Didn't see a thread about it in the catalog, so why not have a thread dedicated to the genius of Kiyohiko Azuma?

Azumanga is so pure, like an English rose. Best "girls in high school act cute" anime, ever.

What gets me is Azuma spazzing over the Azumanga anime and carrying on like it /defiled/ what he created. Seriously, dropkick, nothing since has come even close to it in terms of production and creativity. It was the Jackson Pollock/Andy Warhol of Anime.

This is the anime responsible for getting me hooked on moeshit and CGDCT.
In fact, it's the first ever of that genre, ar far as I know.
So if you hate moeshit, blame Azumanga.
Also, this is one of those you have to be this japanese to understand it anime. Trying to view it without TNs is suicide.

Why do people think azumanga is moeshit? It's hard comedy.
No.64401
>>64358
Because of the female cast and high school setting, although I think it's an insult to compare Azumanga to trash like K-On or Nichijou

Nigga, those two are worlds apart in just about everything.
Azumanga and Nichijou have more in common than most anime about high school girls. Complete with surreal moments seemingly incorporated in the girls real lives.

It's a slice of life comedy with a female-supermajority cast, how is that not moe? It's not like moe is necessarily a bad thing, you know.

I think the obvious choice is Sakaki as wife and then adopt Osaka and Chiyo chan as daughters with the view to incorporate them within the harem when then come of age

Moe doesn't mean 'any random japanese schoolgirl'. It's meaning is more towards 'naive affectionate/romantic ideal'.
All the girls in Azumanga have issues in some way that loses points for them. Moeshit shows are less 'slice of life' and more 'this girl gets points for some in the audience'.

gap moe :^)
moeshit applies more specifically to CGDCT / "healing" shows depending on your own tastes; azumanga is neither since it is a comedy above all else.

Who else was Azumanga the 'killer application' that got them onto Bittorrent?
I was going to a Uni Anime Club at the time, and it had its weekly meets on the day the fansubs appeared. For those halcyon few months, it was stop everything the moment the torrent appeared (being a Uni, it only took a few minutes for the download to complete..) The club screenings happened at 6pm local time, and the first thing to do on arrival was to get a highly-tuned Linux server at the ready.

Just to mention, before Bittorrent came along, Fansub distribution was done via IRC, usually a DCC bot running on a hacked server in channels owned by fagnazis wanting everyone to nobgobble them constantly. At our club, there were two guys who could put up with that, and they would bring their downloads on CDs for everyone to copy…

I made pilgrimages to the twice-yearly anime "convention" then held in a beerhall. There were maybe two or three dozen people there in total, mostly swapping/selling bootleg DVDs and the occasional nip merch import that was treated as a holy treasure.

…back when Anime Conventions were run by Anime Fan Clubs, with just Anime fans in attendance, Anime-related Cosplayers (and 'no original character' competitions..), etc., and not the dross of today's commercial Supanova-type cons made for Big Bang Theory-level normies who're there to see Wil Wheaton…
