El ritmo de la serie es atractivo y el segundo opening uno de los mejores que he visto pero al parecer buena parte de la gracia de la serie se pierde en la traducción y al sacarla de su contexto.

Description: 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.

"Hilarious! The tail of a teacher with the name despair, a really depressed guy, as he meets his opposite - a student of his, who sees the world as totally positive. Absolutely the most random thing iv'e ever seen, its a masterpiece! A bit hard to watch, however. "

"Even if it didn't have a "proper" ending or plot, this show was still top-notch! The first episodes were hilarious while the second half was a little more random. Overall this is a great parody and satire, well worth the watch. You won't find craziest and more eccentric characters!"

"It really is despair inducing. It builds up slowly throughout the laughs. it becomes this hard little pit in your stomach and then no amount of laughter will fill it. "
