Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

懺・さよなら絶望先生

Nozomu Itoshiki, a high-school teacher who reads every aspect of life in its bleakest possible light, returns to lecture his class on whatever despair the day brings. Each episode seizes a Japanese phrase, custom, or social habit and follows it to a literal or absurd extreme, with anxious Kafuka Fuura and the rest of his students drawn into the running gag. This third season continues the format with no change in Itoshiki's outlook.
