I was watching the trailer, and it looks like something good to watch. I think I'd have gotten it now thanks to that finger chomping cat. But I want to hear from other people who have watched it. I don't want to be buying another lemon (like when I bought Popotan).

It's funny. That's about all I can come up with at 5am having got no sleep. That's all it boils down to, though. It has no real plot beyond the rather ridiculous day-to-day life of a group of high school girls.

Very VERY few things in this world are funnier than Azumanga Daioh. It is worth any and all money you spend on it.

"Seinfeld" and "pretty good" do not belong anywhere in the same sentence.

In his defense, they were in seperate sentences.

In your defense, I agree that Seinfeld is not funny.

I dunno anything about Azumanga Daioh, though.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Prime example of how Seinfeld sucked: ".. Not that there's anyhthing wrong with that."

The only amusing bit of that show that I can remember is the Soup Nazi. He had one line that was funny and that was about it.

Yeah, Cavalier, I'm not sure I've seen you post anything that isn't a cliche of some sort.

On topic, though.. I don't know of any anime fans who haven't liked Azumanga Daioh, no matter what their tastes are otherwise. It's just a really light-hearted, funny show. I need to finish it some time..

I'm well aware of the cliche, and was pretty sure you people were aware of what my style of humour is.

I was attempting to add a little humour to the thread to defuse the potential FLAME WAR it was developing into between you and RIG ('cos, ya know, I don't see no Flame tag on it).


His question still stands though: What *HAS* got your panties in such a bunch? Everytime I've seen you post something in the last 2 weeks it's been a hate-filled, vitriolic attack... and when you respond to RIG, it just gets worse.

Normally you can be quite a civil and logical poster... but lately it looks like you've been trying to join "the cool kids" by turning into an asshole.

You havent read a lot of what I post then, have you?


But yeah, sometimes leads I tend to use cliches about a person/topic to make (or try to make) a humourous side comment. Sometimes its funny to everyone, sometimes I'm the only one that sees the humour *shrug*.

If only one person sees the humor in something, it's pretty safe to say it isn't funny. At all. Period.

True.

But then again, I find lots of things funny that few others do.


Seinfeld for example.. or a man being hit in the balls by a dog chasing a frisbee...

Supposedly I can get some of Azumanga Daioh through cable. But it's like episodes 10-14 or something and I can't stand watching things out of sequence. Also it's dubbed, and I've been told that like half the series loses it's humor to dub, but maybe that's wrong.
