So long, Mr. Despair

Status: Completed
Summary: Itoshiki Nozomu is the world's most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, "despair", when compressed. What an ironic twist of fate, then, that he becomes teacher to a class containing his precise opposite, the invincibly positive-minded Fuura Kafuka.

Anime has a sad shortage of good comedy. Too many series simply focus on slapstick comedy ("Haha, he got hit in the face!") or erotic comedy ("Haha, I can see her underwear!"). So, it's fantastic that Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei exists as an antidote to these types of shows.
SZS is mostly an episodic comedy that is both offensive and funny. In fact, it's offensively funny. If you're able to laugh at satire of serious social issues, you will definitely enjoy this. A few of the jokes involve Japanese puns/issues, but it is overall accessible for a (read more)

Like my title said, the story is different than other comedy anime. Most comedy anime in the days are using ecchi/harem, comedy. Because there are too many of this types of comedy anime.., it became typical. Don't be mistaken, i also like this this type of anime but sometimes, i'm sure we want to spend our time with something different right?

It might not be the best comedy anime but it's worth your time to spend with.

When watching this show I often ended up thinking of Mahou Sensei Negima!!. I'm sure this show was inspired from Negima. This show has no proper storyline. Other than the fact that sensei keeps trying to commit suicide. Despite that it makes for a really entertaining and funny show. The design for each of the Characters is so brilliantly made that you'll end up liking most of the characters. You have a crazy stalker, a polar opposite and extremely positive person, an exchange student with split personality, an extremely cute illegal immigrant and (read more)

I heard of this from a friend last year, so I gave it a shot. And WOW, I wanted to thank my friend for recommending this hilarious anime series!

The theme of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is more on satirical comedy about life and some little things [in Japan], though it sometimes pokes the fun in some other places like USA, and some stuff like mangas and events (though it's lampshaded or just implied.)

The series' dialogue is never tiring to hear, as they are so hilarious and very pun-ny (hehe!) to listen (which is why it's best to hear the audio (read more)
