Uh... well... that was weird!

The first part didn't even have context and if it did, it would have been more stranger! The second one was even more stranger than the first! The third part wasn't as strange but it was nonetheless random. lol

I'm actually not sure about what I feel after watching this episode. I'm confused and lost with what I had just seen.

They didn't try to hide those dangerous political jokes... GOOD JOB! Do as you like, Shaft!
I was impressed by Kamiya's Zetsubou Fight. He handled those nonsense lines pretty well all by himself.

"Zetsubou Fight"is a parody of "Ultra Fight", which is a nonsense comedy show aired in 1970s in Japan.

Youtube
"Ultra Fight" itself is a self-parody of "Ultraman" series made by Tsuburaya Production.

That Zetsubou Fight segment at the end was brilliant. The monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Great episode, completely random, of course, but great. Chiri gave another stellar performance as a "proper ditz" after last weeks 50/50 greatness.

On a side note, the OP keeps getting better and better IMHO.

He didn't Zetsuboushita!, but he did Zetsumeishita!, which made me laugh really hard.

Ahhh, there many things that were awesome in this episode.

I'm enjoying this season more than the first...

I loved most of the episode including Maria's ironic nationalistic rant in front of the Prime Minister.

Maaan... First, we found out that she's Nozomu's neighbor who pretends to be a college student. Now, she gives Chiri-chan strange advice and shows that weird expression after she burns down the school. I don't think Kafuka's been this dark since the first episode when she joked about her father "trying to get taller". Chiri's been scary too, lately.



Heck, even Jinroku-sensei (the ex-yakuza teacher) and Zetsumei-sensei were shown in action.

BTW, that scene of Maria jumping from the window, staring at Nozomu's face while falling and disappearing after that, a parody of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex?

I'm a sucker for anything Ghost in the Shell so that Maria drop made me crack up. Maria lecturing the prime minister on Japan's problems = comedy gold. Although he looked like Koizumi which is a bit out of date. More fun can be made of his successor (apparently he quit because of really bad diarrhea, but dont quote me on that) or the successor of the successor. (who really likes manga apparently)

The dinosaur documentary type skits werent funny though, even though they managed to cram in a 2001 reference.

The successor to Koizumi quit because his party lost control of the Upper House and his popularity had plummeted after the suicide of one of his cabinet members. The race for his successor included a fierce nationalist, who was once caught reading Rozen Maiden at an airport, and a moderate who wanted reconciliation with the rest of Asia. The latter ended up winning.

Well not to derail the thread more than it already has been derailed, 'crippling diarrhea' was officially used as one of his excuses for unexpectedly resigning. Which brings me back to my point: Abe in the episode would have been funnier than Koizumi and more to date. Ah well.

I found this episode rather weak, it relied far too much on word jokes and puns. I hate it when Zetsubou does that. The 2001: a Space Odyssey reference made up for it though, together with the Lucky Star, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and Bleach ones. And did I hear someone say DECULTURE?

When do they ever actually learn anything in that class! The bit I cracked up at the most was the rainbow that appeared when Nozomu was bleeding. Don't ask me why, I just found it hilarious.

Chiri was absolutely hysterical as the ditz! That juxtaposition between how horrific the thing she just did was and how adorable she was when she went "aww shucks" cracked me up every time. Too bad I got like 5% of the references :(

First of all this episode was visually stunning. It was one inventive shot after the other in quick succession, I was in heaven.

Then I really liked all the segments. Zetsubou faito is probably some sentai reference, but I found the animation style enjoyable. Boke segment was so extreme, and that perfect punchline "natural boke aren't zoning out at all". And the inspection/ditz one was more straight forward fun.

Oh I thought I heard something familiar but it was just too different in the subs, didn't notice. So many jokes and references everywhere in this show, it's so rich <3.
