School Rumble : S1,S2,OVA's, THIRD TERM (ANNOUNCED)
 

The new season starts in one day. From whati see, it looks like there's going to be a new opening and ending theme by ami Tokito. the first season and the ova didn't flop at all. So i have hope for this one to see before the premier of Gintama. Here's the promo for it.


http://www.point-blank.cc:16384/allo...0Promo.torrent

I've been waiting for this one for a damn while. The ending of the last episode and the ova kept me in suspence and it was so damn crazy and fun to watch.
One of my favorite series, if they use the same quality in comedy like the first one I know this is ganna be great >_<

EDIT: I also noticed that in the last preview for the ova and series had some episode where all of the had guns, so I'm wondering if thats real episode or just for the teaser purposes.

Ah, that was in the manga =)



I hope it'll follow the manga =)

I loved this show to death so I can't wait for the second one.
My favorite episodes had to be the school festival from the first season.
I also hope they follow the manga, I know this show won't dissapoint XD

looks like WannabeFansubs is back in business. They released the final and 27th episode of the first season. here ya go.

http://depthstrike.com/~wannabefansu...rent?layout=ed

final? do you mean from the ova's or is it completely new?

I'm not sure myself. they just updated their site. I'll let you know when my download is finished.

EDIT : i checked over at their place. they say its the final episode of season 1 that wasn't aired on tv.

its a special about Harima and Eri along with Tenma's confession.

for some reason . i think its a april fools joke. what do you think?

EDIT:

dont bother. they say its a joke.

Yeah, I can't wait for season 2. This sounds promising.

had to be Kaphwan86 ;p.

damn april fools, it can be a day of fun and laughs or a day or exitement and letdown ;_;
But still, season 2 is upon us XD

I watched and finished School Rumble just in time for the second season. Great stuff.

I'd take everything with a grain of salt on this very day.

nice sig man. i remember that episode very well. Eri is craving Harima alot XD.

Yeah Harima seems to have gotten two girls attention but never the one he wants ^_^
Is this suppose to air tonight? I can't wait till its subbed

the file was only 11 mins long by a bunch of eri fans that dick-rided harima and his encounters with eri. oh well..

It's aired. can't wait to see the new op/ed.

Tenma and yakumo looking cute

now all we gotta do is wait for wannabefansubs to sub it. If DB works on it, that'd be awesome. Im gonna check out the RAW right now.

I believe Anime-United is going to sub it (seen it in their IRC topic), so there's your speed subs. their quality is questionable though, from what I heard and seen. For quality subs, there's WF who will be subbing it for sure. let's just hope it doesn't take them a year to finish it this time.

RAW is out, btw.

School Rumble S2 - 01 torrent

yeah it was released by saiyaman raws. There is no seeds but now the fucking download stopped at 3 seconds. thats just wrong.. lol

EDIT : one thing about Anime-United, MS, is that they have shitty ass quality. I saw episode 6 and 7 of REC and it was worst quality I've seen. What are the chances of them pulling it off with School Rumble?

edit: The opening is alright. they show some manga screens. In my Honest Opinion, i liked the original opening. The ending theme isn't so bad but could be better. The episode overall was alright. the ending of it caught me off in lmao mood.

they could pull a 180 and put out some decent speedsubs. There were groups like DB back in the day (I think they were called Anime Heaven) who put out some really crappy quality release, but gradually got better, and now pretty people prefer them over the quality subs. but i'm gonna stick with WF regardless.

I ripped the OP&ED:

School Rumble Second Semester OP

School Rumble Second Semester ED

The OP is growing on me fast, it's pretty awesome. The ED is pretty slow for a show like School Rumble. I think the song is good though.

I liked the first ones better but those will do ^_^
I havn't read the manga but it seems like there are new people added to the series. Maybe Harima will catch their attention as well

hey ms-07, where did you get that photo from?
it's really cute

It's from the 1st episode RAW.

it came from the episode. I think i should start making screencaps now..

There's a bunch of screencaps in this 2chan thread:

http://dat.2chan.net/18/res/2563746.htm

Is this any good? I never watched it since I was being lazy bastard... now I am bored since I got like 2 animes on my anime list.

trust me.. You're better off watching this then Naruto and Bleach Filler. At least til Gintama comes in.

'Kay, know links so I can start from season 1?

yeah go to boxtorrents

http://boxtorrents.com/browse.php?se...l+Rumble&cat=0

im sure they got the OVA as well. The OST for the anime was pretty good..

I also got it from boxtorrents like 1 month ago and I couldn't stop watching it.
I'm just glad that the ova revealed the second rumble ^_^
So which groups are planning on subbing this, I wanna get it asap.

like ms said, maybe Anime United - the worst quality type (who konws maybe they might redeem themselves for thisone).. and we have Wannabe Fansubs. Their qualities are the best. I wish Nanashi-Fansubs finished but only did 4-5 episodes of them.

I'm not sure who is worse at getting out a fansub, Nanashi or Wannabe. Why do you want us to suffer the wrath of one month episode releases, chato?

Actually Wannabe got the School Rumble OVAs out pretty quickly. If they can actually do a one a week release I would be happy.

Also, Anime United had pretty bad encoding for Rec but their subs weren't bad at all.

Well its not like I'm going to ignore the other sub groups. Whichever comes out first will be posted by me or one of the members that get to it first. But its true that Wannabe and Nanashi have the best quality episodes for them.

I guess another reason for keeping Wannabe Fansubs is because i make my own dvds out of them.

if Wannabe can actually get on the fucking ball this time. it got agonizing waiting for episodes during the first season, and they only just recently released the 27th episode...
they're just lucky they've got dynamite translations.

umm.. that was a fake, amigo. It was just something made by WannabeFansubs' Eri-fan Club..

Umm, just an outta topic question.. but hows the manga progress of School Rumble? I know a few scanlation team dropped it due to licensing... so is anygroup out there doing it still?

I see raw releases. but i dunno anyone as of yet. How bout Kaphwan86? He might know.

Yeah, since the manga was licensed by Del Rey I've decided to support them since they're the only people I trust not to screw up manga these days. There were a lot of interesting translation notes in the back of this one. Just too bad volume 2 won't be out until May, but hey they do a good job so it's all good.

Mahora-Manga still scanlates it. But at their rate, the anime will be caught up to them in no time.

so are we going to get some fillers in this season as well?

School rumble... lol, one of the funniest, extreme anime I ever watch. I havent watched the entire season I eps since I have the manga. That UFO scene is just so hilarious. This serie reminds me of Va Dinci Cod somehow...

Why would we have fillers? The manga is now at chapter 172 and the anime is not even at 120. They can easily make 26 episodes. SR is not a mass episode series like Naruto or Bleach, so no need for fillers.

School Rumble is pratically a season long anime of fillers if you think about it.

and I meant the anime will pass the scanlations in no time, not the manga in Japan.

Thanks for the intro and outro. Looks like more new characters, and Harima staying clean shaven. Quick question for those who've been keeping up with the Japanese manga, who's this girl? She looks like fusion of Tenma and Yakuma, with Lala's skin tone... Wait a minute, did Lala do that to herself?!

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5830/sr26gw.jpg

The new outro, animation wise, is kinda boring. The first season's outro was a lot better, I really liked how they showed chibi Harima's appearance progression (which the season folowed suit to).

The new songs themselves are refreshing, as "Scramble" got old real fast for me.

Also, picked up Del Rey's release of School Rumble vol. 1, pretty good stuff. Caught a little mistake, they wrote Tenma's height as being 5'5" when it's clearly not (154cm is approximately 5'0"-5'1"). Only read up to Chapter 8, but I'm loving it. It's great to find out that the anime is quite loyal to the manga, so far I've seen all the jokes from the manga in the anime.

Here's hoping that Wannabe doesn't take their sweet ass time releasing the subs this season!

heh. I dont like that kid up there. The one that looks sleepy. Annoying and just boring to see. If i remember.. there was some episodes where i just skip some scenes cause he was in it. not a fan of that dude >.>

finally WF releases their first episode.

http://depthstrike.com/~wannabefansu...1].mp4.torrent

YES >_< *eagerly downloads it*
I can't wait to watch it, one killbyte at a time ~_~
thnx chato

welcome man. Only ..wtf is this mp4? damnit. I hope WF releases another version... No wonder it was over 250 gigs. but still.

MP4? The only way I ever play those files are with VLC player. gah how I hate vlc player. Hopefully they'll release an avi version later

yeah. also cause i want to make this into dvd format along with the next 12 episodes of the second season ^^;

Ahh, dammit, I was hoping they'd do avi releases cause I get playback problems with mp4. Bah, looks like I gotta update my codecs, or something, now.

OMG it was so funny as expected.
Next episode is the festival. Unlike the first season they're doing that in the beggining this time. I just love how Harima is understood. Damn I want it now ^_^

Wannabe are idiots. Seriously. What's the deal with mp4 anyway? I read the explanation thread on their forum, but I see nothing but bullshit. It'll be harder to back these episodes up on a cd because it takes up too much damn space.

damn I said gigs lol. I meant mb ^^:;. But anyway..I see alot of groups give out .mkv's as well. why the fuck? =/

Well some give out mkv's to give you the option to switch subtitles or languages or both. Although I don't know why they do that option sometimes when all we really need are subtitles and thats all they provide.
In any case, I would just be happy with .str being attached with avi files.

I downloaded the episode and I really don't notice the difference in qualities. Also, did those retards really thought advertising the site at the end of the episode would be necessary? Not only are they slow, they are also doing pointless stuff.

Geez. some people just need stick to one damn codec. While I can play .mp4 files from Kaizoku-Fansubs' One Piece, my computer refuses to play the .mp4's from wannabefansubs.

Learn to fucking encode properly. >_>

works fine on VLC, although I find that player so frustrating. Are there any plugins that can let me play it on BS player or MPC

uhhh I can also play it. the only problem i have is i can't encode it as dvdformat. ANYWAY.

another version by Your-Mom is out. if anyone wants it in .avi , go ahead.

http://www.point-blank.cc:16384/allo...E].avi.torrent

mp4 works fine in Media Player Classic. I don't really care about file formats and all that (I don't burn dvds to watch on tv) and I actually prefer bigger size if that means better quality.

episode 2 (in fast pace) is released by Your Mom. here it goes

http://www.point-blank.cc:16384/allo...1].avi.torrent

will be watching shortly.

Just finished watching it. damn was it hilarious, that girl seems to be very menipulative.
I never read the manga so the end of the episode was a surprise and so funny.

you know what might suck? the ending. why? (and i dont care about the manga so yeah) If Harima doesn't get with Tenma at all, then the series altogether sucks ass.

Yeah thats what I thought at first too when the first season ended. But from what I saw, the series takes alot of twist here and there (the ufo ending confused the hell out of me) So I think they might make some progress but eventually they may just go along their own ways. Although it would be better if tenma learned about harima and the scar.
Isn't the manga still going though, so theres alot more to the story right o_0

How are the subs my Your-Mom? I'm still halfway with the torrent and I was wondering if it's as good as WB (without ads bullshit).

*Apparently, they are not. The file is above 200 mb but it looks very grained. The subbing itself has some flaws, like misspelling a character's name in 2 different ways.

as long as you get the idea of what they're saying . its fine. WF are also releasing them in .avi format anyway. just look for the ones that start with []. and that is it ;p.

I saw the sub for episode 3. it was from Your Dad and omg was it ever bad. Wait for another release becuase your dad made the worst sub job i've ever seen.
They have quotes like "I dont know what he said here" and plus they spoil a scene or two. damn how I hate them. Other than that the episode was great, I just want to get a more accurate sub.

for real ? lol. well a few subs from other groups came out. Not sure about Wannabe-slow-Fansubs. but check around tokyo toshokan

Heh. I was sitting in at a Q&A with Jin Kobayashi (teh creator of School Rumble) at an anime convention this past weekend. A question was asked as to the ending of School Rumble, if he had any idea on how it will end. His response was that he has a "vague" idea on how it will end, but as continues writing, it constantly changes.

Oh yeah, Jin Kobayashi looks almost exactly like Harima (clothes, glasses, even facial hair). Pictures to come.

WF finally released episode 3. I'm ganna rewatch it since Your Dad totally sucked ^_^

http://wannabefansubs.edwardk.info/%...5D.mp4.torrent

you guys are crazy. Harima and Eri forever. can't you tell that that's the direction they're going in?
I'd even take Harima and Yakumo. I don't think Harima and Tenma would go very well.
besides, Tenma's MY girlfriend.

thanks shen. But this whole mp4 thing is getting on my nerves..not only them but other people are doing it now >.>. Gintama is one of them ;_;.

As for the whole "who loves who ?" thing, I'd rather have Harima be with Yakumo. Tenma is blind yet very stupid and the only thing that holds them back is the script's jokes of not getting straight to the point ;p.

Darth, how bout them pictures? ^^;

There doesn't seem to be any direct love connection between anyone. Only one-sided love through out all the character (exept the extras). And Harima is getting all the love ^_^ or atleast most of it

if you're have trouble with mp4, just download CCCP. it solves all the problems very easily, so you can view mp4 with whatever media player you want.

http://www.cccp-project.net/download.php

his problem isn't playing it but the fact that he can't put it in dvd format or something ^_^

he's said many times that Harima's his favorite character and the character that he put the most of himself into, so that's really unsurprising. he kind of pokes fun at this fact when he shows Harima's manga (Harima's main character always looks exactly like himself).
I would really like to meet him, as he seems really personable and friendly.
does he speak English well?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../kobayashi.jpg

The guy in white is Kobayashi.

woah kobayashi is awsome haha.
Anyways, wannabe finally released episode 4. I didn't see a link to a torrent though, instead they are directly hosting it in their site.
http://wannabefansubs.net/
I'm getting it right now and as always, its mp4.

EDIT:
every episode just keeps getting better. Harima keeps on getting misunderstood but is the biggest center of attention so far. It was hilarious seeing him eat the girls cooking up to the point he shed a tear ^_^

finally? it only aired a few days ago. cut them some slack. it's better than Shrimps'.
it's still downloading for me. I wish I knew where to find manga scans. winkwink.

Make that 6, but whatever. Just google for the scans, they aren't hard to find.

at least they're more on the ball this time than the last time. you have to admit that.

here's the manga.

http://www.stoptazmo.com/school_rumble/

As for the subs. i dont really care anymore. But i do know how to convert mp4's so im back in business with this anime ^-^

Nah, he requires the use of a translator to communicate with English speakers.

Episode 5 is released
http://www.no-sry.net/
It's a direct download. I'm getting it right now and I can't wait to see it ^_^
Seems like their going to start off with the cafe but I can't wait to see what the girl comes up for the play. Probably an attempt for an eri and harima romance?

I watched episode 2-4 yesterday. The comedy is picking up again. IMHO, I'd prefer Harima and Eri to get together. Tsukamoto Tenma is getting boring in every episode. I'll definately watch episode 5 when i get out of work tonight. Which reminds me that i have to edit the first post for better info >.<;.

Is anyone else stil watching this ?

Episode 11 was released a few minutes ago.

I've seen up to episode 9. Wannabe's site is down so I can't get 10 or 11 but i'll see if i give yourmom another chance :/
The cookoff challenge was hillarious though, one of my favorites.School rumble just keeps getting better ^_^

I got kinda excited when I read 11 just came out. But i'm a loyal WF viewer. besides i'm in no rush to watch the episodes.

Your_Mom is a stupid group name, as well.

the 10th episode by WF came out a while ago. Check Tokyo Toshokan.

Are you sure? According to the IRC channel they still have not released the 10th episode yet, and it was also confirmed by one of the translators that they haven't finished it yet.

A fake file perhaps?

I just checked and the file was a fake. So be careful everyone. >.<


So far the series is going well. And we also got the return of "Harry Mackenzie "

Anyone know if WF has release new episodes?

They are still dealing with being DDoS'd and fighting with one another over what to do to get things back to normal. They just can't agree on what to do so the releases are being delayed until a solution is reached.

Going to their IRC channel and mentioning anything related to School Rumble will get you autobanned as well, so the only options are to wait and see if anything pops up on tokyotosho and baka-updates (or any other torrent sites), or go with [Your-Mom] fansubs.

Meh if the quality of the fansubs is anything like the group name, then I really don't want to try it.

I'll wait a while before I try a different group. I really hope they get their act together fast. =/

Out of desperation I've been watching these [Your-mom] fansubs, because I honestly doubt we'll see any WF fansubs for a long time, if ever, and I have to say, i'm liking where this is going.

In season 1 there were a few hints that Yakumo likes Harima, but in season 2 it seems to grow stronger and stronger, and the last 2 episodes was really something. I truly hope those 2 will end up together, but harima still doesn't feel anything for her at all. My fingers are crossed.

yeah I've been doing the same thing. The newest subbed one was episode 14.
They do a good enough job to understand the plot but I hated it when they put up a link to their site so that we could understand what a word meant >_<
Overall very funny though. Episode 13 is a MUST watch.

Oh?

Looks like WF is back in business. Episode 10 and 11 are out.

Just watched episode 15. Seems like i much rather have Kenji and Yakumo get together and not Tenma. This story doesn't revolve much on her anyway. She's getting more boring by the second that i watch each episode.

I wish there were more people who liked SR >.>.

I just saw episode 15 and I can't wait for the release of 16.
And I see what your saying, tenma is 1 minute comedy now. It's all about harima now. School rumble 1 had alot more focus on her. I dont mind it much though, harima's my hero :tpg:

Just chekd out episode 17. I think now in the episode. We can all say (well i can) that I do not like Tenma anymore. Besides her being the 1 min comedy. She shouldn't be around at all.

It was mostly Harima (in a perfect disguise ) helping out Eri and her depressed phase about her arranged marriage . that is all im gonna say. What do you guys think of the episode?

I was hoping more would happen between harima and eri so i was slightly disappointed. What happened wasn't unexpected however. Harima should be going for better girls... such as anyone besides tenma.

True. Tenma just gets boring by the second ( yeah im repeatin' myself still )

In related news. Funimation has earned rights to School Rumble season 1 and 2 including the ova's and will start releasing dvds in 2007.

has anybody still been watching this. The last episode of nigakki airs next week and episode 25 was left with a sort of cliffhanger. Although it could be something like the end of the first season.
Anyhow it seems like there may be some harima and tenma love but i'm hoping for a third season ^_^

Yeah. Im just about tired of all this Harima and Tenma. Since we saw some stupid magical angel pop out before Yakumo, looks like we'll be getting a 3rd semester season. Can't wait for that ;p.

how many seasons is School rumble gonna have? don't tell me its gonna be another Ranma :|

I think we'll have to wait for some official news on the third season but so far it looks very likely.
I wouldn't mind if it keeps going though I enjoy every single episode.

True. I think im seeing tenma in a positive way now.

Double Post:
Just saw episode 26 RAW version. It's about fucking time..

edit:There were some funny scenes. But yeah. There should be a 3rd installment to this series. Because of that, I decided to get the US dvds >=p. This will be the first time im getting US dvds since GTO.

School Rumble is a great show, but it's taking so damn long for the appereance of a couple that I'm almost getting bored by waiting.

The good is that another semester means another full season of great jokes and funny moments.

I'm waiting so badly for Yakumo to be with someone this season, she's my favorite character, and it would be a shame if she stayed alone.

It was great but it's losing some story to it. It's getting a bit too random now and I hate that; reminds me Excel Saga and that was horrible. The love square or pentagon.. is what I really like about the show plus the comedy in it. It's one silly misunderstanding after another and they get more closer to each other.

And yes, the subs are taking forever. I can't remember the last time I grabbed an episode. The same goes for Tsubasa Chronicle.

the only ones subbing this are [your mom] I think. I haven't seen a wannabe release since episode 11.
The last episode was lots of fun with secrets revealed then forgotten so it kinda sucked that way. It just left me wanting more ^_^

I heard that we are going to have to wait a long time for third term anime, since the manga for third term isn't out yet...gosh..I hope not..

I haven't seen any of these since episode 10 or 11, so I'm glad FUNimation will be releasing this (and Beck!). they did a really good job with Fullmetal Alchemist, so I can only hope that carries over to two of my favorite series.

I hope Wannabe Fansub or "Your-Mom" subs this. This OVA covers a few plotholes from season 1-2. Not sure if thats true but the opening theme is Scramble so it might be just season 1. This is a good sign since we'll be seeing season 3 heading our way soon.

Sweet, heh I still have to finish season 2. Your-Mom will most likely be subbing this, but I doubt Wannade Fansubs will though since School Rumble's been licensed (which sucks).

Wannabe Fansubs stopped SR because their translator ran out on them... but I doubt they would bother with doing SR again.

They would constantly mention in their IRC channel that they were so tired of the leechers and haters that they didn't want to bother fansubbing anymore.

I remember hating on this anime way back when the first season aired. then one day , I got hooked on it right away and watched 3 episodes during shop period. I don't see how anyone dislikes this anime but its whatever I guess.

Oh, and I also checked out that OVA. Unfortunately it was RAW but:

So the RAW for the OVA is already out?
hopefully a decent group will sub it. I loved the series from the first time I saw it I just hope it doesn't go bland.
Has season 3 actually been confirmed?

Actually, there are two episodes to this OVA. No 3rd season confirmation just yet unfortunately =/. Though these two OVA's might be a little introduction to it. Ep 1 and 2 answers questions from s1 and 2.

School Rumble UPDATE
 

Important Bump for SR fans : School Rumble Third Term announced

School Rumble Third Term Teaser Site


Some good shit there. For those who never heard of this series, the first season is already out (a re-released boxset will come in August) in the US following the OVA and Second semester starting July.

I've been following the manga and I'm still not sure where the series is heading. It does and doesn't look like it's ending. It's odd like that. It's amusing to see scenes from some of the most recent chapters already being animated though.

not sure if I should post it here but I don't feel like creating a new thread when no new series has been confirmed.

New ova came out and its subbed. It seems to have skipped all the way to last part of the third semester and since i don't read the manga I was lost in a few things.
Anyways It's called School rumble San Gakki and it didn't retain the level of comedy mostly because its suppose to be the so called finale. But it was awesome to to finally see some emotion come out of karasuma.
I got it from a sub group called chichiro and they used some over sized text which was a real put off imo.

Daaamn.. wtf happened to episode 1-24 of the third semester? O.o:; . Anyway I'll check it out. No comedy is sort of a good thing on my part. Most of their jokes are the same or the other way around.

If you want you can go read the rest of it over at onemanga as the manga just finished. It had really meh ending. Basically a few people who are not the main characters hook up and not too much is really resolved. It's one of those "and the characters go on being themselves" endings. It's not terrible but you are left hanging a bit more than you'd like.

School Rumble 2 will be starting sometime in August. I have no idea if it'll be related but it'll probably be fun. I'm gonna miss seeing Harima if it's not related.
