Azumanga Daioh: A Very Short Movie is a pretty good introduction to the basics of the series, helping pave the foundations for each character. The animation also received a bump, with several characters shown in far more detailed fashion than in the anime.

It probably isn’t required viewing now as it has outlived its usefulness as a preview of the TV series but it’s so short it doesn’t really matter.

The standout here is the animation, as this was shown in theaters, so it's theatrical quality animation. Watching the characters is the main appeal of this short, otherwise there ...
