| [SPOILERS AHEAD] I really liked this OVA, I felt that it gives more closure than the second season's ending. I've never really liked Karasuma because I thought that he was just weird, in his own world, arrogant and selfish in always running away and not respecting Tenma's feelings. Someone should give Harima the 'world's most devoted man' award. He likes Tenma so much that it's kind of annoying. But well, loyalty and self-sacrificial traits are still greatly needed in our world, so kudos to him for his undying dedication to her throughout all 54 episodes. I think the lack of a happy ending makes the anime a bit more realistic. After all, such is the reality and complexity of high school relationships. Full of dreamy fantasies of one-sided crushes which if they really come true, then lucky you. On the overall, I think it was the interesting characters that made me stick with this series to its end. I'm definitely gonna miss the kurukumawaru times. |
| I didn't read the manga but it seems like this show was meant to be another 26 episode season but they skipped the first 24 episodes of it... sorta disappointing. I really wanted to see what happened in between- the glimpses of it looked really interesting. I hope the manga doesn't end here (or are these two episodes the ending of the manga?) and there's a better ending than this one. Can anyone tell me if this is the actual ending to the SR manga? Or is there more to come? (Just wanna know if Harima and Eri end together) |

Anything as good as that. |
| Friends helping, Itoko drinking Asahi beer ;d I hate how Hariima talked to Eri ;/ He deserved to get beaten up for that ;o but that with Karasuma was too serious for this anime ;/ and it felt cliche it reminds me a little of Tomoyo After. Still, Harima not getting any girl in the end is bad ;/ and Tenma is only half happy. Yakumo, Eri also deserved some love ;/ Suou was in wedding dress in op, but none of that happened? Hanai also left alone... I understand why people are not satisfied with this ending ;/ It was good in a way and if they wanted to finish it like this then they did ok to show it in 2 episode anime. |
| (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 ;) |
| After just finishing the manga (since I heard that the 1st OVA skimmed through 100 chapters of arc) I was so disappointed to learn that they actually just animated the fucking pie ending in the manga. Seriously. At least make it an actual OVA (ORIGINAL video animation) not some fucking worst ending I've seen adaptation. At least it's lovely to see that Eri beating him up scene, although would've been even better if they adapted the scene where Eri asked him to be her fake fiancee. Fucking axed slapped in the face ending. |

| I'm not satisfied on this ending. I feel like I missed a lot of things. |

| Quite the bad ending for this show. Not only did they not solve any of the relationship issues, they also squeezed some drama in the last two episodes and used almost non of the great school rumble comedy. The ratings are quite justified for this episode. |
| Two episodes were rather weak and I'm not satisfied with the "conclusion", but since it's School Rumble it's still ok. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| THE FEELS 9/10 omfg should i rewatch school rumble?! (it's been like 7 years lmfao) or is the manga better?? |
 |
| Overall a good show but still the whole Karasuma illness thing just came out of nowhere and basically he can get his memories back over time? Harima left after realizing that Tenma isn't into him that way because she really likes Karasuma. Still... what bugs me is how it ends. Harima returns and Karasuma almost says his name from recognizing him but says Hanai instead and thats how it ends. So, nothing is resolved. Does Karasuma get his memories back? Does Tenma and Karasuma pursue a relationship if he does get them back? Why can't there be no relationship resolutions like Yakumo x Harima or Eri x Harima? Like maybe Harima realizes that he needs to move on and gets feelings for one of the girls. Idk I'm mixed on this. |
 |
| Sigh no happy ending for Eri, the best character. |
 |
| I honestly don't know what to feel. :) This show left me empty.. Harima my man(｡•́︿•̀｡) |

| School Rumble as a whole is a fantastic LOVE COMEDY show. I would easily give this show a 8/10. But, the show doesn't have ANY resolution to itself. The protagonist Harima ends up being alone. The princess doesn't get over her Tsun phase ever. Tenma and Karasuma don't get together either. Literally nothing changes in the dynamics of these 4 main characters by the end of the show. Over 50 episodes of good comedy ruined by the lack of any conclusion to the relationships between the characters. And no, I'm not going to read the manga to find out what happens in the end. I'm done with the series. 5/10 from me. |
| I hate the ending. Now I'm feeling a bit sad that this anime is completed. |
| Meh for this two OVA concluding episodes. Only the Harima-Eri scene was worthwhile. If they ever do continue School Rumble, DONT FOLLOW THE MANGA |
| I like Tenma, but Eri remains the best waifu in this show. I love that scene of her punching and slapping sense to Harima. He says it opened his eyes, but in the end, it didn't. I admire that he is loyal and loves only one girl, but seeing Tenma being happy with Karasuma & Harima wasting the affection of Eri and being unable to move on to greener pastures is frustrating to see! Even if this were two-cours, that ending would leave a sour taste in my mouth. |
| Notes from 2014: |
| Once again, it seemed new to see a police car chasing Harima and Togo / Harry supporting him (honestly, Harry appeared less overall in the full show than i remembered to begin with) Tenma, think twice before asking some questions... glad that Harima had criticism for Eri and her attitude. Too bad, he never confessed, let some thugs beat him, and he's into another following forgotten scene that now i would like to erase again. Still... mangaka, guitarist, a man of multiple talent. On the contrary, i recalled Karasuma healing and Tenma staying on his side, and how sweet by Sarah to stay at Yakumo's place for moral support. More Mai in the final reunion, cool. And it's satisfying how Eri took a pie in the face. "Ha...Hanai-Kun?" lol. And once again... again... bittersweet open ending even if still a better one than having the main character hooked up with the wrong girl. Being blackpilled by nature already in the 2000's, i knew beforehand that Harima x Tenma would have never happened, and still, unpopular opinion but i couldn't care less, anyone but "Ojou". For me the story ends here, oh, well, the manga wasn't even fully published in italy, just early on in some magazines. And, finally, the destination didn't turn out to be the best but damn, the travel has still been amazing. |

| ahhh so this is the end huh? It was a fun ride full of laughter and misunderstandings. I wish Harima got his closure tho, or knew that Tenma heard him on the bike. They couldve at least had Karasuma remember more...whywhwywhy. Welp. The ending song was nice to hear at least. It was fun while it lasted, maybe one day we'll get a complete season 3...time to read z ig |
| I was expecting an ending to Harima's story as well |
