Since today is Friday, I don’t have any friends and is Halloween, I’m gonna make this special anime review post in memory of Halloween…lol
AZUMANGA DAIOH!
(this will be a long ass post, really)
First, The Plot:
Azumanga Daioh (あずまんが大王), is an anime, about… (counting them)… 6 high school girls (again, no musical bullshit), Kasuga “Osaka” Ayumu , Takino Tomo, Mizuhara “Yomi” Koyomi, Sakaki, Kagura, Mihama Chyio and her dog (not really).
The anime starts with them 3 years before going to university.At the beginning there are only 5 main characters (Kagura join their class in the next year only).
The anime is complete random, with funny quick scenes and jokes that you may never ever understand.It’s not exactly Shojo manga just because they are all girls, actually, I just saw/heard 4 or 5 male character voices, yet, all secondary and nameless random characters.
The anime have 26 episodes, most of the scenes based on the Manga that was made a time ago before the anime, not all characters actually exist on the manga.
Now, the characters:
In order of Left to Right:
Sakaki: She’s the tallest (duh) and the most big breasted from all, she’s quiet, smart and love (no, really, LOVE) cats.There’s one cat in the street that she always find, and try to pet it, and he ALWAYS bites her.She’s also a born-athlete, the faster of all of them.
Kagura: She just join them in the next year that the anime starts, and was also Sakaki’s rival (but Sakaki don’t care at all).She is in the Pool team of school, and she’s a really good athlete.Her personality is joker and kind of hyperactive, get bad grades and play video games (lol).
Chiyo-chan: She’s is only 10 in the beginning of the anime, and she’s at the same class as them, so, she’s a genius (really).She’s polite, smart (duh) and it’s rich too, even though she do her own lunch.Her ponytails seems to have own life (just kidding), and she have a dog that is 2 or 3 times bigger than her (yes, she rides him)
Tomo: Completely hyperactive, joker, crazy, dumb and annoying.She’s Yomi’s oldest friend, and it’s always trying to be the number one of everything (fails 90% of times by the way).Her hair style changes every year, and it’s always making jokes with everyone and copying the homework from Chyio or Yomi.
Yomi: The most “nerd” (not really) of them, she’s have a short patience, and it’s the one who wear glasses.She’s kind of “the mom” of the group, because it’s the most mature of them.Well, can’t say much about her, because in the OWN ANIME, it says almost nothing about her!that’s sad…
Osaka: Completely…uhm…slow….?, she’s kind of the most creative of the group, but seems to lack in energy, and is often sleeping on the classroom during class (duh).Osaka creates the godly “Yawn” and sneeze so “unloud”, that even a blind man wouldn’t hear it
There are also some secondary characters, as teachers, GOD (not haruhi), and other students.Such as:
Teachers:
Yukari being happy (rare, lol)
Yukari-sensei can!Tanizaki Yukari: The “main” teacher of the Azumanga, she’s very competitive, lazy and easily goes in RAGE.She’s Nyamo’s old school best friend and kind of rival too, she’s the English teacher and the main teacher of the main characters classroom.Yukari also have a car, yeah, or at least what survived of him, and she also drives like in Need for Speed.
Nyamo sensei, the students like her
Kurosawa “Nyamo” Minamo: She’s the most mature among the teachers so far, very polite, calm and funny too, she’s the student’s favorite also, and was Yukari school friend (as I said before).Right at the beginning of the anime, she seems to be blackmailed by Yukari about something on her past.She’s looking for a man.
He's not surprised, he's just like that
Kimura: He’s the literature teacher of them, and it’s also a pedo (obvious among the series).Even that he looks weird, he help clean the streets, is married (not underage) and have a kid (never seen on the anime though) and have a good heart (I hope so).He’s always with his mouth open, say and do weird things among the episodes.In a nutshell, he’s Pedobear in human form.
And now, the secondary student, behold:
Kaorin, lol
Kaorin: She’s a secondary student that we don’t know much about her, besides that she’s (probably) lesbian (no joking), since we can see that she fall in “love” (or something like that) for Sakaki.She went to Chyio’s summer house with the others once, and seems to like to take pictures.
Well, that’s it, it’s a long ass post, no copy paste bullshit, everything write by me.
Also, you WILL identify your self with someone, if you are in doubt, do some online quizzes or ask for a medium, or be indifferent with this…the choice is yours.
Also², this was the first “real” anime that I watched (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Dragon Balls and stuff like that doesn’t count [BECAUSE I SAID SO]).
Happy Celtic Myth day
