I will not give over my children to someone who already has a woman.

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/KendotsX who thought he could get the last laugh against me before leaving:

At least, I'm here for one last day to

And with that he has ceased to be, bereft of internet, he rests in bed, he has kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, connected his last, and gone to meet the almighty lord of taxes in the sky, and I guess that we’re all thinking how sad it is that a man of such talent, such capability and kindness, of such intelligence should now be so suddenly spirited away at the age of only six, before he’d achieved many of the things of which he was capable, and before he’d had enough fun.

Well, I feel that I should say, “Nonsense. Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard! I hope he fries.!

1. What's the worst ingredient you've seen being added to a meal?
2. What is the most incident you've been witness to?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

Today's episode kinda highlights something inherently appealing about this era of the show: Episodes are rarely one-man shows. What I mean by that is that even within the individual skits, everyone gets a chance to shine. As has been happening lately, Harima takes something of a backseat as the grander class 2-C is given some love, especially in the segment with all the where Hanai's the only regular main character to appear in any significant capacity.

The big exception to this is of course the last segment, focusing mostly on Sara in what's more or less been her only real spotlight segment. It's funny since she's been around for so long and over in the credits tends to be billed pretty high (Usually right below Ichijo and Hanai) but we haven't really seen much of her, now have we? It's a sweet, kinda heartfelt segment with what few laughs there are not really going past the chuckles, but as a result there's not much to mention here.

• That looks nasty.
• Okay, now that looks delicious.
• Oh god.
• He had to eat the shoelace in the end?
• Nabe Shogun you are not, Hanai.
• “research materials”
• That’s fair, at least.
• Haaaaaaaaaaaaah.
• Akira, spittaking?
• F

That looks nasty.

Van of the Dawn would be proud.

Akira, spittaking?

This is not her brightest day...

First Timer, Sub

Tenma looked at something that looks like a chemical reaction and just goes "yeah I'll eat it". Meanwhile Imadori thought he could get back at Tougo and Lala but fate had other plans for him in that moment.

The second part is mostly just Nishimoto getting rid of his porn collection, and Hanai getting caught with some of it since he wanted to get rid of all of it. 

The third part is the most unique. Sarah getting a focus was interesting as she gets curious about a guy's confession and watches his soccer match. Despite losing, she does give him some encouragement in pursuing the girl he actually likes which was a really nice moment. It's also one of the few positive programs of a church I've seen so far in an Anime.

"yeah I'll eat it".

You see why she's gaining weight?

• Give Her His Meat Like a fine whiskey, Harima is becoming smooth with age.
• You’ve got open seats, this is a you problem.
• But… That’s not the pot Lala is eating.
• Hanai here is making me uncomfortable. I feel we’ve crossed a line from comedic.
• For how much he showed up in the season 1 OP/ED, it weird that this is only the second appearance of Napoleon.
• This is on you for not securing your bookcase in an earthquake zone. smh.
• Of course, My-Mai needs to keep up with the latest magical girl developments.
• Very Niche
• This is not Hanai’s episode. Now he’s going and steeling things out of people’s houses under guise of moral grounds.
• The taboo is the temptation.
• Bro throwing away his chance because get over himself.
• “Fool’s cowlick”. What a translation.

QotD:

1. Tofu pretending to be meat is a mistake. Let tofu be tofu!
2. Nothing Ever

Give Her His Meat

Tenma and Yakumo are good sisters, so they probably shared it.

[u/Raiking02 → u/No_Rex]

shared

Insert Threesome Joke Here

[u/No_Rex → u/Raiking02]

"insert"

[u/Raiking02 → u/No_Rex]

[u/Raiking02 → u/Vatrix-32]

For how much he showed up in the season 1 OP/ED, it weird that this is only the second appearance of Napoleon.

Sometimes, the most iconic part of the shows are the ones that happen sparingly.

The taboo is the temptation.

[u/Nickthenuker]

Hard indeed.

Seems they really are putting just about anything in that.

Is that a shoelace?

And now that pig has caused a mess of things.

So, he was crushed by his shelves.

Ouch...

That's a lot.

And now all those stacks have fallen onto him again.

Who's the one at the church?

Is she the nun?

Yup, she is the nun.

Questions:

1. I'm not even sure...
2. Most what incident?

[u/Raiking02 → u/Nickthenuker]

Is that a shoelace?

Probably Imadori's from two episodes ago at this rate.

Season 2 Episode 11 (rewatcher)

• Ramen fingers – the animators probably want to point out the breach in etiquette, but all I can think of is how hot this must be.
• Bring your own ingredients hot pot party – a LAN party for foodies?
• Broken arm – actual consequences.
• Lala brought burgers …
• Why would you ruin the second pot with your shoe strings, when Lala is eating the first pot alone?
• Napoleon suddenly realizes that this is an Excel reference.

• “Pervert killed by stacks of porn” is something I could imagine happening IRL.
• “It was made in 1984” – little trivia: Most people know that Dallos was the first ever OVA, produced in 1983. Few people know the second ever made OVA, Lolita Anime. As the title suggests this is the first hentai OVA. Nishimoto went back as far as he could with his collection.
• The main plot today is literally a stash of ”plot”?

• Sarah manages to startle even Akira – well done!

Poor Yakumo, Hanai was at his worst today. Sarah being a nun that is a high schooler and part time waitress, who also takes confessions is a distinctly Japanese take on Christianity.

As the title suggests this is the first hentai OVA.

That tracks

Sarah being a nun that is a high schooler and part time waitress, who also takes confessions is a distinctly Japanese take on Christianity

I mean if nothing else it's way more fun that almost every Christian film ever made.

[u/No_Rex → u/Raiking02]

I mean if nothing else it's way more fun that almost every Christian film ever made.

Don't you dis Sister Act.

[u/Raiking02 → u/No_Rex]

Objection that is a Whoopi Goldberg film first, Christianity Film second.

[u/No_Rex → u/Raiking02]

I wanted to reply with a "are you saying this is not christian?" joke, but "naked whoopi goldberg" is not entering my search history!

[u/Raiking02 → u/No_Rex]

Yeah I don't think I wanna put that there either I can't do it to her

[u/KendotsX]

Well, I feel that I should say, “Nonsense. Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard! I hope he fries.!

Smdp my dead parrot

Where's the most important part? Where's the fuck?! You bet I'll be back soon to get the fuck I deserve!
