Summary: Itoshiki Nozomu is the world's most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, "despair", when compressed. What an ironic twist of fate, then, that he becomes teacher to a class containing his precise opposite, the invincibly positive-minded Fuura Kafuka.

Anime has a sad shortage of good comedy. Too many series simply focus on slapstick comedy ("Haha, he got hit in the face!") or erotic comedy ("Haha, I can see her underwear!"). So, it's fantastic that Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei exists as an antidote to these types of shows.
SZS is mostly an episodic comedy that is both offensive and funny. In fact, it's offensively funny. If you're able to laugh at satire of serious social issues, you will definitely enjoy this. A few of the jokes involve Japanese puns/issues, but it is overall accessible for a global audience.
The happenings in this show are absurd and surreal and this is highlighted by the show's art style, which often shifts to something completely bizarre.
Overall, this is a hilarious series and if you enjoyed it, there are more seasons for you to watch.
