More like - take to a different thread? lol
Quote:
I liker her, but she wasn't that interesting as a character. Good hearted and kind, but at the same time naive and too oblivious to notice the consequences of her actions. She gets redeemed for it by being so pure hearted and stubbornly insisting to fix it or apologize and be forgiven - no matter what it takes. Even if she has to pull a Seymour and wait a whole night in a snow storm as you said Quote:
You know, I used true love for a reason. I don't see how onesided or not makes a big differences here. By the end of the series they are very close, so lack of knowing each other isn't my argument. The way Harima's 'love' for Tenma was portrayed - it just wasn't believable for me. We do see the moment he falls for her, but we never see him going beyond that feeling he stubbornly insisted from then on. He never goes "Oh that's why I fell for her, she's such a nice person" or anything similar genuinely. He just puts her on that shrine of his and worships her - that's why I said it's more like an obsession than real love. Harima totally goes blind if she's involved in anything. Similar to Imadori who is totally obsessed over big breasts but still starts to care for the 'flat' Karen. I always thought it's Harima's stubbornness and deep rooted longing for acceptance and love that leads him to pursue Tenma so much (don't forget how happy he is secretly when someone praises him or how he loves to be part of a group). He liked her sure, but true love? Not as I see it. Specially, when I remember how her always acts towards her and just likes to forget Karasuma. Or better ignores anything that could be harmful to his mental picture of a happy family I'm not claiming I must be right and you wrong - I just interpret it differently :3 Toradora just went downhill from somewhere in the middle. One of the series that were eaten by their romance plot and forgot about the comedy. Taiga's rage fits didn't help much. Quote:

DB series only concentrates on on main character Gouko. More like the Ghostbusters cartoons, where in Ghostbusters Extreme there are new characters. The only returning old character was Egon.Where in which in the ending for nostalgia they brought back the older heroes. Pete, Ray and Winston.

Maybe he can add new characters to the story but it's not absolutely necessary. |

And u're damn right, if he would let go off Tenma that easily, Harima would just be like another screwed up anime character Quote:
Forgotten about that scene >.< and it's the first time I hear that Harima probably know that Yakumo wanted to confess! That gives me a total different view about this!!! |

Too late though for Shawn storyline he's retired. Undertaker made him retire. Seriously though Shawn gave up and went back, pretty much end of story there. Quote:
Quote:
Much like Batman no matter what he never kills. Except when he killed DarkSied in Final Crisis in a do or die situation. Makes me wonder will it kill Harima to love another girl? Hmm.... Also all those indirect confessions Eri and Yakumo did to Harima never really budged his tunnel of vision, even in his broken heart he's still thinking of Tenma. He's also not obsessed with her since he respects her as much as the other girls, no mater how other people seem to misunderstand him. Poor guy really. Overall as a long time SR fan, I want a New School Rumble with new characters for a fresh new start form KJ.

I guess part of what I like about the show (and is unique to it too), is that it doesn't force the 'true love' mentality on the viewers. People develop feelings, develop relationships and have break-ups simply because someone likes someone. Quote:
Quote:
I prefer the way characters like Asou, Sara, Imadori and Karen were introduced. First as side-characters that then had a few focus episodes. But I'll admit that is my personal preference. Quote:
Honokawa Action supposedly has relation to SR, so if that comes true, maybe you will get a bit of your wish. Quote:
Quote:
Admittedly, I only read the manga section from where the 2nd season ended until the manga end once. Mainly because the files are all jumbled up and I hate having to go through numerous folders to check which chapter I'm supposed to read next. But when I read the Yakumo confession scene, I solidly remember coming away thinking that yes, Harima knew. I think though that it was Yakumo who states this, not Harima himself. She more or less believed that Harima knew what she asked, but made the joke gag to not hurt her. I know you could argue Yakumo wouldn't know for sure, but I do think that was the point JK wanted to get across. Perhaps I should re-check that scene. I just hate reading the manga, knowing those parts will never get animated, and that, well, SR eventually ends. Heck I'm struggling through the latest official english volume because although I know I could blow through it in one day, it still saddens me. Plus it'll take ages for the next volume to be released. At least I know the official volumes will be in order.

Try to check out also Harima indirectly rejecting Eri 'cause he thinks he's SO cool and handsome. Truly this is a comedy manga that kills the plot with that WUT?! Moments. Quote:
As much as I like the old characters which grew on me. I'd rather have something fresh right now from KJ, NNA was good, but it's ending also. Also hoping that Honokawa Action will be similar to SR or a link to SR.

Well, I can't really decide but I would say that I liked the arc. Well, these english exchange students were a pain in the butt, I mean, pulling Eri's hair "Are u nuts?!" But what I liked was all the stuff around Harima and Eri. in Kyoto there really happened a lot between them, even if it's only on Eri's side, since Harima just wanted to be alone with Tenma. Quote:
well, to me it was just another scene like "Harima's dumbness kills everything" xD but yeah, this statement gives me a totally different view about the situation. Quote:
I was like soo happy that Harima actually talks to Eri about this situation I was awaiting something cool, something romantic or even somethind sad. Like Eri crying and Harima "Why are u crying!?" and Eri "I'm not crying" (typical situation lol) but then, what happened? Eri totally screwed the situation with her face and her stupid answer! xD Well, can't blame Eri, JK's the person who is putting words in her mouth and making her look stupid lol |

Quote:
The situatuons of both relationships seem the same, but the difference is that where Tenma never gives Harima anything back, Harima does soften up to Eri at times. It's not much, but at least for me it makes a big difference, because I can think of a dozen scenes that brought Eri and Harima closer genuinly, but I have to think hard for scenes like that for him and Tenma. And that's all it's about for me: What we see. Just because it's stated Harima loves Tenma with all his heart until it stops beating, doesn't mean I will believe or like it when the author didn't bother to show me anything other than shallow interest. At least it was really insufficient for me, specially because there was so much built up with Harima and the other girls and seemingly finally letting go (but not moving on yet) Quote:
For me, the author forced the true love mentality down my throat with that end If it's not supposed to be love none of their decisions make sense. Because just liking someone is a bit too less for lifechanging decisions like that xD I know I just included Harima->Tenma with that . I acknowledge him being in love with her somehow, just not truly loving. But KJ presents us with him being totally in for her in the end. Quote:
I really like the points you bring up, too~ Quote:
It's just that Harima really IS an idiot and you have to argue he is a real mastermind acting and thinking like he does during the times he is with Yakumo if you believe he knows Maybe he registered it subconsicously somewhere, but I just never saw anything pointing there. Still, I just could have missed something xD Quote:

Finally found what I was looking for. But re-reading it, perhaps I did read too much into the dialog.
I don't know if I can put up manga pages, and since I can't be arsed uploading images anyway, I'll just point out that it was in chapter 281, page 2. Yakumo explains to the 1-D girls about the night she confessed. She says Harima avoided what she wanted to say (which to me sounds intentional), then goes on to say that made her think they don't 'harmonize' well (she knows there's a gap there). It doesn't say he avoided her words in order not to hurt her, as I 'ad-libbed(sp?)' before , but I don't see why that can't be the case, especially since he intentionally avoided her words. Of course now I'm in a somber mood, having re-read those chapters. Also re-realising that Harima never called Yakumo by her name, it's always Imouto-san (at least I believe this is the case). Which in itself is a big indicator of how Harima feels about Tenma((and consequently Yakumo). And of course, I read chapters 282 and 283.....

Eri is also called Ojou-san all through out the series.
Harima is a respectful guy. Ojou-san though has a bit sarcasm on Eri, but calling you a princess all through out is another. Only the PS2 game Harima called Eri, ERI-chan Spoiler for game:

She's a side character and probably the legal and most attractive off all the female gender in SR imho. Probably it's her mature demure or just the design. Harima being young though having more a more mature built, both of them look good together. Too bad though this won't happen.
Except H-doujins.

i have some doubts...
well as all of you kno, some people have been talking about Honwaka Action! and they say that Honwaka Action! it's gonna be JK's new series. but... i found this news on animenews network Natsu no Arashi! Manga to End in September posted on 2010-08-21 15:49 EDT Creator Jin Kobayashi (School Rumble) already planning new manga Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine indicated in February that Kobayashi is planning a new series in that magazine, but has not revealed its title or launch date. so my doubts are: why the people have been saying that Honwaka Action! it's gonna be JK's new manga when he hasnt revealed it's tittle or launch yet?. i usually dont post that much, i rather read the diferents points of view of every1 instead of posting but if any1 can answer me that i'll be glad. by the way, its good to know that NNA ends in september, i really wanna know more about jk's new manga xD! Later |

No news for us, Harima02.
I think JK is currently to busy with finishing NNA. Maybe he gives so many hints, that are not confirmed to show people, that he will continue drawing mangas. I think we will know in like 2 month, what he's gonna do and what it will be about.
