Okay Class, take your seats! Before we start today’s lesson, we’d like to go ahead and introduce you to something new. Everyone, give a warm welcome to the official website dedicated to ADV Films’ release of Azumanga Daioh!

For those of you unfamiliar with the title, Azumanga Daioh follows the hilariously touching day-to-day adventures of a group of almost-ordinary high school girls and their extra-ordinary teachers and surroundings, in a manner reminiscent of Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes. The original manga by Kiyohiko Azuma was published as a series of four-panel strips, much like the traditional comic strips published in American newspapers. To reflect the concept of the manga, each episode of the Azumanga Daioh, anime consists of several loosely related, character-driven segments, many of which adapt Azuma’s original strips.

Roaming the chaotic halls of our Azumanga Daioh website, you will find a treasure trove of information on the series' delightful cast of characters, as well as the series itself, and ADV’s release of it. We have also raided the school's lost and found bin and are putting up a virtual treasure chest of downloadable goodies like desktop backgrounds and the rest of the usual fare that are guaranteed to keep all of the Azumanga Daioh fans out there entertained for hours on end.

Finally, class, make sure that you check out the Lunch Menu section for information on the latest servings of Azumanga Daioh goodness. ADV says it is crunchy and tastes good with milk, so be sure to get yourself a big helping of this madcap series on April 27th! If you're really hungry for Azumanga Daioh, and want to acessorize and look trendy, the Collector's Edition release comes with some awesome lapel pins exclusive only to that release. If you want to style and profile with Chiyo-chan and Kamineko on your duds, then the boxset is the only way to go. If you can’t wait that long, ADV Manga will be more than happy to keep you occupied with the excellent Azumanga Daioh manga they’ve been releasing.
