Old-School Anime Retrospective: Azumanga Daioh
Фильм және анимация
One of the most popular shows of the early 2000s and the arguable progenitor of moe iyashikei slice-of-life, the impact of Azumanga Daioh is still felt, even by those who might not recognize it. But can an iconic comedy still be funny, and how did it age? Jisu of SecretIdentityStudio revisits the series from a modern and a nostalgic perspective.

It gets pretty old hearing about whether or not something "aged well".
imo Kaorin is good being secondary character
It's weird thinking most of the characters would be in their 30s now.

I'm glad that as a young person I found this anime and I read the manga because it's a real gem and it's a shame that most people my age will never see it since it has kind of been forgotten. Though I do feel like it's making a sort of comeback in popularity.
My Mom is from West Virginia and used to tell me stories about how awkward it was when she transferred to Wisconsin as a kid. So the Osaka=Southerner tradition has me thinking of my Mom as one of Anime's biggest Memes. Have you seen Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl? That would be good to do for Pride Month, it's on Retro Crush currently both Dubbed and Subbed.
Leave my precious Kaorin alone!!! Great video btw.
I wish kaorin was more fleshed out then just being obsessed with sakaki
I remember when I first discovered this show. It was the early 2000s, and I found a copy of the first volume at my local EB Games. I noticed that the rating for that volume was an "MA" (Equivalent to a US "R" rating). And I thought, it may be a bit controversial for my tastes, despite the cute aesthetic. I then saw the first episode on an Anime Sampler DVD, and when I saw it, I thought, "It's rated MA, why?" I mean, this was the most innocent and safe show you could possibly imagine. None of the content qualifies for an MA. I later discovered that the MA was due to the "Pool, Pool, Pool!" episode, but even that episode does not seem to be as controversial as it seems. It's rather tame in the whole scheme of things. So if you live in Australia, and want to watch Azumanga Daioh, completely ignore the MA rating. The series is about as harmless as the Simpsons, and probably qualifies for a PG nowadays, or at least a light "M". And it wasn't just Azumanga Daioh that fell victim to the Australian Censors. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was given an MA when it mainly qualified for a PG or an M.
Pretty good review of one of the best, most satisfying animes ever made! The clean, original humor, memorable characters brimming with personality, amazing dubbing from both the Japanese and the US, fantastic rewatch value and a great overall enjoyment factor that leaves you satisfied throughout the series. Few exceptions aside, this is THE anime that placed the slice-of-life genre on the map. Also, one of the best translation from the manga to the anime, even being better than the manga itself with some smooth transitions. :)
Oh...Sakaki still has my heart! ❤ I hope she will oneday pet the 😺 without getting bitten or not have to awkwardly talk to Chio-sans father!
Aged like a fine wine 😚👌
How has this video not got more views. AzuDai makes everything better.

I already watched all the episode 3 times and I still love it
I watched this anime at school in the Anime Club back in the early 00s, truly one of the most iconic series ever.
I got into this show because I've been seeing memes of this show day in day out for the past 2 years on ifunny from my subs, I hated it, then I watched it, then I hated that I loved it
Yay! It's ready!
I reccomend Magical girl Lyrical Nanoha in the next old retrospective video and also Merry chrismas Jisu.

better than ever
I rewatched this recently and some episodes had a mix of joke that landed and others thst didnt. Like the 3 knuckleheads episode who i feel can be skipped. I feel kaorin is probably the worst in she has 2 jokes. Im glad your videos also brings that to attention
Loved this show. It was so stupidly charming.
Watched this to decide whether I should check it out 😄
I was fortuitous enough to buy the box set back in the 2000’s. Still have it all in one piece!
Ay shugo chara is gonna be 16 in 3 years :P
Yes it's still good.. no reason for any discussion
Still goated
fun fact:both english and japanese dub are available on youtube!
I wish there were a remake
In this day and age, Tomo's English VA is the only one who never really went back to anime. (Jessica Boone is in the dub of Vinland Saga)
Have you ever commented about / hear of "Seitokay Yakuindomo"? It's hylarious !!!!!!
that's all well and fine but can you tell me where is my Yotsubato! anime adaptation
あ!
I don’t care, this show will ALWAYS be funny.
Could of sworn this was 2005 I guess not
2:47 imagine finding Kaorin relateable because you're a "useless lesbian with only one joke who got kinda boring eventually"
Maybe one of the things that made Azumanga Daioh ages so well is that is a good example of passing the Bechdel Test. Strangely enough, there aren't too much anime series that passes the test, before or since.
