something tells me that the whole thing could have been avoided if madoka had simply asked her boyfriend to change his vote ;)

HAHAHAHA that was hilarious.

Really random, reminded me of Battle Royale without the actual death and gore.

Very good. The bit with Madoka was the best. "I'm sorry, but I really want to try on a maid outfit" *shoots him*

when I saw this episode I was like, "WHAT? Oh come onnnn! What kind of sick joke is this?" No way would anyone in there right mind actually allow a war at school with actual guns and killing. Absolutely stupidest way to settle an argument. But then I made up my mind at the end that somehow this was fake (but didn't know how).

lol, are they really battling? This must battle must fake or something. At first I thought they were gonna use BBguns (spelt wrong or something) or those ones that squirt out paint really hard.

But they're using real ones XP

F**k. Awesome music. Survival game for the sake of school festival.
Killing each other.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

I can't believe a whole episode was dedicated to deciding on one thing. Sure sounds like School Rumble. Still, it's pretty hilarious at times, and fun to watch.

Pure gold, this reminds me of Stella C3 only the bullets are real (kind of?). Leave it to School Rumble to defy logic for entertainment. I hope the swimsuit sumo team makes a comeback somehow, just because ;).

Awesome, fun episode!

It really looked like the bled when they got shot.

That drama between Madoka and Shigeo was hilarious!

That twist at the end. That wasn't Eri! I was her butler! Hahahaha!

The game idea was great, but the way it was done.. it was not satisfying at least it is not over yet.

lol the butler

and the rules are unfair or not set too well

It was funny episode but I really think that it could be masterpiece if it was thought out a little better.

btw I am starting to like opening song ;d
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)

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 ;)

@nerojeko It's the 2nd series, what did you expect? (also, be warned the whole series is made like that)

nerojeko said:

No, that's not true. This is the first time the show went from romcom to goddamn shooter.

Oh, of course, if you're only counting the "shooter" themed episode. I was considering the other things used for comedy in the Znd series too.
Anyway, the problem seems to be that you expected a romantic intrigue with comedic elements when this is actually a comedy with romantic elements (used simply as triggers for the humour, like most things/activities featured in both TV series).
Just like I was deceived by Ranma 1/2 when I discovered it.

A full episode of high schoolers shooting eachother. It was great, I'm surprised it wasn't settled this episode. Apparently Ichijou knows how to sing and she's in Karasuma's band, she needs to score more points with Imadori. Everything was great, can't wait for ep3.

Very weird direction they took. Especially the blood on downed victims. And at the end they say "School Comedy". I did really like this episode, great anime overall I really did enjoy the first season and I'm rooting for Harima and Hanai all the time. Hope they get eventually their love.

Dried-up Harima & Hanai cracks me up so much.
I like this Battle Royale parody. Now this is the actual School Rumble! I also liked it when they played songs during the fight scenes for extra dramatic effect.

MAI <3 poor wonderful lady, these classmates can be seriously obnoxious.

"three votes to the stage play!" "FIVE VOTES TO THE MAID CAFE'!"

"YOUR VOTE COUNTS ONE AS THE ONE OF EVERYONE ELSE!"

...what? Akira decided the survival game? Unbelievable, but, oh, well, whatever, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Yeah, the third club is going to wipe out everyone... Nishimoto can't even hide himself in two full lockers.

The fourth club... nice on their part to see them contributing to the soundtrack. Oh, yeah, the third club already retired.

"And the other guy is here too" "WHY NOBODY REMEMBERS MY NAME?" (to be honest, i don't either)

The dating couple was dragging on their scenes, but luckily Mai cut them short. Badass.

Poor music club, forced to join this (amazing) dark survival game arc.

Not the best cliffhanger, but i'm not complaining. Why? Because the new ending theme song is BEAUTIFUL.

One more. Every time this arc is a joy to watch.

LMAO no way they went this deep for a cultural festival activity vote. I'm not sure I even know who I want to win either I just want to watch the battle! Also Ichijou on the mic giving us the perfect battle ballad was top tier. I love this show it's hilarious and unhinged
