Tsukamoto Tenma is young, bright, and smitten with the school hottie Karasuma Ooji. She's desperate for his attention, which is unfortunate considering he barely gives her the time of day! Throw Harima Kenji, the school delinquent with a crush on Tsukamoto into the mix and you've got one twisted love triangle of unrequited proportions! Can love find the trio happiness before their attention-grabbing stunts end up hurting more than their egos?
Ten-year-old genius Chiyo, animal-loving Sakaki, loudmouth Tomo, athletic Kagura, weight-conscious Yomi and dim-witted Osaka are six friends who share laughs, good times, and a high school homeroom. With scary (and sometimes perverted) teachers, school festivals, penguin suits and general hilarity abounding, you can be sure that there's never a dull day in the life of one of these students!
Both series primarily consist of silly anecdotes in the lives of school children. Whereas Azumanga focuses on the female characters, School Rumble has a more mixed gendered cast, and so you'll see more physical fighting (between two male rivals) and romance (between male and female characters) than in Azumanga.
Both series are about a group of high school girls. Compared to other series the characters are rather flat, and most of the episodes aren't really part of one big epic story; though at least in School Rumble there is some kind of progress in the story. Both series are some of the most humorous, funny (really, sometimes I laughed so much I cried) and silly anime I've ever seen. Although the humour and characters in both series are different, it's not a bad idea to give the other a try if you liked one.
Both anime feature humourous and realistic high school scenarios. School Rumble focuses more on the interactions between the boys and the girls, while Azumanga Daioh focuses on the girls' group and their actions within it.
Azumanga Daioh is not about plot development, it's about the gags in each animated short.
When thinking about high school comedies, Azumanga and School Rumble are two of the best. Though SR is more a love comedy while Azumanga portrays daily life, these themes are negligible as it's only what makes the humour get going.
Both Azumanga Daioh and School Rumble present a youthful, cheerful, energetic, humorous, and lovely Japanese high school drama. Their characters and environments are similar, and both are very light and fun to watch. I highly recommend both of them.
Both Azumanga Daioh and School Rumble deal with the daily lives of students who have very specific characteristics and unusual personalities. Because of these characteristics, every day and every event takes an unexpected turn and becomes hilarious.
This recommendation is obvious; if you like the trials and tribulations of Japanese high school life, these are both series that highlight this perfectly -- with hilarious results! The difference is that SR focuses on young love and the inability to confess, while AD focuses on the quirks of the different people who make up the main group of friends.
It has the same feel, and same chracters settings. Both are great comedys dealing with high-school life, with random stuff happening in most episodes.
Azumanga Daioh is probably the most random anime! Utterly hillarious and with a bunch of unique, funny and cheerful characters! Well, School Rumble is just like that! With the exception of havin a lot of romance misunderstandings, School Rumble moments do remind the adventures of the 6 Azumanga Daioh friends! I recommend School Rumble 100%! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Both of these shows are slapslick comedies featuring a class of high school kids. Even the character designs are somewhat similar in both shows. If you are a fan of one of these and like that style of comedy, be sure to give the other a try.
Although Azumanga Daioh does't have the tricky love webs that School Rumble does, the majority of the jokes are very similar with everyday, slice-of-life comedy in many random moments.
School can be so boring, I take it you all know that. But in Azumanga and School Rumble, they don't even know the word 'boring'! A random group of classmates and the events happening around them make sure there's always something going on!
i also liked this anime because it involves realy crazy and unique characters as school rumble does, they also create very funny and some how strange situation, that only remembering them make ma laugh, if school rumble made you laught as much that you thinck you could`t laugh any more, be sure that azumanga daioh will also do it
While Azumanga Daioh is primarily slice of life and School Rumble focuses on romance, both have a similar sort of feel to them. Both feature the same sort of wacky and at times random comedy, so if one tickled your fancy, the other might do too.
Sagara Sousuke is far from the average high school student -- not only is he highly trained in military tactics, he puts his knowledge to use in every single applicable situation (and even those nonapplicable ones.) So, when confronted with high school, he tends to turn average high school experiences into off-the-wall adventures. Love letters become terrorist threats and field trips become commando operations; his survival depends on the watchful eye of his best friend and classmate, Chidori. Together, they may just make it out of high school alive...
Fumoffu's comedy is based off of sheer randomness and a wonderfully common-sense-deficient character, whereas School Rumble bases its comedy on sheer randomness, common-sense-deficient characters, and romantic misunderstandings. So, aside from one extra factor on the part of Rumble, (and Fumoffu does actually have romance, it just isn't used as much for jokes) these are two remarkably similar anime. If you enjoyed the comedy in one, you should find a good bit of it present in the other.
If you want to lighten up your mood and you just want to watch some slightly senseless events happening, both School Rumble and Fumoffu can serve you tons of laughter. Both these series left me teary-eyed from laughing. So if you liked one, I'm sure that you'll going to love and get addicted to the other.
In School Rumble and FMP:F, the main lead has absolutely zero idea about romance. This of course makes a lot of funny things happen which we all enjoy.
What happens when those driven by speed, power and cunning attend high school?
Whether it's the soldier from the battlefield or the famous devil from the streets, both main characters don't fit easily into Japanese school life. But it sure as hell is funny to watch them struggle for love and peace!
They both take an everyday thing, something that we see daily, such as school kids, and elaborate upon their experiences... except they do it in a hilarious way that you would guess is not quite your everyday experience
Just like School Rumble, Full Metal Panic is a romance comedy filled with laughs, awkward embarassing moments, and confused feelings. Both take place at a high school and have a wide range of characters who are all looking for happines and a good time.
Keitaro Urashima is somewhat of a failure. In order to fulfill a promise he made to a girl fifteen years ago, he has tried time and again to get into Tokyo U but has never managed to pass the exam. However, fate smiles upon him and he ends up working for his aunt, managing an all-girls dorm! Living with the feral Kaolla, the timid Shinobu, the sake-loving Mitsune, the blade mistress Motoko and the punch-happy Naru, can Keitaro keep his focus and keep his promise? And will he ever end up meeting that girl from his past?
School Rumble is similar to Love Hina in the sense that it is also about young people, students, their love relations and all the funny things that happen around them.
In both, you'll find very similar kind of sense of humor, completely clumsy characters that won't know what to do when close to their loved ones, daydreamers and many surprises in the plot.
Anyone is sure to relate to a character of each of these anime in a very funny way.
Just one hilariously awkward situation right after the other - School Rumble and Love Hina have more than plenty. In both series, the male lead hopelessly tries to chase after the girl of his dreams but somehow just ends up in more ecchi situations than one guy can handle. If you're up for a good laugh with a good love story, these anime are what you're looking for.
These are harem love comedies where the comedy takes the biggest priority. The main characters are just too dense and make tons of mistakes leading to unfortunate, yet funny, situations. Let's just say that Love Hina is the old-school mother of the genre, while School Rumble is its redefined granddaughter.
The total bizarre and random humour, coupled with the crazy love triangles makes Love Hina very similar to School Rumble. Both are very well animated and are very lively anime. Although Love Hina has a more complete plot, School Rumble's humour is a little stronger and makes up for any plot holes that may pop up. They both left me with that huge desire for more at their conclusions as well. If you liked either of these anime then you should enjoy the other immensely.
Both of those Anime have similiar dosage of humor and place main character into close situations wich gave us fun an very high level... There are both light and you can watch them any time.
With a history of leading a motorcycle gang and getting bad grades in school, why would 22 year old Onizuka ever want to become a teacher? Is it to educate young minds or spread the joy of education? Sure, if it involves being able to look up high school girls' skirts! Watch as this would-be educator uses his own life lessons and unconstituted methods as a means to control a delinquent class of students -- students who certainly aren't as happy to have him as a teacher as he is happy to be teaching...
School Rumble and GTO are very similar. Both series take place in the school and they are comedies too. GTO is a little bit longer than School Rumble, but if you liked one, you'd like the other! They are brilliant!
Great Teacher Onizuka and the School Rumble series are based in a high school setting with a large host of quirky characters. The male leads, Onizuka in GTO and Harima Kenji in School Rumble offer the cliched but lovable delinquent/bad-ass complex with a softer side. Despite the situations these two find themselves in, their character developments are natural and genuinely likeable because of their (overly) optimistic personalities and completely irregular methods of dealing with the situation. A difficult thing accomplished by both series is that this quality is not restricted to the leads but evident with all the characters introduced (and there are many). The plot developments are funny and the subtle changes in characters throughout the series always entertaining and absurd. If you enjoyed the sheer crazy humour brought on by the characters in one, you will love the other.
Another school life anime with lots of laughs coming from the students, and even the teacher himself. With a class that is out of control Onizuka comes up with outrageous lessons for them to learn.
These two series have many similarities. First of all both are set in a highschool setting, which give them much of thier comedy,(let me just say it' s really abundant in both) So if you like to laugh at some random humour then these series are for you. School rumble is set around two main characters a really simple and naive girl whom a tough guy is infatuated with however all his attempts at confessing are misunderstood mainly because of his bad boy status. IN GTO the main character is a an ex bike gang leader turned teacher. As you can see they both have the misunderstood bad boy element as well. In GTO most of the comedy is based on Onizuka's actions and reactions to his students behavior. If you liked one's sense of comedy then you may just love the other's. They are both great series and keep you laghing and entertained all the way. they also both have a decent amount of character build and a great plot to boot! so you can' miss out on these two great anime!
Tohru Honda is a compassionate girl who is down on her luck. Her mother having recently died, she has been forced to camp out in the woods for shelter. However, things start to turn around once she is invited to live with class hunk Yuki Sohma and his family... but all is not as it seems! Yuki's family is burdened with a dark curse which causes them to turn into the animals of the Chinese zodiac once hugged by a member of the opposite sex... and Honda may be the only one who can help them.
Fruits Basket is definitely a must see TV show. It is similar to School Rumble, not as much as some of the other TV shows, but if you ever feel like watching a great romance/comedy series with a little bit of sadness, Fruits Basket will blow you away in all of those aspects. ;D
Aside from having adorable character design and wonderful colours, Fruits Basket and School Rumble approach humour in the same style. There's a variety of characters and they all have bounds of energy. Both series have romance, but execute it differently. School Rumble initiates through love chasings, Fruits Basket brings it in subtly through character depth.
Fruits Basket and School Rumble are two romance-comedy-school life anime! They are both about love and misunderstandings, careless moments of one's school life and how to overcome minor problems (from being caught up in a funny romance trio, to being in a family where a hug might turn you into an animal!).
