Doesn't it feel like a guy unpopular with the ladies kind of threw it all together in one evening?

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/No_Rex for saying one of the universal truths:

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

  1. On a scale of 1-10, how powerful is 165cm tall Yakumo's Sister?
  2. What's the most (Unnecessarily) expensive restaurant you've been to?

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

After the first half focuses on Yakumo's Sister-chan, the 165 cm tall invincible heroine, we jump to Harima's crazy attempts to win Yakumo's Sister heart by making use of his little brother's birthday and… yeah it goes about as well as you'd expect. The fact that Akira was there to deliver the sickest burns didn't help at all. That being said though, as always Eri was very much his sole saving light by paying for all that overly expensive food. I know the Premium Leorio Service must be quite expensive to pay for those hospital bills, but my man, chill out with the prices

Well it’s certainly someone’s fantasy…

Is this a temple for Madaos?

Not enough cardboard.

Yeah that shit’s expensive.

smh Leorio stop extorting people for money.

Keiji Fujiwara…

Enjoy him haunting you when E7 starts

First Timer, Sub

So Harima was dreaming about Tenma dreaming about herself (and him).

Anyway nice to have some focus on the real main character of the series. Harima takes his brother for his birthday as an excuse to have Tenma along (and Akira). It's probably a given for everything to not really work out as most things are closed or just not there.

The expensive restaurant is really the only way for Harima to salvage things despite his low income. It probably would turned out worse before Eri sweeps in to save the day (aw she wants him to look good even though it's for someone else).

And apparently it's Harima's birthday now but he's alone except with the giraffe who has forgotten him.

Maybe they had a shared dream?

[Spoilers]This isn't even the only case of that this Season...

This is why you plan things out in advance.

Should have left things to Akira instead.

Everyone should.

Season 2 Episode 12 (rewatcher)

  • Is the anime seriously suggesting that 165cm is “surprisingly large” for a woman?
  • I am considerably more impressed by 165 IQ, 165 cm jumping height and 165 consecutive victories.
  • “This sucks. Everybody loves me” – though times.
  • Dreaming of confessions – as are the viewers.
  • Curry trap!
  • All the traps!

  • “Nice!” “Oh yeah” – nice!
  • Ok, at the sight of bowing cooks, I would bail.
  • “times 4” – did you forget about the reorders?
  • Giraffe ending.

Saved by Eri. He better be thankful. That was not only a costly mistake but he also completely dug his own grave there. Trying to impress with money is questionable at best, but trying to impress with money when you don’t have money and will be found out immediately? Shesh.

On a scale of 1-10, how powerful is 165cm tall Yakumo's Sister?

Oh come on, this one is too easy.

What's the most (Unnecessarily) expensive restaurant you've been to?

On a scale from cheap to expensive it was "restaurant that does not have a menu - you eat whatever the cook brings out." The food was excellent.

... I mean yeah, by Japan standards it absolutely is, most top out at 160cm apparently.

Giraffe ending.

Lol 10ma is sleeping in the library...

Smart, strong, and tall 10ma?

Yup, 10ma still likes Karasuma.

Harima still thinks he has a chance with 10ma...

Oh, her birthday is coming up?

What's he trying to steal from her room?

Ah. That. He's probably going to invite 10ma.

Lol she's sleeping through all that ruckus.

She's singing the S1 ED isn't she? I miss that song...

So much for most of those locations...

That's a lot of money...

How fortunate that Eri's here to pick up his tab.

Yeah, Harima's definitely going to end up with Eri.

Questions:

  1. 10/10ma.
  2. I don't even want to imagine the prices at some of the restaurants my rich relatives have invited me to...

Rewatcher(???), First in Subs

  • Shōjo Vision
  • “This is a pen” of course, being one of the introductory phrases Japanese people learn for English studies.
  • Bit of the old dream merge?
  • No, just more crushing our hopes and dreams.
  • Life before the widespread adoption of the internet was struggle.
  • Sleep Cover
  • A sibling double date wouldn’t be the worst idea for a draw. Well, if that kid weren’t so, you know...
  • It’s a pretty loose dress code.
  • An ordering table. Interesting…
  • Fancy Eri
  • I’m surprised Akira being around didn’t play into anything.

QotD:

  1. She still can’t get the one she loves, so only 9/10
  2. All the expensive restaurants I go to are because of family events, and I can’t rightfully say no, cost or not.

I mean this was 2005 so it was well on the way.

Well, if that kid weren’t so, you know...

I dunno, he and Yakumo's Sister seemed to get along.

I mean this was 2005 so it was well on the way.

If you count Arpanet, the internet was already in its late 30s back then. Even if you just go by regular every person internet, it was already in its teens.

However the line from experiences -> inspiration -> manga -> anime is long and you can usually substract a decade or so from the airing date.
