We have Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei tonight (today on other parts of the world). This anime was released last year. It's just 12 episodes but I certainly enjoyed every moment of it. It's not the same as a lot of repetitive crappy animés out there. Basically, it talks a lot about common things around the world that seems normal and acceptable to society. However, the animé explores these things in a different perspective making you think about them and how they actually make you a fool. The title means So Long, Mr. Despair. The video (above) is the first episode of the series. Watch it for yourself and enjoy.
For the picky, Anime News Network (ANN) offers you a synopsis...
Itoshiki Nozomu is the world's most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, "despair", when compressed. What an ironic twist of fate, then, that he becomes teacher to a class containing his precise opposite, the invincibly positive-minded Fuura Kafuka.
It also has a sequel called Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei which means So Long, Mr. Despair Extreme. It's as thrilling as the first but I can say that the first season was better.
ja ne~
