Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Watch Order Guide

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is truly a masterpiece that tells a story about a pessimistic teacher who wants to kill himself. While the topic like suicide as a comedy element may come out as offensive for some poeple, but for other’s, it shows a way on how to deal with hardship in life. The anime covers various problems in modern life and presents reasons on why you should die. Yes, you read it right. The main character often points out issues in working culture, but the supporting characters use the controversial topics as comedic relief and show us a way to view them from a different perspective.

Aside from cynicism, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei offers an amazing way of storytelling with its use of surreal art and jump cuts. The anime has short and lengthy debates over dumb and meaningful topics. The results from these debates are often interesting and sometimes just plain useless. Each episode of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is like a roller coaster and extremely fast-paced that it requires pausing the anime to grasp the ongoing scene. If you are into dark humour and open to art style which is not often seen in regular anime, then you should definitely checkout Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Synopsis: The story of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei follows Nozomu Itoshiki, a high school teacher who is always depressed and finds reasons to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the students at the school love Nozomu, and among the student is Kafuka Fuura, who acts as a beacon of hope for Nozomu. Kafuka is the most optimistic person you will find in the whole world. She tries to find even the smallest reason to overcome any despair.

Other than Kafuka, there many other girls in Nozomu’s class that are unusual and charming in their way. Two of them are Kiri Komori and Matoi Tsunetsuki. Kiri is a shut-in who ends up living inside the school after following Nozomu. Matoi is a stalker who ends up falling in love with Nozomu. While the girls are at the age where they find inspiration in their teachers, but for Nozomu, the students are giving him reasons to get motivated.
