Daria 30 Day Challenge » Day 19:Favorite Season

Okay so this was a little tricky to decide. Seasons 4 and 5 obviously were not my favorites so that left me with seasons 1-3. So I counted how many episodes I love in each season and season 1 and 2 tied. So then I thought about it and really put some meaning behind a favorite season so I picked season 1 for several reasons. Obviously reason 1 because it’s the 1st! We meet all our favorite characters! Reason 2, Jane’s voice and attitude weren’t as “goofy” or super enthusiastic as it is in later seasons. Reason 3, you have awkward goofs such as in “The Invitation” Jodie looks almost bald and Tiffany Blum-Deckler is first heard with a valley girl accent instead of her trademark monotone voice. Another reason why this has to be my favorite because it was the first time we saw all of Daria’s quirks. At first you think she’s a cynical asshole, then you realize she’s not an asshole she just has very high beliefs, she has a weakness (trent) so she’s somewhat relatable, you figure out yes she’s a “brain” but she’s that way by choice and not to be some excellent student to get into the best college (opposite to Jodie) and in the last episode of the season, “The Misery Chick” we realize that Daria isn’t sad or miserable she’s just a realistic person and doesn’t feel the need to let the world know she isn’t miserable by smiling every second.
