Azumanga Daiou!




Cited from Animelist:

Azumanga Daioh is about high school life through the eyes of six girls with unusual personalities: Chiyo (the 10-year-old genius), Osaka (the resident airhead), Sakaki (the shy one prone to cat bites), Tomo (the loose cannon), Yomi (the short-tempered one) and Kagura (the resident jock).


Review:
A sweet anime for those who love moe-ness of cute school girls! There is not really a proper storyline, more to the day to day life of schoolgirls. The anime goes to the entire 3 years of high school; the school festivals, summer breaks, sports days etc. Some memorable characters beside the main characters above would be Yukari-chan, their homeroom teacher; wacky, crazy, fun-loving, self-centered and probably the worst driver ever? LOL. Chiyo chan was psychologically scarred after riding with her. Haha! The only prominent male character would be this male teacher, Kimura Sensei who erm, is a creepy pervert man who enjoys admiring school girls. I don't like him period. My favourite episode is episode 16, where they organised a stuffed animal cafe for their second school festival and Chiyo chan dressed in a penguin costume. Believe me, the kawaii overload of this episode will make you return to this anime again and again. The final episode for me was a tearjerker, where they were graduating from the school. Most probably because I can relate to it as I am facing my convocation at the end of the year. This anime is definitely an enjoyable one and Chiyo chan will be forever etched in your mind, with penguin costume or not.



And I present to you Chiyo chan in a Penguin Costume! (because I think it is the cutest thing EVAR.)

Episode 16 is the best.. 2 best character would be chiyo chan and osaka (tho she might be a little straight forward and dumb but she's cute in her own way..lol)..
Kimura sensei is just plain weird and sadly i have to admit his wife is blind..lol..(have u ever seen him shutting his mouth)..creepiness...
