THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Finally, I got GSZS from Amazon!
The OP animation was re-edited version of ZSZS's but the paper craft animations made it more chaotic!
Chapter 1 "Amai Hime" (Honey Trap)
Lol at Chiri's "Ah, that's the right atrium." The story of the C****** honey trap agent was sooo provocative. The corrupted Haruhi and Lucky Star were fatally toxic to my brain.
Chapter 2 "Hakkin Shou" (Off-air Battle)
Oh, Kubota-sensei...the Koudansha Manga Award was parodied again. Itoshiki-sensei was strengthening his neck! That's why he always fails to commit suicide.
Chapter 3 "Genkei no Tate" (Faithful to Original)
Chiri in Kiki's costume is so cute! The references of the costume players are...
Code Geass, Shigofumi, Spirited Away, Urusei Yatsura, Dragon Ball, Zero no Tsukaima,Ouran High etc. etc. Nozomu in "Southern Ice Hockey Club" style! HAHA, do not touch Kubota-sensei's hidden embarrassing history!

Is there lots of text to translate in this episode?

This series is awesome.

I actually had to stop after the OP just to laugh it out.

Also on several more occasions. Need to see subs because there was quite a bit of dialogue I didn't get.

Still bloody awesome

I wouldn't have thought they are going to make THAT obvious references to other anime, nah even Michael Jackson got featured. GSZS was exactly as I expected, just awesome.

I don't think there are a lot of other series that are as much to translate as SZS, even when this episode wasn't that much text as some in the previous seasons.

Things I learned from this episode:

- The term "honey trap" doesn't apply solely to Ouran High School Host Club.
- There exists no anime except those that KyoAni has produced.
- The fights before the ones aired on PPV are actually the best ones (boxing, MMA, whatever else).
- Needs MOAR cat stacking tournaments.
- Chiri's chocolates are the best.
- The OP animation just gets progressively more awesome as you add more to it.
- Krishna! Lakshmi! Ganesha! Shiva! Heart! By your Hindu deities combined I am in despair!

So yeah, it was pretty awesome. Plus the illustration at the end was greatness.

There were plenty of references to non KyoAni shows. Haruhi and Lucky Star are just currently the most popular ones that would pander to the "not interested in 3D" crowd that they were playfully mocking.

That might just be the best episode of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei I've ever seen. I was laughing my ass off at every single joke! The music was awesome, the animation was at the usual greatness level and Chiri was pretty much at her best. Anatomically correct chocolate heart? Sign me up for one of those :)

The Michael Jackson joke was hilarious :D

It was very, very fast though. I'll have to watch it again soon.

Zetsubou Sensei! How I've missed you!
The episode was good, I laughed out loud a few times.
I'm really glad they are still using the Kuusou Runba song for the OP :D
Well I hope the next 2 episodes are better!

The Higurashi Cosplay was cool. It was a blurred out photo but it was still recognizable.
Chiri's chocolate heart was incredible, as well as her "killing" Abiru off-screen. XD

Zetsubou Sensei is the only show where I need to take a break during the episode to catch my breath again, it's that awesome. >.<

Chiri looked adorable when she cosplayed as Kiki. that part with all the Otaku's using Halloween as an excuse to pull out their costumes was the only part that really had me in stitches though. The remaining 2 episodes should have twice the amount of Abiru, Komori and Rin than this one. D:

Comments made while watching:

-Japan vs. China, "Our Haruhi forgeries will block out the sun!" "Then we shall watch anime in the shade" (I know that didnt make any sense but Im not sure it was supposed to :D)

-Oh my Christ! First Haruhi and now Lucky Star! Are they allowed to do that? One would think that copyright issues would be involved unless of course its the same studio

-"You were here?" Has she ever not been there since halfway through season 1? Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

-Got to find out who cleans that school building? Nice and sparkly.

-Wow first time ive seen an Enya reference in an Anime.

-Oh come on Chiri finally goes crazy Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni style and they censor it? I blame 4kids! for no reason!

-Wow this episode sure has alot of references...Chiri as Kiki (Kiki's Delivery Service)

-Michael Jackson! Thriller!

-Itoshiki's lines are being outsourced to India!

Post Episode Comments:

Well the series is remaining true to its roots, random humor that is (usually) done right. Not the best anime by any means but honestly its not trying to be nor does it need to be. Its just good for a laugh and thats fine. Still Im kinda sad there are only going to be 3 episodes but then again it is kinda hard to write these kinds of episodes, or at least I would think that it would be. Nice episode.

I'm not sure if it's just my zetsubou withdrawal symptoms, but I couldn't get enough of this!

What's up with all these people stealing his line!

I wonder if there is an unseen forum topic that is much more awesome than this one...
