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.

Character(s) & Their Development
Every character is based with a sterotype near the beginning of the series. The real question though is if the characters actually grow out of their set roles. After watching the whole series that's both a yes and a no. It all comes down to the fact that the manga is still going and the characters are still maturing in that format; thus, they can only grow so far in the anime without making it a new story entirely. Sure, they stay towards their first impressions but, there are a handful of episodes that explain each Host Club member and their reasoning ...

Mixed Feelings
I had liked this anime but I really can not over look how fucking problematic and offensive it really is.
I have seen a couple of people on tiktok talking about this as well.

There are so many "jokes" in this that are really intensive and just wrong. I'm not going to even talk about the "incest trope" with the twins cause that's self explanatory.

1. The transphobia, they literally use the use the T-slur at haruhi's dad (its in the dub not sure about the sub)

2. The blatant lesbophobia and misogyny

3. The literal n3zi "jokes"

Probably one of the worst anime's I watched. Everything about the anime in my opinion is honestly horrible. Have you wanted to find out the real truth about this anime? Then look no further! Just read on!! :D


Story 3/10: The story is honestly the worst plot I have ever heard, a girl goes to a rich school. Of course she has extremely short hair and looks like a man due to some 'gum incident'! Its overly predictable. There is too many of these stupid drama high school animes to begin with, though Ouran High School Host Club is by far the worst.
