Hmm. In the ADV dub, Yomi says that Chiyo is "super-smart", and Osaka recalls a boy who liked to "smart off a lot"; in the sub, she's a prodigy, and the boy was "precocious". Makes me wonder whether the underlying Japanese has something similar.

The overhead passing thing goes on a little too long, but nowhere near as bad as one particular bit in a future episode gets.

For those who are still concerned, she doesn't become the main character, but she does become a main character, as there is no single main character. Although there are points where one or two get the focus for a while.

Heh, I usually prefer to call her "Ayumu", at least to myself. I mean, given that it's something she gets used to rather than a name she actually likes...

Ahaha! This is really random, segment by segment in 1 episode. LOL!

Well, I think it's too bad to watch it in marathon. It kinda gets me bored. Gonna watch this from time to time. ^^

It gets less so, honest. My personal favorites tend to be closer to the end of the series... including the final episode itself.

Hm, I'm trying to think of an episode that "takes too long" ...

Does it have to do with Sakaki??

Heh, no, it's in episode 8. Check out its thread on this board when you get around to it to see what I say about it. :)

Osaka's good but I hope that there is no main character and that it's shared between Tomo, Sakaki, Glasses girl, short haired girl, Osaka and Chiyo

Yeah, pretty much. And that's Koyomi (Yomi, for short) and... well, if you mean Chihiro or even Kaorin, neither are really main characters, though Kaorin... seems to come close at times. Kagura only gets a couple of scenes until next year.

So, here's our Osaka.

Pretty hilarious and cute episode, with so many classic comedy scenes, say cockroach, dust particles, pigtails, chopsticks, traffic lights or the whole last act with the hiccups. Although I have to say the volleyball joke is severely overrated.

My first of many 10s goes to this first brilliant approach at Ayumu's weirdness.

Uh, I'm still surprised at how Yomi could do THAT :p...

I forgot how adorable Osaka was. I remembered her being hilarious, that's not something you forget. But she's so cute too, would waifu.

Chiyo is still so unbearably cute, guess she doesn't excel in everything. Hiccups for over two hours? Something's definitely wrong.

And the cockroach part was the funniest. Alright episode, not as funny as the 1st. 3/5.

This episode was basically the misadventures of Osaka. She is one of the most dysfunctional characters I've seen in a long time. I love it.

The way they just kept on having Chiyo and Osaka repeating their volleyball passes just got so funny hahaha.

Oh my gosh, I'm so like Osaka when splitting chop sticks, hahaha.

That hiccup arc lolol.

I love Osaka's character in general, hahaha. The voice acting for her is so on-point. Also the comedic timing in this episode is great. Many laugh out loud moments.

Holy crap Azumanga Daioh is hilarious. I think what works here is its almost deadpan style of comedy, where situations happen and for the most part, the viewers are the ones that have to react. The characters provide some reactions and commentary, but leaving it primarily for the viewer works since the anime isn't telling the viewer how to feel. Also, everyone is a weirdo, but in almost understated ways. It feels like it'll take a few more episodes just to understand how comically messed up these characters are.
