Ah! I totally forgot about poor Osaka, she was on my to get list. She looks quite simple and nice.

Yeah, the eyes aren’t the best quality but the photos where they look bad are the close-up macro shots. They don’t look so bad from a normal viewing distance.

Yep, it’s definitely a great series ^^. I tend to like silly slice of life series like it. Lucky Star and Hidamari Sketch too :D

As for the figures, I certainly prefer Osaka over Sakaki. Despite the sculpting problems, Osaka is still really cute and I’m glad I got her. The upcoming Kagura figure also looks pretty good :)

Adored “Azumanga Daioh”, such a classic anime. Should grab it on value DVD sometime. It is indeed a timeless classic and a scomedies go a must watch for all. Perhaps one of the first token slice-of-life/school comedy (without romance)?

When young fans raved about “Lucky Star” and its concept, did they realize it probably got its genre inspiration from Azumanga?

These figures look alright but not that convincing, Sasaki’s expression isn’t much to my liking. Will pass on these.

Yeah… Osaka is seriously weird sometimes. But that’s what makes her so funny. You know, when I first read Azumanga Daioh, I didn’t like her much, but 5+ years after my first reading, I read the manga again and I found her downright hilarious. Not sure what changed there :-/ Maybe I’ve gotten stupider to laugh at such silly humor ^^;

Aw man, Azumanga seemed like so long ago…
So long that I’ve completely forgotten that Osaka even has a real name ^^;
I’m more for Sakaki, because I remember getting a little freaked out by Osaka. Some of the stuff she said and saw… She be trippin’ real high.
Too bad they have sculpt problems. Would’ve been a lot more interest if they were more polished. Well, there’s always the design knife :p…

To be honest, if I had to pick one, I would also pick Yotsuba. I absolutely love the manga xD
Still, Azumanga Daioh makes me laugh :)

Simple, yes… though I guess I should give them some credit because Azuma’s original character designs were indeed simple ^^;

Glad you like the pics ^^
