Synopsis

Hope's Peak Academy's unconventional class 77-B is about to have an even more eccentric addition: Chisa Yukizome, an alumna with the title of Super High School-Level Housekeeper—and their new homeroom teacher. Cheerful, passionate, and capable, Chisa immediately sets about correcting the students' problematic behavior and strengthening their relationships. It may not be easy dealing with diverse pupils ranging from princesses and nurses to yakuza and impossibly lucky students, but anything is possible with the power of hope. Meanwhile, Hajime Hinata, an unremarkable boy from the school's Reserve Course, longs for a talent. One day, he has an unexpected meeting with class 77-B's Super High School-Level Gamer Chiaki Nanami, who presents to him a new, hope-filled outlook on life. However, unbeknownst to him, the school's upper echelon is about to execute a sinister project centered around Hajime that will bring Hope's Peak—and the rest of the world—to its knees. Zetsubou-hen chronicles the daily lives carried out at the talent-cultivating academy, and the darkness that lurks beneath. As despair slowly infects hope, plans are put into motion to start the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History, and the end begins. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I think this is the point where the series really makes you understand the ideas of hope and despair, to the point that you'll wonder how everything could end or turn around. That said, I do think the contrast between the two should've been introduced more clearly from the beginning, since some of the later scenes feel a bit meaningless without that proper context. Still, this part does a great job of making up for the lack of substance in the earlier episodes and delivers a satisfying comeback.

This part is almost ugly. It's the first time I've ever used this word. It's feels that way to me because it mostly shows senseless killings without any real substance. If they wanted to go to those lengths, they should've developed the characters' motivations or backstories more. This is a prequel, after all. It doesn't achieve the same level of justification as Light from Death Note, whose motivation begins with his extreme sense of justice and viewing life as boring, which eventually led him to become who he is. It also feels like it was trying too hard to capture the hype of the movie Battle Royale, but failed because everything was rushed. The soundtrack is great, but even that isn't enough to save the episode.
