School Rumble

Ore Monogatari!! addpermalink

Both have awesome MC, Harima and Takeo, it's nearly impossible to not like them. I rarely enjoy rom-com but for some reason I like both series because : they are funny, characters are lovable and some heartwarming scenes here and there.

School Rumble is another romantic comedy anime that focuses on the lives of two high school teenagers. It definitely has the whole beauty and the beast vibe where a brawly "not the typically considered attractive" guy falls in love with the cute girl. Sort of like in the beginning of Ore Monogatari, the male protagonist saves the female protagonist and their lives are intertwined. But I would say that would be where the comparisons end. The high school girl does not have a mutual liking towards to main male character, Harima, and only considers him a friend. The series is pretty much Harima being stuck in the friendzone the majority of the time. And throughout, you find out that there are so many other relationships going on. It does get kind of mixed and confusing because they linger over side characters but I can at least say the character development was somewhat interesting. You just might be a little disappointed or surprised by the ending depending on who gets with who, but I would say it's worth watching.  read more

Both animes are romantic comedies that are centered around high schoolers. The protagonists seem intimidating and people judge them. However they are actually kind, caring and hopeless romantics. The girls that they love are both bubbly, cute, kind and quite ditzy. 

Personally, Ore Monogatari is the School Rumble that I wanted since School Rumble mainly has the main character tripping over his feet whenever he tries to ask the girl he likes out while Ore Monogatari has our love interests become a couple very early on. Both are still fun and great watches however and hopefully they'll make you smile inside like they did with me :). read more

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge♥ addpermalink

In both titles there are some really absurd situations (and characters) that makes them hilarious.
Even though Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge may look, at first, as a cliche shoujo with a shy girl who can't make friends, you'll soon realise that is not the case. 
The girl in question surely does not want to make friends (or a boyfriend) in the first place.

------
Os dois animes criam situações/personagens absurdas que são parte do que deixa elas hilárias.
Embora "Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge" pareça um shoujo cliche em que uma garota tímida não consegue fazer amigos, logo fica claro que esse não é o caso. A garota e questão não faz a menor questão de fazer amigos (nem de conseguir um namorado) pra início de conversa. read more

Asu no Yoichi! addpermalink

The relationships between a lot of the characters in these animes are very, very similar. As an example: you have the delinquent who softens up and is too shy to admit his feelings for a girl, while that girl happens to be in love with another guy. Both animes also includes a big amount of comedy, lots of love triangles and people wanting to confess their feelings.

Natsu no Arashi! addpermalink

The series are from the same Mangaka.

If you like the humor go for it. School Rumble however doesn't have much of a story, but NNA does. Other than that, they don't have too much in common.
You like (romantic) school comedies? Then watch SR!

There are also a lot of School Rumble cameos in NNA ;)

Both of these are great parodies. They are both hilarious comedies with a little bit of romance. The music was also catchy and cute in each. (Parodies are not for everyone) So if you loved or even liked one you like the other.

Both have the same type of humor - over-the-top characters that make fun of anime stereotypes, and ridiculous action sequences that will leave you laughing your head off.

Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. addpermalink

Both are skit-based comedy in a school setting that relies on misunderstandings and are filled with eccentric characters. The big difference is that "Komi Can't Communicate" is heavily centered on the protag, Komi with a POV leading man while in "School Rumble", it mostly follows Harima Kenji but the antics of the entire set of characters are the main content, most of the time involving Harima himself but not necessarily always focusing on just him.

Both anime's are full of comedy and make you laugh at its really weird randomness, also they both show life of highschool students in a funny way. One might show  more about love than the other but they both do excelent parodies of other anime's and movies. xD

Love Hina addpermalink

Both are romantic comedies. Also, school rumble have more "triangler loves" than love hina. Protagonists are similar: Keitaro and Harima has great difficulty in declaring for your beloved girl and have more than 1 girl loving they.

Love Hina are more focused on Love and School Rumble are more focused on Comedy.

These older classics utilize similar humor and similar settings. Whether one will like the other may be a bit of a hit or miss depending on the person, yet I also feel checking the other out isn't something someone would want to miss out on.

Some characters in QMA instantly reminded me of the SR ones (Shalon=Eri, Lask=Kentaro, Malariya=Akira, Ruquia=Tenma because of the personality, Mikoto due to the physical appearance).
Both are random, wacky, funny school comedies. School Rumble is obviously longer and better, but Quiz is enjoyable too, strangely enough.
