...will get you this...

Spoiler for Episode 2:

Wait, does the Bloody Mary Faction mean what I think it means

[hi no ken Jebus]

Spoiler:

Well these were some really fast 24mins. Everything from the manga was covered more or less and really fast too. I'm kind of disappointed they removed the Mikoto/Hanai bits. The Hanai x Harima was what I came for and it was great. The riceball stuff was funny too and they splurged on CG for this ep. All in all a good episode and next week the culture/arts festival so it should be interesting

Episode 04 screencaps

Spoiler:

Awesome episode. Definitely one of the funniest one so far this second season

Episode 04 Screencaps and Summary

Oh I think this was even more funny than today's episode of Haruhi.

Spoiler:

The stories that the class wrote are even funnier animated than they were on paper. Yay for all of the Eri screen time It almost feels like they're pushing the Flute Faction more than the Glasses Faction, since they drastically shortened the part where Hanai ate Yuuki's onigiri.

Ah, fell asleep waiting for this thread to open, haha.

Wow, this episode delivered way beyond my expectations.

Spoiler for ep. 4:

The references (Tokimemo, Glass Mask, Ippai no Kakesoba, Card Captor Sakura) used during the play scenes, Yoshidayama being mistaken for a girl, and the whole rice ball scenes (I give Harima credit for daring to try Eri's onigiri even if he thought it was Tenma's) made me crack up.

But the best part was the portrayal of the uneasiness shown by Eri and Mikoto when around Harima and Hanai, respectively.

Which reconfirms my belief that School rumble works best when the comedy revolves around the love factor.

And the fanservice shots from the public bath scenes were nicely done

Definitely the best episode of Second Semester so far, and ranks up with some of the better ones from the previous season as well.

i did observe something which literally do some comparsion to the season 1...from season 2 they are not focusing the anime on tenma anymore, the scene just spread throughout for all the cast.
Only gets to see tenma-chan like a few mins back in esp 1-3, and of course we have our pitiful harima-ku whom keeps having those romantic imagination for tenma-chan..

[otacu]

You will soon get who the real female main character is....

No, wait ... she is already the female main character!

I really enjoy how its working now and how all the relationships are just mashed up and messed up lol focusing in on one character is boring :P its what all other animes do! this is a RUMBLE, and to me a RUMBLE is an all out war!!!!!!

This episode was great but one thing i dont get is what was thing thing about love and mikoto, did we find out she had a crush on somebody or something cause i looked and could not find any thing

[evil-samurai]

I found that the start wasn't as great as the rest of the show this time around. It got more interesting when they stopped the story telling, not to say it wasn't interested just that The later parts were alot more funny, with Harima eating the riceballs and Eri talking to Harmia

More Eri this time, and I'm glad they are showing less of tenma. In the first season of school rumble the best moments was when the show was less focuced on Teama and showing more of other characters I like Tenma in school rumble but I think she plays a better part in being more of a side character then a main.

I'm finding I like School rumble better then Suzumiya Haruhi on a whole, I loved the first episode of Haruhi but the rest is a bit to focused on one character, plus I like the humor in school rumble more.

[Beefalo]

Any "flag" episode is a good episode

Spoiler:

The little hop step Eri does after giving Harima her riceballs had me grinning from ear to ear.

[SonicMonkey]

Wow, definately the best episode so far! This was the first one that had me break out in real laughter and several times too!

All I can say is Eri-chan kawaii!!!.

I have never been a big Eri and Harima fan, but after a while she just wins you over ^_^ She was so incredibly cute when she was quizzing Harima about the kind of girls he likes, she totally stole the entire episode

I guess with School Rumble you just have to sort of enjoy the ride because we have to know there will be no conclusion to any of the love triangles (quadrangles? huh??) any time soon - sometimes it makes me want to punch Kobayashi Jin in the mouth tho :P

[Forever]

Died laughing at the riceballs... A solid 9 for me this ep.

[thundrakkon]

Yeah, this episode was awesome. That whole onigiri scene had me bursting in laughter. Although, I wish they showed Tenma giving Karasuma her onigiri. Did show that in the manga? It was strange how Tenma asked Harima to finish her onigiri instead of Karasuma.

I wonder which character wrote the HarimaxHanai script? The class rep thought it was Harima, but I really doubt he would ever put himself in that position. That was definitely hilarious.

The Eri scenes were really cute. Yakumo, on the other hand, does she like Harima or not? At times, she looks like she does; however, when Tenma insists on researching information concerning Harima, Yakumo appears hesitant.

[Onizuka-GTO]

lol. this episode is ok.

better still, jsut download Ami Tokito Setimental Generation PV

pretty cool. she's cute!!

[Sawachiika]

WoW! the episode 4 is very nice xD

I have make the download of Sentimental Generation too, it´s the best Opening in my opinion ^^

The onigiri scene was really rox xD

[Onizuka-GTO]

Onigiri eh?

Coming from Sawachiika, how come that isn't a surprise?

[DrewGSR]

Definately Eri FTW!!! I always been a supporter of Eri x Harima since season 1. Such awsome and hilarious chemitry.

I thought he was way cute when Eri was asking Harima about what type of girls he likes and then walking away after he gave him her onigiri.

Hahaha, man the onigiri part was hilarious. Omg I feel his pain, eating something that is so god awful its basically poison and holding in the pain as you chew, swallow and smile as you hold in the tears from coming out and screaming in agony because you wanna be nice to the person lol. The Harima and Hanai script was pretty damn funny too.

[Onizuka-GTO]

Harima x Hanai?

Yaoi fangirl!!!

Run for your lives!!!

*runs away*

[Xinil]

This episode was absolutely hilarious. I haven't laughed so hard in weeks. I was seriously dying, and almost falling off my chair throughout the whole Harima & Tenma riceball scene. Couldn't stop laughing.

I really enjoyed the Eri scene time too. Finally.

[El_Capitano]

I have to know this:

Spoiler:

How the hell did they come up with the horse racing part of the onigiri scene?
I laughed my socks off
