When you first see this show, you think it looks like crap. Well, if you’re some macho man or a boyish girl, then yeah, this show is crap. But to the yaoi fans, bishonen lovers, and people who love cute things, this show COULD be your favorite show.
We first meet Haruhi Fujioka. A normal girl who is smart enough to get into the rich academy of Ouran. She, dressed a bit boyish, wanders around the school looking for a place to read. She then stumbles across (-CASCADE OF FLOWERS-) the Ouran High School Host Club, a club where handsome boys entertain the ladies of the school.
Haruhi knocks over an expensive vase after being shocked by the club, and in turn is forced to work for the Host Club. The hosts think she is a boy and they are in for a big surprise. After a makeover and a few mishaps here and there, Tamaki (the Host Club king) soon find out Haruhi is a girl. (Even thought the entire Host Club knew it already)
This show take every cliche it can get.
The handsome men. The snobby king. The vice president who’s behind everything. The sexually-questionable twins. The cute shota. The silent guy. And the boy (who’s really a girl) who finds himself caught up in it all.
Personally, I wanted to cry at the end of the last episode. I have no idea why, for it wasn’t even sad.
Story: C+ (this show is slice-of-life AND it has a plot. The combination -when put with a story about a Host Club- isn’t the best)
Characters: A+ (OHSHC probably has the best cast of characters EVAH! No two are the same.)
Animation: B- (too many sparkles)
Music: A+++ (i’m a moderate fan of classical music, so this show is the BEST! every semi-sensitive scene has beautiful soundtrack)
Overall: A-
