Zetsubou-Sensei vs. Kemonozume, presented by Marusaia

[marusaia]

You can find a lot of weird, interesting, and funny stuff on Youtube. This is one such thing. It's a mashup of the Sayounara Zetsubou-sensei opening animation and the Kemonozume opening theme song. It's a surprisingly good match. The song and the images match up nicely, and both of them (to me at least) evoke the flavor of pre-World War II Showa Japan, a world that had a foot in two centuries, a world that was a madcap blend of kimono and suits, shamisen and jazz music, katana and trains. Pre-war Showa fascinates me. It's a world that, looking back on it, seems beautiful, melancholy, flashy, and understated all at once, and the fact that the era was such a mix of old and new only adds to the fascination. It's no wonder I'm writing fiction based in the period.

Anwyay, here it is. minako134, this is for you! Doesn't it fit well? Heheh, watching this is making me really want to see Sayounara Zetsubou-sensei. Time to finally take your advice XD
