It really felt like just a random episode,having the normal 25 min....at least if they have done each oav episode of1hour so we would undrstand and enjoy more of it becausei didn't read the manga but I clearly missed a lot of the plot

Very Nostalgic because I love school rumble, but I hate the feeling of not knowing what's goin on. They better make the other episodes. I don't think I'll watch 26 at this rate

Nice OVA, but as anyone who didn't read the manga i'm kinda lost, so i'm starting reading it. Since i loved the 2 seasons i'm a little sad that it comes to an end, i will miss Harima, Tenma, Yakumo and all the others great character of this series... Well at least i still have the manga to read :P (hoping that they release the other 24 episodes of san gakki)

pretty much the same as manga, but it still gave me a few good laughs. Harima & Karasuma were really GAR. also nice ending, with the seiyuus singing the first ED. lastly, as everyone else, I hate the fact that they omitted so much story... it's the first time I will actually pay attention to the manga rankings in Japan, cause there's still hope they will make the rest if the volumes with OVAs will sell.


so anyone here knows if the mangas are selling?? or any plans on doing the rest of the season?

I liked it. This series is better animated.

It followed the manga pretty closely. So the next episode might not be as good as this one.

I loved the fight. Freaking manly.


Holy moses! You kid not! Not only do we see emotion, I loved the crazy cool geometry of Karasuma-kun and of course him getting his face squashed in because he has pretty much been a dick throughout the year!

I thought it was a funny episode that kept with the spirit of the previous two seasons. I'll take just 25 and 26 over no episodes any day.


Obviously true. But still...! Mangaka and producers have some shame! Don't freakin' push your luck with the fanbase!

I was disappointed with the art! Also, I was watching the series dubbed so I was disappointed to find that there were no dubs for San Gakki. It was pretty confusing, too, since I haven't read the manga...why must there be a new producer, dammit?!

I gave the OVA a 5/10 so far..maybe the next episode won't be as disappointing?

I laughed so hard when i realised Harima rang the doorbell on his bike when he came to visit tenma while they had a party.... you can clearly hear "ding-dong" and when they open the door harima tries to pose cooly.... what actually happened:

1. he rang the doorbell and quickly mounted the bike again (to pose)
2. he actually drove the bike all the way to the door just to pose on it.

Boring and predictable like the 2nd season. It's in the script, not the animating!

I liked it quite a lot, nice to see Karasuma show some emotions too ^^ I hope everything will turn out to be fine and +1 for the "drunk" Tenma :P

Glad I read the manga beforehand, or else I'd be completely lost. It was cool seeing the fight between Harima and Karasuma animated.

I read the manga and School Rumble Z to get more conclusion than these crappy San Gakki ova episodes, but be wary you likely won't be rewarded much for trudging through the manga.

It was nice to finally see Karasuma's true colors, he actually feels more human now. Tenma drunk on soda is crazy awesome. Getting kind of emotional thinking about how this will end, since it's taken so long for me to finally get here and I really want to see all of the characters win, but know that won't happen.

Disappointed that they couldn't make a full season out of the 3rd year though, felt like Eri got brushed off to the side completely.

It seems like a lot of the manga was skipped. They went through many events in the beginning of the episode.

I like that they played the School Rumble first season's OP. Nice throwback.

Wow. That was had to watch. To see Tenma try her hardest to actually confess and can't. See her cry was hard. This is definitely not like her. Seeing her genuinely sad. Wow.

Karasuma is ill!? So that's why he didn't want to get close to her. The illness is preventing him from making her happy. Also, yeah, Karasuma does in fact love Tenma.

TO THE AIRPORT!

They also played School Rumble first season's ED. Another cool callback.

Time for the final episode of School Rumble.

I honestly have no idea about what happened in between the end of season 2 and this. I'll probably have to read the manga.

Still enjoyed it though, and it was nice to see Karasuma actually displaying emotions.

4/5

actually what I'm wondering about here is if the School Rumble San Gakki OP gave out any spoilers (I know the Mikoto one is) BUT THE ERI PART REALLY HITS ME

Like how in the 1st OP, she was standing in the rain while a limo drives off leaving her. I'm assuming this one refers to S1 EP 08 where she did groceries to cook for her dad but bumped into him on the way. She felt upset because her dad had work and told her that he won't be able to have dinner with her. then she refused a ride back home and it starts raining.

In san gakki OP, she's seen standing in the rain again, this time with an umbrella, in front of something which looks like???? A SHABBY ROCK??? she's seen closing her eyes as if at ease or smthing I can't tell from her expression

I was worried that Harima would lose the fight against Karasuma, I would hate that! But still it was an even fight and I would like for Harima to win easier...

Anyway it was kinda rushed but interesting
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Instead they should've made a third season, since summarizing everything that happened AFTER season 2 IN the manga with a few seconds of animation just doesn't work. Well, first time EVER seeing Karasuma express himself, that punched me strong. To think he was sick...I had no idea...really good episode! I felt really sad for Karasuma.

A big chunk of it was very serious, not the usual comedy the love from the normal School Rumble. Also Karasuma being able to fight on par with Harima made no sense at all.

Best thing was Karasuma getting punched by Harima, as a guy who really didn't like him outside of a few gags, man it felt good. Also, that intro felt like I missed a season's worth of content

From what I've seen from the preview in the beginning, it looks like many interesting and funny things happened during the time skip. They should've made a 12 episodes season focusing only on romance comedy & events that matter.

The fight between Karasuma & Harima looked cool! Karasuma looked badass for once, especially when he got angry!
I like the new animation! The characters all look better.
The original OP & ED is still my fave. I like how they showcased the other girls in the ED. Megumi is so my type! I want to lick her armpit so much!

Suddenly i remembered to retcon something... K-On may have been my first full series in original language, but those two OVAs were my actual first experience of anime in japanese. Unfortunately, Ni Gakki did receive italian dub exactly as season 1 but not a home video release, and San Gakki none of the above.

Also... after all this time i thought i was accidentally watching the second half, but no, a lot of the main plot from the manga was cut even if it still didn't have good news for Oodou people (that's how Harima x Tenma shippers like me were called back then, in fact i was attending an italian School Rumble forum when the OVAs were translated in italian)

Lol, for how the race began between Harima and Hanai, and the former fighting with Karasuma was intense

Mai <3 i would have enjoyed more her actual chasing of Nishimoto and not just a still picture. Good that she appears again in the new visuals for the returning ED of season 1, "saving the best for last", yeah.

Poor Tenma, she gets drunk with non-alcoholic drinks? (Mikoto too). And then Harima comes and takes her with him.
