Synopsis

Haruhi Fujioka is a studious girl who has recently enrolled at the prestigious Ouran Academy. One day, while looking for a quiet and peaceful place to study, she stumbles across a seemingly unused music room. Upon entering, Haruhi is welcomed by the members of the well-known Host Club: a club in which attractive boys amuse girls from across the entire school. However, when Tamaki Suou—the founder and president of the club—startles the bright scholarship student, she accidentally breaks an expensive vase.

With repayment looking difficult for Haruhi, the Host Club members come up with the perfect solution to the girl's problem: work for the club and ultimately become a Host herself! Mistaken for a boy by her peers, Haruhi has to entertain various female students while coping with her fellow Hosts' extravagant personalities.

This show infuriates me and gets under my skin in such a unique way, yet I still very much enjoyed it. It’s so annoying to watch Haruhi’s very obvious nonbinary identity get disrespected and ignored (I swear Ranka gets more respect). YES I know it’s 2006 YES I know this. Anyway. The show finally started to get good for me in like the FINAL THIRD. And then apparently the last two episodes aren’t canon, but in the manga the character development continues on. I have a love hate relationship with this show, but it was still enjoyable (except a few episodes that made me cringe). ...

The demographic for this is so oddly specific. You either love it because you watched it during your weeb awakening in middle school , OR you ARE a middle schooler who is in their weeb awakening. The CHOKEHOLD this anime has had on the shoujo loving community for years now, is absolutely wild.

I remember watching this on repeat for three years of my life (12-15 y/o), but stashed it away so I could enjoy other new series. Now, watching it as an adult... girl.. it HURTS sometimes. It really does. The specific era this came out of; that mid-2000's internet where you watched the ...

Ouran Highschool Host Club is one of the most terrible anime I have ever seen. First off, the soundtrack is downright awful. We have upbeat, bland music playing at the most unfitting times. And also, this anime is just trying to shove the "emotions" down your throat. It's like the violin is trying to hunt you down and kill you. Every second of this anime is absolutely cringe-worthy. We have stereotypical characters there for the "love drop." We have the bland, composed guy, the money bags, twins with the characteristics of sandpaper, and some other useless side characters. Did I mention the one that's there ...
