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:

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.
