it good, because you get involved with the characters. i haven't seen the whole series yet, and i can't wait for it to come out on dvd. You can download versions of it on fansub sites on the internet if you have streamloader, and if your computer can play them.

    AzuManga Daioh? It's preety funny, I think it's an anime most people would like to watch at least once. I like all the characters, they're very well adapted to each other, but i like Osaka the best (Osaka is just her nickname, i forgot what her real name was), she preety and cute, hopefully i'll get the DVD's sometime soon.

    Her name's Kasuga Ayumu. Although, even Yukari-sensei calls her "Oosaka" after the first year.

    The extra "o" isn't a typo, fyi.

    Though a bit later than its release, I have recently seen Azumanga Daioh. My reaction was non-stop laughing at poor "Oosaka". What she has to go through (and goes through her mind) are just plain funny!

    Indeed, i think that this anime is one of the funniest i've seen so far. I got until the half of DVD 2 right now, and it's going very well. The jokes they use are very unique and original. Hope to see more anime like this ones!

    -Seishin

    PS to Lord_Canti16: If you gave it 2 thumbs up, then why does the title of your post have a red thumb pointing down?

    Haha. You got to watch out for those kinds. . .

    I hate to be the partay pooper here. :rolleyes: But I find Azumanga, somewhat of an annoying anime. It has some of its moments, where I thought it was funny, but for the most part, I thought its jokes were just plain lame and well. . .annoying. =/

    Whoa there bud, easy. He didn't jump all over you. Jumping all over you would be like saying "oh he's a fu***** dumb@$$ and he sucks 'cause he can't use symbols for sh**".

    But seriously Neph, name calling isn't required.

    And lord_canti, you may wanna watch the double posting there. Those two posts are something you could have done in one simple post.

    Now, to get this thread back on topic, i needed to ask, how many manga volumes in total are there of AzuMangaDaioh. Because i'm not very sure yet....

    Azumanga Daioh is only 4 volumes. One for every year they're in school.

    lord_canti and Neph, I deleted both your posts. Sorry, but either posts weren't necessary. Do understand.

    Azumanga Daioh should launch funny debates and talks...not hostility. Chiyo would cry.

    I saw the first DVD and this anime is hilarious! Especially the guy that spies on all the schoolgirls and his mouth is always open. Cant recall the name. My fave characters are between the pervert guy and Sakaki.
