oh, I remember this. I thought this ending had MORE closure than the second season ending, but that's just me. You'll have to watch it for yourself. It can be a frustrating series.

Hahahaha, I loved the end...
"Next Episode on School Rumble:"
"Tsukamoto-san, this is the last episode."

I should have known the bit at the beginning with the UFO was from Kenji's manga.
And the bit with the cat was just random.

Bring on the OVA, and Ni Gakki and San Gakki! :)

The last two episodes messed up a bit, you couldn't follow what is whose dream.
But the whole series was throughoutly a win.
Gonna give it 9 points for being funny at almost any parts in the series. Have added some points for moe Tenma and Eri and of course Harima, who is just an awesome guy^^

I think the end was nice...
althought in some parts of it were not understandable
and not so reliable to the main plot.
but i think that the ending of the 2 last eps (the last couple minutes)
has solved the problems of the end in the anime and most of the main
problems of the main plot, so i think eventually the ending was very nice ^^

I wish the Alian thing was true, it would explain a lot about Karasuma, now I just have to except the fact that he's weird :p.

Oh well, I really love this series (I'm glad there's more of it).

I still don't really understand why Tenma likes Karasuma. He doesn't seem to have any good qualities at all and in general treats her indifferently (cant decide if he likes prepackaged curry or her more). I guess it is just supposed to be a comedy element.

alternate endings that's how it's called. That was definitely a great anime. Animes don't usually score 10 on my list unless they really did untertain me - I'm soo biased for school rumble! I'd give it more if I could.

Enjoyable parts of this episode were the butler offering to bury the body and Tenma-chan not realising the series was over.

Apart from that, I can't understand how I managed to finish this, as I really haven't enjoyed this series anywhere near as much as most of the others in this thread. I'm sure I just have bad taste and all, but I kept getting bored and so distracted that I have no idea what was going on most of the time. On to Ni Gakki though, 'cus I need some closure! Pahahaaa

LOL at the epic beginning... I don't think I've ever been so duped before. I was ready for the second time though, with the whole switching bodies with the cat. (LOL!)
I got a bit confused at the end though. Why was that a dream? Oh well.

Fun series. Lots of lolz.

The dreams were confusing! Anyways, for some reason the art seemed nicer in this episode. Just me? Probably.

4/5 seems like an appropriate mark for this particular episode.

The season was pretty creative, funny and random. Hopefully the upcoming seasons will be just as comedic as this one. I liked the ending, but who knows if that ending was also a dream of Tenma?

Eri and Harima seem like a good match... kind of. Eri seems more jealous then loving in this season. Hopefully that will change. And soon Harima should start to have feelings for Eri (hopefully)!

Good season, a 9 seems like the right grade.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mindfuck.
Brilliantly funny, great characters, you don't see many shows like this nowadays.
9.5/10 rounded down.
This show was marvelous.

Now to move on to 2nd term.

.... I swear... this series... My mind got fucked soooo bad this episode... It's not a compliment..

Why the hell is Harima going for a dimwit when a blond twin-tail rich girl is into him.... I've never liked Karasuma's character... He's just awful....

I have been supporting Sawachika Eri and Harima Kenji all this time... It's such a nice series till episode 23... i really dislike Tenma.

6/10.... But I'll give it a 7/10 for all the Eri/Harima moments.

The humour wasn't all to my taste but it did pick up towards the end. I was going to give it a 6, but after the decent last 5 or so ep, I'll push it up to 7.

Season 2 can wait for the time being.

.___.'' Weird ending! I was never sure of what was real... What was a dream...? Blah. XD Whatever. This episode wasl enjoyable! I liked a lot of the things that happened in the episode... Any of the endings would have worked for me.

Onto whatever's next - OVA or next season~~ I need to know how it really ends... Like another commenter said, though, I haven't really enjoyed the entire series. I actually didn't like the majority of it - the first half and then some, I believe. I've liked recent episodes though, so I hope there are more like them in the second season...

Well this is that type of comedy-romance where nothing rly changes from start to end but its fun whole time while being watched.

I feel kinda disappointed by the ending where none was even able to confess whole story led nowhere but it was more crazy comedy then the other way (romance) wasn't it?
Thats why i think its ok however that "ending" isn't rly ending is it ? :P
8/10

Okay the first one was the ending from kenji's manga, and I was so hyped at the end of episode 25, LOL. The second was Tenma's dream, the last one after this episode's ED, I think was real but it became confusing when Karasuma said they were both in a dream, a dream called "youth" (and I actually liked how he stated that). I interpret that he may be just answering it metaphorically in response to Tenma's question. Anyway there still the second season.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

A running gag created by misunderstandings... sums up this series nicely.

In my opinion, I felt this series started off very "slow", and after the first 3-4 episodes I actually but it on break for a long time (around a month) before I decided to continue watching it. The series for me, slowly got better and better as it progressed but sadly did not reach its potential. Hoping the second season can pick up where it left off, and continue to improve.

For some reason, one quote is stuck in my head from this series: "Because this is the tea club". It is only said a couple of times (all in the same episode?) but for some reason, I just found the placement of this line hilarious, and it has stuck with me.

7.5/10. (If this series didn't start off so "slow"(imo), i would probably give it a much higher rating))
Will you be able to do.... what must be done?

well, some people actually like cute girls more than beautiful girls, I personally prefer Tenma. Also when you've fallen in love, you don't care about these stuff anymore.

I normally prefer "cute" over "beautiful", and black hair over blonde. However, Eri's tsun-tsun is too much for me to resist. And she IS cute, just in a different way.

Whew... Karasuma is really creepy. Never liked this guy, lol.
At the beginning I didn't like Harima too, but now I think he is a really funny character.
Best of all epsiodes were Harima's animals. Laughed so much...

all in all... 7/10

Oh f**k. I don't know what's what anymore.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

I'm confuzzled. So, does Tenma like Karasuma because she thought he saved him? Or was that just part of Kenji's manga? Or is it back to normal? Agh the first part confused me.

Jeez. For a moment I thought that animation made by Kenji was true with all the aliens and love... I wish. If only Kenji actually confessed to Tenma. Got my hopes up to high this time. This series is so amazing. Almost as badazz as Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop!
