Wow! This series just won't die! I just wish that they had saved the name "San Gakki" for a full third season instead of using it for a mere 2 OVAs.

kenjiharima · 2008-02-26, 16:03

Come on! A great series like School Rumble that started great won't end up ending in the manga. I knew it that my prayers would be answered and they'll make an ova sooner or later a couple of years from now!

Great to see School is back for the attack.

***NoSanninWa*** · 2008-02-26, 16:09

Yeah, but... only 2 OVAs. :sniff:

Maybe it's a 1 to 2 hour anime in the OVA? Since the first ones where just the compiled bonus chapters in the manga. Hope this 2 OVA's are longer.

serenade_beta · 2008-02-26, 17:34

Great that it's back!

But only two OVAs...

PGilis · 2008-02-26, 17:38

I hope this time Harima forget once and for all Tenma and start dating Yakumo or even Eri.

ANY girl in this series is better/smarter than Tenma... (almost) even Lala!!

Someone know what the story is about?

Swampstorm · 2008-02-26, 18:18

Although the Kyoto arc is relatively short, I don't see how they can cram everything from Ch.160 to present into 2 OVAs and have room for some sort of conclusion.

If they do have plans to end with this, they'd probably have to deviate significantly from the source material (which I'd rather they didn't, given what happened with Nigakki).

suguru · 2008-02-27, 17:11

I'm guessing this will end up like the two-part OVA that was released after the first season and just have some side stories to it...since the manga's still running, and given how short it is, the odds are probably long on it being a proper conclusion.

Still, it's more Sukuran, so I'm happy overall--I still hope someday we get the conclusion animated, but maybe the OVAs are partly to help keep interest in the anime up so that sometime in '09 or later we can get another full season to end the story (assuming the manga ends by then). Given how complicated the relationship chart for Sukuran is I'm thinking they need at least a 13-ep season to really give all the characters the conclusion they deserve and tie up all the loose threads.

devildog23 · 2008-02-27, 18:50

I wonder what they'll name the third season, since they used the name "Third Term" already.

Btw I forget where but I heard that the OVAs are going to be longer than the usual half hour. Is this confirmed or is it just a rumor?

I hope it isn't like a concluding OVA some people say they are. Well if it is I'm all for HarimaxEri

ThoHell · 2008-02-27, 23:54

I'm excited! Loved School Rumble, but I really wanted somewhat of a real conclusion/closure. Actually I really want more character development. This is going to be one long wait.............

The Awesome School Rumble Is Gonna Back ..But I Wish If There is More Than Two OVA >.<

arkxkra · 2008-02-28, 04:09

yesterday just finish watching 2nd term, 3rd was really a good news for me. I wish after OVA wil have TV series. I want more School Rumble ~

Eri FTW ~

Ice Block · 2008-02-28, 06:06

OMG OMG School Rumble is back!! Though, I agree with Swampstorm. More than 100 manga chapters is a little difficult to cram into two 1hr-long(?) OVA's. Too much diviation is bad, but i guess they can cut all those resets and just get to the more important chapters like the Kyoto Arc, ch202-212 (not sure about this, my memory's cloudy) and the more recent ones (ch240+).

kenjiharima · 2008-02-28, 16:58

this ova will mark 2 things.

The End of school rumble or the next season.

Good thing they didn't lie about School Rumble anime will continue on the end note on Niggaki. There where no updates for almost 2 years.

Maybe the Anime OVA or series and Manga will have different endings?...maybe...

The end of Nigakki had the class excited about the upcoming class trip to England. That would seem to prevent the writers from diverging from the manga completely without first referencing the Kyoto arc in some way.

Another possibility is that they could try to incorporate the Valentine's day chapters, since they feature a wide selection of characters and they come just before the Kyoto arc. The arc starting from Ch.201 occurs on a date that is well past Valentine's day, so it becomes harder to backtrack at that point, if there are any plans to continue the story at a later time.

Wow I just got back into School Rumble last week and now this?! And here I thought the anime died ^_^ Can't wait for these OVAs!

Hear , hear. Hopefully, a season three will follow these......although it seems unlikely

.

I'd rather they don't try to cram too much into two ovas though. Even if season 3 never comes out, I'd still prefer a small portion of the story well covered to a huge compression.

Why would a third season seem unlikely?

I love this anime!! They should continue to follow the same pattern of a full season, then a couple of months until a release of OVAs then another season until they finish with the manga.
