Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei


Not so long ago, I started to pick up on a new anime. It's called Sayornara Zetsubou Sensai (bye bye, teacher of despair). This anime cracked me up.

The plot is about a teacher who always think in negative terms, but will meet a student that is not capable of seeing things negatively, but will only be able to see things in a positive way.

Not only is this all brought in a hilarious way, but lots of small details in the anime actually makes it kind of fun. For example how all names are composed. The teacher's name is actually suppose to be ito shiki nozomu (hope). But when you take put the first two chars together, it the name will change into zetsubou, which means despair. And there's a girl called Meru (that's how japanese people speak out mail). Meru is the girl that only communicates with others thru text messages. Actually all the characters have a funny name.

Anyway, i would definitely recommend this anime to any1 who is reading this. Not only does it display that all negatives can be brought into a positive light (in a very extreme way), but it also tells us that we should never think thinks too extremes :).
