What is azumanga daioh about?

Answer 1

Azumanga Daioh is a Japanese animation (anime) about a crazy high school in Tokyo.

Main characters

The main characters in Azumanga Daioh are Chiyo the ten year old genius who's skipped five grades; Tomo, the hyper active crazy girl who gets constantly low grades as a result of her tendency not to study; Yomi, Tomo's best friend since grade school who is smart because she studies and is constantly on diets; Osaka, genuinely an airhead and terrible at sports; Sakaki, sporty, smart and worshiped by all (especially Kaorin) when she's really a shy, quiet animal lover and Kagura, ever Sakaki's rival and super sporty.

There is also the three rather eccentric teachers. Miss Yukari, the super hyperactive homeroom teacher who also teaches languages (but doesn't speak German!) Miss Kurosawa (otherwise known as Nyamo) teaches PE, and, despite being Miss Yukari's best friend, is calm and serene. There is also the somewhat perverted classics teacher who mostly lives in his own little world.

Not forgetting the lesser characters Kaorin and Chihiro, two best friends who occasionally embark on their own adventures (mostly related to Kaorin's obsession with Sakaki!)

Story

We spend the series watching the girls grow up; from the start of high school to the very end. We watch their adventures ranging from Osaka's hiccups to trips to Chiyo's summer houses to college applications. This show will make you laugh out loud and yet grip you to watch to the very end.
