No matter what any of you say, you wont convince the other any different. What it seems to me, is that you guys are extremely biased towards your favorite character. I personally dont care much for Yakumo, she's abit too boring for my taste, I at first didnt like Eri, cause I thought she was one of those mean rich b*tches, but as time went on, I grew to love her as a character and now Im routing for her all the way. Whats the point in arguing when there is nothing to prove other than your own bias opinions? And thats exactly what it is, opinion.
The arguement can go on for several thousand posts with the same points from both sides constantily repeated. Lets just end it with a I like Yakumo / Eri, call it done. Oh, School Rumble is not a Harem anime. For a Harem anime to work, there has to be several girls interested in the main protagonist, while the main protagonist is only interested in one of the several girls that is interested in him. In SRs case, Harima is interested in a girl who has no interest in him whatsoever and is interested in a different guy, and is infact going well relationship wise with the other guy. So far there is only one solid confirmation as to who has a romantic interest in Harima and that is Eri, Yakumo still sits on the maybe section. As I see her interact with Harima, its more along the line of her not being able to refuse helping someone out but has potential to grow into something more, its her nice girl mentality, At this point I dont think Yakumo is interested in romance. Beyond those 2, the other girls have 0 interest in Harima. The Nurse dont count, as she already gave up on Harima on season one after seeing Harima with Eri. A good example of a harem anime is Love Hina, where Naru, Mikoto, Shinobu, and that one chick i forgot her name >_< the one with the big tits, and Kentaro's adopted sister, are all in love with the main char. another example is Ranma, where theres Ukyo, Shampoo, Akane, and Kodachi are after Ranma. I can go into other series as well, but they will all point out to at least 4 or more females all interested in the main character. Well, I think I made my point about Harem animes. |

Peace, harmony, and hail School Rumble. We all love our character/characters, and we all see School Rumble from our perspectives. To say one does not see any depth in a character is just as harsh as saying you should go home if you can't debate the current issue.
You see what you want to see and believe what you want to believe. What I see is just as relevant as what you see, and often times, just as right. And in the end, I would not try to judge you any less for your beliefs or the differences in your thoughts. To judge that I do not see depth in characters is a bit judgemental, considering the sheer amount of characters I have seen in the past and how they compare to your current character full of "depth." As wingdarkness stated, SR is a great comedy with some drama thrown in. Heavy drama has never been the focal point of SR, and as such, does not have some of the character depth in other dramas, such as KOR, which is listed as a drama. If you think Eri is such a great character with so much depth, then good for you. In your perspective, she is, but probably not from a lot of other people's perspective. I for one, believe Eri is a great character, as well as Yakumo and Tenma, who blends in with the cast of characters SR has to make the series as awesome as it is. I just don't see her like how you see her.

Back to what ichigoismyhomie was saying about the whole quote between Yoko and Itoko...I took it as a complete joke. I thought that perhaps they knew that 10583 guys were watching them, so instead of being harassed by them, they decided to play out being lesbians. Maybe I'm just over analyzing though and they really are. Kinky. :-D
Can't wait for ep 17. I'm still torn between Harima x Eri or Harima x Yakumo. I just can't decide. One ep I'll lean toward one way, and then the next ep I'll be on the other side! Arrgg. |

Neither have yet to tell how they truely feel but both have got closer as "friends" to the people they are interested in. So no it isn't going well for Tenma (in the love or confession department), how can it be when she is acting desperate and "so obvious" with Karasuma for the majority of times. As of current the relationship between Tenma and Karasuma is nothing more than friendship and Karasuma needs as much it as he can get as far as i'm concerned. What you said about her not have any interest what so ever in Harima at all well we don't know that for sure. She may subconsiously harbour feelings for Harima. Starting all the back when they where both young and Harima first met Tenma when Harima saved her, she shouted out that she loves someone in her sleep (she fainted from the sight of Harima's cut on his back). She's has suppressed those feelings because:
If Harima could ever confess his feelings and explain everything to Tenma plus she finds out the other times that she has been helped/saved by Harima when she didn't know it was him (even when she did) i'm pretty certain she would have second thoughts just as much as Harima could have seconds thoughts about Eri, regardless of that it would be a major event in the manga anyways. Even if the above wasn't the case, just having someone confess to another who initially has no interest in them (since there have never looked/thought about the other person in the that way before) could easily make that person think about it. What i'm saying is the fact she isn't currently interested means very little if at all. Last edited by snkkid; 2006-07-30 at 09:41. |

Well, I say things are going well between Tenma and Kurasama because whenever they are together Kurasama acts much more "human", he's able to talk about thigns and such he even said so himself some episodes ago, and when Harima tells him to go to Tenma cause its her birthday, He runs to her house. I say that is going well.
And here, the link to the definition of a Harem Anime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harem_anime |

Series 01 was good, but neaer the end it got worse, as the plot didn't advance at all. Series 2 remedy that and is much better off, plus series 2 follows the manga much more closer and therefore in my opinion much better.

Actually, if you considered the Survival game Arc, ALL OF THEM ARE IMMORTAL! I can't imagine a decent human being not getting seriously injured by getting shot in closed quarters with a BB/Airgun. Theres one scene, "the other guy" was shot point blank in the head by Eri's butler. I think one could kill or seriously damage someone that way. @_@ In any case, its always good to debate, just as long as the emotional level is kept at a minimum. We all love School Rumble, so why get our heads hot by it? In the end, you cannot instantly shove your opinion on the other, and vise versa, so there is no point in getting all angry and hotheaded about it. The most important thing, is that you get your opinions across, and still keep the level of respect that rational individuals should have. |

The point I make here is that your "harem" is a completely arbitrary construction. Anyone can rewrite the relationship web in terms of a different set of harems, depending on their personal perspectives. By treating Harima's "harem" as if it were a real structural element of the anime is akin to presenting your opinion as if it were fact. I'm challenging the "harem" approach because it presents the series as a strange form of sporting event, where fans root for their favourite pairing to win. By contrast, SR isn't so focused on the "competition" as it is on describing a growing series of relationships. Viewing this series simply in terms of "winners" and "losers" can make the series grow sour on you. Here's a partial layout of the relationships, as done by otacu from EFCPO: Spoiler:

Karasuma is relevant because he turns the Oudou situation into a deadlock, giving Flag a chance to develop. Quote:

Spoiler for Crisis/Catharsis Setup of Story Arcs to Date:
In between story arcs, we have a series of one-shot gag chapters that don't really advance the plot or introduce in a conflict. Harima and Tenma's birthdays are tied in to the Sleepover arc, but they don't introduce in any conflicts - they just set the story arc up. This is taken from another post of mine elsewhere, so it's a little rough. It should give you a rough idea of what I'm pointing out, though. Quote:

Here's a test, though. If Harima and Yakumo's relationship has some basis in at least friendship, then they will continue to associate with each other, even in the absence of having a manga to write together. Otherwise, it would simply be a relationship of convenience, wouldn't it? Quote:

i don't particularly agree that season one was better than season two. it's kinda hard to compare them. season one strongly focused on tenma/harima from harima's point of view, but by season two, things get much more complicated, and the story shifts so that there is more development of side characters. also, season two allows us to get a stronger glimpse at how different characters interact, leading to immense amounts of misunderstanding and hilarity.
season two definitely has it's moments. to say that it feels recycled is a bit unfair, i think, because it definitely threw us a lot of curveballs |
