I know it's supposed to be humorous, but I just have never liked those censor pictures in anime. >< I'd really prefer something more natural, for example, if you want to cover nipples, have the girl be further in the water (so you can't see them), or have her hair cover them, something like that.

Never heard anything about this series, DL'd it just because I was still waiting for LS, LoveCom, and others. Boy was I surprised! I loved it. Very well done. looking forward to ep 2. At first I didn't know if the censorship was a gag by the subbers or if it was in the show. Didn't bother me too much though. I like how the face is always looking at the good parts...:P The combo of the chalkboard, music, and dialog was fantastic. And I thought I was just killin time.

The face is apparently that of the mangaka's assistant, known as Maeda-kun. He is a stock character in works by the mangaka (Kumeta Kouji) and has even appeared in someone else's manga. The idea of using his face to censor bits of a scene is new in the anime, however.
I didn't mind it. It was funny. But I didn't pay much attention to it, either. They may move on to something else later. At least once in a while, I kind of like this obvious way of censoring things, rather than the sneakier ways that are normal. I think it's part of Shinbou's wild style, and pretty artsy in itself. The information about Maeda-kun comes from this page in the Japanese wiki for the anime, which is a new part of the wiki for the manga. Thanks to a.f.k. for the sub, which made things a lot clearer for me, and made me like the show even more.

I'm...not getting the inside jokes. why would there be callback references to so many other shows but what I *assume* is the company/studio/director who does this one.
Don't laugh. I haven't seen Negima. I didn't like the animation and the review I heard of it made it sound like Tenchi Muyo without the option of enjoying it as a scifantasy and the fanservice turned WAAAAAY up. Anything important I missed? If I understand correctly this show is like the anti-negima/GTO/coolteacherreachesouttodiverseandtroubledstudentsg enre? |

I would also like to thank a.f.k for doing a great job subbing this series. Zetsubou Sensei seems to rely heavily on kanji wordplay and the sub made it easier to understand. I laughed out loud so much when:
Spoiler for Episode 1 joke:
Anyway, I hope that Itoshiki sensei will continue with his low self-esteem because it is too hilarious! It would also be great to see Itoshiki sensei actually become a good teacher in the end. Either way, I can sense that this series will be really special. (The manga won the Kodansha shounen award, afterall). Also, I am anticipating the release date for the OST and the ED song is great! |

Many thanks to a.f.k.
I also enjoyed the first episode of Zetsubou Sensei, although I was left feeling minorly depressed (lol). Yeah the joke Lunacy mentioned also made me laugh out loud, as well as the part when Spoiler for joke:
I'll be watching this series^^ |

I'm not sure what to think of the first episode. I've never seen anything quite like it before in an anime. I'm curious to see if they can keep the absurdist comedy coming. Definitely gonna watch future episodes.
