perfect fit

The Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei team is bringing us a romantic comedy about a lesbian attending an all-girls school because she hates men. Then she promptly falls in love with a crossdressing man attending that school. Should I be disappointed or relieved that I had never heard about Maria Holic until today?

Ah Shaft; chalkboard sight gags and “clever” and “incisive” comments on otaku lifestyle.

I hope it just happens to be, you know, fun.

Disappointed. You should definitely feel disappointed.
7 08 2008: Phuong (12:12:23, #164120) :

Yep…this is our blogger.

The description on ANN says “cross-dressing sadistic boy.” Why is “Lelouche” the first thing that comes to mind?
7 08 2008: Mark (13:31:49, #164122) :

eh, he’s totally a masochist.

It’s Shaft, and the Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei team is making it — be prepared for:

A. Fansubbing hell. (long releases).
B. Sight gags/random comments in the background.
C. At least one episode concentrated solely on puns.
D. A nickname for the protagonist.

What I’m wondering about, is why the hell is there a crossdressing guy at an all-girls school? Is this some sort of yuri/Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru crossover?

So Aya Hirano as a lesbian harem lead.
And Yu Kobayashi as the main end “girl”.

Broken series is broken?

At least the sadistic/masochist character’s actress has experiance with crazy male characters (Higurashi’s Satoshi Hojo for example).

AH, brilliant. I am loving shaft more and more

I foresee many Symmetrical Docking tags.

God, the plot of this series screams “ANIME!!!!”
Thanks, Japan.

Someone somewhere needs to point a finger at Jason and all of his commenters (myself included) and angrily cry, “This is all your fault!”
7 08 2008: Shakudo (15:18:50, #164131) :

I wonder if Kanako thinks of Maria as a DFC…
7 08 2008: dood (15:38:48, #164132) :

just shoot me, there is no way this one isn’t blogged by our almighty jason
7 08 2008: Akira (15:47:09, #164133) :

This actually sounds awesome. (Both the plot and shaft)
7 08 2008: Giant Humanoid Robot (16:09:23, #164134) :

I fully expect to see you listed as a consultant in the credits, Jason.
7 08 2008: Endz (16:51:49, #164135) :

The manga needs to be scanlated. Even for just one chapter T_T
7 08 2008: Beowulf Lee (16:58:30, #164136) :

You should not only feel disappointed but like a failure for not being able to bring this to our attention sooner. Who else are we suppose to rely on to bring us such things than “Loli-Broken-Sensei” Jason?
7 08 2008: saimaisama (17:07:06, #164137) :

Lol, I agree with Beowulf. This blog has completely broken me and I really really don’t care … It’s sad how no matter how much I look I can’t find any scans or downloads for the Drama CD … I don’t want to wait for the anime. ==;
7 08 2008: emotoaster (18:22:03, #164140) :

YES WE CAN!
7 08 2008: EvilDevil (19:08:01, #164142) :

at first i was happy with the idea of yuri, finally something i like… then i read the cross-dressing part…
Damn you Jason!!!!!!!!!!
7 08 2008: 0kami (19:16:19, #164145) :

The exciting times of lesbians and the crossdressers who love them may sound interesting, but I’ve already been to art school.
7 08 2008: sage (19:33:10, #164146) :

I’m coming buckets here.

I have been reading that manga for more than a year already. I already read volume 1, along with some magazine scans for the latter chapters (all raw, of course). Damn, I feel so giddy now…
7 08 2008: Spaniard (22:06:55, #164147) :

After all the subtext in SZS this is just the natural progression that must take place.

It is inevitable.
8 08 2008: sage (01:16:57, #164148) :

Shameless self-promotion:

I posted some manga scans there, in case anyone is interested. Also, I might scanlate it, but I promise nothing.

According to Wikipedia, it is scheduled to be broadcast in January 2009. Now let’s hope it will be subbed and we’re set! ^_^
8 08 2008: Kikimaru (02:26:04, #164150) :

I’m certain a section of the internet fansub-base is broken enough to pick this up on-the-spot.
8 08 2008: tidal (04:00:46, #164151) :

I feel this tingly sensation in my fingers…this isn’t supposed to happen. I don’t understand this. Logically, I should be repulsed by the very concept, and yet…what are these feelings? I’m…actually looking forward to this.

Jason, what have you done to me?!
8 08 2008: Dissent (05:47:09, #164153) :

These are tears of joy running down my face…I’m sure of it.
8 08 2008: TheBigN (06:35:13, #164154) :

It’s something that I could definitely see you loving, so embrace it when it does come out. This seems like it could be all kinds of awesome. :3
8 08 2008: Kouryuu (08:24:00, #164155) :

Sweet, the world needs more Yuri manga. And I say Jason needs to blog the manga. I think trains of conversation about “Lesbian Harem Lead Haruhi” would be far more interesting than Kyonko.
8 08 2008: Galen2 (08:47:44, #164156) :

I find that I’m weeping acid I’m so excited for this. I also find that I’m going through all my OtoBoku image folders and doujins again…and then double the excitement. Like the Doublemint Twins, only one came slower than the other. Wait…what?
8 08 2008: Haesslich (14:26:46, #164173) :

Figures that Jason’d be all over a project with a trap in it, much less a sadistic one. The meido does look promising, though, as does the whole ‘Ouran Host Club of one, but with someone evil ordering Haruhi around’ concept.
