Comment: I'm watching this anime because people said this anime is funny but when I watched this anime, it's not as funny as I thought. The storyline is simple so it's easy to understand but somehow I don't get in some parts where they were starting to have vivid imaginations. I know it must be really amazing to have vivid imagination but I don't get the relation between the vivid imagination and the storyline itself. And I don't get the joke parts either because I feel that the jokes are kinda lame. Overall, this anime is meant for people who loves Azumanga Daioh. If you're looking for comedy anime with a proper storyline, this anime should be avoided in the first place. Kids might love this anime though.

I do agree with some of your points. I think part of the problem was in the conversion of the manga to the anime, with the rigid time demands that come with TV broadcasting.

Since this anime is mostly targeted for kids, I do understand that AzuD does not need a proper storyline and the jokes are good enough for kids. And most important thing is the characters must be cute. So yeah, people can watch if they love cute characters but if they're looking for something more than just cute characters, this anime is totally not for them. So whoever out there would think the same like me if characters' cuteness don't do justice for them
