Synopsis: Nozomu Itoshiki (Zetsubou-sensei) is the world's most negative person. He teaches class 2-F about life's despair and darkness. Students are extraordinary: a very positive girl, a stalker, a foreign exchange student with split personalities, and a perfectionist acting class president (the real class president is invisible to others).
Source 1: Nozomu Itoshiki is voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya. Genre: Animation and Comedy.
Source 2: Irrelevant (discusses Æon Flux).
Overview Draft:
In this season, Nozomu Itoshiki, also known as Zetsubou-sensei, continues his efforts to teach class 2-F about the inherent despair and darkness found in all aspects of life. As the world's most negative person, Itoshiki views words, culture, and life through a pessimistic lens. His mission to instill a sense of hopelessness proves difficult because his students are far from ordinary. The class includes a girl who is the most positive individual he has ever encountered, as well as his own personal stalker. Additionally, the student body features a foreign exchange student who possesses split personalities. The class is also managed by a perfectionist acting class president, a role necessitated by the fact that the actual class president cannot be seen by anyone. Through these interactions, the series explores the comedic and animated struggles of a teacher attempting to spread negativity among a group of highly unconventional students. (Word
