Love, love, love this episode, it almost felt like it was season one again. Harima-Tenma-Karasuma plot really is my favorite part of School Rumble.

ZODDGUTS · 2006-08-16, 05:23

Good episode they did a good on the emotional parts too.

Looking foward the next episode since I like Ichjiou and we get to see the girl with classes side story from the manga which was very touching.

ShingoKun · 2006-08-16, 10:17

It was so sad for a alittle bit

but the resolution part was great. Cant wait for the hour special

evil_paladin · 2006-08-16, 11:18

I have one question that really bugs me, what was in the manga that Harima showed to Tenma?
does it contain the feelings Harima has for Tenma? If this is true then does it mean Tenma now knows what Harima really feels for her? What about the part where she is watching tv and talking about Harima with Yakumo, what does this imply?

Ty for anyone willing to shed some light to my confusion, its greatly appreciated!

I think Yakumo actually believed that the manga was "their little secret",
letting her sister in on it kind of ruins the "specialness" of it. And the fact
that he let her in on it I think Yakumo is starting to experience what it
feels like to be jealous.

She doesn't appear jealous in the manga, and the anime actually leaves the bit when she tries to explain to Tenma that Harima might have feelings for Tenma.

This was an excellent episode but they took and added important bits to the manga that make people who haven't read the manga misunderstand the situation like Yakumo looking like she's jealous.

The bit when Tenma falls on the floor after Harima hugs her and Harima apologies and they shake hands. That never happened and the only reason why i think they added it in was:

Great episode, this show is really starting to get its goodness back.

Ahww The show could have ended right there.

sedukshun · 2006-08-16, 15:23

O.O" my my what a turn of events ~
i would have thought harima would have confessed his feelings much later in the season...but o well 19...it's nearly the end isn't it? *crys*
when he was on that giant curry dish sleighin down the street that was sooo cool! those fish missiles were great LOL ~ imagine if that had hit him...*ouch*
when harima hugged tenma /// my heart was like slow...LoL it melted and i wanted to see it last even longer with the atmosphere and music...
but as always tenma had to ruin it by screaming
altho it was a bit weird to me that they shook hands ¬_¬ how poop is that?!
tenma still obviously loves karasuma (LMAO when he stopped harima with one hand) since she made dat giant curry dish and gave him curry whilst harima stood by...
so she is pretty confused right now ~ but i am glad she doesn't hate harima as much anymore...
i hope she will finally remember who he is that sexy cute lil dude who saved her when they were younger ^^
yakumo lookd like she was tryin to be understanding~ supporting her sister~ i dnt think she was jealous =/ she already knew long ago that the manga was of harima and tenma.
next episode ooh 1hr!! looks like it'd ressurect the other characters we've not seen for awhile. yay ^_^ hope they tidy up those loose ends =)
oh wells thats it for now ~ roll on to the next ep!!!

10/10 ~ loved it!

i0td · 2006-08-16, 16:28

Episode 19 blew me away. Not only did this episode incorporate the incredibly funny and exciting (lol heatseeking fish missiles?! seriously, the fish looked like they lusted for the fresh blood of Harima

), it also proved to harbor very serious and emotional plot development. I thought the flashbacks at the start foreshadowed this very well. So as we've seen before, Harima once again takes the initiative intending to do his best to confess to Tenma, but finally, rather than viewing another trademark SR mixup, we get to watch Harima and Tenma go face-to-face and connect. The manga confession, the hug (so beautiful!), the handshake. You just can't say that Harima and Tenma haven't matured in this episode.

And I know not many of you agree with the Oudou outcome. Even I was wavering on it after all that has happened between Harima and Yakumo/Eri. But boy did this episode do justice to both the HarimaXTenma and TenmaXKarasuma storyline.

I agree with you. This episode really had the air of everything coming to a close. That feeling, somewhat nostalgic like 'it's over', was especially strong for me roughly halfway through this episode.

Circle · 2006-08-16, 18:08

My favorite ep of Season2 also, very touching. As long as the episode focused on Harima x (Tenma or Eri), I'm happy, but this episode carried it much farther with serious character/plot developement.

Seeing Tenma cry makes me sad too, hope my sister-in-law won't hate her so much after she sees this episode.

I've never read the manga so when I first saw Harima hug Tenma, I thought it was him daydreaming again and he was gonna wake up in some embarrasingly funny situation again.

I don't expect the end of season2 to resolve anything, so if it ended with this episode; it would've been just fine.

ichigoismyhomie · 2006-08-16, 18:48

nooo....i totally opposed of ending the season in this episode. There are so many great things coming up(at least in the manga) . They better come up with season 3 then wrap up the whole thing on graduation. Or maybe keep dragging the whole thing until they go to college.....or someone getting married.......

If KJ really wants to end the anime this season, he should make some kind of conclusion episode where harima ended up with one of the girl.....(preferably eri....). It would be suck if he just end it without any resolution.

I totally agree with you.
I hope KJ would decide to make them college students so that the other filler characters won't be around and the story will be focused more on the main characters.

Red_eyes · 2006-08-16, 20:38

I'm not sure if Yakumo was jealous or not. It also looked like she might've felt sad that Harima gave so much care for Tenma.

But perhaps Yakumo thought that Harima let Tenma in on the secret to set things straight? Because only then would Tenma know she misunderstood Harima about the perversions and why he had to stay at her place on some "secret work", and Yakumo was trying to support a confused Tenma, telling her it wasn't her fault for the misunderstanding. I don't know, SR is so subtle and Yakumo is so suggestive in her actions. But I think she was just jealous, personally

Truth-kun · 2006-08-16, 20:40

I'm starting to feel a little diversion going on, and it may lead to the inevitable "anime-only" ending. I don't see School Rumble extending up to the third season, especially since the manga is close to being finished too.

The hints in the preview: "Above friends, lovers unfilled, but before that, I told you it's School Rumble!" suggests that the next 1 hour special will be the bridge to the last arc of this season. I have no idea how they are gonna pull it off, but I really think it would diverge a little if not all, from the current manga.

I also agree though, that the handshake can be a great ending in itself

. But it would be a little rushed if that was the case

Onizuka-GTO · 2006-08-16, 20:52

macross tuna missiles = win

by far the most hilarious i have seen so far. fantastic.

p.s: lol. typically user named eri didn't like this episode.

I kinda like how they apologise to resolve the misunderstanding but not very romantic, which is good, since Harima is going to end up with yakumo or Eri.

ichigoismyhomie · 2006-08-16, 22:00

i wish KJ will end this season with a BAAAANG......if he's not going to do 3rd season. I mean.......i want something out of the ordinary. maybe harima will ended being with akira......or maybe sagano. Akira pretty much know all the circumstances, so she should be a nice underdog for the competition to get harima. Sagano is good at basketball.....harima tooo.......this should make good basketball team........or maybe they end it with showing that tenma was an god-like entity that can control the universe with her mental state (hehehhe.....sounds familiar anyone?) and karasuma was the person that can calm her down from destroying the earth..........both of them can be alien, and live happily ever after.........

What ever it might, KJ better end this season with something out of the ordinary........and then make some OVAs or even a movie to cover the rest of the manga. If he does that, the world will one step toward becoming a better place.....

Moon Eclipse · 2006-08-16, 22:21

I wish you could vote 10 and 1 because it was the best and the worst episode. Extremely well done, beautifully executed... but so painful to bear in the end. ARGGG!!! It hurts so much... it hurts so good...

taichikun14 · 2006-08-17, 03:19

FINALLY~! THE PERFECT EPISODE! this is absolutely my favorite episode. Perfect, beautiful music...perfect, beautiful animation...perfect, beautiful, and absolutely moving flashbacks, inner thoughts, and scenes...especially the last one.

and best of all....NO Tenma/Harima MISUNDERSTANDINGS! finally!!

man i love this pairing. the ending was PERFECT.

Anime Online · 2006-08-17, 06:39

Episode#19 is very good. Tuna missiles are incredible. I'm quite surprised the chief editor knew the 120-page manga script was written for Tenma. Then again, his sea captain brother knew that as well after reading Harima's first manga in Term#01.

Harima finally let Tenma read his manga, which is the outlet of his affection for her. We know this 120-page script represents his confession from the remark made by the chief editor. The reaction Tenma had after reading the manga seems rather tame (for such a hyperactive girl) but it might be because she did not immediately grasp the meaning behind the manga. Even Yakumo, who helped out with the manga in Term#01, took some time before drawing the connection between Harima and Tenma.

But the hug at the end leaves no doubt as to Harima's feeling for Tenma (though Tenma is an incredibly dense girl, so.. hmm, uh-oh). It's good that both of them made up with that handshake, but does this bode well for Harima x Tenma? Well, at least there are no misunderstandings this time round (i.e. Tenma did not faint and wake up tomorrow saying "What happened yesterday?" etc).

Freeter beyond Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: in the club	Spoiler: Fish missiles = automatic win Quite possibly the best ep of this season so far. It's got everything: comedy, drama, Haruhi-kura , "nee-san" envy from Yakumo, Akira cameo, and a touching moment between Harima and Tenma. Wait, I don't think Eri was in this one...make that almost everything __________________
