@Jayme: I’m looking forward to the second season but I’m hoping it takes a different tack. Since the whole class has been introduced, they’ll probably have to do something different. More of Itoshiki’s family, perhaps?

@intro: yeah, I could tell there was a lot in that scene that could’ve been said…I was surprised that anyone would dare make a comedy about suicide in the first place!

@IKnight: I know what you mean! There could be some truth to the island dwelling thing - hopefully I’ll be able to investigate first-hand later this year. I’m just waiting on my employer to give the go-ahead for my annual leave… *crosses fingers*

I know what you mean about apologising. Yesterday in the course of five minutes I apologised and was apologised to in the same conversation, and afterwards I realised that I’d used the exact same apologetic phrase in both cases - ’sorry’ in effect being used to apologise and receive apologies.

An American friend commented to me once that she thought the Japanese and the British were very similar. Now, while I’d say we’re very different, it’s interesting that from a third (American) perspective we seem to have shared traits. I think it was the politeness and the island-dwelling she was referring to . . .

I had my fingers crossed when Maria brought up the whole “countries playing the victim” thing, but it seems that it’s territory that even SZS can’t touch.

I enjoyed the finale, Especially with the references to it being a series and all. I can’t say it wasn’t odd and somethings didn’t drag but it’s as you said its not really out of the norm for a normal Zetsubou-Sensei episode. I thought the sleepover with all the students seemed quite weird, Reminded mind of Michael Jackson actually. It was cool to see some more of that Hikikomori girl, She was awesome.

The follow up series “Zoku” or something will hopefully still deliver all the lulz we need, Also for some reason, I think this second series will take a different approach to what the first took. It seems like something it would do.
