Ressurect the American Dream... this time as a 100 foot-tall atomic monster.

SR is School Rumble, the single funniest Japanese animated romantic comedy EVAR. The short story is that Tsukamoto Tenma, a 16 year old girl, is head over heels in love with Karasuma Oji, one of her classmates, but cannot confess her love. At the same time, semi-reformed delinquent, Harima Kenji, loves Tenma but also cannot quite express his feelings to her. This simple love triangle definition only applies about until episode 4 or so of the first series... from there it just gets more and more complicated as it turns out that nearly every character in the show is romanticly linked to at least two other characters... and it is reavealed that not a single goddamn member of Class 2-c could possibly pass for sane. Tea-club conspiracies, empty-pool hockey matches, curry vs nikujaga, and more onigiri than you can shake a stick at.

One of the best things about this series is that by the end of the first season almost every member of class 2-C (the class most of our protagonists come from) are actually fleshed out enough that even if you forget their name, you remember who they are, what they're into, and who they're interested in. Where most shows really only tell you about two or three characters, this show really makes you feel for the entire cast. So deep is this development that there are roughly 35 factions on the major SR forums, each supporting a different relationship put forth in the series.

And my reference to committing suicide was a joke meant to express how sad the ending to episode 9 of the second series of School Rumble... which it really was, with someone realizing that their affection would never be returned because the target was after one of their friends and letting go of it was the best option... then the really bittersweet song began playing as the ending began.

Areku-chan! I thought I saw you at work, and since it wasn't you, it made me realize how much I miss you already! crying

..how the hell would you have seen me at work? rofl

As for missing me, I don't even know what's going on anymore. I'm kind of stressing out over everything and confused on what to do.

-sends some to you-

I haven't seen any Japanese bands come to Chicago (minus cons) until now. Maybe I'll drug my parents so they'll say yes and have my sister take me.. ninja

Would it help if I go on a statewide rampage sometime after work tomorrow? I figure seeing your daddy on the news/in the papers/shrugging off the best suppressive fire the US Army has to offer would cheer you up.
