I wonder if it'll even get licensed, since according to animenfo, Media Factory has the rights to US distribution.

Ehhh, that's not quite correct. No one in the U.S. has licensed School Rumble anime series. Animenfo probably put Media Factory in there because of the incident where they told that big fansub database everyone knows about to stop distributing their titles. That fansub place has to comply so they marked any Media Factory titles as "licensed", but in reality they aren't.

I'm at episode 16 of season 1, and I have to say. This is one of the few romantic comedies that one hell of a love polygon. There's like so many relationship pairs I have to keep up. :shock:

Still very entertaining stuff, and any scene with Yakumo is an instant win! 8-)

I just found this myself. I was Loling so hard at eps 1 almost as much as the baseball episode of Haruhi Suzumiya :lol: Especially when

They passed Takumi on the downlhill in his 86! in the corner no less! on bikes!



Quite an entertaining series I found here, I'm currently on eps 7 of Season 1, and loving most of it, though they seemed to have run alittle low on steam in the last few episodes. I will have to see how the rest turns out. Noein kinda took over my interest as a prioirty at the moment :lol:

Haruhi is still my current favorite comedy, but I will be getting the rest of this and season 2 aswell. [/quote]

Completely done with first season! And I have to say, this was one of the most awesome romantic comedies I've in quite awhile. I'm impressed with the number of characters and their relationships that were introduced, and most of them were not totally wasted. Pretty much everyone has their fair share of screentime in the most hilarious fashion. I feel that the whole sports festival episode was the pinnicle of these relationships, and it was executed in such an awesome fashion.

Onward to the OVAs and season 2! :D

Though I bet that thing that happened in the last episode made fans weep in horror. Good thing they continued it, right? :wink:

Horray for double posting! :D

I finished episodes 1-3 of season 2 which is the infamous survival game arc. And MY GOD, this has to be the most badass arc I have seen yet! :shock:

I mean it's basically over some silly dispute of what to do for the Cultural Festival. But who cares! It's all about a bunch of high school kids with guns shooting each other with lots amount of melodrama and insane action scenes. The final gun battle between Harima and Hanai on the rooftop just screams a John Woo moment.

This is such a fun arc. School Rumble with guns really made my day. 8-)

Can't really call either Harima or Ooji cute, but i still like Harima better. Ooji kinda scares me.. > >

Note, i only have volumes 1 and 2 of the manga in Japanese (i got them before the manga was released in the US), and it's kinda hard to read them, but i managed and i loved it!^^

It took a few months, but yes it has been, by Funimation. Goodbye WF subs. Anyways.

Does anyone know what show ep 20 of the second season is parodying? My guess is Solty Rei, but that doesn't seem right.

Not the most representative, but I'm too lazy to jump through the hoops to get a better one unless needed.

hi guys, anyone happen to recall a scene where characters or dancing in school rumble? im working on an amv and just need a few seconds of some sort of body shaking (not the school festival, rather something more to the effect of jumping up and down or side to side). ive seen both seasons many times but cant remember a scene like that.

thanks in advance.

Nothing really comes to mind, but when looking for a particular scene like this its recommended that you post in AMV Suggestions.
