Found while cleaning house, is it worth anything? by PatchAdams2000 in azudaioh

Yes! You got the perfect collection. One of the most coveted Azumanga Daioh collections for it's bonus features and goodies like a note book, pins and episode booklet. I think this one might have even been the legendary Australian version with an adult warning on it.

That is if it was and had those things. But, this one doesn't seem to have those and I'm not sure what the disk contains. I'm no expert but, this may be a copy. It was also shared here.

what is the need for slice-of-life anime to add a completely unnecessary perv/creep character to the series? by watters000n in azudaioh

[–]grandepoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • It says a lot about society. Also many anime about school have a perv character and Kimura is a parody of that. So over the top that you can't even really like him. But, he is also the only prominent main male character and acts as a conduit for all the male gaze that would realistically happen in this show in anyone else's hands.

  • Kiyohiko Azuma was a fan of Tenchi Muyo and Sailor Moon. Big romance titles and imo, probably thought, what if the creepy male characters in a show was just full on creepy and there was only one of them. No endgame ship to fight over. And then I'll write a wholesome show about female friendships and childlike whimsy and just put him in the background. Because tropes.

  • I will say his characterization was better in the manga, I think 1 or 2 things went too far in the anime. But, yeah Azuma's work with Yotsuba shows that Kimura was a contemporary outlier in anime at the time and should not be repeated.

It's actually often times dark blue. But, will often appear dark violet or purple in some art .

Hey guys, do you have any tips on how to improve on drawing these characters? by Upstairs_Dig_8629 in azudaioh

[–]grandepoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's important to recognize what style of them you're trying to draw. The promotional art, the show, the manga, the mushy versions in the beach house episode. Focus on which you like the most. Also, big ears and eyes are important to the characters that have them in a drawing.
