Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei: Difference between revisions

** ''Zan'' OP has bits that are somewhere between this and [[Gonk]].

** The last third of ''Zan'' Episode 8, set aboard the Mystery Train, goes into a roughly-sketched cutout style that comes across as rather trippy. There are art shifts that occur within this medium change as well, mainly pertaining to the art style used for faces, which are drawn for major characters. The same style has been reused in another [[Studio Shaft]] series, ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''.

** During the dream episode in ''Zoku'', Usui was drawn in a style similar to ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' (particularly the art used in the third series).

* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: In one chapter, Nozomu claims he hates Christmas because he was born on November 4, which means that, if one counts back ten months and ten days, he was conceived on Christmas. Abiru immediately [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] on the margin of error.

** At the end of every episode for all seasons, there are artworks drawn by fellow mangaka. The list below shows which artists did, in episode order:

{{quote|'''Season 1:''' Kazuhiro Fujita (''[[Ushio and Tora]]''), Akimine Kamijyo (''[[Samurai Deeper Kyo]]''), Kouji Seo (''[[Suzuka]]''), Hideo Nishimoto, Shimoku Kio (''[[Genshiken]]''), Kazutoshi Soyama, [[Rumiko Takahashi]] (''[[Ranma ½]]''), Hiromu Arakawa (''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''), Yukari Takinami, Masashi Asaki, Yuji Terashima, and [[Koji Kumeta]] himself.

'''Goku (Season 2.5):''' Hidetoshi Oomori (''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' movies), Mako Aboshi (''[[Maria Holic]] Alive''), and [[Hiroshi Kamiya]] (Nozomu's seiyuu).

'''Bangaichi (Season 3.5):''' Range Murata (''[[Last Exile]]'') and [[Koji Kumeta]].

'''Season 3 Special:''' Yasu (''[[Toradora!]]''; she and Kumeta collaborated in the manga ''Joshiraku'') }}

** Oh dear Lord, ''everyone with a name'' has this applied to them.

** A more obscure example is Mikoto's first appearance when Kafuka visits him and calls him "Itoshiki-sensei," which is what she would call Nozomu. Mikoto just sits there and says "Yes?" because "sensei" can mean "teacher" or "doctor."

** Kafuka is certainly repressing, with her eternal happiness and obvious destructive past, so much so others fear her when they get a glimpse into her mind. But she's also more on the [[Cute and Psycho]] side (at least compared to everyone else).

** Chiri also frequently goes from obsessive-compulsive to completely psychotic. While she doesn't have much of a "dere" side she fits the concept of "love makes your murderous". For instance, when Nozomu tried going out like a celebrity, he visited a high-class call girl and tried to drown in Dom Perignon. When said lady brings him the bill at school and he complains about the expenses of dying, a displeased Chiri brings a knife and tells him that he can die for free. Another case of Chiri going nuts is when Nozomu (and guest commentators) immediately and bluntly rejected her suggestion that they could be a successful match (''proper love'') in the "Maybe Maybe" episode, despite considering and conceding the possibility of success of romantic relationships with Abiru (''[[Stealth Pun|puppy]] love''), Nami (''normal love''), Manami (''unfaithful love''), Kaere (''violent love''), Chie (''adult relationship''), Maria (''acquaintanceship'') and even Ikkyu (''[[Ho Yay]]''), upon their suggestions. Her equally immediate response is just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F76zNOmmJjI&feature=related frighteningly hilarious].
