Plot and setting
See also: List of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei characters

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei revolves around a very pessimistic high school teacher named Nozomu Itoshiki who, at the very beginning of the series, tries to hang himself on a sakura tree. Despite this effort of self-destruction, he is saved by an extremely optimistic girl known only as Ka***a Fuura (though in her effort to save his life, she almost kills him). She explains to him that it is simply unimaginable that he would 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?), and offers to pay him fifty yen to call him by that nickname. 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. Not only that, but Ka***a is just the tip of the iceberg: each and every student in his class represents a new personality quirk or bizarre obsession, posing challenges that the suicidally-inclined teacher must overcome in spite of himself.

Each chapter or episode of the series revolves around a particular aspect of life, Japanese culture, or a common phrase in the Japanese language. Typically, this involves the subject being taken either to its most logical extreme (a discussion of amakudari, the practice of "descending" from the public to the private sector, results in Nozomu "descending" until he reaches his previous life), or taken literally (in Nozomu's family, omiai, normally a meeting between a potential match in an arranged marriage, is instead a marriage concluded by eye-contact). On other occasions, Nozomu challenges his students to think about the negative aspects of something usually considered positive. These in-depth, off-kilter analyses (along with the reactions of the students according to their own personality quirks) are usually brought to a head with a punchline based on the overall premise, or more rarely, a non-sequitur gag or piece of fan service.

While ostensibly set in the present day relative to its original serialization, the manga utilizes a variety of aesthetic tropes that evoke the early-to-mid Shōwa period. This is exemplified by Nozomu and Matoi consistently wearing a kimono and hakama (an obsolete style of Japanese school uniforms in the late 1800s), but is also evident in stylistic choices such as the anachronistic appearance of architecture, vehicles, and technology such as televisions. Chapter title pages are drawn to resemble karuta cards, with an illustration in a silhouetted kiri-e style. Chapter titles are oblique references to literature, modified to suit the needs of the chapter. The anime carries this further through a washed-out, grainy visual style that mimics film, and frequent use of katakana (rather than hiragana) as okurigana. The anime also regularly refers to the date as though Emperor Hirohito were still alive, such that Heisei 20 (the twentieth year of Emperor Akihito's reign, or 2008 by the Gregorian calendar) becomes "Shōwa 83".

[edit] Manga

The manga series was created by Kōji Kumeta and was first serialized in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2005, published by Kodansha. As of January 2009, fifteen bound volumes have been released in Japan. The series has been licensed for an English-language translation by Del Rey Manga, with the first release scheduled for the spring of 2009.[4]

[edit] Anime

[edit] First series
See also: List of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei episodes

The anime series first aired in Japan on July 7, 2007 on TV Kanagawa and contains twelve episodes. Directed by Akiyuki Shinbo and animated by Shaft, the anime embellishes the story with abundant references to popular culture, mainly through the seemingly random thoughts that appear written on the chalkboard in classroom scenes (much like the series Pani Poni Dash! and Negima!?, also produced by Shaft and Shinbo). The anime is somewhat of a personal triumph for the often self-defeating Kumeta, as his previous manga have never been animated — most recently, his earlier work Katte ni Kaizo was scheduled for an anime release but was canceled before it aired. Each episode ends with a still image drawn by one of the manga artists associated with Kōji Kumeta.

A special fifty-minute DVD summary episode titled Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei Jo: Zetsubō Shōjo Senshū (さよなら絶望先生 序〜絶望少女撰集 ?, lit. "Goodbye, Mr. Despair Preface: Despair Girls Collection") was released on January 1, 2008. The DVD consists of seven parts, each of them featuring one of main heroines with several additions to the original TV broadcast version.[5] A twenty-minute version was aired as an outline summary on BS11 Digital on January 4, 2008.[6]

[edit] Music

Opening themes

1. "All Twisted Up Inside" (人として軸がぶれている ,Hito to shite Jiku ga Burete iru?) by Kenji Ohtsuki featuring Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yū Kobayashi, Miyuki Sawashiro and Ryōko Shintani (episodes 1–9, 12)
2. "Overbearing Dance, Yeah" (強引niマイYeah～ ,Gōin ni Mai Yeah~?) by Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yū Kobayashi, and Ryōko Shintani (episodes 10–11)

Ending theme

1. "Unparalleled Beauty" (絶世美人 ,Zessei Bijin?) by Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yū Kobayashi, and Ryōko Shintani

For the first three episodes, the opening animation consists of slides of text with the characters' names and the production staff. It also changes slightly, with each episode's opening having a special message roughly halfway through. The second opening animation, used in episodes four to nine, features a running Nozomu and several of the girls in various yuri and ******* poses. Episode ten debuted a third credits sequence, with a new song, and a note: "The opening was not changed because of complaints." The opening animation then changed back to the original title card sequence in the last episode.

[edit] Second series
See also: List of (Zoku) Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei episodes

In October 2007, Shōnen Magazine announced that a second season of the anime would air in January 2008.[7] The second season is titled (Zoku) Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (【俗・】さよなら絶望先生 ?) and began airing on January 5, 2008. There are thirteen episodes. The title of the second season is a pun as the kanji 俗 is a mark used in dictionaries to indicate slang or a vulgarity, and has the same pronunciation as 続, which means 'continuation'.

[edit] Music

Opening theme

1. "Daydream Rumba" (空想ルンバ ,Kūsō Runba?) by Kenji Ōtsuki featuring Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yū Kobayashi, Miyuki Sawashiro and Ryōko Shintani
2. "Lily Cure Go Go!" (リリキュアGOGO! ,Ririkyua GOGO!?) by Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue and Ryōko Shintani (episode 7)

Ending themes[2]

1. "Romance Romanesque" (恋路ロマネスク ,Koiji Romanesuku?) by Asuka Tanii, Asami Sanada, Miyuki Sawashiro, Yuko Goto and Miyu Matsuki (episodes 1–4)
2. "Marionette" (マリオネット ,Marionetto?) by Rolly featuring Asuka Tanii, Asami Sanada, Yuko Goto and Miyu Matsuki (episodes 5–12)
3. "Omamori" (オマモリ ?) by Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yu Kobayashi and Ryoko Shintani (episode 13)

For the first and second episodes, just like the first season, the opening animation consists of slides of text with the characters' names and the production staff. This opening sequence features picture postcards sent from viewers. The second opening animation began use in the third episode and features Nozomu freefalling from the sky in a parody of Eureka Seven, alongside various still images of anatomical muscle and skeletal figures based on Kaitai Shinsho, and featured fake film deterioration effects that were exaggerated throughout the season. There is no opening in the fourth and eleventh episode. The third opening sequence, "Lyricure Go Go!", was used in episode seven, and features Ka***a, Chiri and Meru in magical girl style. In the twelfth episode, the second opening animation was partially colorised, and the thirteenth episode used a full color version. The initial ending theme, "Romance Romanesque", was used from the first to fourth episode; the accompanying animation features idealised versions of the characters in a josei art style similar to that of Kiyo Kūjō or Aubrey Beardsley. The second ending theme, "Marionette", was used from the fifth to the twelfth episodes and the third ending theme, "Omamori", in the thirteenth episode; the accompanying animation is done in the style of Mike Mignola, in reference to Hellboy.

[edit] Third series

On July 8, 2008, the production of a third set of OVAs titled Goku: Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (獄・さよなら絶望先生 ?) was announced. The first volume was bundled with the limited edition of volume fifteen of the manga as a part of Kodansha's OAD Project and was released on October 17, 2008; the third volume will be released with volume sixteen of the manga on February 17, 2009.[3] The second volume was released as an original video animation on December 10, 2008.

[edit] Music

Opening theme

1. "Daydream Rumba" (空想ルンバ ,Kūsō Runba?) by Kenji Ōtsuki featuring Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yū Kobayashi, Miyuki Sawashiro and Ryōko Shintani (volumes 1 and 2)
2. "Daydream Rumba Rap" (空想ルンバ ,Kūsō Runba Rap?) by Kenji Ōtsuki featuring Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yū Kobayashi, Miyuki Sawashiro, Ryōko Shintani and Rapbit (volume 3)

Ending theme

1. "Marionette" (マリオネット ,Marionetto?) by Rolly featuring Asuka Tanii, Asami Sanada, Yuko Goto and Miyu Matsuki (volume 1)
2. "Omamori" (オマモリ ?) by Ai Nonaka, Marina Inoue, Yu Kobayashi and Ryoko Shintani (volumes 2 and 3)

The first two OVAs feature individual, more exaggerated and over-the-top versions of Zoku's opening sequence. They feature several additional effects, bizarre renditions of the characters and paper cut-out characters in a stop-motion style. The third opening uses a rap version of the opening theme, and is set around a circus, following the ending message of the second opening, "Even so, the circus will come for you". The ending of the first volume is modified to fit with the punchline of the final sequence of the episode. The ending of the second volume used the same minor modifications from the DVD version.
