Was that a Kenka Bancho reference at 18:20-180:30?

That was epic.

Lol, this episode is both interesting and hilarious at the same time. It's like I'm riding a thrill coaster. I was wondering what will happen to Zetsubou sense. Also, I was crackign up when the girl came and everyone was leaving already, lol so late.

Okay so I thought at first that the doctor was Zetsubou. I guess that was just his brother, lol. Also, his name is also unpleasant when you write it horizontally just like Zetsubou sensei, lol. Plus, I think he's also a negative person jsut like his brother. XD

I didn't expect the sensei to be rich. Also, that was an interesting way for an individual to get marriage. By eye contact and you'll be engage, lol. I loved how that Butler hired thugs to get Mr.Despair's eye contact, lol. Also, I loved how everyone ended up in the same place as Zetsubou sensei, lool.

Yay for Hikaru no Go reference. It was Sai ^^


That was the only reference I recognized out of the four on that scene. :(

This.

So we got Brother Despair, Death Brother and Peerless Sister. What a great family. LMAO

The two thugs making a close eye contact. ROFL

I don't know why no one mentioned the referee with red and white flag.

I think it's a reference to Samurai Showdown. They have the same referee. :D

Itoshiki Family naming sense is very funny ne~~ XD And Sensei younger sister is very beautiful and cute desu ne~~ <3 but her personality is......ughh =_= I think Itoshiki eldest bro is same face as Sensei and Death-san only their hair style is bit different.

Why not Sensei close his eyes during marriage ritual??? On top of that Komori appearing out of nowhere...hahahah :D

Just an okay episode 4/5

This show is hilarious, don't watch a lot of comedy shows. I still draw a blank on most of the anime references (like watching older more obscure stuff) but regardless its still funny. This show really makes fun of all the old anime clichés.

Nozomu has siblings and there's five of them?! They all have ironic names because of their family name. Ms. Peerless, Sir Despair and Dr. Death lmao
Associating any butler with Sebastian...I know that feel, Kafuka.

American beauty is really attractive with her short kimono for better imaging and those Marilyn Monroe style upskirts. The fierce voices are cute and hilarious too.

Those thugs getting married... That made my day xD Poor Normie Nami.

I sincerely want to see Hiroshi Kamiya's reaction for that Black Butler's reference (obviously because of his precious tomodachi, Daisuke Ono). Hahaha! This show's getting more insane, and can I marry you, sensei? Haha!

I loved the exposition dump about Sensei's island and the engagement ritual.

And guy marriage is not prohibited. Duh.

But what about girl marriage? I would love to get a scoop of how that happened.

Why not close your eyes tho?

The whole series makes no sense at times.

More optimism from Fuura please?

Seems that equality can allow you to develop a third eye.

This series is way dark.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

This anime is very funny. Having said that, I'm dropping it.

It makes me laugh but it's still not my cup of tea. It's not because it makes fun of suicide, it's because of the visuals that make me feel high.

What's up with that Maeda guy showing up in every episode? It's so annoying!

Also is SHAFT obligated to show the one-eye sign in every anime? Have they made a contract with the Illuminati? (I've seen the same symbols in Madoka & in Sangatsu no Lion)

That clairvoyance shit is demonic. Idc if you think it's funny, that character literally told us to open the eye of our spirit which is clearly something that deals with the occult.

In case you think I'm trolling, I'm not.
I wish I was joking.

By far one of my favorites. This episode introduced some of Itoshiki-sensei's family, which established that long-awaited character development that I thought would never surface. I mean, this is a dark humor gag anime we're talking about.

I loved the marriage ritual towards the second half of the episode. The rules behind it were crazy! Eye contact with anyone? Put me in the anime, I'd wanna compete for a chance to marry Itoshiki!

Pretty uninteresting episode. I liked it when they were in the classroom, but this feels out of place. Guessing that's a Hellsing reference at the end.

Man, Dr. Death was so funny. And the ritual, Sensei could've just close his eyes but it wouldn't be exciting if he did that.
