| How is the rated PG. I thought I heard the F word |

| It was alright. The random Chiyo song got on my nerves though but love the part where Sakaki and Kamineko met each other XD |
 |
| This episode was cute. ;3 and I agree with aero, when Sakaki and kami-neko meet is hilarious |
       |
| LOL. That was great. |
 |
| I wonder what anime I got into? LOL! |
     |
| cute so far, and the Osaka part was funny as well. I already kinda like that energetic girl, she's gonna keep me watching. |
| The best bit was where the cat just suddenly bit Sakaki :) It's hilariously random, especially the buckets and the tsukomi bit where all tomo wants her to say is "Nan de ya nen?" XD |
 |
| oh kill me. kill me now. |

| Good start to the episode with Yukari flipping out over her broken bike and good end with poor Ayuma getting nicknamed after her hometown. Seems like a fairly solid cast of characters - had me chuckling at quite a few parts. Hopefully the rest of the series keeps me entertained. |
| i liked this episode. its a great way to start the anime. this has been the only anime in a while that has made me laugh alot in a single episode. hope the quality of the humor doesn't drop. rather, im anticipating it will increase. |
| The teacher was hilarious in the beginning, and the part with the cat was pretty funny, but other than that, I thought the episode went by a bit too slowly. |
     |
| This was painful to watch, probably worst anime I have ever seen. Anyone who likes anime which has 'witty' jokes, is not repetitive and hate characters with voices so annoying you ears bleed... Do not watch this. take my advice and drop it like a sack of $4!I I could seriously only picture a 5 year old watching this and finding it enjoyable. It was worse than that sad fanservice excuse for an anime Rosario+Vampire. |
| ^Well said! I thought it was pretty good. There were a lot of funny moments like the cat biting her hand twice and the teacher at the beginning of the episode. I love Tomo already, she's so energetic and funny. ^^ |
 |
| Seems pretty hilarious. Osaka is my favorite so far. |
poopingcurse said: Was this supposed to be funny? ._. No. |
| I loved the opening song. So catchy. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I can definitely see how Lucky Star is influenced by this. Although Azumanga Daioh seems a lot more wacky XD |
 |
| Not one of the very best, but it got me into the series. Opening song: well that was what made me want to watch the anime. There's some better ones but it's still quite catchy. Ending song: one of the best anime songs I've listened so far. I love its slow pacing. When I first watched the episode, this was something completely new for me in a comedy, and this blend of wacky fun and relaxing tone won me in two seconds. Best part? Definitely, Yukari-sensei's bike rant! This episode was also essential to my solid impression of Tomo. As many people -even Azu fans- hate her, she got me in her very first scene. Osaka still had to be developed... I got lost in translation at the tsukkomi jokes at the time. And I actually laughed at Chiyo's cooking song! So random cuteness... Definitely something worth watching. 9/10 |
| LOL at Yukari's introduction xD and I love that Chiyo's song. so cute <3 |
| Who was that guy with the glasses at the beginning? He looks like a funny character... So far we have just begun but i hope the humor increases!! |
| Aha! I caught a dubbed version of this episode and really liked it. Since then I've been meaning to grab a subbed version to watch the whole series and I've just got it! Re-watched then first episode (in subs) and I much prefer it! I've never read the manga, but I know it's the same manga-ka who does Yotsuba& and I think that is amazing so I figured I'd probably like this. It does not disappoint! |
 |
| now i understand why lovely complex has this kind of weird dubbing accent this anime answers it... :) |
| lol this is so funny! that cat was so demonic! and i loved it when she didn't do her homework XD poor transfer student... and Sakaki is so cool! Tomo Takino is AMAZING! i loved it when she stood in the hall and had all those challenges! its so cool! GREAT EPI!! |
 |
| Pretty boring, don't understand why people liked but I'll try to finish it=) |

| well this is very different from the anime I usually watch PS. Yukari's dub voice immediately reminded me of the dub voice of Misato Katsuragi from Neon genesis evangelion and weird, both characters have pretty similar personalities X) |
| "Where will a newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite" - Motoko Kusanagi |
| Watched the English version and Osaka's voice annoys the living shit out of me. |
| Hilarious. |
| Love the first volume of the manga but the anime is unbearable. The voices and gestures are so sickeningly cutesy I had to stop. If the original is this bad, I cannot imagine what the dub is like. |
| Very light-hearted show, was expecting something like Minami-ke! Anyway will see how it all turns out. |
 |
| Haha this actually turned out to be more hilarious than I expected. Good episode. |
| Seems like a nice, relaxing anime. Which is what I was looking for. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| it was funny, but i had to pay mega attention, maybe i am just tired |
| Not bad. |
 |
| So far of i watched Lucky Star, A-Channel and now Azumanga Daioh (where it all began apparently) - Lucky Star is my favorite of the three but that may change. I will say that both the OP and ED are incredibly bland. The artstyle and color scheme is also a bit dull, but that may be due to it being 10 years old at this point. |

| Couple laughs, but overall pretty boring. I can't see watching the rest of this series. |
| this actually turned out to be more hilarious than I thought it would be. An overall good episode. |
| "I don't know either. It's a draw" lol. This show proves to be hilarious. |
 |
| Eh, I finally decided to watch this... Chiyo's voice is so fucking soft lol Sakaki is probably my favorite character so far but god damn, that cat looks weird. |
