Ouran High school host club- ET's anime review

Ouran high school host club

Synopsis- A girl goes to a prestigious school and dresses like a boy (not on purpose). She wanders into the host room looking to study. She then knocks over a expensive vase when talking to the hosts. She then has to work for them  to work of the debt through out the series there are many strange occurrences and eventually she learns something about each of the host and they in turn fall for her. Most of the series is a competition to get close to her.


If I saw a picture of this anime, I wouldn't watch it. This would be a serious mistake this anime is awesome. Its hilarious and light-hearted with serious aspects.

There are not many characters in this anime so I am going to do the main ones.

firstly- Haruhi Fujioka, this is the girl who dresses as a boy. By this you would assume their would be almost yuri scenes of her seducing people, this does not occur. Her character is honest and hard working. Its easily relatable, and its funny how shes often referred to as 'commoner' and to see her face which follows. Her design is simple so you can both see the girl and boy in her. Its amazing voice acting in the dubbing for her and she still remains one of my favorite characters.



next is Suo Tomaki, he is the boss of the host club and supposedly the best host. He set up the club with another host. He is a slightly annoying character but it suits what they are trying to portray of the upper classes. he is arrogant and egotistical to the point in which he doesn't know when he is being 'dissed'. He, you can argue, has the strongest feeling for Haruhi. I like his character and is redeemed later on in the series. This anime seems light but has a habbit of suddenly getting deep. This is what this character does. He is kind and does care.

The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachin, these are host who have the whole incest girl craze twin brother gay scene going on. I love this characters as they are very isolated at the beginning playing tricks with each other thats it. But the Haruhi understand them, knows their separate and they grow as characters. Hikaru has stronger feelings for haruhi then Kaoru, you can see this later on in the anime. They are in Haruhi class and use this against Tomaki, this adds to the comedy.


Haninozuka Mitsukuni and Morinozuka Takashi, also called Honey and Mori. They are also a pair. They are a combat pair, both experts at martial arts which this anime shows off but also funny. Mori protects Honey even though he doesn't need it. Honey is the cute little boy character, Mori the tall quiet type. This characters don't get much attention, but their back story and development still has the same impact of the other characters. Neither of these characters have romantic feelings for Haruhi, they are more their for here in a protective platonic way.

last but not least we have Kyoya Ootori, he is the brains behind the club. He controls the money and most events. Referred to as the mommy by tomaki (daddy), he can come across as the colder of the characters and the most harsh but he has the one of the hardest stories behind him. at first not liking this character it creates sympathy liking the character. Not much to say on him he is sort of plain.



characters done :). I love the art of this anime, I think its very clean and sharp and unlike a couple animes Ive seen does not seem to fail in certain scenes. I think this art works excellently with the overall atmosphere of this anime. I cant remember the music as this review is done directly from memory as Ive seen this anime about four times. I recommend this anime totally, some don't class this as funny it all depends on your type of humour



another piece of artwork for you, this is by victoria francis.
