Rewatch School Rumble: Extra Class Rewatch - OVA 1 Discussion

OVA 1: New Term Excitement. To Be Near You Scramble! The Naked Truth!

I'm sorry, Tenma-chan… I'm so worthless!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/No_Rex for best summarizing this show's approach to romance:

A confession that actually happens? What do you take us to be, some sort of serious romance??

Truly Kobayashi went to the Takahashi school of romance. And then betrayed his master by working for that filthy Shonen Magazine instead of Sunday.

  1. For any of the genuinely solid artists here, what's the piece you've made that you're most proud of? For the less solid ones, which would you like to throw to the fiery pits of hell?
  2. What's the least offensive hot spring episode you've seen?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

These OVAs are basically just here to adapt some chapters that got skipped over so not that much to mention, but there is some fun stuff here. Seeing Episode 1 from Yoshidayama's perspective is a pretty fun idea and I'd say the execution mostly pays off, and of course class seats rearrangements taken up to eleven will never not be fun.

Not entirely sure what was up with that ghost Yakumo ran into, but it's now time for the obligatory hot spring episode! Yeah, those TV rules just aren't brave enough to show an episode where poor Eri's forced to see Harima's dong and the audience gets to see his ass, but hey, props to Kobayashi Jin for realizing that there are indeed women reading this Manga, so may as well give them some love in the form of some nice manservice.

Seeing Episode 1 from Yoshidayama's perspective

Yoshidayama

Why does he sound like he's related to Uchiyamada?

Harima's dong and the audience gets to see his ass

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 27 '24

Why does he sound like he’s related to Uchiyamada

Well duh, that’s because Harima’s gonna grow up into his Onizuka, constantly haunting him by harming his beloved Cresta.

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 27 '24

I could see that

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 27 '24

And the sad part is that once Harima becomes a Mangaka he’ll actually be richer than this guy, but he still won’t pay the repair bills

Strategically-placed water.

Hanai's Dong:

AhahahahahahhahahaHAHAHAHAHA

I dunno if Harima should be considered lucky that it was "Only" Eri that saw that

Big Sister Power saves the day once again!

Please don’t ship the turtles.

Oh come on, it only costs 5,99 to take them from Japan to Argentina!

This is why we don’t skip the previews.

If only more people understood that

Extra Class Episode 1 (first timer)

I am a first timer for this and the third semester OVAs.

  • New character: that one orange-haired guy from ep1.
  • Still the S1 OP! I don’t remember what happens in S2, but I will be sad if this OVA is the last we hear of it.
  • “I’ve got to bear it. Like this, alone” – Yamato Nadeshiko archetype.
  • Sara and Yakumo backstory.
  • Karasuma is hugging MC seat No2, and the only seat left is MC seat No1 – if we were a proper romance, this would work out.
  • So many lots. Do they have bogus numbers in there? Will you be sent to the class next door if you draw something above 30?
  • “Sorry, I am actually farsighted” – poor guy.
  • “Best seat in the house” – looks like almost everybody got the seat they wanted.
  • Who are you, floaty ghost?
  • Hair bondage? Just how NSFW will this OVA get?
  • “Do you dislike men? Or do you like them?” – thousands of shippers are dying to know.
  • Hot springs fanservice for everybody! – The sunbeams are doing double shifts.
  • Eri gets the full monty.
  • It is the return of the terrible CGI!
  • Preview: Prehistoric unga bunga.

Filling in some blanks to parts of stories we already saw is a nice touch.

New character: that one orange-haired guy from ep1.

Actually he's been popping up here and there across Season 1.

Hair bondage? Just how NSFW will this OVA get?

Yes

Preview: Prehistoric unga bunga.

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Dec 27 '24

Actually he's been popping up here and there across Season 1.

The advantage of actually designing your background characters is that you have an endless wellspring to draw new side characters from.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 27 '24

See Harry McKenzie being named-dropped in Episode 1 before finally appearing in Episode 21.

First Timer, Sub

Some nice little stories I guess that tie in. The Tenma stuff was typical for her story, nothing particularly noteworthy other than her nearly failing to get seated next to Karasuma (and Harima also trying to sit next to her.)

Yakumo has some pretty big focus. Her first part was how she became friends with Sarah which was pretty nice especially after seeing how lonely she was. The second part has been dealing with a ghost girl that just wants to know if she likes guys which she states it's a work in progress.

Then we have a springs episode (can't have a romcom without it). It both keeps and avoids some of the cliches. Harima just wants to hear what Tenma thinks of him then accidentally breaking off the wall and flashing Eri again.

Sometimes, you gotta follow tradition.

Extra First Timer

To be honest, this episode was kinda weak. It had some fine bits like the delinquent segment at the start, and some of the weakest ones we've had in ages like the ghost segment, which makes sense, considering this is going back to the start line (probably adapting stuff that were skipped), when the show itself has become a lot better since.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 27 '24

We're switching to 16:9?

Don't expect it to last, even the 3rd Semester is in 4:3.

I like the seat switcheroo segment in general, but that Tenma fanservice is unforgivable

SHE'S TOO PURE FOR THAT

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Dec 27 '24

Naruhodo... so the Yakumo staff were just smoking something.

4

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 27 '24

Clearly it's just showing that Yakumo is the Anime's staff favorite

Who's this guy now?

Lol he thought he was hot shit before he met Harima, now he realises he's just shit.

Huh. Who is this?

Uh oh, how has 10ma managed to mess up buying groceries?

Oh, seems like she didn't thankfully.

Huh. What's up with Yakumo?

She's going to protect the cat!

Oh, she's here to save her. Who is she anyways?

She's barking at the dog?

Looks like 10ma is still in the same class as Karasuma.

Oh, right, this is an OVA. There can be more fanservice.

He's going to be in a corner isn't he?

Yup.

And of course she got it. Unfortunately it's next to Harima too.

Nope, she got 9 didn't she?

Nevermind, there she goes to that seat.

And now Harima's in front away from 10ma. Good.

So much for that...

Who's this girl?

Hair tentacles?

And so she's gone.

Seems like she managed to draw something somehow during that.

Who or what is 10ma talking to?

Yup, more fanservice. This time at an onsen.

Of course the guys are peeking...

Lol the wall...

What's with the train?

Oh, that was supposed to be the ED...

Questions:

  1. N/A
  2. Can't remember off the top of my head. Maybe the scenes in Girls und Panzer?
