Wait a minute. I still don't know who shot J.R.
There's really nothing much to say about the show's conclusion, seeing as there's no real conclusion to speak of. There's perhaps some sort of karmic resolution for Harima, but that's about it.
Anyway, despite the show's lack of evenness in its latter half, School Rumble was a fun ride from start to finish. Obviously, comparisons to Azumanga Daioh will plague the show for all of eternity, but I think School Rumble shines in a completely different way. Whereas Azumanga Daioh suffers from a sort of terminal whimsy that grows old after awhile, School Rumble sticks to straight-shooting situational comedy. Sure, it's adventurous when it needs to be, but at its core, it's little more than your basic romantic comedy.
I'm kind of disappointed to see things come an end. Clearly, they could make more episodes - and perhaps someday they will. But, I'm smiling nonetheless. There's something perpetually satisfying about School Rumble, I guess.
Rats, must they make the next episode preview so tantalising? I wanna see Eri with a airsoft rifle giving Tenma a sound thrashing. In my dreams I guess. =P
School Rumble has been one of the better animes I've watched. I fell in love with it from episode one. They really, really need to make another season or I'll go crazy for sure.
Tenma is the cat body was so cute! I noticed that you didn't list the episode title this time though. I think it was shown in the preview at the end of episode 25, but it was insanely long!
Yeah, I didn't see much point in translating the full title. "School Rumble Forever" is actually the final, concluding phrase, so I figured it would get the job done.
Sorry, but comments for this post are now closed.
