DVD Reviews of Azumanga Daioh - Class Album (Complete Series)DVD Review: An Anime Everyone should watch Summary: 5 StarsOkay,In the begining like everyone else you have doubts about something before you buy if you are making a right decision or not.My Advice for this Anime GO FOR IT.Its Fun to watch from the first to last episode later in the series I began to connect with the character Osaka she just really reminds me of myself.
DVD Review: Don't like anime? This will change your mind. Summary: 5 StarsI never really loved anime, i thought it was just boring and stupid. That was a year ago. Then i discovered Azumanga Daioh. This is what brought me into the anime genre. Everyone in the story is a instant classic charater, from The smart 10 year old Chiyo-chan, to the dull, yet great at riddles Osaka. The show is based off this group of girls from the first year of high school to the last year. This has alot of zany adventures in it, like how to cure hiccups, Summer vacation, and the culture festivals. Everything including the last episode was a great time, i literally cried at the last episode. Yes, Cried. It's a touching, yet funny story and i hope you buy it.
DVD Review: Azumanga Diaoh Box Set Summary: 4 StarsThe series:
The series is great! I've loved it since it first came out. Occasionally it can be a little slow- especially when watching Osaka, but in my opinion, it was worth buying.
The product: ("class album box set")
The only bad thing I can say about it is that there are no special features of any kind. It does have the show and I guess that's what really counts. And I love it's size!
DVD Review: And addictive slice of life Summary: 5 StarsAzumanga Daioh is an anime based off of a 4 panel comic series. This fun slice of life anime follows the main characters through their high school careers. All the characters are adorable and funny, from Chiyo-chan, the child prodigy who skipped 5 grades and is STILL smarter than all the students in her class; Ayumu (called Osaka), the absent-minded girl who always daydreams in the middle of class (named Osaka for her hometown); Tomo and Yomi, a pair of friends who've known each other since grade school (though why they're STILL friends is a mystery to all); to Sakaki, the tall, busty, athletic, quiet girl who has a deep love for cats (how the cats feel, though...).
The teachers are quirky, too. From the girl's homeroom teacher (Yukari) who is a total wreck (you have to see for yourself) to their history teacher (Kimura-sensei) who has an unhealthy love for teenage girls.
It's a great series and one to be watched over and over. There's no overarcing storyline, and that's the genius of it. It's just good plain wholesome (barring Kimura sensei) fun. Worth every penny.
DVD Review: couldn't finish the whole series Summary: 3 StarsFirst off, i must agree on what some of the other people have said: it is a lot like Seinfeld (i.e. a show about nothing). While it does have some funny moments, most of the time, its straight up boring. Most of the characters are very likable but theyre all stuck in boring, ridiculous stories. Some of the other characters are just plain annoying or stupid, like the "Osaka" girl or Tomo. The show reminds me of "Pani Poni Dash" but without the humor. I honestly tried to watch it, but i could only watch about half of it before i finally got bored with it. I gave it three stars because some of the characters were worth going through all of the boring stuff to see (like the perverted teacher). If you like Seinfeld, then you will more than likely enjoy watching this, but if you're like me and don't like Seinfeld, then watch something else.
Description of Azumanga Daioh - Class Album (Complete Series)Boys and girls, yound and old, otaku and casual fans alike-everyone loves Azumanga Daioh. It's one of the most beloved anime series of 2004, and now ADV has brought all six DVDs together in a single affordable Thinkpak Collection! Like Seinfield or the juvenile novels of the '50s, the popular shojo (girl's) series Azumanga Daioh (2002) isn't really about anything. Based on the manga by Kiyohiko Azuma, the broadcast series follows a mismatched group of seven girls through their three years at an ordinary Tokyo high school. Chiyo is a cute prodigy who skipped five grades; Sakaki seems oblivious to everything except stray cats, which always bite her. Kaorin appears to be fixated on Sakaki; although she worries about her weight, Yomi is the most normal member of the cast. Osaka acts spaced-out,Tomo declares she's a "loose cannon," and Kagura is an outstanding athlete: this trio proclaims themselves "The Knuckleheads" when they face major exams. Hard-drinking, potty-mouthed English teacher Yukari resents the popularity of saner coach Nyamo, even though they're friends and former classmates; Kimura, who teaches because he likes to ogle teenage girls, is the only major male character. Azumanga Daioh presents no sustained story arc or character development: each episode is a collection of more or less random incidents involving the girls and the three faculty members. The stories focus on everyday activities: classes, exams, festivals, field trips, athletic events. The characters don't pilot mecha or battle demons or lose their clothes or face major emotional crises. The normalcy of the girls' lives is the main source of the series' appeal. (Rated 13 and older: cartoon violence, minor profanity, alcohol use, minor risqu? humor) --Charles Solomon
