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.

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 in Japanese; If it in English, you'll never get the pun [no PUN intended, haha,]!).

Animation is done by SHAFT, so you would expect some abstract going on in the series, most precisely the openings and endings (Be sure to check out the 1st OP!). While the art style from the original manga is still there, the animation shows more details, making the whole thing eye-catching.

And please, if you cannot get the entertainment Nozomu-sensei and his class gives... I'LL BE IN DESPAIR! (Okay, cut it out.) Seriously, you will never get bored when watching one episode. It never gets tiring to watch all over again, because of each characters' quirkiness, and how they "debate" and "explain" over things.

ZETSUBOUSHITA!!!
