Sankaku Complex (link NSFW) is reporting a rumor that has started on the 2ch boards stating that a third season of ‘Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei’ will begin airing in July. The rumor has yet to be seconded by any official sources but the website has taken the liberty of tracking down every rumor started by this [...]

What a great way to start a Friday! I would be thrilled to death if there were really a new Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei anime in the works, as Sankaku Complex (close to, but not quite, NSFW) spreads rumors of. If you're not familiar with the basic idea of Zetsubou Sensei, check out my review of the manga's first volume, as released by Del Rey Manga. That said, it's also interesting to check out Sankaku's post, because they have a little chart of all the leaks that this particular 2ch source has offered and whether they've turned out to be correct (or are still unknown). I wasn't aware that all these rumors came from one source, like the one about new Haruhi episodes being mixed in with the old ones during the April rebroadcast. Turns out that everything from this source has come true or is unknown, with the exception that A Certain Scientific Railgun will be released in '09, not '10. Hmm!

Who knew that despair could be so much fun? For two series and now this OVA, the art of negativity has induced much hilarity and many, many smiles, but as ever all good things must come to an end, and thus this is really, officially, "sayonara" for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.This third and final episode of the show's OVA may be the end of the road for our favourite teacher with suicidal tendencies

OP: “Kūsō Rumba (空想ルンバ)” by Kenji Ohtsuki - Holy crap! I was expecting the change this time, but this was still probably the best revision yet. I loved the paper dolls, as well as all of the other frantic action. There were also guest vocals differing from the usual Zetsubou girls this time around. Summary: Nozomu [...]

Translator/blogger’s Introduction: I’ve started reading more Japanese blogs as of late so that I don’t have to rely on slanted, NWS English-language rss feeds for nerd news. Some of the aggregators I started keeping an eye out on link to regular folks’ blog posts, which led me to Tamagomagogohan, a blog run by Tamagomago-san. (ironically, [...]

  Only because it’s over. Impressions: Man, where’d these bloody OVAs come from today? Oh well, this was an excellent episode, so I’m not complaining. I was a little disappointed that the third and final part of this OVA series had none of the class in it, barring a loli Kafuka. It was strange to see [...]

Originally recorded on December 27, 2008.  Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is dark comedy about a high school teacher name Itoshiki Nozomu. He is a teacher that always get into despair and thinks about killing himself. In fact if his name is spelled horizontally it would be “despair”. One day, while trying to hang himself on a beautiful spring morning, an incredibly positive high school girl name Fuura Kafuka comes and save him from hanging himself. It’s later revealed that the teacher and Fuura are in the same homeroom. Each episode explores the different classmates and their weird lives.

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 [...]

  It is entirely too early in the morning to deal with Shaft. Impressions: I’m going to be blunt. Overall, I despised this episode, and it’s 100% the fault of the direction. There wasn’t any problem with the content or anything like that. The 1970s style for part 1 and the ultra shoujo style for part 3 were [...]

Sorry for the Math Terminology! Really, I think it's better to say that my interest in this Anime is sinusoidal. What I mean is that it's comedic moments are sinusoidal. Sorry for using mathematical terminology here, but it's the best way to describe my feelings for it. For example, I was really laughing hard on the first episode, but it was less funny in the second. On later episodes, I wasn't laughing or anything for the first 10 minutes, then laughed for 5 or so, and then silent for the rest. It's repetition of comedy just gets old (for example, the repetitious "I AM IN DESPAIR!!!" moments). It gets too oblivious to really laugh at, like what psgels said. I was really hoping for some more action with Pink Supervisor and Hikikomori (as she IS cute and such), but that didn't happen at all.

I don't know what the opposite of "Zetsubou shita!" is in Japanese, but if I did that's what I'd be shouting at the return of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, even if it's only in three episode OVA form. It's been a while Zetsubou Sensei, but boy am I glad your back. Indeed, never mind simply returning, this first episode of Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is nothing short of absolutely fantastic,
