The captain's story was nice, he looks like the god of the sea xD
This episode felt much longer than it should be, and the ending was like WTF^^

sorry but Tenma is too annoying for me to want Kenji to actually win her over, her sister or the "rich girl" would be much preferable matches in my opinion :)

My thoughts exactly. I knew most of the stuff in this show isn't realistic but I didn't expect them to go as far as aliens. I guess that explains that UFO looking thing in the OP.

Man, and I thought it was a plot twist to see Karasuma jamming on the guitar. XD

The ending for this episode... WHAT THE CRAP. o_o

I also love how Harima thought there was no possible way anyone could tell that the characters in his comic were him and Tenma. XP

Hmm? The OP is the ED on this episode and there is no opening song at all!

I wish we could have seen more of Tenma's reaction to Karasuma sucking her finger. It would probably have been funny.

Also, Yakumo JUST noticed that the main characters in Harima's manga look like Harima and Tenma? Funny. It would be even funnier if at the end of the School Rumble manga it is revealed that Harima wrote it 0-0

Anyways, I wonder if Harima will meet the dead line or not.

The 'captain' is awesome.

The next episode looks good. But seriously, a spaceship?!? You'd think they could come up with something better, but nooo :P

I always knew their was something about Karasuma... O_o

Hahaha! AWESOME. This episode had so many great parts to it!

Yakumo finally asked Harima about the characters in his manga (I bet she noticed a looong time ago though - but held off on asking... She's sharper than that (at least I'd like to think so)). Harima and Tenma's day out shopping together was adorable. Karasuma's unveiling of his weird secret is also hilarious. XD Especially in how seriously it's being presented.

The next episode is going to be fantastic, I hope...!

Oh my god, what's up with this too drastic sudden plot change? O.O"

+1 for the manga discovery
+2 for the sudden buddah trance
+3 for the guitar pose of Katasuma
+ 4 for Karasuma sucking on Tenma's finger
+ 5 for him to walk her home (well.. letting her ride on his back)
+6 for him being from a different planet

I second that.
Tenma's cute and all but Eri or Yakumo are FAR better choices for Harima. When is he ever going to realizes that.

What the hell...I've really been enjoying this show, but the last few episodes, and now this, despite making me laugh pretty frigging hard...have been total WTF moments. I'm almost kind of disappointed with the UFO thing, it's a total shark jump!

Time for the last episode!

I find it strange that I wasn't surprised that Karasuma was an alien.

I have to disagree. Tenma might be annoying, but Kenji is in love with her. Kenji is my favorite character in this series, so I think he deserves whatever he wants.
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

That ending, I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure Tenma was just being stupid and dreaming x)
That's just way too ridiculous, even for School Rumble... But I will be laughing my ass off if he's really from another planet.

''YOU CAN READ PEOPLE HEART, RIGHT?!''
''Well, yes... but... no....''
The irony when Harima say something really stupid, but is actually right.

Hahahaha, Harima found and read the fish ship's boss' manga and found it boring.

Aww damn. That's gotta hurt Harima. Helping her choose a present for the guy she loves when it's not him. In the end he did help her.

lol at Itoko's reaction when Harima brought Yakumo to her home.

Yukumo got suspicious about Harima's manga! She knows! But ot really. Harima managed to get her away from the truth.

Nice to finally have some cute moments with Karasuma and Tenma together. That department was severly lacking.

That ending! WTF!?

I didn't expect that twist at the end, Karasuma is weirder and weirder.
I'm glad Harima returned after one episode on the land, I kinda disliked the pirates. I bet the final episode will be more ridiculous.

So the characters in Harima's manga do look like him and Tenma. I thought it was just what the audience sees. Kind of like shows where they speak English/Japanese even though the setting is a place or time where those languages aren't spoken. It's just what the audience hears.

Omg poor Harima. He's such a sweet and lovable idiot he'd rather see Tenma with someone else than get hurt. ;-;

"From now on I'll empty my mind completely". Not much of a change there, Harima. <3

As for Karasuma... the less said about him the better. >.>

WIth the way episode 23 and 24 was with the romance of Eri-Harima-Yakumo, at this point I find myself skipping any scenes that does not involve them. Its unreal how I just dont care for any other aspect of the anime anymore other than the love triangle. The standards have been raised.

Itoko's reaction was so funny! Man, she's super hot, as always!
Harima's date with Tenma is so funny, sweet, and irritating to watch at the same time. I know this kind of situation is typical with romance comedies, but I can't get used to it.

Finally, a sweet moment with Karasuma & Tenma even though it is a one-sided love affair. I'm actually rooting for them. For me, they are suitable for each other. However, WTF was that revelation in the end? That explains why Karasuma is an oddball.

I want to suck on Tenma's beautiful fingers!

didn't remember neither how the ship arc ended this fast (even recalling the spine fish pen inherited by Harima) nor the absurd UFO thing at the end (and weirdo Karasuma licking Tenma's cut finger as well)

The "fake" date hurts hard to watch for people like me heavy supporters of Harima x Tenma... and Yakumo is smart enough to see right through him (i like him, but he's over-reacting for something obvious)

So, the school music band was introduced too before season 2, even if Megumi was very different and Karasuma just for a change looked dumb in that pose. Just one more episode of season 1 and next, my favorite of the pair begins.

It's good the ship plot point got resolved, the captain was awesome, the whole shopping trip that Harima had with Tenma was adorable. Yakamo finally working out that the characters in Harima's story is actually him and her sister. My guess she twigged onto that fact earlier on but she didn't want to say anything because she's that polite of a person to do so originally.

Karasuma just playing guitar in an awkward pose. XD But I think the biggest surprise for me was definitely the UFO at the end. It's like: "What?! He was an alien the whole time!" I mean it'll certainly explain some things about him in the show but at the same time I was not expecting that. XD

So many great moments for the penultimate episode, just one more episode, just one more and we'll surely be done with School Rumble.
