Ever since I first heard that Azumanga Daiou was going to animated, I started to look forward to seeing Maya-'s heroic second appearance. To me, that was the most memorable scene in the manga, and it was done very closely in the anime, so I'm very thankful for that. Well, in the manga, cats cornered Sakaki-san and Chiyo-chan to a wall, but in the anime, they were in line with the street.

Do you know why Azumanga Daiou is great? Because it's about girls. Let's face it. Men are the most uninteresting creatures on this planet! Worse yet, men think they are actually interesting. Listen to yourselves talk, man! I do. I'm one boring creature, alright.

Girls, on the other hand, have this intricate emotional web that reach out around them. It doesn't reach out very far, but where it reaches, it forms a beautiful yet strong bond. Sure the characters in Azumanga Daiou are a bit too ideal, but nothing wrong with that in art form. Ideal by what standards, you ask? By Kimura's standards, I answer. But Kimura himself is just a character! Not necessarily. You see? If you read Azuma Kiyohiko's old parody works, you'll see that Kimura is actually a concentrated version of Kiyohiko himself (with some added sugar)!

Kimura is a brutally honest man, so I shall be as well. The way I see it, there's something terribly wrong with girls who don't like Azumanga Daiou. As for men, those are the type of men who will end up boring their wives to death. You know the type; beer-drinking, football-watching, power-loving, and ultimately useless creatures.

I love Azumanga Daiou and all the girls in it. Unlike Kimura, though, I have no desire to see them change. That side of Kimura is just a big joke to me.
