Prehistoric Rumble... XD very funny.

I also liked how the end was reversed for the OVA with the chibi girls with boys in background instead of vice versa. Just a nice touch to make it different for the OVA... Overall the OVA was alright, good at some points, bad at others.

Prehistoric Anime, haha

"So.. did you finish that anime yet?"

XD

Yakumo at the end was cute, and the ED was flipped! AWESOME!

Great addition to the first season.. I agree, the second part was better then the first part of the OVA, the first part got funny at the hot springs scene.

Why did I ignore this for so long :D - this second part was really great just as School Rumble generally is.

The ED made me LOL indeed. Somehow I want to rewatch all 3 seasons again :3

I know I'm a bit late to the game as it were, but I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this was the best direction. I rooted for Harima and Yakumo intently, but alas... =/

Yakumo x Harima
The whole scene was pretty good. Yakumo blushing when Harima touched her hand. She seems to be much more relaxed and imo she seems to enjoy spending her time with Harima.

School Rumble, at its best! I really like the concept of Yakumo and Harima. Yakumo does seem relaxed when she is with Kenji, she knows that he treats her differently than the rest of the guys. It would be nice if they ended up together.. Also, the Prehistoric Rumble was hilarious! :D I don't wanna start season 2 because then it would end quickly just like the first one T_T

I love how harima becomes all nice when Tenma is around and not so friendly when she isn't.

Lala does look cute when she smiles.

Prehistoric was kinda funny. That early 3-D animation is kinda stiff.

We got a expanded scene of when Harima and Yakumo were alone working on the manga. That was nice.

Nice Ova but I would hope for a different approach with Ova, one with more pairing between characters.

Anyway it was nice to see some more info about characters/situations and the blonde guy who we actually didn't know much about earlier.

I can't vote it any different way than the same as main series :)

btw it was hard to find this in web ;o

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 ;)

I didn't know lala could smile amd imadori did something sweet for once with that dressed up dog. Prehistoric Rumble was nice but not my thing. The scene with harima and yakumo was great. I liked the 1st ova better but this was fine too. Now, head straight to the 2nd season.

I loved it.

The caveman thing was great. And of COURSE Akira was their Soothsayer (after all: she knows EVERYTHING) and Eri their queen.

I love Harima so much. He's such a dumb, clumsy idiot, but so pure.

Lots of Yakumo, which is great. Shame we didn't get to see more of Mikoto, though.

Want Eri to be my queen!
Those awkward moments with Harima & Yakumo were funny!
I like the "new" ED featuring the boys with the cute chibis of the girls.

oh, yes, Eri, such a likable person in treating Harima, yeah, sure...

Lala finally smiled for real, even if she did return way too soon to her usual violent antics

And then the cavemen bit began, the only thing i really remembered from watching the OVAs 15 years ago. Harima and lifeless Karasuma were already inventing two of the most famous japanese forms of art, Hanai wasn't obviously dead, and Harima daydreaming of a family with Tenma was just beautiful. Nice part between him and her older sister finally, and it's even more satisfying considering that Tenma smiling like that and closing her eyes meanwhile was the exact gif that made me discover School Rumble to begin with. Reserved roles in the ED, and to end it all in the most perfect fashion, majocco Mai in the previews. Already hyped to see her again with more and more focus for the third time.
