    • ]]>     Hailed as the revenge of Shinbo, the mind behind Pani Poni Dash and the new Negima?! series, Sayanora Zetsubou Sensei (or Goodbye, Despair Teacher for the translation or さよなら 絶望先生 in Japanese) is another great series in his styling. However, once again, his curse falls upon yet another series. A.F.K fansubs who had been subbing the series has paused it and put it on the back burner while they finish the otaku driven Lucky Star.

    Now, Pani Poni Dash took forever to get subbed and the final episodes which were subbed by GG in the underground were slowly released and very few people even knew about them. Negima?! wasn’t even finished by a fansub group yet and it came out a year or so ago. Will Despair Teacher get the same treatment? Hopefully not, but there is a good reason should it not.

    The humor in these type of shows are usually driven only towards the most diehard gaijin otaku. Meaning, of course, that by not living in Japan you usually won’t “get” most of the humor. Of course, Despair Teacher is humorous by itself unlike Pani Poni Dash which needed explanations for everything. Still, there isn’t that big of an audience. Fansubbers are known for only wanting to pickup series they know will bring them users to their irc channel.

    Hopefully though A.F.K. will pick this fantastic series back up when they get ahead enough with Lucky Star. Until then though, we can only hope Shinbo’s curse doesn’t get the best of this series.

    • ]]>     Did you like Welcome to the NHK? Did you like Pani Poni Dash? How about Great Teacher Onizuka. Imagine these three anime mixed into one bowl and poured into the mold that is “Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei”. It’s a dark, mysterious anime that is lighthearted. That sentence makes no sense but it’s a pretty accurate summary.

    Go research then watch. Go on! Hurry! Good anime late in the season awaits you.
