スクールランブル - School Rumble


Just when I thought One Piece and Gundam SEED were cartoons, this crap changed my life (good crap actually). School Rumble brings out the essence of how it feels like to be a high school student in Japan. Forgive me if I'm wrong: my first completed-every-episode-diligently series, so pardon me.

The story is ok ~~ it flows, so that is all there is to it. The display of everyday-school life tweaked with fun, looks ideal eh? Unfortunately, wishful thinking in reality, though I might say that how nice it would be if this really happened in today's boring and subjective society. The want to express your affection to another, especially when initiated by a girl - ooh... how nice...

The personification of Tenma-chan wasn't that fantastic, but nonetheless passable. I think Harima did a better job than the rest of the cast - dang, just how it covers feelings of love to getting screwed in 90% of all events (thank Hanai for that. I guess that's how two nitwits deal with situations and each other) That brought vital substance out from the anime. Without Harima, School Rumble might've flopped flat.

Jackie just jacked me into the world of anime.
