Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

[risingstar3110]

The thing i found most hilarious in the OVA 1 is the fierce battle "behind the screen" between..

Spoiler for OVA:

.....Kiri Komori and Matoi Tsunetsuki
It's hilarious how Nozomu Itoshiki has just mentioned that in manga ^^

PS: So Abiru Kobushi can control her bandage, eh?

[nanafan]

I must say, the effort is appreciated and worthwhile, especially for a reference-laden series such as this. The explanations make it better. The detail on it reminds me of the effort exerted on the Kumetan wiki, which is a good thing.

Being able to crib from Kumetan has made my life far easier. Hopefully, I'll eventually replicate the breadth of knowledge, plus explain things that are non-obvious.

Can't wait to see the next episode.

Notes on the op, mostly Kumetan's work, are up at http://ggkthx.org/notes/gszs/szsop.html . Especially notable is the fourth second, second 58 of the episode, where individual cuts last an average of two frames each.

Some people did a really good job of the last series, so here's hoping they do this.

But even not understanding a word of it (well, not quite true. I did get the 'watashi no serifu' joke) it was still amazing. Not just a Haruhi spoof, but a chinese haruhi ripoff spoof. (if you don't know what I mean, just google 'chinese haruhi' and find out).

I had to pause and see how many characters I could spot in the cosplay scene during the halloween sequence. There are still plenty I missed.

As for the title sequence....!!!!

I love how they took that opportunity to bash China and cry foul about ripping off Japan when it was drawn by a MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT.

And rewatching the OAD again, the Shield of Veracity episode reminds me of Jumping the Shark. You put a good show like That 70s Show on for too long that they'll run out of ideas and get desperate for ratings so they try something something incredibly off tangent with the original premise.

Same goes for all the anime we're familiar with. I liked the idea of Bleach being some sort of ghost detective story but now it's pretty much about power levels.

Was the Ending a spoof of Harry Potter or something?

Based on the art, it looks like there's a continuation from the last episode. And Rin looked cute.

[kaisama]

Rin look cute, her hair is long O_o and I don't like censorship lol

Showing everything usualy is easy and cheap.
But hidding something led the viewer to use his head a little more.

I thought we just watched 'behind the scenes' - if you take off the censorship all you'll see is the producer arguing with marketing over the amount of flesh to show, fanboys strangling each other, Ikkyu-san going 'ariariari', and Mayo holding a very dented bat.
