# Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei

Sayonara, Zetsubō Sensei (English: So Long, Mr. Despair) is a Japanese 2007 television comedic anime based on the manga of the same name. The story is about suicidal high school teacher Nozomu Itoshiki and his students, most of whom display a variety of extreme personality quirks.

## Anime first season
### Episode 1

(In the beaming spring day, Kafuka stopped Nozomu from suicide forcibly)
    Nozomu: What if I had died!?
    Kafuka: Eh?
    Nozomu: Oh?
    Nozomu: Once again, I didn't die... Why did you stop me?
    Kafuka: You just said "What if I had died?"
    Nozomu: I am a man whose life is worth nothing.
    Kafuka: You didn't intend to die, right?
    Nozomu: What are you talking about!? I was fully prepared to die!
    Kafuka: Of course not!
(Nozomu despairs of a world which solves everything with money)
    Nozomu: I'm in despair! This money-grubbing world has left me in despair!
Caption
    A "man" who can only see things in a negative light.
    A "girl" who can only see things in a positive light.
    A meeting that was never meant to happen.
(Nozomu is introducing himself to his students. Nozomu says that the stroke number of his name is unlucky)
    Kafuka: Since stroke number is a Japanese thing, writing your name horizontally would eliminate the problem.
    Nozomu: Horizontally... W-Wait a second! Anything but that!
    (When his name 糸色望 is written horizontally, it resembles "DESPAIR" 絶望 in Kanji)
    Kafuka: Mr. Despair!
    Nozomu: Don't squeeze them together!

### Episode 2

(Nozomu is telling a stalker student that true deep love is commiting suicide together)
    Nozomu: The meaning of love is found through death!
    Matoi: Oh...
    Nozomu: If you truly love each other, then die together. Red lead, sleeping pills, and a will, along with other items. This is my travel kit, which I always carry on me. I'll leave it here.
    Matoi: (The ultimate form of love... You love one another so much that you wish to die together?)
    Nozomu: Tsunetsuki-san. If you'd like, I'll die with you whenever you want. Then bon voyage.
    Matoi: (That was a confession of love)
(An accident in the infirmary, a massive misunderstanding, and more girl trouble for Nozomu...)
    Chiri: As a man and a woman, now that it's come to this, we have no choice. Please do a proper job of it.
    Nozomu: A proper job?
    Chiri: Properly register me as a family member! Properly meet with my parents!

### Episode 4

(Nozomu is communicating with a shy student who can only talk through e-mail)
    Nozomu: "Hello." Send.
    Meru: Mail. Mail. Mail. Mail. Mail. Mail.
       Piroriparopirirora (onomatopoeia of Meru's mail)
    Nozomu: Looks like I got a reply. Let's see. Uh...
    "Moron You're annoying Don't wear it creepy-looking kimono"
    Nozomu: Wha- There must be some kind of mistake, right?
    Meru: Mail. Mail.
       Piroriparopirirora
    "Me Right here The person in front you. Damn four-eyes."
    Nozomu: She's abusive in her e-mails!? People like you badmouth me on the Internet! But then they behave properly in person, so I can't get mad at them! You no longer get preferential treatment!
       I'm in despair! The Internet has left me in despair!
(Meru's abusive e-mails sweep through the class)
    "You're just a panty shot character Show your panties already Flash"
    Kaere: I'll sue!
(Kafuka is sending messages somewhere)
    Kafuka: This is Earth, this is Earth. Is everyone doing well?
       Really? Planet Pororoca is currently experiencing a spring that comes once every fourteen years.
       The fields are covered with next life grass and raw meat flowers for a year,
       shaky grasshoppers and dream-colored stink bugs and dark scarabs have gathered for an insect conference!
    Nozomu: Where are your messages being sent!?

### Episode 10

(Chiri is delivering a gag)
    Chiri: This is where the contest parts.

## Anime second season (Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei)

    Chiri: You're probably surprised. This class is full of troublemakers with a teacher like that. But I'm relieved that you're normal.
    Nami: Normal!?
       Normal, normal, normal... Normal is never meant in a good way!

### Episode 2

    Kafuka: Everybody in this class belongs to Sensei, so you have no chance.

       A tulip has fallen sideways due to the wind
       Lightning Flash!
       Rain pours down
       The rain leaks through the cracks and makes two round puddles
