>What was your first concern at the beginning of production?
>Kanemaki: I wanted to destroy the expectations of those fans who thought it was going to be similar to Azumanga Daioh. So I wanted it to consist of 30-minute episodes, instead of a collection of short stories. Both the director and I agreed that we wanted it to be something truly original.
At first most Japanese otakus thought it's just a second Azumanga. 1 year after, PPD has really captivated our heart and we're having at least 1 PPD thread a day at Futaba. Hope my American friends are going to like it, too.
