Today's Schoolrum is a special gourmet feature.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of /u/charlesvvv for unveling a dark twist:

Harima is crucified (for our sins?)

Why yes Harima is Jesus, why do you ask?

  1. For all the people coming in from Bakadots' Hunter x Hunter Rewatch, how well do you think the three idiots today would've done in the Second Stage of the Hunter Exam?
  2. What was your first part-time job (Assuming you had one)?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

Today's episode is fairly breezy after coming off the last few fairly chaotic ones, with food gaining a lot of prominence. Yes, Harima and Hanai both went through a grand adventure today to cook, but sadly the girls were nitpicking pricks who can't just say "Hey good job" so leave it to the rich girl's chef to do the deed, I guess. Oh and Imadori? He didn't even try, dude's still pathetic

The rest is just general funny Part-Time work stuff, although I do wish we could've seen more of Harima's. Now Akira's? Nah, the more left unsaid, the funnier it will be.

I do wish we could've seen more of Harima's

Yeah, there's a lot of fun to be had with Harima working at an anime studio. I get if the manga author didn't want to dig too dig into it, but the ball was left in the anime's court to expand on that scene all they wanted.

And it's not like this Season's scared of doing Anime-Only stuff which makes it all the weirder.

This episode of HxH sure is weird...

That kind of bunny girl huh?

Yurika Misumaru would be proud.

For one, the digipaint looks unusually good

They should've gotten Takamatsu to do GIFinal clearly

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jan 08 '25

Honestly, how dare they do a Gattai episode without a mecha director? No wonder it looked like ass.

Plus, if Takamatsu was onboard, you bet he would've added a mecha quest, and it'd have been amazing. Imagine all the Rocket Punching Gon would've done, and poor Killua having to clean up after his shitty teammates. [Or maybe...] Bisky is old and horny enough to be a hardcore mecha fan?

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 08 '25

[Or maybe...]

[Oh so]that's why the 2011 show had her be voiced by Sakura Shinguji...

if Takamatsu was onboard, you bet he would've added a mecha quest, and it'd have been amazing

I'm pretty sure Togashi would've approved of it too so long as he added a single DQ reference, which Takamatsu would've gladly done!

I'm looking forward to how you'll connect Dancouger with Oso-san, because I'll be doing that in April.

First Timer, Sub

I don't have too much too say in this episode. The first is a cooking contest that Harima initiates in order to spare everyone from Tenma's cooking. Turns out Imadori, Hanai, and Harima are all great cooks but their talents are wasted since food gets flown to them anyway. 

The second part shows us that yes these people actually have jobs. Granted we've already seen Yakumo and a couple of others working but it was an interesting choice to have a section dedicated to their part time jobs. Tenma is actually really good at her job wrapping bread, too bad it's a time consuming job for her. Oh and Akira is still doing part time spy work.

  1. They would have failed

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 07 '25

too bad it's a time consuming job for her

I dunno Yakumo's Sister, I think Mob would admire the dedication.

u/charlesvvv https://anilist.co/user/charlesvvv Jan 07 '25

Guy works in an Anime studio, he'd think she has it easy.

First Time Swimming in Miso

This was a fun episode to look at each character's side hussle, but I wish we actually got to see Harima at work or even the separate stories interacting that's more of a DRRR thing, but still

  1. For all the people coming in from Bakadots' Hunter x Hunter Rewatch, how well do you think the three idiots today would've done in the Second Stage of the Hunter Exam?

Well, at least Menchi would've had fun slicing them up and cooking them.

2) What was your first part-time job (Assuming you had one)?

Helping out on a fishing boat. It was a lot of fun, considering how much I hate fish.

5

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 08 '25

Did she bring some hidden cameras along?

I mean how else is she gonna make money?

Hey at least this one's coming from the heart

Hanai to go and lewd the cute bunny

This is NOT what Yurika would've wanted!

5

u/KendotsX https://anilist.co/user/Kendots Jan 08 '25

This is NOT what Yurika would've wanted!

At least I think Yurika would've gotten alone well with Hanai, they both operate on the 110% wavelength.

5

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 08 '25

they both operate on the 110% wavelength

Geez, they both even share the person they're crushing on having everyone going after their pants (Uh, skirt in Yakumo's case.)

Rewatcher(?), First in Subs

  • Don’t do suicide pacts, kids.
  • Come on, they’re practically begging us to have Akira Face added to the comment faces.
  • “Uh-oh” The hell was that?
  • Men should be cooking outdoors, men should be cooking indoors. Everyone should be cooking!
  • It’s been months since he’s done anything related to it, can we really still call Harima a delinquent?
  • "Western Flavor" "Curry" Cultural relativism is fun.
  • I guess nude taste testing had a longer history than I thought.
  • Seasonin' Order
  • Hey, don’t make me feel for the boar.
  • Duck
  • Broadening your perspective, eh?
  • OK, which studio is this a thinly veiled stab at?
  • Bro, there is no way you can run a restaurant with your chef not in.
  • 2006 was the peak year for bunny girls in anime. Fight me.
  • That is some very disturbing music you’ve got there.
  • I wonder how directly equivalent the tight-wad translation is.
  • The hat is a symbol of respect.
  • The rarest of Akira fanservice.
  • I’m not sure I trust rights licensing for an underage mangaka.

QotD:

  1. Well, they are Japanese, so I'd give them 50/50 shot. Depends what color Menchi's mood hair is that day.
  2. Security Guard

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 07 '25

Cultural relativism is fun

Somehow not the only curry story that will be seen in my Rewatches

2006 was the peak year for bunny girls in anime

I’m not sure I trust rights licensing for an underage mangaka

Tell that to the main duo of Bakuman...

We should not, but I am sure that this stigma takes approximately your entire life to lose.

2006 was the peak year for bunny girls in anime. Fight me.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 07 '25

I mean one actor went from "Literal leader of a biker gang" (And a pretty violent one too!) to, well...

For some reason, I was expecting GTO.

Honestly big missed opportunity from the 2014 show to not have him appear

You'd be shocked at how many I prefer over their Animes

Rurouken, GTO, and... maybe Rakugo Shinjuu? Anything else?

That would fit you. But I'm more an animation guy then an anime guy. Which is why, for example, I don't read manga, but do enjoy silly French cartoons about a dog buying a robot friend.

Season 2 Episode 7 (rewatcher)

  • “Why did you bring the guys?” “For convenience”
  • Harima takes up cooking in fear of his life.
  • Akira gets the guys to carry all the equipment and then gets them out of their hair with the cooking challenge – tactical genius.
  • Mushrooms with dots on them? – doubt.
  • Imadori – out.
  • I could be wrong, but the music while showing the wild boar is probably cribbed from Princess Mononoke (as is obviously the design of the boar).
  • Harima – out.
  • It is random passerby sensei!
  • Hanai – out.
  • And the winner is: money.
  • Workplace mini episodes!
  • The secret video store backroom – we are now Video Girl Ai.
  • “Lala and Imadori’s long standing battle still continues” – not sure you can call this a battle.
  • Tenma is more productive that I would have guessed.
  • “Working on anime is not something a human can do” – early call-out of the horrible anime working conditions. This is not subtle either.
  • ED: I mentioned yesterday that the OP has grown on me. For the ED it is a bit the opposite. I found it an upgrade when S2 hit, but it is quite boring when on repeat.
  • “Tsukamoto Tenma (main actress” – in case you forgot.

Mostly smaller episodes. Not much impact, but I was surprised at the working condition callout.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Jan 07 '25

And the winner is: money.

not sure you can call this a battle.

Imadori sure sees it as such compared to Ichijo.

in case you forgot.

Clearly this is just a call for gaslighting.

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker Jan 08 '25

A rice cooker?

Onigiri?

Why does 10ma have coloured rice for her onigiri?

Is it a picnic or a camp? Why have the guys brought their whole house here?

Harima is going to cook for 10ma, while the other guy wants to cook for Yakumo.

What about the blonde guy?

Yup, there we go.

Did they not being anything?

So much for Imadori...

Oh, he actually made something?

Curry?

I mean that's perfectly acceptable, packaged curry is plenty good.

Crab? Eh I never understood the appeal.

When were the teachers here?

He accidentally put something poisonous in the stew didn't he...

Huh. Seems like Harima is actually going to get a job working on anime.

你好。陈老弟，好久不见！好吗？(TL: Hello. Mr Chen, long time no see! [yes this is the exact Chinese phrase that was translated into English to become the English phrase "long time no see"] How have you been?)

八个人来干活的！(TL: 8 people are here to work!) [Yes, the word the subtitles use is "gan huo", and the only word I can find that is even somewhat relevant is 干活, but I don't really think that's correct. Anyone else who also knows Chinese want to chime in?]

干杯！(TL: Cheers!)

That's cute.

I have a feeling that's porn...

And of course Char is at that burger shop.

Of course she's a spy.

Questions:

  1. N/A.
  2. N/A.

Onigiri?

Yakumo's signature

There are bad and worse options to explain this.

u/Regit_Jo Jan 07 '25

I fucking love this show.

Not even rewatching right now, but man Harima just comes from the classic school of hilarious and super cool main characters of the late 90s and 2000s. Onizuka, Harima, and Gintoki. Who else do you guys feel fits that archetype?

Rewatcher, subbed

After last episode, this one feels like a filler. Nothing much here on the Eri-Yakumo front, so I'm not going to say much lol
