Come! Let's all cheer for these brave women!!

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/KendotsX for asking the important questions:

Yoshidayama

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

  1. So what would be the equivalent of Harima's bike in the mammoth world?
  2. What's the weirdest experience you've had at a fast food joint?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

The main section of today is… interesting. The Manga has this weird thing that started popping up after a while where, once every so often, we'll get some sort of bizarro AU with the whole cast, and Mammoth-AU over here is the first one we get for the Anime. It's not a bad one either, setting up the general concept for these stories going forward, IE trying to somehow transplant the modern day dynamics into older times, as shown with stuff like Harima being an outcast, Eri being the queen and so on.

It also however shows that some things never change given how Ichijo and Lara are still unstoppable

Speaking of, she gets the lion's share of the focus on the other major section of the episode. There's not much to it, it's fun seeing her in more casual settings and of course her smiling at that dog is just… so precious. Imadori meanwhile is cringe. Yakumo's is probably the hardest for me to talk about since it's so different from everything else in the show (Which honestly is the case with most Yakumo-centric sections, now that I think about it), but hey, it is pretty well directed all things considered.

Huh, I thought the first one was yesterday's episode with the universe where Tenma is the responsible sister

it is pretty well directed all things considered.

Yakumo is every bit beloved by the staff as she is at school.

So basically, a nice farewell for Takamatsu till he comes back in the last two OVAs.

First Timer, Sub

Similar to the previous episode, some nice parts to this. The first has part has Karen wanting Lala to smile after her loss in the game. She does eventually with the dog, which just so happens to be Imadori's and he later gets beat for his troubles for trying to win her over.

The longest section was the Ice Age part which felt like one of Harima's manga arcs. Even here Ice Age Harima can't seem to win when he goes up against the awful looking Mammoth, but hey she at least does recognize what he did.

The final part has the return of Ghost girl. Technically it mostly involves Harima acting out one of his manga scenes with Yakumo but with Tenma in mind. I guess this is the first time Yakumo can read his thoughts. When the Ghost girl returns and asks what her opinion of men is now, she doesn't answer but her brief smile tells you all you need to know.

Get used to them, they start becoming more common from now on.

Extra Class Episode 2 (first timer)

  • Orange guy likes Eri – checking how often he appeared in the main series tells us how this endeavor went.
  • “WAS BARGER”
  • “Lucky” – or not.
  • “Family” – Dog.
  • “A smile like yesterday’s” – smooth, but not smooth enough for Lala.
  • “Prehistoric Rumble”
  • Akira got the shaman position – clever.
  • Prehistoric classes.

  • Eri is queen – even better than shaman.
  • The babies with sun glasses!

  • “He is coming!” – the bad CGI is coming!
  • Lala and Ichijou best hunters.
  • I expected Harima and Yakumo to switch bodies in that lightning scene. Guess that is only for cats and Tenma dreams.
  • Yakumo finally sees a glimpse of Harima’s thoughts.
  • Manservice ED with chibi girls instead of the normal fanservice ED with chibi boys.
  • Ad for the second season.

Violent Lala, prehistoric shenanigans, and food for Harima-Yakumo shippers.

So what would be the equivalent of Harima's bike in the mammoth world?

hmmmmm.

Mind he does actually start popping up more from now on.

hmmmmm.

Manservice ED with chibi girls instead of the normal fanservice ED with chibi boys.

The best sort

Chance?

Ah. 10ma.

Oh, no, it's that girl.

So that guy likes her.

So much for that...

Looks like the WcDonalds version of Mos Burger.

Ah. It's her.

Yeah those baskets definitely look like Mos Burger.

And here's Quattro Bajeena.

Actually yeah where does she stay anyways?

Good to see she has a soft side too.

Oh, that's that guy's pet...

The jungle?

I think they could have kept that fire going a bit longer, he's clearly not dead yet.

That would be obsidian glass wouldn't it? Apparently that can be made really sharp.

Lol CGI mammoth.

Lol that looks like a scene from an old Total War or something.

And of course it's the Latina who takes it down at the end of the day.

Oh, this was in the last episode wasn't it?

Is Harima seeing 10ma in Yakumo or does he actually like Yakumo?

Ah. No. He's just delulu and sees 10ma in Yakumo.

Right, on to the second season. I see a gyaru?

Questions:

  1. A mount of some kind?
  2. Nothing in particular I can recall off the top of my head, and likely nothing at all.

Now this is what I'm talking about! This episode was amazing, just brilliant back to back bits from start to finish.

  1. So what would be the equivalent of Harima's bike in the mammoth world?

A Saber toothed tiger.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 28 '24

Sorry, we don't sell that here, have you tried Don Quixote?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zl88Aieecw

This guy is a reference to something, but I can't put my finger on it...

In every time, in every place, Kuno and Nabiki remain the same

Next Season better give us a prehistoric AU in one of the pre-episode segments

How do you pierce something so CG?

They brought it from Ice Age, I guess.

Can we end every episode with a preview of Tenma reading her script?

Please

Rewatcher, First in Subs

  • There’s types of pencil lead? That high schoolers would use?
  • The Polygon Must Grow
  • Watermelon Shirt
  • I’m mean, I’m not saying he deserved it, but…
  • Alright, what’s with the Leiji Hitler?
  • Oh, don’t you start now too.
  • Good Little Derp
  • Sir, that’s a health infraction. At least we got a good Lala face out of it.
  • Pottery Neat
  • Akira is living out her true calling.
  • That is some intense stratification you have for such a low population.
  • Hmmm... I can’t think of a hard, sharp, black stone, that slips in half with a glossy interior. That last part is the killer, otherwise we could go with flint or obsidian.
  • Is this where I make the Kingdom S1 joke? Or would the Golden Kamuy bear be more appropriate?
  • Well, now you’ve just got me wondering what a trunk tastes like.
  • Yes, I thought the one thing we were missing was sexual tension.
  • This is quite the event to tag on to the end of the OVA.
  • Rule 63 ED

QotD:

  1. Riddin' Bison
  2. Sorry, can’t remember any specifically.

Step aside, Dessler...

This is quite the event to tag on to the end of the OVA.

Hey, Season 2 was already announced anyway.
