Azumanga Daioh: The Animation

Azumanga Daioh: The Animation. ADV Films.

Plot: This 5-disc DVD set follows the story of presented in the manga. The series follows the exploits of a group of teenage girls as they work their way through high school and plan for their futures. Yet, not all of their situations are quite as standard as they appear to be. The voice actors manage a remarkable job of bringing 5 girls, their teachers, and their school to life.

Genre: Anime

Reading Age: Rated TVPG for language

Similar Titles: School Rumble

Personal Thoughts: Why are cartoons for little kids, and anime for grown-ups? The world may never know.

Anyway, this is a pretty good interpretation of the original manga. The version I watched has the original Japanese, English, and subtitles. The subtitles offer a different experience than the English version, since they use a more literal translation. Overall, the series offers a new way of looking at the everyday.
