I'd forgotten about this series after seeing the first episode. I'm glad I got reminded about it. I'll have to check out school rumble at some point.

Some of us don't have perfect memory. Could you elaborate on what you mean?


Well when I get around to it I'll quote what they said it's just that it's inappropriate to say it guess..

Nope, there isn't anything disturbing she says per se - if you follow closely their "retelling" sequence, Yayoi (the girl who reads the stories and shares them with the encouraging Kanako), is always interrupted at the end. Usually, the interruption hints a catchphrase connected to other anime. In episode 5, the story premise is the same spoiler[(note, all the three times), but the introductions of the catchphrases make references to three different anime (shounen) series - Captain Tsubasa, Rurouni Kenshin, and (in the end) Saint Seiya. In that last reference, Yayoi tells about a "seemingly defenseless boy*", connoting "uke"], which is a stereotype of the passive, usually more feminine, partner in a male homosexual relation, popular in yaoi franchise.

* ... spoiler[The seemingly defenseless boy had something that he would always say: "Pegasus Me..." ("Pegasus Meteor Fist!")]
