Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Episode 2
Episode 2 was just as good, if not better than episode 1. I actually laughed at a lot of it raw since I could get the basic gist of things. I only fear that it’ll become a bit formulaic. Once again, this episode also started with Itoshiki trying to kill himself, Kafka stepping in in an attempt to stop him, but actually making the situation worse, and him asking “WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IF I DIED?!” This is funny once or twice, but I hope they mix it up a bit in later episodes. However, the show had a great chance to show a lot of “its stuff” this time around. Episode 1 was mostly introduction, but now they can get on to the good stuff.
Also a ton of references. I caught a Hidamari Sketch nod, Motsu, Konata and MASSUGU GO.
Oh, and it looks the opening and ending remained the same. Someone told me they’d be different from episode 2 and onwards. I guess not.
From what I’ve read in 5 chapters of the manga, I’m guessing this is the episode with the Hikikomori girl. Shes pretty cool.
Hikikomori and stalker girl.
OP text changed, though.
Only about 5 more days until it get subbed! Oh Shinbo. I love you to death.
5 days of Strato overlaying Japanese text.
“OP text changed, though.”

Komori should have her own show.
I was wondering… Isn’t the opening scene a reference to the train scene in TokiKake? Because they are composed in a very similar way: The slow motion, the approaching train, the traffic lights, the girl watching the guy die…
I really liked the “bridging scene” in episode 2, heres a snipet of the track from the episode:
