After filling in enough of the calendar, you unlock "Kimura’s Forbidden Tapes." These are 5-second audio clips of the teachers in the break room, revealing that Mr. Kimura is actually a normal, boring guy who just really, really loves high school architecture .

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to watch a fever dream gently folded into a yearbook, Azumanga Daioh is your answer. Based on Kiyohiko Azuma’s beloved four-panel manga, this anime follows six high school girls and two of their teachers over three chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt years.
