I loved that battle... It was better than the gunfights in most action anime. Especially the bit at the end.

The way Mikoto and Hanai both spoke and blushed at the same time reminded me so much of Lovely Complex :) "CHIGAUUUUU~!!!"

They should have had class D in the battle too. Then there could've been more epic fights between Lala and "ICHI-JOU!" :P

I loved it and all but, what the hell, that was a little much, I mean they never even explained how their was blood splatter and how people were dieing left and right but the movie explanation doesn't cut it... they were supposed to be playing a game not killing everyone in the class so that no-one wins...

They weren't really playing the game, we were watching a movie that they made. All the blood splatter and stuff could be explained by visual effects and makeup.

Okay... Yeah, chiming in with what others have said: the action and everything was great, as well as the randomness of it all, but what's up with all the blood splatter? I thought it was just a capture the flag game with BB games or something...

Want to get back to the main story now. XD The melodrama of this weird "arc" was certainly amusing though.

Extremely strong episodes, possibly the best in the series. Just convince yourself its real eventhough you know its gonna be a movie variant (as it turned out to be, hence explaining the blood and special effects) and the comedy of some of the scenes will be off the charts, and the drama nearly equally compelling. The bit at the end was also quite hilarious.

I'm so confused...So I thought this whole movie thing was going to be what they would display at the culture festival. And if this was a movie, why are the admins mad at them for playing "wargames"??

I'm surprised how much this arc was "hit or miss".
Personally, I absolutely loved these two episodes, the drama was hilariously good (especially if watcher keeps in mind that it's just a parody).
Don't care about the logic. It's just not that type of show :D
The only episodes it really gets serious are romantic ones (just like action scenes in Gintama)

Another hilarious episode. In the end they could've done all three things instead of one. lol

That story of the butler. I didn't expect the person he saved to be a boy. The kid looked like a girl!

This episode was better than first part of this war.

I was wondering how they will explain all that blood ;d

they should show the movie on cultural festival not the other things, but then there wouldnt be plot for it ;/

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

This and the previous episode was utter garbage...the "it's a movie" seems like a blatant excuse to put poor fillers in, remember that this is a romcom anime, shooter dragged for 2 goddamn episodes is just inexcusable...

Nagayama is super cute! Tanaka is so lucky she agreed without hesitation to a date.
It's hilarious how dramatic that Battle Royale was, and in the end, it was for nothing. I crack up all the time whenever Hanai fights Harima for Yakumo!

badass Tsumugi was way more interesting than the butler imposing himself into this plot.

...what? The (wonderful) flashback of Tsumugi without glasses is already here? She's so much prettier without, and Hanai was a class act.

Tenma? Almost forgot she was around too.What? Eri got killed (way earlier than expected) by Karasuma in person, and in front of Tenma herself? (later on... WHAT HAPPENED? He made her shoot his own chest?)

Poor Megumi, but at least it was by Mikoto's hand, another beloved character of mine.

Yeah, finally, the big showdown. But Harima, you could have just answered "NO" to Hanai's question.

...LOL, "you could have done both stage play and maid cafè to begin with"

A even bigger LOL at Hanai / Mikoto blushing in that embarrassed fashion after the classmates revealed that they witnessed him screaming her name.

This will always be the moment when School Rumble became dark... and it succeded into it like i could have never, NEVER expected. And considering how much i already adored the series before, it's something. Oh, well, there's a lot of equally more wonderful episodes arriving.

That was one of the worst episodes of any anime I've ever seen. Nothing says comedy than Tenma putting a gun to her head in attempted suicide then shooting Karasuma and having his blood splash all over her face. WTF were they thinking with this edgy garbage? This arc ruined any goodwill the first season had. I don't even care now if the rest of the season is great, the damage is done and there's no turning back. Dropped hard.

Ep2 to the first half of ep3 dragged on way too long. The gun fight felt pretty meaningless and add not much to the show.
