So after watching the first season ages ago I stumbled upon the completed manga recently and after reading it all I can say is what the hell did I just witness
It's left me in despair
>>119813477
it was a great ride, wasn't it?
>>119813533
It was fine until the last ten chapters then it got weird fast
>>119813651
It was weird in a good way.
>>119813721
It was a creative way of doing a harem and it made me think. The problem was it made me think disturbing thoughts
THE OPENINGS
SHAFT KNEW
>>119814077
Of course they knew, and Kumeta knew, he planned it all along of course.
>>119814077
Pretty much this. I'm guessing SHAFT knew the entire time due to how the OP's and ED's are structured. If they weren't fully aware during the first season, they had to of during the second season, cause the OP's and ED's of that season were...well, look.

If you know of a higher quality collection/channel/version, please tell me of it so I can add to this.
>>119814627
I should of said that I'm including the OP's of Goku in with S2, my bad.
>>119813477
But it's a happy ending! Just not a normal one
>>119813477
That's a prettynormalreaction
So what did Meru and Chiri see when they looked into Fuuka's eyes
>>119815033
Pure, unfilteredlove silly, there'd never be anything like bloodlust or murderous intent, that kind of stuff would never happen near her.
>>119814854
Happy is just one way one might look at it.
>>119814893
I don't get itthere weren't any students at all
>>119815286Every student was full fleshed.
It's just that everyone had a Kafuka as addition.
>>119814077
The best part of the ride was probably trying to find all those references that Shaft inserted in not just the OP's and ED's but also in the episodes as well.
Things that were initially just thought of standard SHAFT quality such as characters missing and/or disappearing was actually part of the story.
>>119814077
Shaft and Kumeta are a match made in heaven.
>>119815286
Everyone was dead and it was just a very elaborate funeral right
Alternatively everybody tried to commit suicide and a part of them wanted to died but the transfusion from Fuuka slowly killed of that part due to the ritual and her overwhelming positivity making the girls whole again but in love with Zetsubou whilst he was in love with the Fuuka in them
>>119815361
So the reasonsensei never chose one specific vessel for Kafuka is because he liked Kafuka and not the other grills?
So in the end who was the college student?
>>119815436
Didn't the Mystery Train sequence go over something like this? I distinctly recall some sort of conversation between Kafuka and Sensei about love and marriage. She asks him if she knows who he's in love with and he says yes, and then the next scene is him not knowing who to marry.
>>119815436
How in the hell you can put it that way.
>>119815491
Seems like a Chiri thing to do
>>119815509
He put it off.
>>119815509
"I've decided to put it off"
"This is by far the most popular destination for mystery trains, putting it off"
The ending its just zetsubou sensei tried avoid the strangle of law and news.
>>119814627
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBocOfKYraY
this is my favorite SZS opening
>>119815547If he had liked one vessel more than the others, or simply more than Kafuka herself, she may have stopped randomly possessing bodies, you know?Maybe?
Ringo > Rumba > Bure
>>119815696
>Rumba
>Without the Rumbas
Ilikeit
The hell is going on in this topic?
>>119815573
He put off the decision of who he was going to marry, yes, but it was pretty clear who he loved.
http://youtu.be/195eNGXM2js?t=5m36s
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what do we do from here?"
>"Teacher, how about deciding on a woman?"
"Hmm, that's right."
"With whom should I-"
[CLOSE UP ON KAFUKA'S FACE]
>"Haven't you already made up your mind?"
"...Yes."
Then they both ride the train together, talking about how only people who've made weighty decisions can ride the train they're on.I don't know, maybe it's just me, but this was as clear as day to me the first time I saw it.
I liked the part where they all ate the black obelisk from 2001: a space odyssey.
>>119815779
>>119815360
ow no...OW NOOO
>>119815716
If she posessed them randomly. The marriage cycle was not going to be in perfect full circle arrow.
>>119815361They failed their suicide attempts and had a second chance thanks to the donor Akagi An (Kafuka). This attracted the Showa spirits which wanted another chance that they didn't get and Akagi An herself.
>>119816175A meeting that was never meant to happen
>>119816283Kumeta knew where he was going from chapter 1.
Wildest ride ever
>>119816333
Part of the fun of the ending was going back and looking at all the clues that were shown in broad daylight in as early as chapter 1/episode 1 but was dismissed to be just either Kumeta being lazy or Shaft being Shaft.
>>119816333
Yep and SHAFT knew as well.

Other than all off them, which Zetsubou would you marry?
>>119816643
Guilty gear
>>119816643
All of them.AKA Kafuka
>>119816643
Matoi is by far the best choice and the best girl.
>>119816643
>>119816787JIIIIIIII
>>119816787
DEEP LOVE dakara
>>119816900
Technically the only correct choice.
>>119816930
>>119816966
>>119817243Minaide
>>119817243
Great taste anon.
>>119817056
>>119816787Fuuu~Sion~HAAA!!
Is there anybody who's anybody that didn't do an endcard for SZS?
bump
Has Kumeta done anything after Joshiraku?
>>119819189
The one with the big hats that's an allegory for otaku culture, but I heard that that ended.
>>119816643
The choice is obvious.
>>119816643
All of them.
>>119816643Sumimasen~
>>119820329
>>119821168
Best minor character.
>>119816787
>wanting used goods
>>119820425
The only true answer.
>>119821439
>minor character
H-Hey now, m8
She wasn't a main or anything, but 'minor' is too far
>>119821439
Towards the end she had more spotlight than some of the main girls, or at least were introduced very early on.
>>119821439
I usually don't like self-aware characters, but it was way too obvious with this one.
She was such a best girl that she had to apologize to everyone else for simply being better.
>>119821930
>>119821992
Yeah, fair enough. She did have entire sections happening as a result of her.
>>119822144
>>119822262
>Not apologizing on very panel
Close enough otherwise, I guess
>>119822262
She'd clearly apologise profusely for being the seme.
bump
>>119823452
How many days until we can laugh at that joke?
>>119816643
>>119823949
Good taste.
>>119824006
The best taste.
>>119824006
>>119823949
Normal is the cutest
>>119824006
That delicious pit stubble.
More Time Thief when?
>>119824061
>>119824113
>>119824318
>>119813477
Are the girls dead or Zetsubo got an harem end?
>normalfags
>>119824430They aren't dead.
>>119824465
>>119824465
Normal in this case just happens to be top tier.
Best girl
>>119824550So, Kafuka wasn't the only spirit inside those girls?
>>119824837
iirc it wasn't even kafuka's ghost it was her "happy virus" or whatever that infected the girls so they were a collective entity known as Fuura Kafuka
>>119824692
Good taste my man
>>119824837No. All that we know about the other spirits inside the girls is that they appeared after each girldespairedand date back to the Showa era. At least, as far as I can recall.
>>119824934Kafuka existed, I'm pretty sure. All the positivity gene stuff did was make it so they didn't want todespairanymore.
>>119824837No, but they don't really seem to have much influence beyond sharing similar personality traits and that they successfully committed suicide where the girls failed. That, and that the class was set up as a posthumous ceremony for them.
>>119824934
In a way. I'm pretty sureher spirit still played a part, but she just needed to have some of her body in them to manifest herself, like we see in the reporter girl at the very end.
where can I find the completed manga?
Batoto has about 50+ chapters missing
>>119825271
Nowhere; it's not completely translated.
>>119825271
>completed manga
I don't know how to break this to you anon...
>>119825344
>>119825327
it was nice knowing you all
>>119825381
You too.
>>119825381
Have fun despairing anon.Who knows, maybe someday a kindly translator will despair with us?
If the /a/non who sent me the normal phone charm for Christmas happens to be here, I never got to properly thank you.
So, thank you.
