Murai seems to have grown up a bit, not much Onizuka in this episode.

lol ... they made that city bus seem like it was the last train out of town. If their buses are anything like mine, that thing would have made it another 5m before the next stop... hahaha

DUDE! I was going to say the exact same thing! They made like she was gonna leave town or something. She's just going home, you could just talk to her tomorrow. lol The last scene really was really unnecessary.

I agree a little to dramatic and not enough Onizuka humor and antics.

I'm sure we'll get back on track next episode.

Why anything in this series is really predictable?
Though this was a bit topical episode. But hey! They're high school students. School Rumble has its portions of romance, too. (Not just the main triangle)

I won't complain about the lack of Onizuka in this episode, it just helped to show that there are other characters in the show that also matter.

I'm a bit disappointed though, because, judging from next episode's preview, they're not gonna show what's next for Murai and the tall girl :(
Hopefully we'll find out in the future.

Edit: I laughed my ass off when I saw Onizuka riding that boat with Murai's mom!

The anime starts out being funny about a perv wanting to teach, then it gets really deep with Kanzaki's story, and now it has a really sweet love story! This show is all over the place!

I love how the characters have developed in this show. Initially I hated Murai and was rooting for Onizuka to kick his ass. Now here we are at ep 20, and I was really rooting for the brat to get himself a girlfriend by the end of the episode.

It was nice to follow Murai this time around, a good break, in my opinion. I do agree, it got excessively dramatic at parts though I feel like it helps set up the comedy and punchlines better like how they saved Kunio was from getting his head bumped by the boat instead of by grabbing Fuyumi's hand and Kunio jumping into the pond to not kill himself but to hurt Onizuka.

What's wrong with boys dating girls taller than them? It's cute

Everyone needs to shut up about the "lack of Onizuka". M'kay, calm down people. That's what we call a filler episode. They purposely cut Onizuka out of this one so that we can save him for later episodes, thus increasing the total episode count of the series.

In other words, One Piece could have been 800 episodes (just about enough episodes to center around the main character Luffy), but BECAUSE there were episode that weren't Luffy-based, there were enough ideas to go around to push the series to 900 episodes. That's just an example off the top of my head.

So yeah guys, this is a filler episode. Sorta meant to add character development to the background characters. It's a fresh of breath air and a bit of world exploration. If there's a few episodes that lack Onizuka (albeit him being the TITULAR character), then calm down and skip the episode or just be happy that we're getting more extra content. Plus, there really was some Onizuka in this episode, and his moments were awesome as always.

Having gotten (what I said above) out of the way, I loved this episode. This filler episode was just SO relaxing compared to the last one. (*BAM* flyin' off a bridge getting ready to straight up murder that blonde) It's always nice to immerse yourself in one of these easy-going, non-plot-heavy filler episodes to just EXPERIENCE the characters a bit more... this time, it being Murai.

Man, Murai's mom is really a Grade A milf. Also look at all those lockers! They're made of wood unlike what we normally see from anime this generation.

This time Onizuka didn't have much screentime this time, but we could see more scenes dedicated to his students. Well, mostly one of them, Murai again, but it's good - we see his character development. He matured since meeting Onizuka for the first time.
Anyway, really cute episode. :) Slightly different from the previous ones, but I liked it.
