Anime: Azumanga Daioh


Ever seen a 4-koma manga? Do you think that is possible to transfer the content of a 4-koma manga into an anime? Because this anime is just one of them, and works really well.

This anime starts with a 10 years old prodigy transfering to high school. You heard it, a 10 years old high school student. Then it is about how she make friends with her classmates, and basically her high school life with her friends.

The whole series covers the 3 year high school life, and also events like sports, cultural festival, christmas parties and stuff like that. Very normal life, everything you can expect from a high school life.

The characters are lovable, each with unique personalities. The cute prodigy Chiyo-chan, the hyperactive Tomo, the 'normal' Yomi, the tall and cool Sakaki, the sports girl Kagura, and the air-headed Osaka. These 6 girls are the main characters of this anime. Some other characters such as their homeroom teacher Yukari, sports teacher Minamo, and creepy male teacher Kimura. Out of the bunch, Osaka is my favourite, with her Kansai accent, and her absentmindedness LOL. Osaka is her nickname by the way, due to the fact that she comes from Osaka. Her name is Kasuga Ayumu.

If you are looking for a good slice of life anime, this can be a choice. Its a genre not for everyone, but if you like the genre, you will probably pick this up. This anime is the one that got me into the slice-of-life comedy genre. And if you are someone older, it might make you wanna repeat high school life. LOL. At least it made me think like that.
