Lately, I've been watching
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei a.k.a So Long, Mr. Despair. It tells about a suicidal teacher named Nozumu Itoshiki and his class made up for social issue stereotypes (hikikomoris, stalkers, perfectionists, yaoi fangirls). While watching the actual first episode I thought it was just some show with a lot of hype behind it's back (Possibly a cult following) but as I stuck through the series, I found it to be one of the most intelligent, witty shows ever. It's sarcasm, dark and satirical humor is just AMAZING. There's actually one that is so spot on, it reminds me of Leah Dizon. XD The returnee blond student having to create a 'Japanese' personality was hilarious. Her other personality is crass and continuously talks about and compares her country to Japan. And lol the little girl who can only talk through e-mail and how she verbally abuses the whole class. Itoshiki-sensei apologizing to Okinawa for lot looking like Hayami Mocomichi and The net-idol who photoshops her pictures to look beautiful (which the otas worship btw). Man, I could go on forever and I'm not even through the whole second season.
Any show that makes fun of suicide, shut ins, pedophiles and the internet without looking so obnoxious and managing to be effing hilarious is pure, pure genius. Don't get me started on the anime references. There's also a Psycho shower parody where Itoshiki gets stabbed by random people, like Freddy Kruger, Rocky Balboa, Doraemon and LOL-- Haruhi Suzumiya. Seriously, the jokes are so abundant that you just laugh out load so randomly. I wish I could be this brutally honest ahahahahhaha.
I'm kind of in love with the 'genius storyteller' Jun Kudo who loves reading books. He's awfully cute. Kind of like my dream guy =)). His rival is Kuniya Kino. Both guys were named after Japan's biggest bookstores. ROFLMAO.
AND-- the openings are so twisted, fucked up and beautiful that I'm just floored by the awesome. The animation is A+++.
The first OP is amazing. It easily bests a lot of animes. Highschool girls bondage rope and kissing each other, Nozomu hanging himself with the MANGAKA'S FACE IN THE BACKGROUND.
I love the song. I love how they spoofed that Haruhi dance and Light's crucifix AHHAHAHA. Also, random pics of human intestines FTW. <3
This anime' teaches me so much about life. Seriously all the existential questions wrapped as a joke is loveeeee. The show still hasn't been licensed so go watch it on crunchyroll! @_@!
