Nyamo

It’s the girls’ first day of high school. A new world that they have to get used to. But, that may be harder than it seems. They have to deal with their crazy English teacher Yukari, new classmates, a new environment, and even more craziness than ever before!

The Very Short Movie

The Very Short Azumanga Daioh Movie is a six minute trailer released to movie theatres to publicize the upcoming television series.

Osaka has a strange dream of Chiyo and her pigtails being possessed. But, what will happen when Chiyo’s pigtails bounce out of the window? It’s a typical day in Yukari’s class, or as typical as it gets with the girls around.

Azumanga Web Daioh

A pilot episode under four minutes in length that appeared on the official Japanese Azumanga Daioh website for a limited time. Azumanga Web Daioh was originally intended to gauge whether there was enough interest to warrant creating a web-released series version of the manga; overwhelming demand resulted in the decision to abandon the original web-release plan in favor of television release. As a pilot, it featured different voice actors and music from the regular series.
