The Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei anime series aired in Japan between July 7 and Septemon TV Kanagawa and contains twelve episodes. See also: List of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei episodes The anime also regularly refers to the date as though Emperor Hirohito were still alive, such that Heisei 20 (the twentieth year of Emperor Akihito's reign, or 2008 by the Gregorian calendar) becomes "Shōwa 83". The anime carries this further through a washed-out, grainy visual style that mimics film, and frequent use of katakana (rather than hiragana) as okurigana. Chapter titles are oblique references to literature, modified to suit the needs of the chapter. Chapter title pages are drawn to resemble karuta cards, with an illustration in a silhouetted kiri-e style. However, the hair of women is typically short, which is a break from the feudal era and signifies the style of the Taishō period. This is exemplified by Nozomu and Matoi consistently wearing a kimono and hakama (an obsolete style of Japanese school uniforms in the late 1800s), but is also evident in stylistic choices such as the anachronistic appearance of architecture, vehicles, and technology such as televisions indicative of the Taishō period. Much of the aesthetics are themed from Taishō liberalism, Taishō Romanticism (see Japanese literature) and Taishō arts (see Hanshinkan Modernism). While ostensibly set in the present day relative to its original serialization, the manga uses a variety of aesthetic tropes that evoke the Taishō period, the relatively liberal period in Japan before militarism took over. These in-depth, off-kilter analyses (along with the reactions of the students according to their own personality quirks) are usually brought to a head with a punchline based on the overall premise, or more rarely, a non-sequitur gag or piece of fan service. On other occasions, Nozomu challenges his students to think about the negative aspects of something usually considered positive. Typically, this involves the subject being taken either to its most logical extreme (a discussion of amakudari, the practice of "descending" from the public to the private sector, results in Nozomu "descending" until he reaches his previous life), or taken literally (in Nozomu's family, omiai, normally a meeting between a potential match in an arranged marriage, is instead a marriage made official by eye-contact). Not only that, but Kafuka is just the tip of the iceberg: each and every student in his class represents a new personality quirk or bizarre obsession, posing challenges that the suicidally-inclined teacher must overcome in spite of himself.Įach chapter or episode of the series revolves around a particular aspect of life, Japanese culture, or a common phrase in the Japanese language. After having enough of the strange girl, Nozomu bolts to the school and starts his homeroom class, but the attempt to escape was in vain as he finds that the girl is one of his students.
She decides to nickname Nozomu "Pink Supervisor" ( 桃色係長 Momoiro Kakarichō ?), and offers to pay him fifty yen to call him by that nickname. She explains to him that it is simply unimaginable that he would hang himself on such a nice day, especially in front of such beautiful trees.
Despite his effort to end his life, he is saved by an extremely optimistic girl known only as Kafuka Fuura (though in her effort to save his life, she almost kills him). Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei revolves around a very pessimistic high school teacher named Nozomu Itoshiki who, at the very beginning of the series, tries to hang himself on a sakura tree.
