School Rumble 2nd Term – Anime Review

Tuesday, 26 October, 2010


Review: This anime continues where the popular first season of School Rumble (05.10.2004 till 29.03.2005) left off. School Rumble is one of the best school comedy anime shows. The characters are incredibly funny and unique. There isn’t really much of a developing story; it’s mainly about the daily school and love life of the School Rumble characters similar to other anime comedy shows, but that doesn’t mean that it’s boring in any way. In fact School Rumble reached cult status in Japan, the manga series is still ongoing and it’s no surprise a second season is being made. It’s a must-see for every anime comedy fan.
