Based on the 4-panel comic strip by Kiyohiko Azuma, Azumanga Daioh was one of the most popular – and hilarious! – Anime titles of 2002. Originally released as 6 separate DVDs last year, you can now find them all collected into a single boxed set! Watch six high school girls and a few of their friends deal with… well… high school. And growing up. And friendship. And that creepy male teacher that always seems to be around. It’s their daily lives that lend themselves to the funny and makes you wish high school was that much fun.

Absolutely wonderful comedic timing, a catchy and endearing soundtrack, bright and fun animation, and unforgettable characters – if watching a cartoon about girls getting through high school doesn’t sound like your thing, get Azumanga Daioh anyway, because it’ll surprise you.
