Azumanga Daioh, ep. 01-05
My memory is terrible, so I'm not sure if there's any new content in the anime or not. But it's still about a group of girls going through high school and two of their teachers. There's not much plot, just random observations, the passing of seasons, and hanging out. It's so relaxing! It makes me happy!
The nice thing about the anime is that even though some of the shorts can be a little random, the grouping for most of them makes sense and gives the episodes more a narrative structure than the collected manga volumes. At least, that was my impression, given that I tend to notice anime episode breaks much more than I notice manga chapter breaks.
It's also great getting the characters animated; Yukari's voice was a little unexpected, as was Chiyo-chan's very high voice, but some of the humor is even better with animation and sound effects. Also, the anime seems to find its tone slightly faster than the manga; I remember being put off by breast jokes in the beginning. There are some in the episodes about swimming here, but somehow, the placement or the acting makes them feel less like jokes and more like high school girls gossiping and talking.
I ended up putting the rest at the top of my queue just because it makes me so happy! It's a little like visiting old friends again, even though I just read the manga a month ago.

And yes, Osaka is hilarious animated, and I'm glad we get to hear her accent instead of reading it as a sort of Godfather-ish accent.
