The most interesting part is a clue for the MaiXEro-sommelier couple.

...

ichigoismyhomie · 2006-08-21, 19:53

Spoiler for A 6 for good measure:

Potatochobit · 2006-08-22, 00:21

My Mai Dream!

the guy originally taken was harry mckenzie playing secret mask, only at the end did we find out who his true identity was! Dun dun duN!

i dont know if mai can handle him if they ever start dating in the future. that guy is like a pleasure machine 24/7

anyway i liked this episode better than the earlier one.

Where the fuck did School Rumble go?

saner · 2006-08-23, 03:45

More and more boring, the anime is even more boring than manga, the original anime episodes are so stupid...

Decagon · 2006-08-23, 04:55

Oh come off it. It's one bloody episode and people think School Rumble is going to shit. Did you guys not notice Kobayashi Jin's cameo? He's even listed in the credits for heaven's sake! If you take his appearance in the anime seriously, (he's the one submitting the short stories) he was probably the one who (co-)wrote the original material in the double-ep. If anime's frame-by-frame faithful to manga, there's no point in watching.

It's more of a pacing issue, than anything else. These were filler episodes, but they were essential filler episodes - since you really can't end the series in the middle of a big story arc. I recognize the fact that the pacing had to be adjusted, but I would rather that they had spread the filler material over several episodes. The filler wasn't as noticable in Ep. 20 because it had a decent balance of parody and traditional material. The problem could have been avoided with the right planning, but that's water under the bridge, now.

I'm looking forward to Ep.22.

True. But previous filler episodes are way better than this one. It's not "School Rumble" at all. It's just unfunny parodies after another (Especially the basketball part, I found it so unbearable that I even skipped the scenes, first time I did that while watching School Rumble).

arias · 2006-08-24, 01:47

This is abit late, but did anyone find the new ED to be VERY similar in style to Ah My Goddess!' OVA ED? So happy..

hi no ken Jebus Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004	Spoiler: I can see people whining about how this episode sucks or something since it's filler and doesn't feature the main cast. However The Mai magical girl part was awesome and hilarious Harima as the bad guy was great. Tenma almost stole the whole show with her wonder woman get up. The second part is some sort of bizarre homage to the old school with the basketball squad fighting some evil group. Next time is the new years stuff...

ichigoismyhomie ichigo's homie Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: da great state of kalipornyaaah	not as good as ep 20, but i still give 8.5..........maybe more after i got subbed version. Spoiler: magical mai was awesome parody of cardcaptor sakura mixed with sailor moon. The part where tenma became wonder woman was cheesy...until her fake boobs dropped down to her knees.....that cracks me up. Harima becoming the evil mask man was hillarious also. He look like a combination of spawn + ultimate maskman (that stupid cartoon from WB) + colonel armstrong (from FMA) + the bad guy from la blue girl (that's right....the hentai series). his weapon was his red sumo underwear that flowing like spawn's coat, but it attack the enemy like those tentacles from hentai series..........I think this episode has the most parodies out of the rest of SR series. The second part was mediocre. It didn't really crack me up as much as the first one. dats why i give this episode lower score than ep 20. Can't wait for new year stuffs that coming up next week. more stuffs for harima x eri fans to watch.

Truth-kun Do the Penguin Dance! Join Date: Jun 2006	Spoiler for A 6 for good measure: First and foremost, I'm not a fan of Ootsuka Mai, so that is probably one of the factors that made me give this episode a 6. In any case, parts of this episode was funny, but sometimes I don't get the punch line, especially at the Galactic Bomber scene. Maybe I'm just not too familiar with its parodies? When I was watching the Magical Girl part of this episode, I was wondering who in 2-C was playing as the guy who was kidnapped by Harima. It was a very fun surprise when it was shown as Nishimoto, with matching "DAS". The anime (not really in the manga, though there are hints) was probably trying to pair up Mai and Nishimoto, since two of their "scenes" were anime originals (First was Tenma's Birthday, Second was this one), and the only "scene" that is from the manga was the Earthquake Nishimoto flat chapter (where Mai volunteered to clean Nishimoto's books). I'll probably appreciate this more when I know what they are saying . I should really work on my Japanese -.-
