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.

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.

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

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!

Best troll ending ever. I’m actually amazed that I enjoyed this series more the second time I watched it. I think the big misconception about this series is that it is about romance when it is more about relationship. Honestly there was no romance in this series (there was only one real couple in the entire class) but it does have the best characters. Each one is trying to find love and happiness in an indifferent world and struggle with and against each other to gain it. This is the only anime where I have rooted for every character, even when they are going against each other.
After the re-watch this show has increased from a 9/10 to a 10/10 in my book.

I feel so trolled right now. This was a great way to finish off the season of a comedy anime; they kept at it to the very end, including the next episode preview.

Schoolception FTW.

This episode is such a genius move, and getting through it in rewatch doesn't detract from its countless merits. I love how the series takes itself only as seriously as its own internal coherence allows.

The thing is that the show is so damn random and non-sequitur that the utter bullshit of this episode was even believable in its context, therefore making the troll move effective enough.

Surprisingly Strong, of the Best Romance/Comedy ever. Amazing Seiyu such as (Original Hunter x Hunter) Hisoka as the MC Harima, as well as Kotomi (Clannad) as Yakumo.

The random weird things like DBZ Super Saiyan battles or the Ship Voyage with the Captain make it really shine. The Japanese word plays are especially humorous, and it feels great getting them before the punch line or the misunderstanding becomes known. Speaking of misunderstandings this show excels at them, which can put the humor through the roof IF you can tolerate and appreciate them.

My favorite Characters are 1) Harima- who singlehandedly carries the show 2) Yakumo- with a beautiful voice and a sweet and loving demeanor that adds a calming presence 3) Itoko- gorgeous, witty, and a Itoko (cousin) that any Guy dreams of having.

Probably a true 9/10, but i enjoyed it so much that i'll up it's average by giving it the full 10/10

Excellent first season, so I'll go on to the second. I know I'll probably have to go to the manga and School Rumble Z to be fully satisfied, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. So Eri now knows that Harima doesn't have a girlfriend...maybe that will help. 9/10 for me.

The anime was very sweet, a good mix of comedy and romantic. Brilliant!

I have a question, and I really hope someone can help me if he or she reads this:
After the fight with Kenji, Karasuma and Kenji fall to the ground. Right after, during the scene when Karasuma explains to Tenma that he's an alien, he has fallen in love with her and all the feelings were meant to Karima, there is a very very beautiful background music.

Even with google and the soundtrack list, I didn't find the name of that beautiful background song. Listen, the song is played by piano and goes around 1 minute..
I really hope someone can tell me the name of it..

In my opinion, school rumble deserves a 9/10... Brilliant anime :)

So this is how the School Rumble season 1 ends. Wow, so much feels overall. I was so hyped throughout the episodes, my family kept yelling at me because I made so many weird noises due to the excitement.

From the very first episode to the very last I enjoyed every single one, they were really unique and there was so many character development around, you could easily decide whether you like someone or not. Tsukamoto, stop chasing after Karasuma, for god's sake! D: As I said before, I laughed my ass off all the time, and I haven't seen such an awesome (in every way) anime for a long time.

About the ending, well, I gotta admit I fell for the UFO part, I was like "aw man..!". But I liked it nonetheless. Harima Kenji, you are a great man, ganbarimasu!

I give the series a 10/10. I was entertained all the time. ^^

Wait, so what happened, and what didn't happened? I'm so mindfucked xD
I just can't sort out what happened or what didn't happened. I mean, the first part was Harima manga, but did he literally had a date with... a cat? That sound fucking hilarious somehow.

On the other hand, it would be kinda sad if Karasuma really told her that he loved her, but she think that it's a dream... And is it me or Tenma cat version was really adorable?

Eri was so adorable too, with her wingman butler. What a champ'.

Oh my god. They were going so far with the alien thing that I actually started to beleive it. But when Harima said "I love you." to Tenma that was when I knew that it was fake. That's where I apparently draw the line. Aliens are ok but it must be fake when Harima said "I love you."

Can't beleive Harima crashed. Then again he did't expect to crash to a limo instead of a regualr car. That threw him off.

Hahaha, Eri's butler wanted to bury Harima. More EriXHarima moments! I definitely want this ship to sail! She got all flustered when she was gonna wipe off that blood but then her butler interrupted her. Also she nows know that Harima isn't seeing anyone.
It got really weird with that whole switching bodies with the cat But it was real since Harima did that thing with his hands and purred.

Hahaha, Tenma was off 2 days about Karasuma's birthday.

Did Tenma really confess there at the end. Oh well. I guess I'll know after at the start of the second season.

Not a really satisfying conclusion but we are only at the halfway point! Gonna start the OVAs and then start the second season.

I really enjoyed this! It's fucking hilarious and fun to watch!

Strange series. The comedy can be brilliant at times, but the romantic aspect is difficult to grasp with all the silliness thrown at your face. You really wish for Harima to end up with Eri or Yakumo, but the guy is so fixated with Tenma that in the end nothing really happens!

Damn, this show was awesome.

At first, before watching this show, I only thought anime romantic comedies were all just shallow harem anime with retarded excuses for humor such every joke being about the guy getting beaten up, but this show proved me wrong!

Can't wait to start watching season 2!

5/5 for the episode, 8/10 for the season.
