Ouran High School Host Club


First off I would like to say that this is my favorite current anime (Would be Naruto but I hate fillersT.T *kicks fillers)

Ouran High School host club in one sentence is.... Fruits basket on a sugar rush>.< (without the whole zodiac thing and give Touru a brain...)

Genres:Comedy,romance,shoujo,School  

                                                                                                                    

My Scores:

Story:9/10

Animation: 9/10

Characters: 11/10

Quick Summary: Starts off With Haruhi, the main character, at her first day of school. She accidently stumbles upon a club called the Host club (basically a club full of "interesting" guys who's job is to make girls happy). When she enters they all think she's gay becuase they all think she's a he (understandable, she looks like at Guy.---

She tries to leave becuase she's creeped out and accidently knocks a ¥8,000,000 ($80,000) antique vase. They say she needs to pay them back, but she's poor and the only reason she in this EXTREMELY expensive school is becuase she won a scholorship, so they decided to make her (who they still think is a him) their dog for the rest of her life.

Eventually they find out that "he" is very attractive withough glasse, so they give "him" a makeover and want to make "him" a host. Eventually everyone begins to suspect that she's a girl except Tamaki (who's is the idiotic "King" of the club), untill he walks in on her changing). They decide to let her stay a host becuase no one in the entire school except them realized He's a she, and she still needs to pay off her debt.

THe jist of this show is basically dealing with the club "activities," wich are Cos-play, flirting with girls, helping girls in need,  and random trips. Eventually it moves on to Tamaki falling in love with Haruhi (so cute), and all the members dealing with numerous issues.

Characters:

Haruhi: Isn't your steriotypical "girly" main girl character. She doesn't get really emotionaly about anything. Her mother died when she was young, and her father, an Okama (cross dresser who works at a gay bar haha.) raised her. The father also happens to act just like Tamaki, which explains why she's so patient with his "weirdness." She gets a schoolarship to ouran. In the club she's called the "Natural Rookie" becuase she's so good with speaking to girls. 

Tamaki: The "king" of the club. The most popular host in the club, all girls melt in his presence (exept Haruhi). He's half Japanese half French. Although he acts like a complete idiot he's one of the smartest in his class. (2nd year). He has a terrible crush on haruhi, and goes around calling her his daughter (he calls Kyouya "mother...") (for those of you who've seen Fruits basket he act like a slightly not as crazy Ayame Souma) (and if I still have the same avatar of the blond haired guy acting like a puppy, that's Tamaki>.< my favorite)

Kyouya: He's the "cool Type" he's very calmed natured. Haruhi calls him the "shadow king" Becuase even though Tamaki's the king he's pretty much running the host club. Although he acts cold he's glad to have tamaki as a friend.


Hikaru and Kaoru: These are identical twins, who in the club they try to impress the guests with their "brotherly Love..." The only way to tell them apart is by the way they part their hair, one to the left one to the right, and their voices (but they usualy speak in unison). They are constantly teasing Tamaki, especially since they're in the same class as Haruhi. They have a hard time socializing with any one but themselves, but they've began to let Haruhi into their inner circle.

"Hani" (Honny): Looks and acts just like Momiji from fruits basket (seriously, I'm surprised there's not a plagerizing case out there). He looks very young for his age, and acts like a little boy (eating cake contantly, and carrying around his stuffed bunny). He's actually one of the strongest martial artists in the country of Japan.


"Mori": He seems to get the least spotlight, but he's labeled the "wild type." but he's actually the most quite, very introverted. He's Hani's cousin (they're in the same class), and in the past Mori's family had been servants of Hani's. Mori kinda acts like Hani's servant and is always listening to him, they're funny to see together becuase Mori is the tallest person in the anime and Hani is the shortest.


Renge: Not exactly a main characterXD, but she's a major Otaku. She loves anime, manga, and video games (especially dating simulations). She comes from france, and when her dad comes back from a business trip she see's a picture of her dad's business partner's son (Kyouya), who happens to look like her favorite "glasses" character of her dating simulation game, and she jumps a flight on a plane straight to Japan saying she must marry him.

More random stuff:

If any one Like the manga of this, you'll be shocked to know they are doing a major 360 on the story line in the final 2 episodes (with the last episode airing next week). Of course thats to be expected with trying to shove such a great manga thats ongoing into one season. (*cries at all the anime ruined ruined in this wayT.T)

Edit---> This anime has officially ended, a second season is not expected. Although the ending is very well made (for crushing it in 2 episodes), it is about 80% different than the events in the manga.

After watching this whole series, I can say I loved it. ^_^

Animation: 10/10
Characters: 10000000000/10
Story: 10/10

I really wish they would change their minds and make another season (or more!)  So far the anime has not been liscenced, only the manga, which is a lil strange, but I'm still hoping!!

Its in the process of being liscenced I think~

Bandai had tried to claim it at one point but they claimed it was already acquired by another company (at least this is what I understand from the couple of sites I go toXD)

ahhh, this is what I read^.^
During the Bandai panel at NYCC it was mentioned that Bandai had tried to aquire Ouran High School Host Club. However, it appears that the series has already been picked up by a company.
I've read in several places Viz had the same thing happen as well...
Rumours say Funimation got it~ though there isn't anything official yetXD

I'm just interested in what voice actors they chooseXD

If you're looking for a dubXD You can always ammuse yourself with this fandub while you're waitingXD

Nah, I'm not a huge dub fan myself...I just wanna have an excuse to buy DVDs!!  Also, I've been looking at the lineup of anime due to come out in the US soon...as in the next 3 months...and I'm not impressed.  In fact, I'm pretty disappointed that so many crap anime were on the list and so many good ones aren't even mentioned for release this year. :(

Meh...it was okay. biggrin  I really had this anime picked wrong, i assumed that all the members of the host club would have changed and move on, Although some  kinda did it was odd it seemed they were still doing background up til 24 and then through the last two as a sort of ending.   It was still fun to watch, there i said it.

Thats why I wish there was a second seasonT.T

In the manga they are changing a bit (especially the twins)~
And a lot of stuff with Kyouya and Haruhi too (and Tamaki I guese too, but he's too idiotic to changeXD).
