Azumanga Web Daioh is the world's first internet-original OVA. If it's a series, it came before the anime series most fans are used to as well as the cinematic short that also came before the main TV series. The short and TV series were adapted by the same company and the success of the short led to the full series.
I must disagree with your last sentence. I don't think the success of the short movie led to the full series as it wasn't a pilot pitching an idea. Both short films were promotional materials for the on-going manga. The full series was going to happen anyways as the manga was quite popular at the time and in order to boost tankobon sales.
@@AA-lz4wq The full series might not have happened as Azuma was not sure if it could actually be adapted. To this day he is not allowing an animation of Yotsuba despite its popularity. But yeah, the short movie had nothing to do with the anime adaptation.
man there's something about really early 2000s anime that's so comforting also the irony of all of us finding this video nearly two decades later is pretty funny. ig that time capsule was still working :D
Its been 17 years and I dug this time capsule. They're already graduated I hope they will come back for their time capsule if they created another one.
Feels weird that a Web OVA would be made in 2000. It's not the first internet animation but, it's kinda on a different level compared to Early Newgrounds and George Liquor
I love seeing Chiyo-Chichi float up and down slowly across my screen looking like hes being clicked and dragged in the lowest quality possible as an intro. Absolutely Amazing.
Really? I didn’t notice that. I only noticed a difference in Tomo and Osaka’s voices. Yomi, Chiyo, and Kagura sounded as they were in the show, at least to me.
@@Mvn06 It's very nostalgic for me! Azumanga Daioh was one of my favorite anime for a long time! I remember watching this web OVA a bunch of times. I still remembered some of the upcoming lines and exactly how they were voiced. Azumanga Daioh was one of the first anime that I watched in Japanese where I significantly started to pick up on the language. I was in 6th... maybe 7th grade when I left this comment? Since this comment, I did foreign exchange in Japan in high school, moved to Japan for university, graduated, and am now a professional Japanese translator who translates anime and AAA studio games! Seeing middle school me's comment here and watching this is so nostalgic! And yes, 15 years later, Yukari-sensei still does exactly what I would do. :) I also just remembered I still quote her Japanese pronounciation of "adios" from an episode all the time. In middle school, Yukari-sensei was the one I identified with the most out of the Azumanga cast due to her insanity, and now as an even more insane adult who briefly worked as an English teacher in Japan... She's just like me fr.
I like this chiyo voice better, she sounds realistically kid-like unlike the really squeaky high pitched they have in the anime (nothing is wrong with it tho)
man i thuoght i would never see this movie since on wikipedia it said it was a limited time but man very awesome!! well it didn't show kimura, kaorin,chihiro, and kamineko.oh well thanks starsOjupiter!!
Is it just me or has Azumanga Daioh attracted some new people recently in 2022-2023? Saying this as one of them. Maybe it was that the whole series was uploaded on RUclips?
@BustaNut04 I am committed to what I could not stop becoming Normal anime is temporary, but noticing the lewd smaller details is just as eternal as DOOM is
@BustaNut04 Shouldn't be long before I properly start this series. This community just doesn't have the same culture of shitting on characters that aren't your favourite. Got to love it.
Bro … when this video came out … RUclips was something else than it was today. To this time there were so little amount of videos on the platform. Wow 16 years 🎉
The detail on the boob motion always catches me off guard in this short, lol. The way Tomo's jiggle when she approaches the camera, and the way Kagura's jiggle when she sees the camera.
i think the time capsule means that they made the video and 18 years later my goffy ahh can watch this. so its like a buried video from a billion years ago thats the coolest shit ive ever watched
It's 14 years later and I dug up this time capsule of a video
