Synopsis

Ouran High is a school for the extremely wealthy or, in Haruhi's case, the extremely talented. But no amount of talent will help when Haruhi accidentally drops an eight million yen vase in a music room. The vase was the property of Ouran High School Host Club, a group of attractive young men who, for a fee, provide their time and affections for their lovesick clientele: the female students.

Reviews

karokfish I turned to this show after watching Black Butler. In Black Butler trivia, someone mentioned that the English voice actor who portrays Sebastian is the voice of a character in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed the English version (no issue with accents whatsoever!) and have also re-watched about half the episodes in Japanese with English subtitles.Completely different aura! A welcome change - no demons or supernatural beings, just a light-hearted, cute, frivolous, alas short, series about a bunch of rich boys who "host" the equally rich girls in their school for rich kids. A smart girl enters their school on an honour student award and gets mixed up in their club. And the rich boys dip their toes in the life of the "common people".Of course, there are some story lines that push the sensibilities (like a whole police force gets beaten up by a couple of high schoolers?) but that's anime for you.Love the series. Will re-watch episodes when I need a break from anything sad or demented.
Screen Squinty This is an enjoyable show for the family.From the technical end of things, the character style ( done by Kumiko Takahashi) is not completely faithful to the manga like other animes such as Inuyasha and Naruto for example, but it doesn't veer off to much style wise from their manga counterparts in character design, leaving them still relatively recognizable. The character style works with the bright upbeat tone of the show, even with the few moments of seriousness that pop up. The school itself as the pinkish opulent stage that much of the plot is set in is perfect for the exaggerated qualities of the rich lifestyles it is portraying.The main character, particularly the main focus of the show Haruhi, is the shining light of this show. She breaks the usual mold of female characters in high school based anime, or even other teenage girls in television from the Western end is a delightful mix of straight-man, brutal honesty, caring, and Charlie Brown; a real step forward for female characterization.The rest of the Host club characters themselves makes its business in the narrative on playing up qualities of tropes of the different types of teenage boy found primarily in shojo (manga typified in style and story content as geared towards female audiences) such as the Princely, Cool type, Mischievous/Forbidden love, Lolita, Quiet Type. You certainly get an introduction into what classifies these tropes are, even Haruhi is one of these male tropes as "the natural." Normally, highly trope based characters, especially main characters as the host club, run the risk of quickly becoming uninteresting if not handled right, but in this case, these characters are almost a parody of these tropes, with just enough personalities themselves that exist outside of those tropes to let you know that the characters are not solely defined by their type.The character dynamics themselves work well, particularly between Haruhi and Tamaki, as Tamaki brings her out of her shell a bit more by livening things up and Haruhi, corralling Tamaki with her on the nose remarks. The dynamic between her and the rest of the host club is also good, though isn't quite as fun as her and Tamaki.The voice acting for both the original Japanese release and the English dub (done through FUNimation), were great talents that conveyed each character exactly, particularly Haruhi (Caitlin Glass), with her believably closer to gender neutral voice. Tamaki in particular was a joy to hear, capturing his flamboyantly narcissistic gung-ho qualities well.The story itself is great, each episode consisting of a great deal of hijinks, which are a good collection of zaniness using both expected and not so expected elements, with little quiet moments to appreciate the moral (for episodes with morals) they were trying to get across.Overall this show presented the style, tone, characters and narrative premise beautifully, upping the natural ham that made it so enjoyable from the source material, even filling in and improving on some things from the first manga volume without it veering to far from its source material until somewhere in season 2 then it veers away drastically. While it could have done to run a bit longer, perhaps taken a break to correlate with the manga a bit, and the ending of the series felt a bit rushed, it is still an enjoyable watch for everyone.
RecapAnime The "Ouran High School Host Club", is an anime that I never thought I would watch all the way through. But after giving it a chance and watching a few episodes I found myself laughing a lot as if I was part of the shenanigans that the characters get into. What I thought was a nice touch to the show was that at certain points a subtitle will pop up showing how the character actually feels which would be in funny situations but the other characters would be oblivious to how they really feel. I also like that every character in the host club gets an episode for themselves and an episode where the viewer learns their background and why they are there.What made this show great was the excellent cast for the English version. From having "Vic Mignogna", who played Edward in Full Metal Alchemist to "Caitlin Glass", who played Nefertari Vivi in One Piece. There where also a lot of others to but what I'm getting at is that the voices for this anime are perfect.The only things that I didn't care for was the romance part of the show. It just felt that it didn't really need to be there in almost every episode, I would say a few episodes had it down right. The other thing I didn't like was it was feeling a bit repetitive.To finish this review I would recommend this anime for the laughs and not really for the romance part of the anime...7/10
firevinny96 Only 26 Episodes?!!!??The short run this series has is quite aggravating because within the first 10min you are immediately hooked in and before you know it, its gone forever.The way the different characters' story lines and backgrounds slowly emerge themselves isn't too quick or too slow so it plays out in a perfect manner. The characters are all so unique and lovable that you begin to get connected with them and feel with them when something either heart-warming or heart-breaking happens.All in all this is the best Comedy-Romance show i've ever watched and i reaaaalllllyy hope that at some point they continue it.
