That's it the last episode was translated and it was great.
Though I am a little disapointed that they ignored the end of episode 11.

The last episode was great, but they ignored episode 11 AND it didn't have an "ending" feeling (even if there's a new season coming up really soon, they should have concluded this one).

Anyway lots of references XD Yaranaika, FMA, and even Gurren Lagann!

Good thing there's another season coming out. This would've been a pretty bad ending otherwise. Maybe the story will pick up in S2. Or not.

I believe that the despaired sensei recovered in that Mount Fuji scene at the very beginning of the episode. That, and the dynamite on his face was good medicine.

Overall, it was an ok episode. Nothing really outstanding, other than that Tsundere quote from Maria. That was hilarious. Everything she said in this episode was funny, though there wasn't much of her.

In the end, I thought the first few episodes of SZS were outstanding, but SHAFT started running out of steam in the last few episodes (7, 10 and 12), though 11 was really good. Hoping that the second season gets back some of the comedy gold from Episodes 1-6.

8/10

omg i soo missed those doujins!!! i wouldnt be surprised if the baseball one is ookiku furikabutte. it looks just like it... haha. ohman, fma haha.

this episode was good, i didnt like the whole "shes not the villian" second half though. it was overdone a little bit. i wish afk were quicker with their subs, i wanted to read the blackboard and other background stuff so bad D= i'll defenitely have to rewatch it when AFK releases it.

but for now .... ZESTUBOUSHITA....(until the second season at least)

I thought the same thing in the back of my mind, but I was still hoping to get at least a silly explanation, like his suicide kit saved his life by protecting his vital organs or something to that extent. Either way, I think it wouldv'e been much better if they had switched episodes 11 and 12 so you'd get a true cliffhanger ;-)

Given the color of the uniform and the popularity of the show, it is almost definitely Ookiku.

I LOL'd at Yaranaika.

I can't wait for second season. Last half of the show wasn't as funny. I just didn't feel the biting wit. I got a little of the beginning vibe in the first half of this episode about the Japanese being too courteous, especially the tangent about the soccer team, and about not going to the bathroom in the middle night to try not to disturb the neighbors. The second half was too random. Also, why did they switch back to the old intro all of a sudden?

Quite a boring episode since they stretched out the guilt and evidence skits way to long even if they were pretty decent. Can't wait until next season, hopefully subs are released at regular intervals so we don't have to wait over a month just to see the last episode causing us to forget what's happening...

My assumption was, based on the fact that they went back to the first opening, was that it was supposed to be viewed like a lost/out-of-order episode rather than a season finale. ^_^; At least, I'm going to keep thinking so until season 2 comes out. It would be lame to just skip over the fact that the overly suicidal sensei may have been accidentally killed.

But like most people already said, pretty average episode. The doujin covers cracked me up though. I completely missed the TTGL one...

best moment was the stick in the dog, the timing on that was perfect
the twister moment with komori and chie is close second.

Personally I didn't like it that much, this last episode didn't really feel like it completed the series at all. I doubt I'll watch the second season unless if I get really bored.

Well, even if the last half of the series wasn't as funny as the first one, I still liked it. And want to watch the second season, let's see how many episodes a.f.k. has subbed.

I'm part of those who is a bit disappointed by the fact that they didn't continue from the cliffhanger from episode 11. Oh, well, I guess I should have expected it.

From now on... I'm gonna judge by appearances! =p

I agree with most people said, I liked it-you have your standard (?) SZS type of humor, of course-but it wasn't really much of a satisfying ending. I should've known they wouldn't have continued the ending of 11, to be random, even if I wanted them to. Damn cliffhangers. But I admit the jokes had some pretty good premises, the guilt complex was amsuing, as was the satire used with mean-eyes girl. However, it seemed to have its place more so in some of the earlier or middle episodes where you have all the intros to the zany characters, rather than at the ending. I agree with an earlier comment, episodes 11 & 12 seem better switched...besides, the cliffhanger from 11 seems like a good gimmick for viewers to watch the second season, anyways. :P

Damn, they got me all anxious over that cliffhanger for nothing! Argh! Still, at least Nozomu is okay. I don't think they ignored it, that small part at the beginning looked like a recovery process. But anticlimax often goes hand in hand with black comedy and satire, so I'll let it slide!

I thought the guilt complex thing was funny, but the 'innocence' complex thing topped it! The evidence is so perfect they couldn't have done it? Isn't that how OJ walked free? ;)
