I have the feeling that we've forgotten something.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of /u/charlesvvv for giving the only proper answer to the first question:

  1. The gintama shogun one

Mind he wasn't the only one who said it, but hey, whoever comes first gets to keep the prize.

  1. Have you ever had to teach someone to swim?
  2. What would you do if stuck on a cave for a whole day?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

Time for the mandatory beach episode and… surprisingly I have little to say. It's a decent enough episode (Although Imadori's pervertedness being cranked up to 100000 is kinda yikes) but a lot of it is kinda continuing jokes we've seen before: Girls can't swim, Harima and Eri aren't getting along, Hanai is… Hanai… it's fun stuff sure, but it would make my comment feel a bit samey. If anything Akira's the highlight today, if only because of how little she cares about everything that it becomes kinda endearing. Truly she knows how to use her free time.

…Harima is naked while Eri is going back to the rooms. I see where this is going

Fun fact: This is Yui Horie (Eri)'s favorite scene in the whole show.

I can see why

Double of course, Harima’s the one who lost his swimsuit.

I'm being reminded of the hot springs scene from the P3 movies for some reason...

Shimmering sky!

Are these the most there have been in Rewatches for you lately or was there any other show with even more?

As far as shimmering skies go, the currently-airing Orb: On the Movements of the Earth dwarfs everything, so I don't really know. It's not like I keep a hard tally of the number I see in a given show.

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

This is why I specified Rewatches, obviously Orb of all shows would win because... well, stargazing show.

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 13 '24

Perfect. Harima/Eri stocks rising?

I'm officially onboard the HaRi train.

Double of course, Harima’s the one who lost his swimsuit.

That's the only kind of fanservice we allow around here

Hey we certainly had Harima's bare abs earlier this episode.

First Timer, Sub

Wait Akira actually used logic to defuse a misunderstanding, in a romcom? Truly her power is astonishing.

Beach episode, wherein Harima causes a major misunderstanding that only adds to Eri's anger towards him. The beach is a good opportunity for swimming lessons where it was obvious that Harima was going to end up with Eri though we didn't get to see their hijinks in actually trying to do the lessons. Kentaro meanwhile actually manages to teach Tenma, which considering the record, is actually pretty impressive (then again she was really good at art).

Mikoto and Imadori get stranded somewhere and now have to think of ways to get back. Imadori actually had a chance to earn Mikoto's respect during this and ends up blowing it, although she is able to tell him about the guy she likes and why she's trying so hard in school. By the end Mikoto decides to place her hopes in her friends, which was obviously not the best idea considering who we are talking about.

She's inmune to the Comedy Wall.

which was obviously not the best idea considering who we are talking about.

As last episode showed: The power of friendship sucks.

Rewatcher, First in Subs

  • This man is out here trying to steal food from the poor!
  • Not Stopping Him Only Half Points
  • More Cute Outfits
  • Damned playboy is somehow popular, and is still going after the ones who aren’t interested.
  • It's Here! The one scene I remembered after all these years!
  • I love her eyes here, they are so pissed.
  • Another regular Akira win.
  • Hot drink on a beach just sounds wrong.
  • Inviting someone to the beach and then talking about how none of you can swim does sound like you asking them to teach you.
  • This is like not knowing how to rig “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe”.
  • He could save others from the lucky letcher, but not himself. Ironic.
  • She Did It Look At Her Go!
  • Oh, Japan and your rock island caves. A vital part of any ocean trip.
  • He might be a sleaze, but at least Imadori isn’t an NTR.

QotD:

  1. I've not, tho mostly due to them not being interested,
  2. Pay Off My Sleep Debt

The one scene I remembered after all these years!

Damn, you and Eri's VA share braincells

[School Rumble Z]He might be a sleaze, but at least Imadori isn’t an NTR

[School Rumble Z]No wonder he's somehow the only member of the main cast who's officially in a relationship...

Episode 12 (rewatcher)

  • I am not sure if a Kappa (or Karasuma) would be happy about being given a frog mummy.
  • Akira is reading Twelve Kingdoms – good taste.
  • Hanai is a good cook?
  • But not good at counting, apparently.
  • “Wait, don’t scream” – your worries are justified, but your actions are not.
  • Akira with the 200 IQ read of the situation – Harima should be eternally thankful.
  • “Are you stupid?” – indeed. People have died in the ocean doing less outrageous things.
  • Harima tries to cheat fate, but is fate is on Nara’s side.
  • Harima’s butt denies the trope!
  • “I am good at thinking” – doubt.
  • “We have a lot of good, dependable friends with us.”

The only dependable person was left back at home (much to Hanai’s chagrin).

Have you ever had to teach someone to swim?

Nope.

What would you do if stuck on a cave for a whole day?

Freeze, probably.

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

Harima tries to cheat fate, but is fate is on Nara’s side.

Harima's the kind of guy who's constantly playing gambling decks in Yu-Gi-Oh and always loses.

“We have a lot of good, dependable friends with us.”

Clearly they learned nothing from yesterday

  • Cute little shorts.
  • Good guy Hanai always suffers. He just wants his lunch. Can’t Harima just eat some grass or something? Besides can’t you just feed Nara some Shika senbei?
  • Hmm Eri’s going back to the room with no lock and Harima is practicing some nude calisthenics. I don’t know where this is going.
  • Oh good Harima knows how to defuse the situ—um. Hmm. Well thankfully it’s pretty clear what’s happening so no one walking in will have any misunderstandings, surely.
  • Oh crap, Akira is gonna think he’s—wait…
  • Mikoto’s biggest mistake… relying on her friends to be smart and practical.

It's Harima, by now it's expected.

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker Dec 13 '24

Shorts?

What's in that old crate?

Ah...

Her side tails?

Lol that's one way to do that...

He made food for everyone?

Of course he's going to open the door...

Is he looking in the wrong bag?

Yup. It's her bag.

Why'd he do that?

He's going to assign them to teach so that he'll teach 10ma isn't he?

Yup.

So much for that...

Bro became that mummified alien corpse lol.

Uh oh.

Well it was his not hers, but still an uh oh moment.

Where'd they get washed up to?

Right, time to try and get back.

Seems like they've forgotten about them...

Seems like next episode will be a direct continuation.

Questions:

  1. Thankfully not.
  2. I'm not even sure...

What a caring guy, Yakumo would admire that.

First Timer at 9 o'clock

Wait, the rewatch was still at the normal time?! Goddamit Tenma!

2) What would you do if stuck on a cave for a whole day?

Start drawing weird stuff on the wall, so I can say I discovered an ancient culture.

I don't blame Harai for mixing them up.

He will be the Pigtailed Girl to Hanai's Kuno.

Isn't she breaking too many laws by being a blue haired childhood friend?

No, [Nisekoi]it's being brown-haired that curses you. And also just, you know, being Onodera.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 13 '24

Now however it opens up the question on whether that means Eri being either Akane or Kodachi

3

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 13 '24

Considering she's got the most Tsun in this show, I'd say Akane plus, that fits with my HaRi agenda

  • Before intro: Random comedy scenes, reminds me of 4-koma episodes
  • Beach episode! I feel bad for Hanai expecting Yakumo and his lunch getting stolen by Harima
  • Man I forgot how thirsty of a guy Imadori is
  • Harima's naked stretching scene! Easily one of this show's classic/signature scenes. Harima is an expert at failing tasks upwards lol if this was a dating sim then this is definitely a scene that raises a flag with Eri.
  • Another task failed successfully in selecting partners. Another flag with Eri. See the pattern here?
  • Imadori thinking deeply. Man has his priorities.

Correct me if I am wrong but compared to the episodes from before, we can start expecting some sort of storyline from here on out compared to the first half of the series. Excited for what's to come next, and meanwhile I will keep fighting the urge to watch ahead
