>2026>still not a single school-based manga or anime anywhere near the level of school rumbleFucking sucks that I have to keep going back to this because nothing else scratches the itch.Everything about it was perfect, the characters, the humor, the soundtrack in the anime. Oh how I yearn for the days where we had actual fucking characters and anime wasn't designed purely for vicarious entertainment.
god damn you're still making threads fellating your husbando? that's dedication
>>290256707>anime wasn't designed purely for vicarious entertainment.that had already happened decades before school rumble came out, you dumb newfag
>>290256749>terminally online autistic spastic replies no less than 3 minutes after the creation of a thread, immediately conflating the OP with some conjured identity from a previous altercationThat's how you know you're at the point where you should consider killing yourself. You must live a terribly depressing life, anon.There's far more than one person on /a/ who likes School Rumble. Harima wasn't even mentioned in the OP.
>>290256777>being an illiterate moron>reading comprehension levels compared to that of a 9 year oldYou're bereft of intelligence, anon.
>>290256707shit ending
>>290256707I feel you OP. They don't really make series like this anymore with big casts of characters
>>290256803>nooooo my whacky comedy anime didn't have the romantic conclusion i desireyou're a blithering idiot lol
>>290256707Kaguya did an okay job as long as you make sure to drop it after the confession.
>>290256824School rumble had plot progression. And no one gonna ever recognize the ending
I love the show, manga + rumble Z worth reading?
>>290256707I just rewatched this and while season 1 was funny season 2 was so bad.
>>290256786The lady doth protest too much methinks
>>290257474this but reverse
Great openinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVs7UXtd718

>>290258298I think that the English voice actor who played Mikoto did a good job singing this.
>>290256707>Everything about it was perfect, the charactersI think this is the biggest stumbling block for most new series. A lot of school setting casts feel...I don't know how to put it.
>>290261375The characters are conceived as tropes instead of tropes getting tacked onto characters. Also, everything nowadays has to be written so that low key delinquency that resembles mildly bad shit teens would actually do in real life is always treated like it’s a huge deal, so you end up with this weird dynamic where shit like underage drinking is100x worse than blowing up a city. Old anime wasn’t as preachy about stuff like that
>>290256707There was something special about it. The classroom really felt like a classroom if that makes sense. You had a lot of characters who weren't just background noise. They felt like a big group of friends.
>>290262923Yeah, the other plot lines were genuinely fun.>tfw can't find the Ichijou armbar picture I saved.
>>290257474Yeah some of those season 2 episodes were trash like the basketball one or whatever the secret agent plot thing was
>>290256707Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa.Just don't watch the anime. His latest series about a not-yet-couple on a train every morning is fun too.
>>290256707he took ojisan cock
>>290256707>>290261375Its the feminization of Manga. Be honest, when was the last series you saw that had a male to female cast ratio greater then 1:50? There hasn't been so much of a slip as a dive off a cliff. Not even in a haremslop sense, as regular ass series will just cram in nothing but female characters in male targeted series. Then, to top it off, the male protagonist is a fucking pussy whipped retard, who by pure virtue of fan service, blunders his way into every vagina within a 50 km radius.Japanese women, teenagers especially, don't even remotely act the way they're depicted in manga. They DO in fact do some racey shit, especially Jap zoomers, fucking hell are they bad, but fuck me is it boring that everything now is crying teenagers with le big sadness and quirk chugus booby comedy as the MC is best friends with an entire friend circles of women, outside of the obligatory 2 male class mate friends he has but spends no time with.Every day it just becomes more and more obscene that Cromartie High still beats out 99.9% of all arrested development slop that has come out in the 25 years since it was published.
>>290256707What's Jin Kobayashi up to these days? Picrel is the last thing posted to his Twitter, and that was two years ago
Harima x Tenma was the only way the ending could have been good.
>>290269125Eri was way better
>>290269436Eri is only good for Harima in the most mundane way possible, watching Eri and Harima's newlywed life would have been boring. Harima and Tenma make for a much more interesting pairing!
>>290269125Nah Eri or Yakumo were better choices. Harima x Eri and Yakumo would've been the best.
>>290266836I don't know if I agree 100% with what you're saying, but I do increasingly find it...I guess immersion breaking? Its the only comparable phrasing I can think of. But just how lopsided gender ratio or that its more and more just mostly girls in a cast didn't used to bother me, but I find it harder to really get into some series.
>>290256707But seriously, why hasn't anyone tried to make a School Rumble derivative?
Yakumo best girl
You've made this thread before.You've been shat on before.
>>290272344you need to take your medication.
This frame alone is more memorable than anything from modern anime.
>>290273131Love these guys, they could have had their own spinoff manga/arc but its left up to your imagination.
>>290273131
>sovl cg action sequence out of NOWHERE
>>290256707Even if there's a new show that can match most of these, I think the soundtrack, insert songs or character songs will be very hard. Modern anime just seems to spend very little budget in anything else besides VA works... Getting enough budget for the animation is already hard enough.
>>290258298Real SOLV right here.
>>290258298god i love harima, what a character
>>290271291Its the "softening" of manga and anime, and it affects more than just highschool series. Mind you, softening isn't the opposite of "edgy", you can have soft edgy series, Redo Healer is an example, where you have a pussy ass bitch MC who enacts his cuck rage fantasies in an edgy manner. But despite the MC being edgy, hes still utterly impotent, exercising the fantasies of a nu male. These things exist best in contrast, so the diametrically opposition of Redo would be Berserk, a "hard" series that is very much edgy at the same time.An ensemble cast of women who take the role of what otherwise could have been male characters, is the hallmark of this trend. The cute girls doing cute things genre shouldn't be confused either though it is a symptom. Like edgy series, it is not the same thing.Chained Soldier is a good example of the phenomenon, Tsugumomo is a prime example even though its basically nothing but fan service at this point, Kanan-sama wa Akumade Choroi does the smae thing but has much better writing which goes to show that its not entirely an indicator of writing quality and is very genre dependent on the outcome, Mieruko-chan is another that gets close but straddles the line as its more a series targeted towards women though Hiromu Arakawa has shown women can write exceptionally well crafted male characters that aren't "soft".What were experiencing is more or less the death of the cool male character. Compare modern series to Bleach, fuck, compre them to DBZ. Grimjaw, Kenpachi, Urahara, to Broly, Vegeta, Trunks, and it doesn't affect just men. Grimjaw is one of the most popular male anime characters among women of all time.Its a difficult to describe phenonomen, and its hard for me to articulate what it is. Its like porn, you just know what it is, for what it is.
>that one episode where harima is yet again misunderstood by tenma, so he decides to abandon his life on the land for a life at sea on a long-voyage tuna boatYOIYASA! YOIYASA!YOIYASA! YOIYASA!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx7vqbBWD6M
>>290275118I do feel there is a considerable loss of GAR in recent stuff.
why are the side characters of this show so much more memorable than all the MCs from the last 5 years combined?
>>290256707There's nothing special about this show>b-but the MC looks funny!And he's still a sperg.
>>290275426doesn't say much coming from a low-IQ moron like yourself, anon.
>>290256707>Everything about it was perfect, the characters, the humor, the soundtrack in the anime.Notably doesn't mention the endingBut hey, the Harry McKenzie gag might be the one that made me laugh the hardest in any manga, so I could never hate it.
