I just wanna talk about this series. Has anybody ever seen it? I don't think it's on modern paid streaming platforms.
I was watching it as it released in the late 2000's/early 2010's.
Plot summary: A comically depressed and suicidal man named Nozomu Itoshiki begins teaching a high school class. His students, mostly the girls, are all based on the extreme of some sort of mental disorder/personality quirk/trope.
There's Kafuka, the frighteningly optimisitc one and his foil; Chiri, the most extreme case of OCD ever documented, a hikikomori girl, a yandere, a dirty foreign refugee, a hot blonde with a split personality, the one who can only text, and of course, the one who's so normal she's boring.
The episodes are just multiple slice of life stories where the author plays out scenarios about Japanese culture that are weird, thought-provoking, or ironic, and plays it off all the character quirks of the students and Sensei.
It has a very unique style, great cast, and all the music FRICKIN SLAPS.

SHAFT didn't adapt the manga to the end (even though they wanted to) since sales already peaked and they had monogatari and madoka to do
