The second half of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei's OVA begins with a full-length rendition of the show's opening theme (complete with suitably insane visuals) - Quite the treat in and of itself, but this only paves the way the usual blend of the bizarre and razor-sharp wit that this franchise offers.First up, we're introduced to the dysfunctional defibrillator, which can extend the lives of things

  WoW~ They were spitting references like crazy in the first part. Inoue Kikuko was also mentioned!! And Michael Jackson, but anyways~ I noticed Rozen Maiden, Clannad , Detective Conan, Tower of Druaga, Prince of Tennis and Hayate no Gotoku. That “Melancholy of Majiru” probably had something to do with Haruhi. Another reference: One of Majiru’s hopes was to [...]

After celebrating the return of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei to our screens last week, I've already well and truly settled into this series becoming one of the highlights of my week, and thankfully this second episode of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei truly didn't disappoint.The first topic under discussion this time around is the subject of people with multiple talents, and whether one of those

What does not fit in this image? Hint: He gives free candy. Selected Snapshots Impressions Someone seriously needs to remove that shovel from Chiri’s hands. She seems more creepy and yandere than strict and orderly. Definitely a shift from the two previous seasons. Somehow, Kafuka upped the cuteness level, especially with the magical girl transformation and singing on the [...]

Here on the cusp of Christmas, is there any better way to celebrate than with some more Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? Of course there isn't, which brings us untidily to the second instalment of the show's Goku OAV. Speaking of untidy, the animation for this particular episode is all over the place, but this being Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei that is, of course, deliberate, mimicking other popular

OP: “Kūsō Rumba (空想ルンバ)” by Kenji Ohtsuki and Zetsubō Shōjo-tachi - The same trippy stuff we got last time, with a few slight differences here and there. Summary: Chiri is alerted that Nozomu will be seeing her for a house visitation, but when he finally arrives at her house, Nozomu simply leaves after a glance. Chiri [...]

[ Episode 2: White at the End of the Tunnel ] How will despair affect two of Itoshiki’s students: Komori and Matoi? I absolutely loved this episode. I read the chapters last week and laughed so much. This episode managed to amplify that laughter by further fleshing out what I had already read. What I love about [...]

Episode 2 was just as good, if not better than episode 1. I actually laughed at a lot of it raw since I could get the basic gist of things. I only fear that it’ll become a bit formulaic. Once again, this episode also started with Itoshiki trying to kill himself, Kafka stepping in in [...]
