Blue Man Group? Who would have thought that they would show up in a punning session in ZSZS.

BTW - The animation, particularly the character animation, seemed a bit weak this week - sort of "slew ani" <g>

Is it just me or they copyed the 'overprotective group' part from last ep?

Considering that this is the third time that they are doing the same thing, it's not surprising that some stuff feels "copied". (Sometimes too many sequels is not the best idea.)

I must admit that Matoi's clothes are amazingly drawn in this season.
Was i the only one who thought about Haruhi during festival scene and 'Catch and Release' phrase?
And my question after 5 episodes: where is Chie-sensei?! Some characters i'd like to see haven't appear yet ;_;

'Singing' Meru was hilarious!

meru singing rocks!

also i was disappointed, but i wanted to know what happened to abiru and why she was madly inlove with zetsubou-sensei (double anyway)...

also, leap students... new character has appeared! i'm not sure but it seems to be Miko Nezu.

Many people that appears in the OP never appeared in the actual show (much)
like Chie, and most male students like Haga and Aoyama.

I felt sick when Zetsubou Sensei said catch and release. That's a phrase that I dont want to hear for a long time. Otherwise, good episode. The drawing song keeps getting better and better, and the drawings themselves get more outrageous.

This third season is so full of Kumeta-sensei himself. He appeared in every episode so far, right? He (and maybe Shinbou) should do the Zetsubou-sensei Drawing Song for the last episode. :D

Also "Dropper in the Rye". Finally a title I know the original of. Now I feel much less stupid!

they did! My mind was in chaos trying to remember if I had seen that before. I think the producers were trying to do a "The Melancholy of Haruhi..." thing with the repeating scenes...freaky....

The one on the left looks like she's on drugs, kinda creepy. Ô.o

It's about time we get some new characters though. I still have no idea who Kino's two sidekicks are. -.-

The back-scratching segment was very well done, made me laugh a lot and the card game was awesome.

SZS -> social commentary LOL. Marvelous.

Everything else was just ok i think. Drawing song always delivers. 3.5/5.

Heh I was half-expecting cellphone tones during the drawing song, but the silence was probably better.....
And I could actually relate to the ignoring life-style, lol, whenever I see someone who looks like they need help carrying something, or people shouting at each other, I just walk right by and feign interest in my cellphone.....

Back-Scratching! That's it! I've been wondering for a while why I don't like other people recommending me Anime, that's it! As soon as they recommend it to me, I always think of that Anime as "That series is good!", which is why I'm not in the least motivated to watch it at all.

As great as this episode was, I think we need a proper introduction to some of the characters, considering they've been showing up more and more. I appreciate the element of randomness it adds, but if they're gonna be recurring characters they should be introduced properly (as Chiri would say).

i didnt understand at all the backscratching scene, but i still liked it for some reason.

anybody else think the random chiri-song was a nod to kanamemo? (ato, chiri hair-bow loli win)

Absolutely impossible. Anime are being planned faaaar far ahead and the animation process is also done a long time before it airs. There's about two weeks between that episode of Kanamemo and this of Zan SZS, they wouldn't just add a scene on such short notice.

Actually, I even think the Michael Jackson poster in the first episode was made before his death. It was probably just a (lucky is the wrong word here...) coincidence.

Episodes themselves need a lot of prior preparation, but small things like writing in a wall, images, posters and things like that could be altered or added in even at late stages.

Wasn't there a Haruhi-lookalike after Nozomu said that there might be leap people in the class? I like his coat, looks a bit like Dracula. Maria at the end of Backscratch was most likely from... well, some hunter-ish anime. Just how is ''Leap people cried/regrew hair'' helping Japan? x_X Leap == censor, haha.

Hey, you! This might never be answered but ill ask it anyway.

What was Koji actually referencing when he mentioned Episode 18 of samurai champloo?

i just watched the ep and there wasn't really any "whatever works" tones in it

It's clear that SHAFT didn't bother much with this season as far as art and continuity is concerned. I still watch it because it still contains some of the charm of SZS. But the previous seasons were much better.

I liked the random scene when Zetsubou bit the cute doggy's ear LOL
