Series Review: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
“You were…trying to make yourself taller, weren’t you?”
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a funny kind of show.
Naturally, I mean that in both senses of the word. First off, it’s a ‘funny’ show in the same way that someone like me might smell ‘funny’, with a style far removed from most slice-of-life shows. You come to SZS [...]

A Cardcaptor Sakura for the 21st century.
At first glance Nanatsuiro Drops is one of your standard magical girl shows with a target audience age that can be counted on your two hands. In some aspects of it, it is exceedingly sugary and simplistic.
