This. Is. Awesome.
I'm not in despair anymore. First part was great. Itoshiki, pyramid scheme con-man, misunderstood guy, action hero, girls' high teacher by accident. Has a problem with girls and lotuses. Then it's business as usual and normal girl finally gets her own segment. Great fun and absolutely creepy at certain parts (Kafuka...what the hell is she!?). The OP is in the same style as the much-loved "Bure Bure Bure Bure," while the ED is just plain snazzy with awesome shoujo emo art. And finally, what's all this talk about retconning? I've seen the DVD special and it feels to me more like a recap/reintroduction and showing some sides of the story not seen before (anal retentive girl's viewpoint on how she got to share Zetsubou Sensei's bed) and that's it. According to this thread it's just a minor time discontinuity or two... I guess I'm a n00b, but that doesn't seem like a problem to me! And if it was, well, SHAFT handled it well enough that I, who have no access to the source material, doesn't feel discontinued in the least. The part where they introduced Nami was made to seem like a flashback, which I think is the best way they handled it really. |

I just saw the 1st ep; did anyone notice that Nozomu's face looks slightly different from 1st season? he looked normal starting the Nami arc, though.
I loved the"ramba ramba", but I still miss "bure bure", and love it more. Both OP and ED are great, but not as creative and snazzy as the first season. PS. What is Kafuka's real name? I didn't catch it! |

Hei, we don't know even know what Kafuka's real personality is. In our last thread, there were already discussions on whether in reality this "super optimism" is only a facade while her real personality is completely twisted. Considering that she seems to be able to torture many people while acting regularly, there must be something weird brewing behind the scene. ("KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL can't be killed....")
