School Rumble sealed my love for the slice of life genre.
This anime is full of colourful characters with a lot of energy and soul. Whilst, this is predominantly a comedic anime, it does have a lot of heart and its tender moments are especially human and keenly relate-able.
School Rumble features many great arcs and the main characters are thoughtfully realized. The dynamics between the cast is very palpable and compelling to watch.
This anime is perfect for people who feel downsome and looking for "determination" or just an anime that can empathize with you.
Outstanding series, be sure to check out its sequels and the manga, especially Z.
