Summary:
More crazy antics abound as Nozomu Itoshiki, a.k.a Zetsubo-sensei, who is the worlds most negative person, tries to teach class 2-H about how life is filled with despair and darkness. A harder task than it first may seem, with his students being far from ordinary themselves, including the likes of the most positive girl he has ever met, his very own stalker, a foreign exchange student with split personalities and a perfectionist acting class president, due to the fact the real class president can't be seen by anyone, among others.

Zetsubou no Sensei’s favourite exclamation, “I'm in despair!” echoes inside my head as I write this review and it still makes me laugh. The mock pessimism punctuates every hyper-rant and high speed social critique it spews forth in each episode. The show is riddled with puns and parodies presented by an assortment of hilariously stereotyped characters.
Despite the exaggerated humor, the show manages to balance its sardonic views with the underlying existential questions it asks. Just don’t expect a sane plot, its high point is in the dialogue and pointed references, though the art isn’t bad as well.
If you’re in the mood for a wicked laugh or a slight head-trip, this show is highly recommended!
