Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

[Pixelation]

YAY! A whole third season is coming! I rarely watch a series as it's coming out but I'll be waiting impatiently for every episode of this one.

*Does the Happy Dance*

Or maybe the Despair Dance is more appropriate?

The Hemp Fandango, maybe?

That's entirely of the wrong stripe, or at least the wrong state of mind. May I suggest "The Matango"?

So, you decided to take the series that takes nearly one month for every chapter to get translated?

*ignore the above comment if you know japanese

Yup. The translation time could be a pain, but it can't be helped since my grasp of Japanese is abysmal. It's not like I can't attack my pile of backlogged anime while I wait...

if a.f.i.k. is subbing this again then HELL YA.

I just recently got bit by the sensei bug, NOW IM TOTTALLY IN DESPAIR!! I love how the show evolved, I have a feeling they had a lot of anime original work in it. I was surprised at Hiroshi Kamiya's performance, excellent.

[ellifeedn]

I don't think a.f.k. will sub this. No explanation, just a feeling.

I just hope we don't wind up with a Zoku SZS scenario. volans did a good job though, IMO.

I'm really starting to like Hiroshi Kamiya as a voice actor. His Natsume (from Natsume Yuujinchou) is very good too.

[solomon]

Aye, I hope they come back, they're translation is so rich and much more entertaining in word choice and interpretation than some of the others I read. Not to mention I always give people props when they translate credits.

As fer Kamiya's performance...yea it's "normal"

[ClockWorkAngel]

Beware, the "Zan" is the great foreshadowing of incredible character development and a shift from dark humour... to [first volume reference] the ultimate human drama! [/first volume reference]

[ellifeedn]

What does "Zan" mean? All I know is is that it's not "Zen".

Here, was answered on an earlier page.

[qmeister]

A full explanation:

Zan (ざん) is a play on San (さん) which is 三, 'third', in this case the kanji used (懺) indicates regret or repentance.

This follows from Zoku which can mean 続 - continuation, or 俗 - mundane.

[gsilver]

Hmm... I'm not sure what to think. SZS was starting to grow old during the second season, and Goku didn't really do anything to make it fresh again.

If they go a new direction this time, it may be good, but I probably wouldn't watch a more-of-the-same continuation.

[solomon]

I can understand why you would say that.

It's like Seinfeld, at the beginning it's lauded for being totally unique and varied but after a while it creates it's own unique little formula that while still potentially entertaining is totally familiar to the audience.

[Midonin]

The website updated with the singers for the OP/ED, and the title for at least the OP. Just as it was back in Zoku, it's Kenji Ootsuki and the group of Kafuka/Chiri/Kaere/Maria/Nami on the OP and the group of Abiru/Harumi/Kiri/Matoi on the ED.

[ellifeedn]

I always like Zetsubō Shōjotachi songs. I wonder what these news songs have to offer.



Off-topic: I took a look at the cover of volume 16. Does anyone know who the featured girl is?

[sirn]

Opening theme: "Ringo mo gire Beam" (林檎もぎれビーム！)

Er, what the hell is this song name? First season is Ero, second season is Guro, looks like the third season will be Nonsense!

[Midonin]

The ED theme has been confirmed to be called "Zetsubou Restaurant". With a title like that, I have some idea of what to expect for ending animation ("some" - this is Shaft/Shinbo we're talking about here) and no idea what to expect for the song.

Still, I say, bring it.

[White Manju Bun]

OP, just the song, not great qual Edit: Ive been corrected this isnt the OP, but its still cool.
