Oh, speaking of animated gifs - There was a "shut up, newbie" graphic that someone made (I think it was Klinky) of a girl beating another girl over the head with two notebooks, from Azumanga Daioh - which was, no joke, what got me interested in seeing the series in the first place.
Even though I don't think I noticed that scene in the anime itself. (It might've been the teacher beating Osaka over the head, now that I think about it.)
Anyway, thanks, man. Probably the weirdest possible way to get a person hooked on an anime series, but there you have it. 8)
