You asked me to look at this forever ago, but better late than never, right? :c
[General]*Timing is VERY off. I'll post updated timing at the bottom of my post so it's not lumped in with 20 other things.
*Nice skin elements, however...
*Spinner elements are a bit hard to see (all of the black is a bit hard on the eyes) and the spinner has no visible center point. I'm pretty sure that you NEED to have a visible center).
*mp3 quality is kinda... low..
*I don't think that the artist is correct. I think that you would either stick with the Japanese format "Ootsuki Kenji" or the romanized English "Kenji O
htsuki". At least, that's what it looked like after googling around. orz
*Shouldn't the source be "Zan Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei"? If so, you would add "sensei" to tags since "zetsubou-sensei" would be counted as one word. If not, remove "zetsubou" from tags since it would already be in the source.
*normal-finish at the end of each diff sounds a bit strange. Maybe try a soft-finish or something instead? o-o
[Easy]00:57:296 (2,3) - This may not be completely unrankable, but with snaking sliders off,
this pattern may look a bit confusing. I highly recommend changing this pattern.
01:07:963 (1,2) - ^
[Normal]00:49:963 (3) - uhhh (see my note below the entire mod post on this)
01:04:630 (1) - Way too quick after the end of the spinner for a Normal diff. Could you end the spinner a white tick earlier?
[Hard]*A few unexpected jumps, but I suppose they're fine.
00:49:879 (1,2,3,4) - (see my note below the entire mod post on this)
00:51:296 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - 1/8th snap? (see below)
[Insane]*Drain could be raised a tick.
00:49:879 (1,2,3,4) - (see my note below the entire mod post on this)
00:51:296 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6) - 1/8th snap? (see below)
01:16:296 (5,6) - uhh spacing?
[lepidon! - Taiko Muzukashii]00:49:963 (20,21,22,23) - (see my note below the entire mod post on this)

***00:49:963 - Why is this completely inconsistent between difficulties? I suppose that lepidon's way is the most expected way to hit the notes, but really they sound like they should be 1/8th earlier (basically like... if you took the repeating slider from Normal and moved it back 1/8th). I'm really not sure what to do with this part... (at least change Hard/Insane to how lepidon has it)
Timing- Offset is definitely early. I was getting ~15ms late when testing, but 640 offset sounded best to me. However, 01:17:978 feels a bit early with this new offset and 01:28:644 feels a bit late. 79,995 and 88,625 should work better for the end.
Also, there's 00:51:311 on 1/8th ticks which should NOT be right. Hmm... I'm really not sure what to do about this. I tried adding a couple new uninherited sections, but then it sounded worse. orz
Did you happen to cut this mp3 yourself, by any chance? The places where it's cut sounds like someone took the full version of the song and cut it down to the tv size. Regardless, the mp3 quality is already a bit low, so could you keep looking for a better quality one? =x
