UPDATE: From both Robert's Anime Corner Store and Right Stuf comes word that it'll be SIX episodes, not five-- half of the first season. (You can preorder it and other May titles from Media Blasters right now, btw.)
There's no word on Moyashimon for now, but man, I'm so excited for Zetsubou-sensei that I do not even care. At all. Let's throw a party! Here, I'll be in charge of the music.
For those of you not already familiar with the series (and you should be, because Del Rey Manga has been releasing the manga at a steady clip), Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a dark comedy about an eternally pessimistic teacher whose name can be read "Zetsubou" instead of Nozomu Itoshiki, and his unique array of (mostly female) students-- including an eternal optimist, an obssessive-compulsive girl, a girl with a fetish for tails, a fujoshi, and many others. It's good times.
For everyone else: party time in the comments!
While I'm not a big fan of the series, I'll at least give congrats to fans of the show for finally being able to have an opportunity to get it here in the states.
Anyway, this is great news, because the anime is fantastic. It's hilarious. Though it's really hard to keep up with how fast paced everything is. I wonder if they'll be doing a dub? The Japanese voices are so spot on, seeing it in English would be odd. Never mind the amount of line editing they'd have to do because of how freakishly fast the dialog is in the show.
Oh, whoops. Saw the next tweet. There IS a dub listed.... I kind of wish there wasn't. It's not the type of show that's going to appeal to people who aren't really into anime.....
I'll wait until the release a set or the singles end up in a bargain bin somewhere.
That'll take a while...
Or blu-ray <3
Del Rel really publishes this series well. It should be interesting to see how this is dubbed.
