Yes this is in general a question about her, I mean Osaka's attitude seems to shift alot in the anime, What is up with that? one minute she's smart, the next she's clueless, her sneeze sounds weak, and she ALWAYS falls asleep in class, and her hiccups usually stay with her whenever she tries spicy food, she's the first to loose to Chiyo-chan, she participates in a bread eating contest but loses, to me those events are quite unusual including the one where she is looking awake while she's actually asleep with knives to Wake Yukari-sensei while she was only suppose to get a pot and a spoon to wake her. So I ask you what could be the explanation to her VERY unusual attitude?

In some ways she is portrayed as the antithesis of the common Osakan stereotype of being loud, animated, and quite good with business dealings, but in other ways she is portrayed as the classic Osakan stereotype, being sort of uncultured and not very familiar with the "Tokyo lifestyle" and mannerisms.

Osaka is a person who likes to daydream, this is very funny
 She dazes out for exmaple spoiler[In the anime she says "Ahh...Theres worms(or something) in my eyes"]hehe this is the funny thing about this anime.

Speaking of Osaka-san, is it just me or can anyone else see the bubbles in their eyes like her?
Seriously, I know exactly what she's talking about. You can actually do this with your eyes open or closed. Try not to look at anything directly in front of you. If you control your vision enough, you'll see these really faint projections in the foreground closest to your eyes. I'm not sure how to really explain it beyond that... but she's not crazy, just so you know  .

I can. I've been able to do that for years now. I guess that is why she's my favorite character in the series. |

You mean like "floaters" in your eye? I have a few of those, but I think they're caused by some kind of scarring of the retina. With my eyes closed, if I squint incredibly hard, I can get all kind of fantastic (yet predictable) color designs (like a kaleidoscope) in my eyes. I've heard that's due to the ensuing change in blood circulation. If it's not any of those, then I'm not sure what you all are talking about. |

No, I'm pretty sure I haven't scarred my retina in any way  . Whatever this process is called, though, I just know that I've been able to see these "bubbles" since I was really young (about 5 or 6 years old, I think). It might also help if you're in a pitch black room and you stare straight into the darkness, but try not to imagine anything in your mind.
After a few seconds, the darkness might faintly look like those snow screens of bad reception you get on TVs. Personally, they look like a giant wall of tiny computer chips or metallic faces of that character "Destro" from G.I. Joe. I think they'll be traveling in a downward direction. This gave me a lot of sleeping trouble when I first discovered this ability. Please don't call me crazy  ...

Ha ha! I know exactly what you're talking about! They show up in the dark too, right? When I was little (5 or 6 years old), I had trouble falling asleep one night because of those colorful dots and went to my parents in tears, thinking they were some kind of monster that wouldn't go away even when I closed my eyes... 
I find Osaka's strange quirks and mannerisms endearing, actually. It adds a layer of dimension I think is lacking from some of the other characters. |

Nah, floaters are just clumps of cells inside the fluid in your eyes.
That, I'm fairly sure, is just your eye trying to deal with the lower light levels. I get that sometimes too. |

(Bear with me on this one.I call her Ayumu.Osaka is just where she's from.)
Granted,Ayumu IS spacy.But I also feel that girls like Tomo (and Miss Yukari as well) won't let her be herself and that's the trouble.That's why she's stuck with her hometown's name for a nickname. |

Really? I felt that the main characters in the series were wonderfully developed, truly unique characters. And when you get down to it, Azumanga Daioh is nothing but characters. I mean, it's pretty much plotless, whichever way you look at it. |
