CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

So, I just finished watching both seasons of School Rumble and I enjoyed it a lot! It's cute, ridiculous, and just generally entertaining. It doesn't take itself seriously at all, but I think the more dramatic moments were just as well done as the funny ones. In case you haven't seen it, Funimation has it available to watch online: http://www.youtube.com/show?p=83H-KhQ310Y&pl=EC18A6D6F2FFB49F&ob=showav_n Please note, there's some cursing, innuendo, and some brief nudity in the series (and there's more of it in the second season).

It's in English, but I thought the dub was pretty good. The girls don't sound unnaturally squeaky and the guys don't sound like they have head colds. Although I doubt the scripting is a direct translation, the dialogue is natural to the way teenagers/young people speak.

With all that being said, who are your favorite characters? Which couples do you like? What are some of your favorite moments?

Here's my list.

Favorite characters:
Harima. He's like a male version of me when it comes to love and stuff, XD.
Tenma. She's adorable. Incredibly dense, but adorable.
Eri. I think she's one of the most in-depth and dynamic characters in the series (especially in season 2).
Akira. Oh my gosh, her dead pan one-liners are fantastic, XD.

Favorite couples:
HarimaxTenma. Self-explanatory. If only Tenma would stop being dumb and give him a chance, XD. Kurasuma can go die in a fire with his beloved curry.
HanaixMikoto. Because of the part where they're childhood friends. It probably wouldn't happen though.
ImadorixKaren. She's the only girl he's not all that perverted with. Also, there was that one episode in season 2 where they hung out a lot.

I could get on board with HarimaxEri, but it would take Harima's feelings changing.

Favorite moments:
Basically everything Akira says, but here's some stuff I remember.
"I told you I'm awesome."
(when asked how she stays in shape) "Actually, I starve myself and throw up every day."
(when she and Mikoto are harassing Eri for not confessing to Harima) "Why do you suck?"
Also, every time an episode becomes a parody of some popular anime. I laugh so hard, XD.

I've only seen 4 eps, and I'm a fan! It's just too cute!

Definitely one of my favorite series. If not my favorite.

My favorite characters are:
Harima, he's just awsome. He's kinda who I want to be, only not juming to conclusions so fast.
Eri, her internal conflicts made her one of the more interesting characters. (and one of the cuter...)
Yakumo, is the character I wish I knew IRL the most. Quiet and reserved but not weak.
Aso, pretty much the character I most resemble. And he's the only guy character who isn't super openly pervy. XP

HarimaxTenma If it ended any other way I'd be rather disapointed.
ErixMe ...wait, that wasn't in the show. XP

I pretty much love the entire show, but that's prolly because I use it for escapism... But I really liked the sequence when Akira was trying to get her yearly greeting card and [spoiler]they all got stuck in the floor. XD[/spoiler]

LOL Yes. That was fantastic.

This is probably in my top five faves of all time.

Favorite Character: Harima.

Pairing: Harima X Yakumo, Harima X Tenma.

Funny moments: Practically every episode is hilarious.

Favorite Chatacter: I bet you can tell who my favorite character is.
My other favorites are Tenma, Yakumo, Eri, and Akira.

Favorite coupling: Harima & Tenma. Because funny stuff happens when they're together.
Harima and Eri. Because cute as well as funny stuff happens when they're together.

Favorite moment: When Tenma falls asleep while helping Harima with his manga.

School Rumble is hands down one of my favorite series. I just wish they would have made season 3 like they were supposed to instead of just making like the final episode of it.

Yeah, although the ending of season 2 had somewhat of a resolution. There's the assumption than Harima and Tenma will be spending more time together at least.

Also, it's awesome to hear what the Japanese sounds like.

Hooray! I really did like this show, even with the ... non ending that it got. Harima is great.

It's honestly the only anime that's actually made me burst out laughing IRL on multiple occasions, XD.

I think one of my favorite scenes was the archery of love sequence.

Where Tenma was basically Kikyo? I lol'd.

Yeah. That's the one. It actually persuaded me to watch the series, since it was playing in the anime store I used to hang out at. I couldn't hear the audio and I had to know what on earth was happening so I started watching the series.

I thought I had tried watching this and didn't like it, but it turns out I was remembering a different anime called Rumbling Hearts. So I might try School Rumble one of these days.

I saw the first episode and liked it, but I'm not sure when I'll pick it up again.

Pick it up soon! It's pretty freakin' hilarious!
