Guest pikapika Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Goodbye Mr. Despair[Wikipedia]Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei (さよなら 絶望先生, Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei? lit. Goodbye, Despair Teacher) is a Japanese manga by Kōji Kumeta, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. It is a comedy about a teacher who takes all aspects of life, language and culture in the most negative light possible. In 2007, the manga received the thirty-first Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category, and was adapted into an anime.PlotSayonara Zetsubō Sensei revolves around a very pessimistic high school teacher named Nozomu Itoshiki who tries to hang himself on a cherry blossom tree. Despite his best efforts, he is saved by a very optimistic girl known as Kafuka Fūra (whose real name is unknown). She explains to him that it is simply unforgivable to hang himself on such a nice day, especially in front of such beautiful trees. She decides to nickname Nozomu "Pink Supervisor" (桃色係長, Momoiro Kakarichō?), offering to pay him fifty yen to do so. After having enough of the strange girl, Nozomu bolts to the school and starts his homeroom class, but the attempt to escape was in vain as he finds that the girl is one of his students.Volumes: 30 (Complete) http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=5433Published by: Kodansha (up to 14, discontinued)Anime Episodes: 1st Season: 12 + 2nd Season: 13 + 3rd Season: 13 + 2 OVAs---love love this anime~it's hilarious. definately recommend people to watch it. a little bit on the kinky side but its done in a tongue in cheek kind of way. my favorite character kaera kimura~she's so violated hahahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oceansportrait Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Haha, I haven't watched very much of this anime, but from what I've watched, it's very amusing XD I couldn't help but laugh while watching the first episode where the girl had mistakingly thought that every time her father was trying to hang himself, he was "stretching, trying to be taller" XD Overly optimistic, I'd say!
