The second year of high school is starting and things are still as crazy as always. Despite numerous attempts, the ever-so-hopeful Harima and the overly-naïve Tenma failed to get their message of love across. Now they are pumped up for a new term and ready to renew their illustrious and self-destructing attempts at a confession! But be it a love infested manga or even a gigantic plate of curry; nothing seems to do the trick. What other methods can they take, as the old love triangle is expanding at an alarming rate?!
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...
School Rumble 2 and Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu are both dealing with uncommon school lifes. The protagonists in these anime have no idea about love, therefore many unforseen and funny things happen.
FMP: Fumoffu? is on the same level with School Rumble. If you watch any of these series you have to laugh nearly all the time, because of the magnificent comedy, which these anime are sharing.
If you take away the love-driven story line from School Rumble (as was done IMO in Nigakki more than in the first season) the humour based randomness that's left would be quite similar to FMP? Fumoffu.
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!
If you enjoyed School Rumble 2 then you may want to try Azumanga Daioh. Both series share a similarly wacky sense of humour and if you liked that, then both of these series may be for you.
While visiting his hometown, junior high school student Michishio Nagasumi's life was changed forever when he nearly drowned. Though he was saved by a mermaid named San, there’s a catch -- her family is part of a merfolk mafia, and they abide by a strict rule: If a mermaid is discovered by a man, either he or the mermaid must die. That is, unless the man marries into the family! Faced with such a decision, Nagasumi can only oblige their customs and become a "happy" newlywed. Now, with a new school year around the corner, Nagasumi must find a way to deal with his new bride, keep her true nature a secret, and most importantly, escape inevitable death at the hands of San's over-protective father’s gang!
Seto no Hanayome and School Rumble 2 are both great slapstick, school life, comedy anime. They share the same random kind of humor. You have to see these anime if you like this kind of comedy.
Seto no Hanayome has slightly more action, but School Rumble was in my opinion a bit funnier.
Ayumi, Kei, Koyoi, Rika and Nao are five middle school friends whose hot topic of conversation is, as always, love. Ayumi dreams of having a boy confess to her and can't understand the idea that receiving unwanted confessions can be troublesome. She even believes that she will happily accept any guy who approaches her - that is, until she receives a love letter from Misao, a large, delinquent high school boy whose very presence makes small children cry! Not wanting to date him but too scared to reject him, Ayumi has no idea what to do, especially when Misao, now nicknamed Beast-kun by the girls, begins following her to and from school. To make matters worse, Ayumi then falls for Mamoru, a boy in her class who is Beast-kun's brother! With plenty of experiences in life and love left ahead, will the girls retain their naive beliefs, or is it time to shake off that brother complex and realize that appearances aren't everything?
If you liked School Rumble 2 then check out Hatsukoi Limited. Both series are set in the school environment and focus on the complicated love lives of the students. Both are essentially ensemble series and have a healthy dose of comedy about them, so if you like this, then try both of these series out.
