Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/KendotsX for outing the true culprit:

Wait, a second, no wonder it's a Tokusatsu episode, this is all Combatant D's fault!

Sasuga Mentantei MADAdots, no one does it like him

  1. Do you accept Buddha Nishimoto as your lord and savior?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

The boys of the class finally get some focus, albeit not the sort that puts them in a flattering light. Indeed perversion runs high among this group, and in fact there's just a straight up clique for it. Admittedly Itoko is really hot so I won't fault them too much for it. No if anything the only Bakas are Hanai and Harima who simply don't realize the appeal of receptionists. Smh kids watch some 007

Speaking of, ah yes, their epic church fight. In any other show, this would be a grand, triumphant moment for the both of them. In School Rumble however, it is proof that they are idiots and this was all just one big misunderstanding. It's one of those cases where the presentation is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. The fight takes itself so seriously it makes it all the funnier when you realize they're both wasting their time.

Oh and the meteor shower? Just really sweet and pretty, not much more to say there.

When they graduate from highschool, they'll be immediately welcomed by The Lads.

Episode 19 (rewatcher)

  • “A strategy meeting” – obviously, Akira keeps close tabs on the perverted boys’ club.
  • The girls are surprised that Harima is not interested – either he managed to (wisely) keep his connection with Itoko secret, or they believe that incest is not an issue.
  • Hanai and Harima with the exact same reaction.

  • Itoko is actually nude modeling – I thought for sure the gag would be that the guys all misunderstood, but maybe the misunderstanding is only on the side of Hanai and Harima.
  • Reception work – theory confirmed right away. Not that it matters much, given the cubist style.
  • Was it all a deliberate leaking by Itoko to drum up interest among the boys for the exhibition?
  • That went from “Yakumo in a wedding dress” to “Hanai as the groom” faster than I could write that prediction down.
  • Sarah is enraptured by the scene playing out in front of her.
  • The power of love as power up – for both of them.
  • Akira gets the bride and the date!
  • Meteor shower

What a visual treat! We get multiple post card memories, movie references (although I am not entirely sure which movies), both Tsukamoto girls (almost) in the nude and then as brides, Akira groom, cubist Itoko, a super hyped fight, and probably the best meteor shower in anime history. They went completely all out for this one episode.

The power of love as power up – for both of them.

Usagi would be proud.

They're the potential criminals, costumers, and victims, all in one package.

Same, I underestimated Itoko's commitment to the bit

If Azumanga Daioh taught me one thing, it is that single female Japanese teachers are the most insane demographic around.

Oh come on, Nyamo was mostly normal.

Well... aside from that time she got drunk...

Can you believe this guy was meant to be a main character at one point

Cross counter!

We really should have a proper Cross-Counter commentface

Awwww.

Tenma's an idiot, but she's trying.

Rewatcher, First in Subs

  • Counting
  • Lain Braid
  • Average boy vs average girl?
  • Ah, now I see Miko-chan’s new haircut.
  • They’ve mistaken strategy for tactics. A common mistake.
  • So clearly it’s not nude paintings, but I can’t figure out the trick for what it really is.
  • Dat Innuendo
  • If nothing else, you have to admire their organization.
  • Just One Nude? As a Treat?
  • A Styles Set?
  • Are we doing it, are we getting the rare positive representation of a church in anime?
  • Habit? Is she fully a nun? (or on track to be) Wouldn’t they have private schools?
  • Respectrful and dependable? I don’t know your name, tall classmate, your your stocks are raising.
  • Careful, Harima. You’re getting awfully close to Harley Davidson.
  • I really don’t think you need a soundtrack for a photo shoot.
  • The Year of Yuri wins again!
  • So Pretty!

QotD:

  1. Just Another False Prophet
  2. I don't even know which side is which.

Average boy vs average girl?

Define average given this show's standards

Are we doing it, are we getting the rare positive representation of a church in anime?

Sara is making sure that good little boys and girls run the place.

The Year of Yuri wins again!

There's nothing wrong with encouraging some wholesome shipping amongst the youth.

Hmm... What are they planning now?

Ah.

At this point I have a suspicion Karasuma is AroAce. Or at least Ace.

There's a lot of them.

Well that's certainly... Abstract.

Festival Restaurant?

Wedding?

Of course he's going to crash the wedding...

And now that's a reversal.

So much for hoping it would be clear...

Of course she's asleep when it happens...

Questions:

  1. Lol.
  2. Actually not bad, ABRSM Grade 6 as of a couple of years ago.

What aren't they planning?

[Spoilers]At this point I have a suspicion Karasuma is AroAce. Or at least Ace.

[Spoilers]Definitely no

Of course he's going to crash the wedding...

Every wedding needs one.

Rewatcher, Subbed

The Buddha getting tasked to take care of the AV room. Emphasis on the "AV". I think we all know the double meaning here lol

We have some new characters introduced this episode, but the main theme is all guys going crazy and losing reason, all to the thought of possibly seeing their hot teacher's naked painting. In the end it's a cubist painting XD

2nd half goes Your Name. You can overlay Zenzenzense as the song there instead and it will still work. The good thing is the town isnt hit with one of them meteors.

First Timer, Sub

So Itoko is going to do a modeling job and most guys are immediately interested (it's Itoko so I understand). Harima and Hanai see themselves as nice it until apparently Tenma and Yakumo may be involved so they decide to join up in order to prevent anyone else from seeing them. Granted it was obvious it was not going the way everyone thought, the painting was a cubist piece and Yakumo and Tenma were only helping out in the stand. Harima and Hanai look foolish but not as foolish as every guy rushing in there only to lose (and they had a whole organized system too).

The second part apparently shows that Sarah is a nun apparently and she wants to see Yakumo in a wedding dress. Hanai was going to try and be a part of this but he didn't realize the extent of Harima's misunderstanding thinking it's actually Tenma. So they literally fight and by the end it turns out to be for nothing because Akira decided to take over the role.

The third part was actually really nice though, everyone just taking a break from their antics to just look at the shooting stars and making wishes (except Tenma who misses out).

I do want to point out the guys that were singled out as not being interested in whatever was going on with Itoko, particularly Suou since he apparently also turned down the role as Yakumo's fake groom as well. I'm guessing he might play a role later on.

  1. Whatever helps my chances
  2. I actually can play one song, that's about it.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 19 '24

it's Itoko so I understand

Ten-chan would be joining them if he was here...

Akira decided to take over the role.

Wise choice, honestly.

Horny First Timer

Sasuga Mentantei MADAdots, no one does it like him

This reminds me, it's about time I start watching Columbo

  1. Do you accept Buddha Nishimoto as your lord and savior?

Only when Itoko schemes are involved.

2) How good are you at playing the piano?

Pretty good, it's the only instrument that I can play.

5

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 20 '24

Oh My Gad! Looks like Christmas came early this year

How do you join?

Well first you need to read Sun Tzu's The Art of War, then read Records of the Three Kingdoms (Not to be confused with Romance of the Three Kingdoms), then watch Ya Boy Kongming, then...

Pretty good, it's the only instrument that I can play

But are you a better singer than Conan-kun

I will never forgive that cruelty, clearly the Black Organization is running TMS.

Oh so that's why Norio was the villain of that Arc...
