I discovered Daria when I was in kindergarten. When I was about 5 years old, I would watch The N (now teen nick) in the middle of the night while my parents and two sisters were asleep. I would only watch The N because I was waiting for noggin to come on at 6am. Hence, that’s how I discovered Daria. Although I had no comprehension of Daria at the time, I didn’t know it was not for kids until I got a little older. The older I got, the better I understand Daria.
I adore Daria because it is probably the single best representation of being a certain type of person that a lot of people feel they are like. That alternative, smart, introverted weirdo. Many things TRY to capture and portray that but they never have the insight to, except for Daria. Specifically while Daria is smart and insightful in ways others aren't, the show doesn't pretend that shes perfect. Showing the personal problems and negatives of this type of person is really why Daria shines. Not to mention how hilarious it is. I've watched the whole thing about 4-5 times.
Best episode is hard to pick because there were so many good ones. But generally I liked any episode that dealt with deeper level problems instead of basic ones, like going to the special advanced school or why Daria and TRent could never work.

I was deep in the Daria fandom from last October to late April of this year.
TBH, I could never get into the show. Being in the private system most of my life kinda botched my perspective. (Also, despite having high functioning autism, I spent my middle school years in a special needs school full of violent, deranged, perverted, and literally evil people. I've seen lot's of attempted murders. Like, fear for your life and mind on a daily basis kinda bad. Fucks a person up. Daria reminds me too much of the surface level persona of that one 130 IQ psychopath who had me around his fingers for a few years, I wish not to remember that)
I watched more House M.D. when I was in the Daria fandom then actual Daria.
Fanfics were good though. That fandom has it's shit together, they inspired me to start this thing, why do you think we use that logo motif?

I'm really interested to see how the reboot might work. IT says that Jodie will be a main character, and the girls are in their 30s now. Could be great if its bojack horseman style.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. Finally, a good move from MTV. Now all they need to do is bring back Clone High and their in business.
But I'm out of the game when it comes to the Daria fandom, atleast for now. It was getting too complicated, I stayed in the Kerbal forum for a week, then I come here and meet you fine people. Still, if I had to make a Top 10 best fics of all time, atleast 2 Daria fics would make the list.

I'd love if theyd make a Daria styled show, like a sequel but with new characters, for a character growing up in modern times. Thats why Daria was so beloved, because she captured the time period.

That could help. Biggest problem is Daria wouldn't be nearly as much of an outcast these days. People like her are not uncommon on the internet.
Also, still wouldn't help me relate much. My middle school was a hell few have felt, and my high school will always be heavenly in comparison
I'm all for coming back with a modern twist to the show, but I dont feel Jodie is a strong enough character to be a main character.
She and Daria weren't as dynamic as Daria and Jane.
I guess we'll see.
Yeah but the characters will have changed after so long. Also Jodie seemed fine for what we got of her, she just wasn't a main main character. And I assume Jane will be a side character. I can't imagine her not being there regularly.
