Its like my number 3 anime of all time. It starts pretty slow so hang in there because once it gets going you will appreciate the early stuff more.
NO! Love Hina is the classic comedy/harem. it shouldn't be missed.

OP never gets old.
From what I keep reading about this, the author is against an anime adaptation.
Daily Lives of High School Boys is pretty much the spiritual successor to School Rumble, so I'd say go with that.
I love Nichijou, some people aren't amused by it, and others think that the jokes wear themselves out, or that the series is too long. There's a lot of gag humor and character jokes but it's great stuff all around.
classic or not, I think Jungle Wa deserves more attention as a comedy, and has more in common with the school theme of the other shows he was planning than Love Hina (though its still a bit of a stretch)

I can agree with that. I won't dissuade anyone from classics though, besides something like School Days*.

classically awful
Cromartie High's pretty good but I'd recommend Gintama and the upcoming Binbougami Ga! if you're looking for something similar to Nichibros.

wonzo and firehawk. If you ever get the urge for Toku stuff again. Check out Garo. Good choreographed fights, dark demon related stuff, also tits.
Pretty much an 'adult' toku.

So this Jinrui something something is certainly... something. The entire time I thought someone slipped a few pills in my drinks. Also, the faeries are totes creepy. It's like they came out of a Stephen King novel. She (can't remember what she's called besides sensei) also had a moment of personality shift that can be construed as mental. Consider my sanity challenged!
Love Hina's manga is significantly better than it's anime. If you're going to add it to your "watch" list you should strike it off and add it to your "read" list.

Sure, sure. Notice how he selectively responds to people.
But this is the anime thread

Naruto SD 14
First skit was pretty good, Naruto throwing those rasengans and then making those funny experiences in delight was so great, and then even having Shikamaru too. 2nd skit started slow and lacked Naruto...but at least had Genma, Aoba, Kotetsu, and Izumo, our favorite jonin and chuunin for lifers.
Dislike the ED, the other one was more more memorable than just playing clips of the previous episodes to a not so good song.

I did both, loved the anime so much I had to get the manga.
Nichijou and School Rumble are pretty good. Hope you enjoy them.

good taste
Your omissions demonstrate bad taste or ignorance. If the latter, you have some watching to do.
Even more of a good thing.
better 200+ episodes of something worth watching than whatever crap that hack akamatsu shits out
Spread the impact. Put one on your "watch" list and one on your "read" list.

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing!
Anime UY is as much Oshii as Takahashi, so that should be watched. Anime MI is also a great watch. Shigeru Chiba's Yotsuya is classic.

they're on my watch list.
Man I thought the M16 had it bad on Deadliest Warrior, can't even catch a break on Upotte.
We're definitely not from the same plane of reality.

The Tenchi OVAs are definitely not better than Love Hina. As for those others, what little of UY I've seen was good, but it certainly has a different feel (I mean, it's endless, and sort of isn't harem, while Love Hina has a continuing plot, and is harem... though of course it is one of those harem series with a single-girl ending.) Haven't seen Maison Ikkoku.
The Love Hina anime is great.
Meh, I've read the whole manga and watched the animes, and i think the anime has a higher quality level. I do wish that the arc in Suu's home country had been animated, but that, and the lack of the manga's ending (ie its last two chapters), are about the only real losses. The rest of the parts not animated (from the last third-plus of the manga) weren't that good to begin with; the series starts to go downhill past the halfway point... though I do like the ending, at least that was strong. Basically, once Keitaro's sister gets introduced the manga starts going downhill, for several reasons... that one arc I mentioned was pretty good, but otherwise... yeah. I don't miss the majority of those parts very much from the anime, and Love Hina Again wasn't that great either.
Otherwise, the first other major difference would be that the anime of course cuts back significantly on the fanservice. I don't think this hurts it; it's still pretty fanservicey after all. And the anime does have a very good soundtrack, and nice visuals for the time as well. Sure, I'd have liked to see more (good) episodes, but it's a good anime series.
Love Hina definitely has a fantastic OP, and a good soundtrack too. It's great.
Nichijou's great, and Love Hina's pretty good. Haven't watched those others.

School Rumble is top tier.
Well season 1 was.
s2 was still great though.

FLCL did it better.

Without a doubt the best episode yet. Why? Well, simply because for the first time ever not everything went absolutely according to Koko's plans.

The scene in which she met the drug dealers and they tried to pay with cocaine was something else. And the ending... Oh, well. Guess they aren't immortal after all!

No way!
Seems like a good opportunity to use hackamatsu gone by.

Somehow, those reports being a hoax makes this post more in character.
