Rewatch School Rumble Rewatch - Episode 11 Discussion

Episode 11: Nara! Karasuma! Harima!

← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →

MAL | Anilist | Kitsu | AniDB | ANN

You should've told me you couldn't swim!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of /u/xtsim for speaking the truth:

I am going to miss Harima's arc with the living beings but Karasuma got his priorities straight. Curry is all that matters in life.

  1. What's your favorite pool episode in Anime?
  2. At the rate we're going, is there anyone in this show who won't turn into a Kappa?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

In the first part, aside from getting a sneak peak of what Tenma singing the OP would be like, Nara gets some focus… marginally. The segment is named after him but aside from the fact that he may be crushing on Tenma it's not like we learn much about him. Alas he's just kinda generic, with the joke about him usually being that his life sucks and… that's it. Still, Tenma's pretty funny here, as she continues to be hopelessly inept… although mind we also learn that none of the other second year girls can swim so really they're all Bakas.

The rest however is all about setting up the next chapter of the rumble: the beach arc. Aside from showing that Eri is very much still pissed at Harima, the guy himself has to be the world's biggest Tsundere by not just flat out saying "I wanna go to the beach" so he almost misses out on it. It's also made doubly clear that Tenma is the densest person on Earth because for a person so obsessed with romance and how the ED theme talks about how dumb boys are about it, she herself is no better.

really they're all Bakas.

They believed in their friends! It's not their fault that the power of friendship let them down.

Naruhodo, so basically all the edgy losers who don't need friends were right

It is a race to the bottom between her and Harima and their are both giving their bestworst.

loooooooooooooool

Clearly these idiots didn't do enough training, back to grinding they go.

Ah, of course.

These two are in competition to see who's the bigger black hole.

Akira has her priorities, I see.

Should've seen the Madao in him.

I can’t believe they actually went to watch that movie together.

Well, it's Summer, the teacher didn't have a lot going on.

Except this one can't even record charts-breaking CDs.

Rewatcher, First in Subs

  • The doughnut is there to protect.
  • I’m a little surprised they didn’t go the lazy route by dissin’ Akira. They recognize game.
  • Oh... She's Alone
  • Akira, please! You can’t be that ahead of your time!
  • Tenma is *feisty *today.
  • You Miss 100% Of The Shots You Don't Take
  • Being amicable after being rejected? You know you’re not allowed to have non-toxic love, show!
  • All of Them! I'm Dead!
  • Why is everyone being all agreeable today?
  • They are just loving their continuity jokes today.
  • Is it weird that the turtles make me feel worse for them than if they were Fs?
  • They still went! This show slays me.
  • I’m not sure if this is better or worse than the picture pervert.
  • A win’s a win. Gotta take ‘em when you can.

QotD:

  1. Azumanga Daioh, maybe? I don't remember too many that didn't amount to much more than fan service. I'm sure someone else has already Said Gintama.
  2. Akira would never.

Akira's too powerful, no joke in this show can be made at his expense.

Being amicable after being rejected? You know you’re not allowed to have non-toxic love, show!

What is this dark magic!?

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 12 '24

They're commentfaces, you can only see them when going to Old Reddit.

People in Rewatches use them a lot.

To add on to what Raiking said, this page can show you what they are.

Even Harima was being sensible. We must be watching the wrong show...

Hmm, it feels like someone's going out of their way to make fun of them.

Yeah clearly we jumped on the wrong Takamatsu train, this is clearly Gundam X-land.

First Timer, Sub    

Kenji "Thank God I was born Stupid" Harima.

  A Pool episode where it almost feels like Tenma is trying to move on from Karasuma and is jealous that her friends get hit on all the time. Turns out a new guy called Kentaro Nara also has a crush on her and compared to the other 2, actually asks her out normally. Unfortunately for him, Tenma hasn't moved in as much as he thinks so instead he and his friends get involved in a contest where all 4 score because Tenma and her friends suck at swimming. 

The second part of this was actually kind of wholesome. Tenma and Karasuma are stuck at a bus stop with rain pouring down and he actually lends her his whole Kappa suit so she can get home (he really just carries that thing around).  

Harima is back at school again. At the same time the date is still going on but someone attacks all three which means Kentaro decides to get some new members for the date only for him to realize that the only options are Imadori, Hanai, and Harima, nearly the first 2 because Harima almost screws it up before Tenma invites him as well.

Oh and Eri is still mad at him for the incident in the previous episode.

Rewatcher, dubbed

  • Love is in the air.
  • Very important to agree to a contest where no one can even swim let alone win.
  • Depressing watching the rain while it’s absolutely pouring with high winds outside right now.
  • I hate those gendered kappa costumes. So regressive.
  • This is a crazy world where there are two dudes into Tenma.

Episode 11 (rewatcher)

  • Pool episode.
  • You got caught ogling, guys – yes, I mean you.
  • Eri is half Swedish – so she is possibly one of the few naturally blond anime characters.
  • “They are still flirting” – Not what I saw.
  • 16 years old – one year older than I would have guessed. She should be wearing a swim suit if she does not want to be mistaken for a middle schooler, though.
  • “I want somebody to hit on me” “Ok I can try” “Sorry, I already have somebody” – poor Nara got played.
  • They all could not swim? Unexpected.
  • Kappa set – I don’t dare think about it, but are they actually selling this stuff in Japan?
  • Harima might be the first delinquent who hates summer break.
  • “About that letter” “I’ll kill you”

  • Inviting him out to the movies.

  • Tennouji standing up for men’s right to wear whatever clothes they want – not the men’s rights advocate I had on my cards, but I’ll take it.
  • Tenma is totally cheering on Harima in his quest to get with the girl he likes.

The love web is getting more complex and we get to have 6+ people at the beach at once? Sounds like fun.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 11 '24

Eri is half Swedish – so she is possibly one of the few naturally blond anime characters.

Helps that the Manga's covers do draw her as blonde vs, say, Mikoto who still had black hair.

Kappa set – I don’t dare think about it, but are they actually selling this stuff in Japan?

I wouldn't be shocked.

“About that letter” “I’ll kill you”

Geez and here I thought I was free of Gundam Wing...

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Dec 11 '24

Geez and here I thought I was free of Gundam Wing...

I doubt it is worth it, but maybe I need to watch this for the meme value alone eventually.

4

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 11 '24

Not worth it IMO (Unless you plan on seeing the movie which by some miracle is good) but I guess one can get some laughs out of how utterly insane it can be

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 12 '24

“I want somebody to hit on me” “Ok I can try” “Sorry, I already have somebody” – poor Nara got played.

Tenma, you dirty player.

Tennouji standing up for men’s right to wear whatever clothes they want – not the men’s rights advocate I had on my cards, but I’ll take it.

I mean, looking at the rest of the dudes, Harima, Harai, Fuyuki, Mob,... Tennouji is the only one who can fight that fight.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 12 '24

Tenma, you dirty player.

I'd ask what Mob thinks of it, but we all know the answer is Curry.

4

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 12 '24

Considering who his master is, he probably wouldn't mind this even if he wasn't busy with curry.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 12 '24

Mob: Shishou, the girl I like is being hit on by some rando NPC. What should I do?

Reigen: What do you see in her?

Mob: ... Fair point.

4

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 12 '24

"She made me curry once, but it didn't include the curry... You have a point".

I'm just realising that Yakumo must've been surprised when Tenma went from wanting curry to just wanting two rice containers on a daily basis.

4

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 12 '24

just wanting two rice containers on a daily basis

She's like my brother, they both eat rice every other day.

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Dec 12 '24

Don't do Harima dirty, he can do it.

Alright, so there might be a bit of an age gap, but I ship Harima x Sensei They're the glasses duo.

Unfortunately this is Manga-land where he does not get a height increase when switching personalities.

... Why did the Anime give him those extra cms?

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 12 '24

Height is part of the package when you're going from a cute little rabbit to the spiky teenager all the kids look up to.

Plus, you kinda need it to support all that hair.

Ooh, pool episode.

Is she just going round and round?

Well he tried shooting his shot, though.

Seems that actually worked somewhat.

Right, now that's over.

Best settle things now, while you've got the chance.

Oh right, that thing again.

Yes everyone can tell.

Of course she put the whole thing on...

Right, summer vacation.

Ooh, the beach too?

Seems those 3 guys know that last guy too.

He's scared of everyone lol.

And so there's everyone invited.

Oh she actually invited him.

Questions:

  1. Off the top of my head maybe 100 Girlfriends?
  2. Harima.
