Story: 7/10
Like most slice of life anime, this anime doesn't really have a major plot. It's pretty much just another slice of life, comedy anime. If you're not into that then you may find this anime kind of boring and fair enough. I really enjoyed watching these characters and their day to day lives (hence the name slice of life).
Art: 8/10
The animation isn't perfect but this anime did come out in 2002 and it's pretty good for its time. I got used to it and came to appreciate it and find the characters cute (especially Osaka).
Sound: 10/10
The sound was very good. The opening, ending, voice acting and background sounds were all spot on and nice to listen to. The opening makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but is still very catchy. I have it stuck in my head while writing this review.
Characters: 10/10
The main characters are Sakaki, Kagura, Chiyo, Tomo, Yomi and Ayumu, whose nickname is Osaka because she's from Osaka. There are several other background characters too, some more recurring than others. The characters all have their own unique personalities and while watching this anime I came to like them all quite quickly. The characters help make this anime very relaxing and hilarious at the same time. It's also very cute and charming.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Azumanga Daioh is my 6th favourite out of 50+ anime I've watched, which is obviously very high. Azumanga Daioh is a very cute, charming relaxing and funny anime and I enjoyed every minute of it. It made me happy and also made me laugh every episode. Even when it's not making you laugh, it''ll still be fun to watch. It's not bland or boring like some anime that will leave you with nothing when not making you laugh, if they even manage to make you laugh. Azumanga Daioh is one of my favourite anime and I loved it.
Overall: 10/10
This anime is a masterpiece. If you're into slice of life, comedy anime than this is the anime for you. You might not like it, everyone is different, but you most likely will. This anime is very popular. I love this anime and have even re-watched parts of it. It's definitely one of those anime that I'll never forget about and I'll always love, even in 50 years from now or even 100. If you're not into slice of life then you may not like this anime very much but i think it's still worth trying.
