About the Site
Hopeful Despair was purchased June 30th, 2009 and is being hosted on Dreamhost. It was a name that I coined up
in a sort of tribute to two of my favorite characters/one of my favorite couples:
Nozomu Itoshiki and
Kafuka
Fuura from
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Nozomu is the despairing Zetsubou-sensei, and Kafuka is one of his students,
who is hopeful and optimistic. You put them together and they're hopeful despair!
About the Layout
The layout features, of course, Sensei and Kafuka :3 It uses two of my favorite colors, blue and purple. Made in Adobe
Photoshop CS2, and coded in Notepad. Background texture from
Squidfingers.
