----------------------------------------
This The feel of the series seems like a continuation of the first. The usual (random) visual techniques are still present and the jokes are either hits or misses. :D I'm glad to see that it hasn't changed much.

aikiyuki shinbou still manages to amaze me with the most random stuff that make my head twist in confusion.

oh god this is really amazing. really great begining.

Also the new girl (i forgot her name) is really awesome. She so reminds me of Kurumi from Pani Poni Dash (which was also directed by Shinbou)

Yeah, it's not a new girl. She didn't show up a lot in the 1st one though. The normal girl in the class.

First eight min or so confused the heck out of me! I'm really glad that they didn't change anything, I thought they changed everything when I was watching first bit.
Hopefully its going to be even better than first season, and include more episode with the two that were introduced at the very end(Mayo and Ai, especially Ai).
Killer OP song as well

SpoonSubs released the first ep about an hour ago.

Was a good episode, I like the OP and ED. Though I was kind of expecting something relating to the crash in episode 12 of season 1. Oh well, Chie-sensei still looks freaking amazing, looking forward to more.

I like the new op and ed as well but lacks in comparison to the first season. As for the episode, it was definitely a wtf for the first half. Loved the second half though. I'm glad they did Nami's intro. It was awesome seeing Kiri did what she did to her.

a.f.k released the first episode too, just after I watched SpoonSubs though.
To be honest I thought it was pretty boring, the new op and ed weren't even close to being as good as the first season's either.

I think you are wrong about both opening and ending.Espesially the ending is so cool in an weird way the art is sick i loved it and the feeling is so close to the darkmood zetsubou sensei has for me its awesome and i would love to see SZS being more dark sarcastic and blackhumorous:P.Just give them time and they will grow inside you!!!

Just watched it. As I said in the thread asking for subs.

Really weird (as usual) and a little scary kind of.

The new op is nice however the song doesn't end that well, it's like they just cut to silence suddenly.

I would prefer the ed to use the same art style as the rest of the show for the characters.

I greatly prefer the new ED. First OP is still best though.

LOL at animating the fake intro on the volume 1 cover flap. Totally unexpected. Also glad they did Nami's intro chapter. I was wondering why they didn't do it the first season.

Edit: I also lol'd for fanart in the OP.

Very unexpected, but a nice surprise. I thought SHAFT would do this in the first episode of Season 1 (the fake intro), because at that time I thought it was the real intro. xD

New ED is better than the first. New OP is good, but nowhere as good as the first one. I'm betting that proper animation will be added to the OP in a couple episodes time.

Seeing Nami's intro animated was a good move; it reintroduces the old characters, but not is some crappy recap way. The overall dark tone of the episode was also interesting.

The episode was great, the first half was really random XD but I liked it :P

Previous OP and ED were a lot better than the new ones.

I like the old OP and ED better, but these are still good. It's hard to live up to last season's to be honest, and this is coming from someone who really doesn't give a damn about anime OPs and EDs. The episode itself was hilarious. Fuura's creepy song was the best part XD

I liked the ep, though I was shocked to see the beginning from the volume cover of the manga animated. xD I think the OP and ED of the first season were better, but the new OP and ED do not sound bad either after listening to them a few times.

It was an ok episode, I thought it was a bit slow because they kind of had to re-introduce the characters.

The baby legs in the ceiling was hilarious.

Awesome.

I didn't enjoy a lot of the first season... basically, any of the episodes where they weren't introducing any characters. This episode seemed like a return to glory for me. Sieg HAMASHO!

That's because it was a flashback to when she first joined the class (at least I think).

The new ED is awesome, made doubly awesome by the fact that the seiyuus for tsunetsuki, kiri, abiru, and harumi sing it (shocking to me because we don't have many actors that can also sing in the US).

I think Kiri talks more in this episode than she does in all of season one. All she said last season was "ikenaide!"

Awesome, more SZS. I liked both the OP and ED. its very eccentric, like the ones in the first season. even though I was expecting some continuity from the 1st season, I like this slight rehash. for an episode that focused on the normal girl (lol), I found it pretty hilarious.

BTW, I loved the One Piece reference.

there was alot of WTF momentsXD

The animation seems a little different, but still nice~

As far as comedy goes~ because most of it was a "Summary Episode" of all the odd ball characteristics I still can't make a prediction about whether I like it or not~ but it was an enjoyable first episode at least^.^

I really enjoyed this episode <3
I think it's better than the middle of the first season was x3
and I like the new opening, because it's alike the first opening from the first season. The second opening from the first season was nothing special, so I'm glad about the opening the way it is ^-^
nyah...ah and I like the ending xD the animation is really nice :D and the style doesn't really fit to the rest of the series XD at the last scene I didn't recognize Nozomu first but thought it's a girl...xD

you guys need to stop comparing it to the first season. this episode is a GREAT continuation of the first season. you can barely even tell it's a second season! I can't wait for themto give the opening a real animation. hopefully itll be a good one like the first one, and show up with a bunch of parodies on niconico :P (i love the SZS op parodies on niconico)

anyway, the art just is amazing, and i really never can get over how good the art is. I thought it was great how they finally gave some background to nami. the first part of the episode was defenitely "wtf" but thats pretty much what SZS is. gotta love the "fake marriage" deal. lol

Stalker girl = ghost... hahaa. great stuff. they did a great job of "recapping" what the story was without making the viewers who had watched the first season bored =)

and the ending animation was just awesome. soo cool =)

This episode really confused me for a few reasons. First of all, there was no mention to the ending of the first season whatsoever. Where'd the whole bit with the accident go? Hopefully they get back to that in the second episode, and don't just pretend like it never happened.

Then something else that really confused me was that they called it a girl's school in the first part of the episode. But what about that boy that nobody ever notices? He had his episode a while back.

The second half of the episode was great though, and I would have really enjoyed it if I hadn't been wondering so much about the continuity.

That first part is just a made up story that is on the cover of the first volume of the manga (I think). It has no connection what so ever with the real show and therefore the school can be different.

If it weren't for the fact that there are other male students besides Usui, you might say it's just because nobody notices that he's a guy because they don't notice him.

The ED character design is done by the mangaka who did the Trinity Blood manga, I was keep guessing where the hell I saw this kind of character design when the show playing the ED.

Then I sudden look to the Trinity Blood manga by my side, and scream WOW
