After watching some of UltimateUKFFFan's videos (I've subscribed to him on YouTube), I had some theories of my own. Now don't flame me hard or get all pissed off on me for anything I say.

Theory #1: Are the Azumanga characters weirder than they normally appear to be?

We all know the AzuDai characters are weird (except possibly Yomi & Nyamo). I looked a bit deeper an here's my findings:

Chiyo Mihara: There's gotta be something wrong with her. I just don't know what it is. How else could a 10-year-old girl get into high school at her age?
Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga: We all know what's wrong with her.
Tomo Takino: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sakaki: ...Bestiality fetish. THERE, I SAID IT. (But seriously, what else could explain her interest in animals?)
Kaorin: She has an STS (Single Target Sexuality) directed towards Sakaki. We all knew that though.
Yukari Tanizaki: Anger issues, competitive...could she be an older version of Tomo? But that means...*GASP*
Kimura: Ephebophilia. Again, stating the obvious.

I will use this thread to progress deeper into my studies.

[jinzo64]

strange study you got there.

tomo is totaly hyper.
osaka probably has aspergers.
chiyo is super clever.
sakaki never felt cute due to always being tall and is obsessed wit hcute things
kaorin. she has the thing as soifon.
yomi. is tomos best friend so there 's somthing wrong with her maybe shes just lonley.
yukari. is just mental and jealous of Nyamo
nyamo. same as yomi shes best friends with a nutter.
kagura. is like a cross between sakaki and tomo but not as hyper.

Yukari Tanizaki: Anger issues, competitive...could she be an older version of Tomo? But that means...*GASP*
Kimura: Ephebophilia. Again, stating the obvious.

you don't think a 10 year old can get into highschool? when i took the SAT an 11 year old was taking it with us, he's 1 year older than Chiyo, but that was one damn smart kid.

[XelaisPWN]

...I've never heard of STS before. You should probably change it just to STS, because saying that what's wrong with Kaorin is that she's gay isn't exactly PC, not to mention that i vaguely remember her saying at one point she'd still like Sakaki if she was a dude.

If we wanted to be more specific with our diagnoses (<-word?) of fictional characters, We can probably describe Tomo as having ADHD. Osaka quite obviously has telltale signs of... er... Osaka...ism. Is there a word for what's wrong with her?

wikipedia just calls her a "space cadet." xD

[animemental1]

I like to call it Asperger's Syndrome.

A lot of people say she has ADD, but I think it's closer to Asperger's.

Also, you certain Kaorin has STS? We don't know for sure.

[jinzo64]

with we go with adhd for tomo

then we should go aspergers for osaka i think that would more accurate.

kaorin is gay for sakaki just like soifon is for yoruichi

[animemental1]

Fine, I'll edit it.

Also, here's another one:

Theory #2: The GAINAX Theory Part 1/3: Symbolism *WARNING: Not for the faint of heart.*

We all know about GAINAX. However, most of us know it by their large amount of mind**** animes. There are a lot of people who don't understand the secrets within GAINAX animes (Evangelion, FLCL, Gurren Lagann, Abenobashi, Panty & Stocking, etc.). I came up with this theory to explain three things:

1. The amount of symbolism in GAINAX animes.
2. Life lessons in GAINAX animes.
3. The GAINAX Moment

Let's start off by explaining the symbolism using everyone's favorite show...FLCL.

FLCL was practically one of the biggest mind****s in anime history. They managed to stuff an entire plot into a six episode OVA. However, FLCL tends to have deeper meaning to it. There have been a lot of theories about FLCL's characters & symbols ranging from sex all the way to the writings of Fredrich Nietzche (Is that even how his name's spelled?). I have managed to find out more about it (thanks to FLCL World, a FLCL fan site).

It turns out that FLCL really is centered around sex & puberty. There are many times when it's not noticeable. And sometimes, it's very noticeable.

Haruko: C'mon, just rush it!
Naota: If I rush it, it won't pop!

Haruko: DON'T TOUCH IT! A young girl like you shouldn't touch it with your BARE HANDS!

Mamimi: *touches horn* Huh?
Haruko: Clean girls usually wait 'till the wedding night.

*shudders*...Anyways, there is a lot of it.

The horns? They resemble erections.

The drinks? They resemble maturity (the sweet ones resemble the happiness of childhood, & the sour ones resemble the bitterness of adulthood.).

And Amarao's eyebrows? And I quote from Family Guy:

"Any man with a big house, or a fancy car, or a gold tooth is saying 'Hey. Don't look at my penis.'" -Peter Griffin, Family Guy

Obviously, we can infer from this that Amarao's "stick" is small.

This is proof that there are some reasons why GAINAX animes are so ****ed up. And there's more.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try to get all of that out of my head before Part 2.

Haruko to Amarao: "Small, as usuall" (something like that)

It's pretty obvious.

OH SHI-

[thedarkmessenger]

It's easy to recognize Asperger's in anime when you have it yourself.

That being said...Haruhi :p

[animemental1]

Nice to know I have the same disease that God has. XD

[thedarkmessenger]

Nice to know I have the same disease that God has. XD

The fact that God has the same disability as us means we will someday rule the universe >:3

[XelaisPWN]

I feel bad that I had to look up what Gainax was.

[XelaisPWN]

I used to think that people who self-diagnosed themselves with aspergers were nutjobs, but holy crap, that's scary close to me.

* Have a very hard time relating to others. It doesn't mean that they avoid social contact. But they lack instincts and skills to help them express their thoughts and feelings and notice others’ feelings.
* Like fixed routines. Change is hard for them.
* May not recognize verbal and nonverbal cues or understand social norms. For example, they may stare at others, not make eye contact, or not know what personal space means.
* May have speech that’s flat and hard to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent. Or they may have a formal style of speaking that’s advanced for their age.
* May lack coordination; have unusual facial expressions, body postures, and gestures; or be somewhat clumsy.
* May have poor handwriting or have trouble with other motor skills, such as riding a bike.
* May have only one or a few interests, or they may focus intensely on a few things. For instance, they may show an unusual interest in snakes or star names or may draw very detailed pictures.
* May be bothered by loud noises, lights, or strong tastes or textures.

[thedarkmessenger]

I didn't self-diagnose mine. It was disgnosed by a doctor when I was 3 or 5 years old :o

[XelaisPWN]

Well, excuuuuse me.

I've always known I have ADD, and dyspraxia, and possibly dysgraphia, and I have a few OCD tendencies (e.g. I only eat finger food with my left hand. Always.), this might explain things.

[animemental1]

I was told by my special ed teacher that I was showing symptoms of it. And when I looked it up, she was right.

But don't underestimate some of us just 'cause we're retarded.

[XelaisPWN]

Yeah, **** NT people!

[Ken-Chan]

i feel left out because i'm normal it just feels weird :'(

[XelaisPWN]

i feel left out because i'm normal it just feels weird :'(

WE CAN'T HAVE NORMAL PEOPLE HERE! Quick, self-diagnose yourself with something!

[Ken-Chan]

maybe normal wasnt the right word to use i just know of nothing that i could have and i refuse to self diagnose mostly because i'm jsut to lazy

[thedarkmessenger]

But don't underestimate some of us just 'cause we're retarded.

I wouldn't call Asperger's people retarded :0 Actually, most of us have a superior intelligence to "normal" people. I've always thought that was the reason I couldn't communicate well with the rest of the population.

[XelaisPWN]

I'm infamous with my group of friends for being the guy who couldn't naturally start a conversation to save his life.

I can communicate fine when you give me a topic I'm passionate about. Otherwise it's just awkward.

HaHaHa sounds exactly like a mate of mine
i still remember when i got a female friend of mine to go and talk to him he got embarrassed but i found it hilarious good times

i have realized that i'm a bit of an ass.....ow well

You just summed up my social life.

That being said...Haruhi :p

True, Haruhi does show the symptoms.


* Have a very hard time relating to others. It doesn't mean that they avoid social contact. But they lack instincts and skills to help them express their thoughts and feelings and notice others? feelings.

We obviously see a lot of that during the first episode.


* May not recognize verbal and nonverbal cues or understand social norms. For example, they may stare at others, not make eye contact, or not know what personal space means.

Koyaanisqatsi clip in Hell 5. Sums it up pretty well.


* May lack coordination; have unusual facial expressions, body postures, and gestures; or be somewhat clumsy.

She defi- Oh, wait. That's Mikuru, not Haruhi.


* May have only one or a few interests, or they may focus intensely on a few things. For instance, they may show an unusual interest in snakes or star names or may draw very detailed pictures.

Aliens. Time travelers. Espers. Need I say more?

Also, I'm starting to think Haruhi might be an otaku. Considering the reference to moe she makes in episode 1, the Manga-zines she pulls out of nowhere (also in episode 1), and all of her ridiculous outfits.

[XelaisPWN]

I always assumed she was. How the hell else would her head be full of tales of aliens, time travelers, and espers?

I can't communicate fine even when I'm given a topic I'm passionate about :s I do better on the internet, though xD
