Hmm

Animation seemed a bit weird, but it was pretty funny after all :D

Crazy girl is pretty annoying though

It was alright. The random Chiyo song got on my nerves though but love the part where Sakaki and Kamineko met each other XD

I thought the Chiyo song was adorable. And Yukari's introduction is hilarious.

I like the cute little song, but I think it would get annoying if it appeared twice an episode. (Good thing it doesn't!)

I also like the bit where Sakaki is walking, and she looks around at things like birds and a dog, then stretches, and breaks into a run. There's just something about it...

Tomo, your time was 9 seconds. :D

"Whah the heck wouldja?" indeed.

I have to say, I like Osaka better when she becomes more comfortable around the others. But it's understandable that she would have to be kind of shy to start.

So you're liking Tomo, huh? Yeah, I kinda like her, too. You might (might!) also like Kagura, then. They're pretty similar in that regard. Though she's also like Sakaki and Yomi in other regards, so I don't know how that'll strike you.

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

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.

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... there are better episodes, but someone with such fragile ears as yourself would not, sadly, be able to enjoy them, as the voices do not improve. I suppose this means you will not be joining us in future discussions, as only an idiot would subject himself to recreation which he does not enjoy and which actually causes injury. I suppose it is our loss.

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. ^^

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

He'll get a more proper introduction in another episode. (Which you may have seen by now, as it's been 24 days.)

I like to think it does, but try not to let that be the only thing you base your enjoyment on.

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!

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)

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.

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.
