"Azumanga Daioh questions."
, posted Thu 1 May 00:27
I'm rewatching this great series now, and one thing I've been pondering for awhile now is the relationship between Kaorin and Sakaki. Does Kaorin want... how to put this... a romantic relationship with Sakaki? That's the kind of feeling I got from her. Also, at the first track meet, hey play this song for I think it's the 100 meter dash or something. Anyways, it's the first race that's Sakaki's in. That song has been my ring tone on my cell phone for ages, yet I never knew what it's called or what it's even from. Anyone know the name of this song, and maybe some background info?

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. There's that very thin line between "Oh Senpai! You're so cool! I love you!" and "Oh Senpai! You're so cool! Let's go have sex in the closet!" and she's all over that line. Plus she's the most repulsed by the only male character, but that might just be because he's such a freak.

Meh, I know I've seen the whole girl on girl crush thing brought up somewhere else, so I just assumed that it was one of those wacky cultural asides that I wouldn't really be able to understand. Was it in KareKano? I think so, one of the later episodes where they focus on one of Yukino's sisters.

Kaorin isn't interested in Sakaki in a sexual/romantic way, she just admires Sakaki very very very much.
Too bad Kimura really has a big thing for Kaorin, making her life more difficult than it really is. Which is weird, because I'd thought that Kimura would have gone for a "bigger" female :D

I don't know, Kaorin's dream about Sakaki calling her by her first name and making kissy faces at her is more than a bit sexual.

Plus she got super agitated when Tomo accidentally had her hand on her chest during the first summer vacation...

...and that classic facial expression and the wheezing when Tomo showed her the pics of Sakaki in a swimsuit...
Kaori wants to have hot monkey sex with Sakaki, there is no doubt about it. At the same time though, she would probably die of a heart attack or something if that situation would ever come up. I love AzuDai.

And in episode 15, the three legged race seems kind of sexual to me....

And remember in the first sports meet when she dances with Sakaki? Wedding bells and all there.

Heh heh. I've seen episodes 1-5... I think she likes Sakaki the same way that Mina likes Maki in Airmaster....

Looks like the evidence is "stacked" against Kaorin! :D
And I'm so proud of this board, because so many of you watch Airmaster! Why do people diss this anime? :)

BECAUSE THEY ARE INSANE. How could you hate Airmaster? Seriously?

The largest criticism I've heard is that the " characters are ugly " (I don't agree, really). I.E., they "diss" it for stupid reasons.

I figured it was something about not liking the art style. I like it though. I don't think they're ugly, either.

I watched the first episode of Airmaster because of recommendations around here, and I hated it. It was one of the lamest things I've seen in a long time. It's poorly-paced and boring, the writing is lame, and it's pretty cliched. It didn't help that the art is bad and the characters are really unlikable (Maki is a bad Sakaki wannabe, and I cannot BELIEVE how annoying that little girl is). Add to that the painful fanservice (constant panty shots, groan-inducing breast humor)...sigh. Sorry guys, I gave it a shot...it's just not for me.

Don't have a problem with the designs, I've seen and enjoyed anime with uglier designs before.
Nah, what turned me off Airmaster was a plot that really didn't intrest me and Renge (Who is the most annoying character I have ever seen). In fact if Renge wasn't there I might have watched another ep, but since she was...

I don't know. I'd say just ignore Renge and give it another shot. The second episode doesn't have as much fighting in it and has more "breast humor", but the third episode has a great fight scene VS a guy with a collapsable staff.

I saw the episode where they had the athletic festival or whatever recently. I was told Kimura was voiced by the same guy that does Yamazaki's voice in KoF, and he finally went into Yamazaki mode during the dance. It was great. Heh heh.

I just watched the dream episode again. You don't have dreams like that about someone you admire very much... I'm pretty sure Kaorin had to change her underwear after waking up, if you catch my drift :P

I think that's the next episode in the series for me... I haven't seen it yet. I've already taken a screen shot of Sakaki and the kitty thing at a table, though...
