Zoku Sayonara Sensei Episode 2

Episode two starts off crazier than the first one. While this one is still set int he class room it’s spoken entirely in gibberish for the first five or so minutes. Some guy who apparently looks like an ‘Admiral Perry’ or at least that’s what Kafuka says, but when is she accurate about anything? So he storms through the school opening things. Lockers… doors, Komori’s hair… among other things. He then goes to the pool and we’re forced to see this guy in a speedo. Not amusing… what was amusing is someone other than Itoshiki-sensei did the whole black and white look left face right thing he always does before yelling ZETSUBOU SHITA! Of course it had little to do with anything.

Second storyline consisted of Itoshiki-sensei being on the verge of celebrating some holiday according to the old calendar. Which of course gets carried off on a tangent about old this old that, the part of the episode even takes place int he old school building which is now a beach… Where they’re visited by one of his old friends… and they begin a quest to get his old friend an old name. Throughout the episode random things happen. A soldier will crawl across the background on his elbows… you know like they always go under the barbed wire thing in those military training camps on tv… Or a tank speeds through the area, for no real reason at all. He only tried to hang himself once this entire episode… either the show is slipping or they got tired of that joke. Seems i forgot to bring up the other mini story about over embellishment. They go into a little escapade where Kafuka awards trophies for ‘master of chic’ whatever that means. Really she gives them to people who go way over board on things. Doggie sweaters… which are stupid in my opinion, taken to the extreme the dogs wearing more clothes than most people… stuff like that. I only recalled it earlier this morning as the other two were far more impressionable. n_n;

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OP video.

Because two posts in the same day isn’t enough. And because I think the songs awesome. Seriously I’m head banging and air drumming.

Three at once!

I fully intend to cover three separate shows in this post.

 Rosario + Vampire 

(Rosario and Vampire)

I had no idea what was going to happen with this show. Someo one I talk to on a forum a lot said that I should watch this as it would ‘restore my faith in Area Eleven’. I’d been wondering what happened to their spine since they censored Kodomo no Jikan and well Spice and Wolf is ‘censored’ but not the same degree. I’ll agree that it did asI have a screen shot I decided not to post because of what it could be mistaken for.   that said here’s the one’s I’m going to show you.

In case you can’t tell she’s biting him… she’s a vampire after all. Complete with cute biting sound effect. This show is just, whoa. The base storyline through episode one is our hero Aono Tsukune flunked school or he’d been sent to an all boys school. I’m a little vague on that deal as his mother says one thing but the flashback says another. ether way his father, who is very drunk, whips out a school application that some priest dropped. To make the rest of the story a little shorter he winds up at a bus stop that’s dressed liek a scare crow overlooking a lake of what appears to be blood. Enter Akashiya Moka, our pink haired vampire. She runs into him, literally, on her bike, okay more like with her bike. He winds up bleeding and she goes chomp… then apologizes. The school he’s to be attending now is a school for monsters, as if the name Youkai High school didn’t give that away. So he’s in serious trouble and the vampire performs a panty shot every fourteen second… and well it just improves from there without going for the outright nudity. He’ll be okay for a while though since the students are learning to blend with humans, as such they have to stay in human form and aren’t allowed to tell each other what their true form is. Of course there’s always some orcish brute who doesn’t give a frak about the rules. Oddly enough she refers to herself as a vampire instead of kyuuketsuki…

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 

(Goodbye Mr. Despair Extreme)

Season two of Zetsubou Sensei, just as whacked out as season one. Just as dark, just as hilarious. The beginning starts a good five minutes before the new OP, which is great. (rumba rumba rumba) It has absolutely nothing to do with anything though. In case you get worried they started some new storyline or something.

the actual episode starts with the only normal student in the class trying to force some sort of problem on herself so she fits in. Or more to the point, everyone worries about her. There’s a great joke involving her and Kiri Komori the (cute) hikikomori and Nami the normal girl. The show’s full of name jokes, and for people new to the series the version I picked up has a nice explanation tagged to the end of it. Anyway Komori never leaves and Nami is supposedly always truant, thus a meeting that never should have happened takes place. As per usual the posters around the room (and the chalkboard) are full of random information that changes every shot… nothing important so don’t worry about your plain imploding while you try to read ap age about fuzzy logic.

One to go.

Ookami to Koshinryo

(Wolf and Spice)

Odds are if you find this file it’ll be called Wolf and Spice since well I don’t know apparently fansubbers have decided to translate anime names into english… I’d rather they didn’t it’s hard enough finding stuff for shows when it’s just the romaji version of the name. Regardless, I liked this show despite the ’spandex body suit’ thing they pulled with Horo. She spends most of her screen time in episode one naked. Aside from a tail and fluffy ears, which are attached…  There’s a town that worships a wolf spirit named Horo, and she keeps their fields growing… although apparently even she’s not omnipotent and so the soil needs to rest on occasion so they get a few bad crops and start freaking out as humans tend to do.

Enter Lawrence Craft, traveling salesman. He arrives in this village which he’s been to enough times that he has a buisness associate named Chloe living and working there. Of course he shows up justin time for the festival. Just as the last patch of wheat in the field s cut he hears a thump in the back of his cart (which is covered) Lo and behold once he’s out of town he’s got a naked girl in the back… of course with the censorship the way it is she could be clothed… you technically can’t tell. Usually there’d be… details… on the… chest… but not uh further… *points at Elfen Lied* anyway it makes no difference. She claims to be a wolf god and he says prove it. Which cues one f the best liens in episode one and I’m not spoiling it. She turns her into a wolf, her left arm first and Lawrence freaks out slips and falls out of his wagon. Then Horo’s gone. DAN DAN DAAAAAAAAAN… you get to watch the show to find out what happens next. The show’s serious but light hearted enough to be funny at times.
