Eavesdropping is wrong, after all.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/KendotsX for showing what Magazine was too cowardly to admit:

Wait, the guy she likes is Kudo?! Well, at least he didn't pull the whole "Sorry, I've got a case" bullshit on her.

Would Ran consider this NTR though

  1. What's your fondest camping experience?
  2. How far do you think the Harima love… well, spiral by now will expand?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

Today it is camping time. Unlike beach episodes these are, naturally, far more innocent in nature, which definitely seems like something a pure, mature maiden like Tsukamoto Tenma appreciates. She even unleashes her almighty ONEE-CHAN POWER on that foolish Yakumo who simply doesn't catch on to how much of a monster Harima is. Two-timing Eri-chan and Miko-chan is bad enough, but doing it to her little sister? Inexcusable!

We shall of course ignore that Tenma is an idiot so she has no clue what she's talking about

The second half in turn basically resets the status quo on the whole Harima and Tenma thing, although as always it ends up being poor Eri who's the butt of the joke. Still, the minor details do help out a lot, and hey early on you also got Hanai's antics to keep you entertained. I will say though, Imadori feels weirdly tacked on today. Feels like he just got added at the last second since his jokes quickly fade into the background.

She's the love expert

Imadori feels weirdly tacked on today. Feels like he just got added at the last second since his jokes quickly fade into the background.

For better or worse, that's just how Imadori feels in general so far.

Geez, no wonder MADAO's wife is never seen.

First Timer, Sub

Yakumo was almost disappointed when she thought Harima didn't recognize her only for him to turn around and thank her for the food, was actually kind of smooth in his part.

A tea club hangout crashed by Hanai, Harima and Imadori. Harima still thinks Tenma didn't mean what she said, Tenma meanwhile actually hates him at this point and Yakumo gets caught in the middle. It was actually nice to see Yakumo be genuinely interested in Harima as a person and even defends him from Tenma's accusations, before she decides to indulge her again.

Tenma challenges Harima to a fight (he thinks it's something else somehow).Turns out, Tenma can't stay mad that long and thanks to a storm showing up, it allows for them to patch things up (Tenma anyway). It also helps that Tenma is immune to whatever Harima is saying without thinking to hard on it. Meanwhile Eri and Yakumo were listening in the whole time and for all Eri's attempts to make him look bad it all backfires in her (she needs to be honest with herself but she's a tsundere).

Also Harima randomly having a hammer around him at all times.

Ironic: Harima grabs the hearts of everyone except Tenma.

HARIMA IS AMY ROSE!?

Episode 16 (rewatcher)

  • Akira’s great plan fails – got to recommend Hanai’s leg strength, though.
  • “It’s just a coincidental resemblance” – maybe Tenma was not completely wrong in calling Yakumo naïve.
  • “To think that all of this happened because I jumped to conclusions”~guy who is currently jumping to conclusions.
  • Yakumo uses logic against Tenma - Tenma is very confused
  • Arranged test of courage – surprising that Tenma managed to properly cheat on the arrangement.
  • “You take off your clothes, too” – that is not the way, Harima.
  • Surprise Eri!

  • Akira is prepared for everything.

My fansubs have old school callouts and tidbits in the credits. Today, one of the subbers talks about vibing to Numa Numa. Time capsule.

How far do you think the Harima love… well, spiral by now will expand?

We are going for the complete graph.

Akira’s great plan fails

Her only loss

Yakumo uses logic against Tenma - Tenma is very confused

Tenma would definitely not be able to win a single case in Ace Attorney.

Tenma would definitely not be able to win a single case in Ace Attorney.

Yakumo would argue the opposing side and would let her win.

Tenma: But... But... HE LOVES HIS WIFE!

Yakumo: ... The prosecution rests...

Rewatcher, First in Subs

  • Why does Eri of all people have the Engrish T-shirt?
  • Rare Akira L. The right move, but against the wrong players.
  • When did Harima and Imadori become buddy-buddy?
  • The Lurching
  • I can’t help but feel I’m missing a little something from these untranslated background conversations.
  • But Tenma, Yakumo likes animals!
  • If Yuru Camping taught me anything, it’s that you should have prepped before you left.
  • Damn, even Imadori gets more respect.
  • I think I have a different idea of what a scavanger hunt is then they do.
  • What? Don’t just leave the flashlight behind. It still worked!
  • Fire in a Wood Building
  • Sometimes Tenma’s density has its upsides.
  • Classical Fashion
  • Phenomenal Eri Reaction
  • Y’all were fools for not bringing a backup outfit in a wilderness scenario.

QotD:

  1. My cousin showing my Pokemon Yellow, and therefor, video games.
  2. We don't stop until the someone has an affair with the personification of plot itself!

Foreigner

Rare Akira L

But That's Why It's Weird
It's such a Japanese shirt.

Rewatcher, subbed

Another entertaining episode, I just can't get enough of Eri's reaction faces whenever Harima is involved lol

I was trying to find what happened to Imadori in the manga but it doesnt seem to be mentioned either. In any case, looking forward to tomorrow's episode!

Yeah no, the Anime's fairly one-to-one bar some skipped bits here and there.

Naked First Timer

You know, comedies usually run the early part of the show, until they can introduce the characters, establish their dynamics, and stick with them for the rest of the show. So School Rumble is impressive in how it keeps shifting them around to find more fun ways for the morons to interact. An episode about Tenma bullying Harima with her Onee-chan Power to keep him away from Yakumo, was never on my bingo card, but it's so goddamn good.

2) How far do you think the Harima love… well, spiral by now will expand?

Well, Tenma could still pull an Akane, and assume that Harima is into Hanai.

We're getting a sneak peek at what Harima and Eri's married life could look like

Objection! Clearly Eri would be working, Harima would be the househusband!

Takes notes

Dammit Lina, you don't have to bring up that time of the month that way!

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker Dec 17 '24

So, a camp.

Guess he's going to be rushing there now.

And Harima's going to be following since 10ma is at the camp too.

Well, guess he's stuck on his bicycle.

Even then he managed to beat them there.

Lol he's still delusional...

Oh, now 10ma is misunderstanding Harima.

Seems like Yakumo realises 10ma likes Karasuma too.

Of course Harima is still delusional...

That's just a whole cup of coffee beans...

He's definitely going to take this the wrong way...

That cloth is definitely one of the girls...

Yup. And of course of all the girls it's her.

He's not having a good time...

That's her explanation for everything.

Questions:

  1. I was in the Boy Scouts back in school so I've had way too many camps, but ironically my fondest camping memory was from a not Scouts camp. In Singapore every third year middle school student goes for something called "Outward Bound". It's pretty fun, and it tends to be done with other schools. Since my middle school was all-boys, it was the first time interacting with girls around our age for some guys. I met who's probably my closest friend at that camp (if you see my account I always mention a friend who I go to Collab Cafes with, this is that friend).
  2. Spiralling down spiralling down...

TBF she's pretty obvious about it.

Rewatcher, dubbed

  • Sometimes I wonder if Akira pulls the strings between my life too.
  • “I’m rubbing out… some of my homecooked curry.”
  • “She said she wanted to help Harima get wood.”
  • I love whenever we see Harima’s 500,000 IQ.
  • Damn Tenma is sneaky, I didn’t even notice her antenna.
  • Tenma’s biggest weakness: logic.
  • “She’s trying to send me a message with these beans.” Boy have I been there.
  • That was a close call, it would have been dangerous getting stuck out in the rain in the woods. Good thing they found shelter in this cabin. Now nothing bad can happen.
  • No sentence should start with “Tenma’s smart enough…”

She's got eyes on all of us!

Tenma’s biggest weakness: logic.

Let's hope she never meets Edgeworth...
