I saw the 1st episode of Azumanga Daioh, and I can safely say WTF???
There were two things I didn't get at all:
1.The little girl and her two cooking scenes. What the hell was that?
2. When those two girls are talking about how Sakaki-San is incredibly cool, a cat randomly shows up and one of the girls says she saw something cute. What was that?
Morality and ethical codes are only helpful because people are fairly dumb. One shouldn't need a sense of morals to realize that helping each other is the best way to ensure our survival. Meaning that people with friends have a better chance of survival than people without friends. And people with more friends have a better chance of survival than people with less friends.
I guess what I mean is that a sense of morals isn't superfluous, but perhaps it should be.
