+====== /azu/ - Azumanga ======
+[{{ :img:temp:azu-banner.png|An accurate way to view /azu/}}]
+**/azu/** is an imageboard dedicated to //Azumanga Daioh//, that being a manga and anime series.((:fn:>//Azumanga Daioh// was pretty popular on SomethingAwful and [[lb:4chan]] back in the day. It remains popular with so-called ‘oldfags’.)) However, the site also allowed content related to //Yotsubato//, since that was made by the same author as Azu.\\  The board has been around for a long time, and it's mentioned semi-frequently among chanverse enthusiasts.\\  Sometime in March of 2023 ((:fn:>It was still online around the 13th of March, which was when I last checked; it is the 24th as of writing this, and the site is no longer accessible.)) the board went offline. Sometime around August 2023, /azu/ returned.((:ref:>[[https://4-ch.net/iaa/kareha.pl/1439333638/287|I'm an imageboard and online communities otaku – >>287]]))\\  This is only mentioned because I previously declared the board **dead**. But it is //not// dead, it **lives**.

+===== Board impressions =====
+[{{img:temp:azu-front.png?200 |/AZU/ in the flesh}}]
+/azu/'s community appears to be pretty nice, which gives the board an overall relaxing feel.\\  It's a pretty slow board, being slower than [[lb:Channel4]], which isn't all that surprising considering the topic is niche.\\
+This impression is from 2024 and I haven't looked at it more recently.
+===== Idlechan connection =====
+/azu/ wasn't originally part of the iichan/Wakachan coalitions, but was part of the short revival ‘Idlechan’, which wasn't actually a coalition.\\  Despite this, I was told that /azu/ was apparently hosted on Wakachan. I haven't pursued the subject further, so I don't really know what this means, nor have I confirmed it.

+  * I found it while looking through [[https://4-ch.net/iaa/kareha.pl/1439333638/l50|this thread]]
+  * I had missed /azu/'s revival and wasn't aware of it until March 2024, which I became somewhat embarrassed about.((:fn:>Especially since I was the only one among the personal wikis I'm aware of who had an article on /azu/.)) Honestly, I had just assumed it died and wouldn't return.
+    * Previously, there was a note about how I wasn't particularly sad about /azu/'s death compared to [[lb:Kazamatsuri]]. This is because I don't know anything about Azumanga. However, that note is now pointless.
+  * By the way I watched Azumanga and it was...okay. I liked it, but not enough to continue it.
