This is a masterpiece of an anime, and I'm very picky about the anime I watch so for those words to come out of my mouth is saying something. It's 26 episodes of pure genius. Okay, 25 episodes with one w.t.f. ending, but I'll rant on that later. This is a character driven show more than anything because plot wise its stupid as hell, but the brilliant characters save this show ten times over. It's about seven friends that are members of a high school host club in a prestigious, filthy rich school. This host club entertains women; however, one of the host is a women.She's the main character and the other characters antics are mostly seen from her eyes. Haruhi is a poor student on an academic scholarship. She's intelligent, assertive, nice, practical, calm, and the real cincher not a scantily clad b*tch or a vomit inducing marysue.When you have 99% of anime's featuring females being damsels in distresses to the point that you want to puke, and then when a rare anime comes along with the main female character being as far from a mary-sue that you can get, you get a bit giddy. Anyway, she looks like a boy because of an incident involving her hair and gum, and she joins the host club at first out of being forced. She broke an expensive vase and to pay of her debt she joins as a male. Of course the others find out which is humorous in itself. However, her being forced to put up with these rich fools, and their insane antics changes and everyone becomes more than best friends. They become a family. This anime is very humorous, very witty, but knows when to get serious when it calls for it. The main characters are each different and bring their own personality and back-stories to the table. The music is catchy and the animation is nice to look at. The show makes fun of every Japanese cliché in the book even within the main characters and amusedly so. However, the downside of this anime is the ending. You don't make a brilliant character driven show like this and end it like that. If a show ever needed a season two this is one of those shows. Trust me. There is a manga, but once you've seen these wonderful characters voiced and animated and all their adorable, sad, and romantic antics come to life a manga cannot fill that void. Believe me once you finish being peeved off like I was at the unfulfilling ending, and then it slowly sinks in that there is not going to be another season to resolve it, the withdrawal symptoms hurt and they hurt bad lol. In all seriousness though this anime is d*mn near perfect, and even though the ending left me wanting I don't regret watching this show and its extremely endearing characters one bit.

Ouran High School Host Club was one my first romance animes and it was a amazing watch. Great characters, a cute story, hilarious comedy and lovable characters. However it is not the perfect anime, a shojo classic but no 10/10. The shortage of episodes is really an issue with this anime. After the last episode I began reading the manga. This anime should of got an extension, if it did definitely would get a point up to a 9. Why not 10 you probably ask? Well here's why... Like it or not the title should really be: Haruhi's harem. Even if you like harems it does get annoying the fact that everyone adores the main character. Listen, is a great character her cheekiness is awesome but why can't at least someone not like her? Not in a second (at least what can recall) does any of the host club members hate Haruhi. They ADORE her, personally I wouldn't. She has a great personality and all but she has flaws that get in the way of liking her, I mean, come on. Why does everyone love her at first glance? You may not agree with his review which is perfectly fine. Ouran High School Host Club is great and one of my favorites. A great shojo, a awesome English cast, good animation, and a catchy theme song.

Truth be told, when I first looked it up, I figured it would be another sad teen series. Boy was I wrong. This series was a true comedy of errors, every joke was spot on, every character was well played, every episode a feast for story lovers and comedy lovers everywhere. Haruhi, in my opinion, has to be my favorite character of them all. She's smart, interesting, and a perfectly thought out character when it comes to the situation she's in. I also love seeing her interactions with the 'rich bastards' that are always looking out for her in this strange, yet oh so fun, high school. If you have the chance (even if you're a guy) watch this. It's a great experience that won't fail to satisfy... now if they could only make more episodes, THEN I would be truly happy.

This show follows the life of 7 young teenagers attending a private school for wealthy and elite children. The heroine and main character of the show, Fujioka Haruhi, is a lower middle class girl attending the school on a scholarship. She is forced into joining the Host Club to pay off a debt after breaking an expensive vase. The characters become closer as they share memorable experiences and discover hidden feelings. The show presents beautiful scenes of animation and hilarious plots and story lines. You will easily fall in love with the characters and become addicted to this series. The whole thing is a visual masterpiece and the music and voice actors are awesome. It is definitely worth the time and money.

This is the silly story of a smart but poor girl by the name of Haruhi that is accepted into a prestigious high-class high school due to her grades. One day she happens to walk into the room where the Host Club takes place (Host Club is a group of good looking men that spend their time pleasing women and making them happy). Haruhi accidentally then breaks a vase and it is decided that she will have to work at the host club to repay her debt (since she can't afford to pay for it). The thing is the men in the host club don't realize that Haruhi is a girl at first due to her attire and short hair. So basically the story revolves around her working at the host club as a guy trying to repay her debt. To me, the story seemed somewhat kind of lame but it is the sub-story in each episode that is so interesting and fun to watch. Slowly as the episodes go by, you learn about every character and each one is different with their own special story and personality. At times I'd have to say it's a bit over the top ridiculous but it is a light anime that will get you in a good mood. One thing I was happy about was the ending! To me this is an anime you watch when you want to be cheered up. It's not something that will get you hooked but you'll find yourself coming back to it every so often for the laughs. Worth watching!

Ouran High School Host Club is a funny series that shows different emotions that can happen or really shows love for each other. To me... I liked this series I more of recommend the TV series rather than the books, but then the books sometimes are better with details and since they are the first things created I would use both! IF you don't want to buy the series just go to YouTube.com and watch them there even though they are in Japanese they have subtitles and i think(to me) the voices in Japanese are what really fit them! I really recommend this series to people who like comedy or stuff related to that i guess. I hope this helps you know that this TV series is really kool!

I have waited a very long time for a show like this to come around. One that took just about every cliché from just about ever poncy, prancy, self-important high school drama ever made, and then urinated all over them for all the world to see. For starters it is set in an unimaginably rich and exclusive school, where as it states that entrance is based on:- 1) Great wealth 2) Great families. That somehow a poor student from a humble background is, well, only to be expected then. So far, so normal. But everything, especially, the animation shows you that something is amiss here. What we in fact have is a kind of dig at the upper classes and their infactuation with the lower classes that Oscar Wilde or P.G. Woodhouse would have understood. Tamaki (the most predominant of the rich students) could almost be described as coming from a very English line of clueless, yet lovable young aristocrats. The sort whose great monies have usually hid his many clear failings, yet is really what you would have once described as 'a decent sort'. I.e. he means well, and ultimately that enough sees him through whatever difficulty he may have got himself into this time. Not for a second does this show truly take itself seriously, yet, through that do you really get to understand and get to love all the characters on show. I could go on for hours about each of them and what makes them so good, but my advice is watch it for yourself and enjoy what you've been missing.

When I saw this series was available to watch legally on line on Funimation's YouTube channel I recalled that a friend had mentioned enjoying it so I decided to give it a go. As soon as the opening credits started I thought I might have made a mistake it was all pink and flowery and clearly not made for men, I decide to watch the first episode anyway to see what it was like. I'm glad I did as I found myself really enjoying it and over the next few days watched the remaining twenty five episodes. The series opens with Haruhi, a new scholarship girl at the prestigious Ouran Academy looking for a quiet room to study in. She looks into Music Room #3 where she is surprised to find a group of boys, the eponymous Host Club. One thing leads to another and Haruhi accidentally breaks an antique vase, as she doesn't have the eight million yen required to pay for it she is told she must join the Host Club... to do this she must pass herself off as a boy as the club's purpose it to provide male company to the girls of the academy. With her short hair and small chest she manages to pass for a boy although her femininity isn't lost on the boys. At first the boys of the club seen frivolous, being fascinated by Haruhi's commoner lifestyle the take to drinking her exotic instant coffee and do things as daring as going to the supermarket. In return they think nothing of taking Haruhi with them when they go off to a private resort during the summer holidays. As the episodes progress the boys seem less selfish as we learn why they are the way they are, by the end when things appear to be going badly for them it is genuinely sad. While there is nothing really offensive in the series some people might be disturbed by two of the boys who act like a couple... the potential problem is that they are identical twins. Personally I thought it was funny, after all it is just an act for the girl's amusement. Even though this series is clearly aimed at girls I'd recommend it to anybody wanting a funny character driven series. These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Well, I have to say, this anime was very good. Funny, and slightly disturbing, to tell you the truth. A couple of the characters are slightly perverted. (Slight spoilers here) Haruhi is a girl (actually mistaken for a guy as far as I've watched) that goes to Ouran High School, a place full of rich kids. She got in through a special scholarship, making her unusual in the school. While looking for a place to study, she goes into an empty music room. In this room, she found her school's host club, a group of handsome guys wanting to "bring fortune to the ladies"... They have a guy for each type. There's the "king," Tamaki, the "cool-type," Kyouya, the "little devils," Hikaru and Kaoru (twins), the "loli-shota," Mitsukuni (aka Mitsukuni), and the "cool-type," Takashi (aka Mori). Haruhi trips, after meeting these men, and knocks over a vase, which promptly breaks, causing her to become the slave of these men. However, she becomes more popular with the men, and they decide (after a slight makeover... *cough*) that she should become a host like them. So she soon gets customers (ladies, thinking she is male) and in this way, she pays back the money she owes for breaking the vase. *end spoilers* I liked this show a lot. The guys not only show acceptance to the weird kid, (funny, seeing as most shows show that the weird kids are picked on the most by the popular rich kids) but they also enjoy her company, respect her in every since of the word, and are loyal and protective (which could be a bad thing in Tamaki's way). The characters are all different, and yet the same. The story, although the theme is "Haruhi must act as a guy to repay a debt," they show that after a while, the guys of the Host Club (with the exception of Kyouya) don't really care for the debt, and like hanging out with Haruhi better.
