Good news. I knew that School Rumble would make the states licensed soon.
Unfortunately (for those who don't know).....
FUNimation licensed it. FUNimation.
FUNimation who did a horrid job at voice actors for the new Negima anime. Now i'm not saying that School Rumble is gonna lean towards the same direction because School Rumble & Negima are two different things, but the voice acting they had for Negima was just garbage.
I was looking forward to ADV or Geneon but as long as it is available in the states dubbed in English it's fine but i'm a little curious about the voice acting. I sure hope they don't screw up Yakumo's voice.
Overall this is indeed great news. Expect to see School Rumble do good in the market. Still, it can never reach the success that Azumanga Daioh had. I really don't see too many comparrisons between School Rumble and Azumanga Daioh other then character similiarities. Two that i've seened so far.
The only thing close to Azumanga Daioh right now is Strawberry Marshmallow. School Rumble is no where near.
