Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Probably one of the weirdest manga ever penned by the Japanese. Written by the satirist Koji Kumeta, it tells the tale of one Kafuka Fuura, who discovers her teacher, Nozomu Itoshiki, under a sakura tree...

He is hanging by the neck in one of his many suicide attempts. She, being endlessly optimistic, thinks he is simply trying to make himself taller. Needless to say, this is where things get quite strange...and hilarious.

He teaches a class full of strangers, from the hikikomori, to a Disassociative Personality Disorder suffering transfer student, to a stalker, to a ridiculously OCD psychopath. And a normal girl.

The series does not take itself seriously at all, and is probably the darkest, strangest, and most disturbing comedies in existence.

AND I LOVE IT.
I'M IN DESPAIR! THE FACT THAT SAYONARA ZETSUBOU SENSEI HAS ENDED HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR! THERE'S NO HOPE! I'M GOING TO GO DIE!

The Zetas, once the military wing of the Gulf Cartel, is now among one of the most violent groups in Mexico. The Zetas started out as an enforcer gang for the Gulf Cartel, taking their name from the radio code used for top-level officers in the Mexican army. Not only are they highly organized, but their use of brutality and shock tactics – petrol bombs, beheadings, and roadblocks – has led the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to describe them as perhaps “the most technologically advanced, sophisticated and violent of these paramilitary enforcement groups.”
Between the first of the year and mid-March, 2009, the Mexican criminal organization most commonly known as "Los Zetas" has been busy. Members of this group have been linked to a death threat delivered to the president of Guatemala, a grenade thrown into a bar in Pharr, the death of a high-ranking military general in Cancun, and a fair share of the organized crime-related deaths registered in Mexico.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
