I can never get enough of this anime. This won't please the people which wish for only action, blood, and violence, but everyone else who enjoys anime should find this one particularly lovable. Azumanga Daioh contains a mix of quick humor which takes little thought and the occasional deeper joke which lasts for longer than 10 seconds, though, overall, most of the jokes are of the former category.
The best part of the humor of this series is its uniqueness. Azumanga Daioh rarely has the 'humor' of simply drawing silly faces, and expecting the audience to laugh. The humor begins with a standard above that level, and it maintains it throughout the series.
The only problem that I've occasionally noticed is that it references things well known in Japan, but not at all known here. This is not Azumanga Daioh's fault in the least, because it works for its target audience, but occasionally there is a joke that leaves me in the dark.
As a side note, I still get some of the supremely joyful music stuck in my head, and it is an excellent way to obtain a smile.
Azumanga Daioh, as a small 26 episode series, with its happy, funny, heartwarming moments, is entirely worth watching.
I figured this would be a good one to start reviewing. I kinda wanted to get some practice at this, so here's my first one.
