[edit] video games

anyone playing the games? pls expand the video game section. dunno how to sign my name.

[edit] clean up

lots of this article needs to be re-written, and the formatting is a little off as far as anime wikipedia articles go. Examples of good anime / manga articles: Naruto (manga), Azumanga Daioh --Ned Scott 23:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

A section on Harima doesn't make sense quite that much to our standard communication. For instance, "but a few people can match him," before this phrase was given it says he isn't a delinquent and is not in any martial arts clubs. The summed up result of what you get from him not being in a martial arts club and a few people that can match him makes it sound confusing. Wouldn't it sound better if you were to say, "but only a few people can match him"? Just to let you know, it only said a few. InternationalEducation 11:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

Why is a category specifically named for this anime, that has as it's parents the exact same two categories that this article is in, not a better category for this article? Pushing articles down into more specific categories is done all the time, and is the normal method of reducing clutter in the more general categories. - TexasAndroid 14:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree, but it's useless when there is only one page in that category. When viewing the category listings for Anime or Manga you don't find this article any faster with a "School Rumble" category. If there was more than one School Rumble article then it would make sense.--Ned Scott 21:37, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US Release

This is more for personal interest than anything else, but has anyone heard anything about a US DVD and/or manga release of School Rumble? Staxringold 11:45, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I know that the manga is licensed and being sold in English. Erm, just search Amazon.com for "School Rumble". By the way, I don't think the anime (as opposed to the manga) has EVER been licensed. I am correcting it, as there is no source, nor a link to nor name of the company who supposedly did. 134.48.103.32 20:58, 09 May 2006 (GMT)

It has, as noted at Fansub#Recent lawsuits. There just hasn't been any details released about who licensed it and when it will come out. -- Ned Scott 23:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Err, correction, it seems that's just the original Japanese company. So... ok, I got nothing. -- Ned Scott 23:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

FUNimation has licensed the first two seasons and the OVA. [1] --Remy Suen 19:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ep. 7

isn't the reaction in ep. 7 season 2 a parodey about Yakitate!! Japan?! I was pretty sure about it till I read this...

Cooking Master Boy is also a valid referenc, as CMB precedes Yakitate!! Japan. Besides, YJ was mainly about bread making, CMB was definitely more about cooking in general, so the parody would bear more resemblance to that, than to YJ. DigitalDrunkenMonkey 08:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 2, Episode 21

The following are references I identified while watching the episode. If they are considered relevant to the article, maybe someone can edit them in with a better English than I could.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Mai's outfit is very close to Sakura's outfit, and the sceptre is very close to the design of the Key of the Seal. The wings in the sceptre are a reference to the Windy card. Although Iori is black, the winged design is a close reference to Kero-chan.

Saint Seiya: the greek temple setting in the mountain is a reference to the Sanctuary in Saint Seiya, as well as the idea of passing thru an enemy in such "temple".

Mazinger Z: in the "fusion" animation, the female-looking robot design is a reference to the Aphrodite. --VManOfMana 03:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Rinko"

There is a picture of "Rinko" that keeps on being used for Kido Madoka. Just thought like pointing that out.

[edit] More 2-C characters

Shin Misawa and Mina Yukino are missing from the 2-C character list. To the best of my knowledge, the rest of the 2-C classmates remain unnamed, except for a short haired girl named Kaori who is not identifiable in the anime and a boy named Saito who only recently was named in the manga. update: I don't know when you guys are going to add the other 2-C characters, I was looking at the Japanese wiki entry for School Rumble characters and thought I would sum up what they wrote about Mina Yukino:

Mina Yukino - This character's distinguishing feature is her wavy hair. She is often seen in the background with Rinko. She was part of the Tea Shop team during the survival game. It is interesting to note that she has remained unnamed in the manga and that her name was introduced in the anime. She appears on volume 9's cover insert.

Of course this should be rewritten to something more fitting for the english audiences.

[edit] More detailed character relationships chart is needed

The current one highlights some of the major relationships, but is not enough.

We need a more extensive chart, such as this one from Eri Fan Club Propaganda Office (http://efcpo.altervista.org):

http://efcpo.altervista.org/Immagini/%5BEFCPO%5DSchool_Rumble_RChart%5Beng%5D.jpg

It is missing Nagayama Toki x Tanaka Kazuya, however.

ZhangKhaiEn 00:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm.. i think you should write more about KarasumaxTenma. Why dont Harima ever give up? It's just like Naruto (Harima) Sakura (Tenma) and Sasuke (Karasuma) from "Naruto" XD well well.. :D 'Cause i think Karasuma loves her o_O

[edit] Episode 21

In the episode 21 of season 1. Are the two girls appeared who are talking about a make wearing sun-glasses when Hanai come back to the city(just after the opening theme) a parody of Futari wa Pretty Cure. ? I guess they look really similar to the protagonists of Futari wa Pretty Cure. If this is true, we may add this to the travia section. --Yiksung 07:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eri and her family

Just a little edit I did, added some information about Eri's family. In episode 11 of the first season, Eri mentions that she's only studying in Japan, her mother runs a company in Sweden.

This might either be a simplification of her situation(she's telling this to a boy who's obviously hitting on her), or may in fact be the truth, 'though I have yet to encounter a scene where she mentions she's actually FROM Sweden. In my personal opinion, this may be a nod to the rather international success of the IKEA company, or perhaps similar to Ericsson (a Swedish cellular phone-company), which only a couple of years ago merged with Sony.

This isn't really all that important, but as a fellow Swede, I want to bring more attention to Eri-chan. ;)

Any thoughts? --AnnKalanie

She's from England, actually. And that statement might well be made up to thrwart the guy. Anyways, since it's not confirmed that her mother actually runs a company in Sweden I'll have to remove that, sorry. _dk 09:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mugshots

I was looking through the list of class members and several listed don't have any mugshots, was this a conscious choice(since they aren't majorly important to the plot) or are they yet to be added? If the latter is the case, I could probably dig out some good images of the characters. Just a thought.

--AnnKalanie

I have added mugshots for some characters that didnt have.I will add more if i can.

--Seriossebi

[edit] Ideas for cleaning up.

Take the following into consideration. Have additonal pages like:

List of Characters in School Rumble - Possibly list this with the Seiyuu?

List of pop culture references in School Rumble - Replacement for the 'Cameos & Parodies' section.

Discuss.

RedEyesMetal 20:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly. _dk 00:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

List of pop culture references in School Rumble sounds like an interesting idea and this article currently reads like it because of the split characters section. --Squilibob 00:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Done the first one --Skoban 09:35, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Can someone fix the article for this section? I come to the article to check out the references per episode and it's gone and replaced by a link to a non existant article. What's the deal? Brend0 11:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plagarism?

Is it okay for the wiki article to be pratically copy/pasted on a different site? 203.59.165.76 04:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, so long as the GFDL is followed. -- Gwern (contribs) 05:04, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sharp, flat, natural

"The ? chapters 1-7 focus on Yakumo, chapter ?8 focuses on Suou Mikoto and Hanai Haruki, and later ? chapters feature minor characters from the main storyline or ? episodes viewed from an alternative perspective." That's just great for someone without those characters support... Why couldn't it be written sharp, flat or natural instead of each symbol? 200.230.213.152 04:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latest Manga Chapters?

Does anyone know what the latest chapter for the manga is? And on what day the new chapters are being released(so the same as the release day of new issues of Weekly Shonen Magazine - in which School Rumble is serialised)? As far as I'm aware, the latest chapter is 198, which I added along with the 14 volumes. Thanks. Armuk 17:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Review

I think this article needs a bit of work. I am taking it to Peer review to get ideas for cleaning it up. --Squilibob 07:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to G.E.999

I think that the ending visuals for the first OVA episode (that was taken from an episode of the original School Rumble anime ) references Galaxy Express 999, during when the camera shows Tenma sleeping on Harima's shoulder and then pans out to reveal the train flying out into space. Dagari 02:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes it is, not that it matters. _dk 05:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
