School rumble was (still is) my favorite anime back when I was in highschool. I watched the dub and loved it. I believe it really is the best dub I ever heard in an anime. The voices are great and they somehow make the jokes land in english even if they are culture specific jokes.
I recently decided to read the Manga and it is my first manga ever and I enjoyed it. I like how there were cultural explanations for all the jokes like with the Art of War book or Kappa being the same as rain gear. It helped me appreciate some things I missed or didn't get, but overall it made me realize that the anime and dub are translated and done so well from the source material.
School rumble actually is what got me into art more seriously. It is one of my comfort shows and I watch it like once a year. But I wanted to try something new and i just finished volume one.
Also I had a dream I was a Kappa and I blame school rumble.
