I can't tell them apart either.
But it's good that the twins are now expanding their world to everyone.

Loved this episode! The twins are awesome! This episode was just sweet and sad as well. I'm glad that I can actually tell the twins apart! :) Cuz I am a twin!
At the beginning I thought they were being a bit harsh with that girl. Karou is my favorite one!
Gotta love twins!

very great episodes!

the twins are really bunch of assholes don't you think?

poor girls being played like that.

if i were in Suou's place i would have slap that shit out of these two.

i'm also curious what the maid was trying to steal? is it just some money or jewelry??

i do wonder if the little girl back then could be Haruhi or some other person that may related to Tamaki or Haruhi :P

so now we know backstory of everyone except for Tamaki himself :)

i hope they reveal his past soon!!

That was a surprisingly touching and deep episode.

Tamaki can be serious sometime and do real speech :P

The twins existance really are an irony...

We could say that all their isolation happened because of what that maid said. It's kinda sad when we think about it.

They really were jerk in the past.

But more importantly, we now know that Tamaki is an illegitimate child! I wonder how it will become relevant in the story...

Tamaki still as funny as ever. XD

Good episode. 4/5

I watch the dubbed and I can tell them apart from their voice actors. Hikaru's voice actor was Ling's voice actor in FMAB, and Kaoru's voice actor was Ganta in Deadman Wonderland. It took awhile for me to figure out though since they talk simultaneously so much.

There are a bunch of voices I recognize here, when they're from serious shows it makes it funnier imo.

Tamaki just cracks me up :P

Man, the twins were quite mean though when they were younger.

I can only tell them apart by their voices... But that's good enough, right?

Right, but what happens when they talk at the same time? That'd throw you off.

I really liked this episode! It delved into some pretty interesting territory. I'm pretty disappointed in that middle school girl, though. When you like someone, you need to stick to it and not just "settle" for another person, especially when that person is their identical twin! Granted, she is only in middle school, so she may not have learned that yet. Hopefully the third time is the charm. (Although the boys were a little excessively mean in response...)

Tamaki, thank you for inviting the twin brothers to your club.

And then the person who could tell them apart appeared and that person was none other than Haruhi. No wonder those twins started to like her.

This is one of my favorite episodes. It's focused on the twins without them doing their dumb act, and it's really touching. Y'know, when I first started watching Ouran, I was going to try disliking the twins the entire time because of their act. It didn't work, I loved them before the end of the show. XD Especially Kaoru. He's the deeper, smarter one to me, I don't personally get why so many people like Hikaru more...

So really, Tamaki may be stupid, but he's not dumb. He actually got through to the twins, even if they would never admit that.

Good episode. Poor twins, it definitely would be hard for them, it's horrible that the girls said that they would settle for either one.

Ok but nobody is mentioning that Tamaki guessed correctly every time! the first time he guesses in the classroom while their classmate is asking them about the class event and he says Hikaru is the one who's doodling in the notebook. Listening to the voice actors, that's correct! The second time is when they're getting in the car to go to school, and he says Kaoru's hair is parted to the right and Hikaru's to the left that day! Once again, listening to the voice actors, that's correct! Finally, they call it off because they realize they're getting attached to Tamaki and don't want to get hurt. Tamaki doesn't give up and finally guesses correctly again, "the one about to tear the letter is Hikaru!" The twins have been so focused on pushing Tamaki away that they don't even bother to keep up their wall and let it slip that he's right, they're so surprised by the fact that he's persistently chasing after them even though they totally insulted him.

I have a new headcanon now that Tamaki never guesses wrong, he just never has a proper reason for knowing which one is which. LOL

Is someone notice, kyoya was reading a book by Osamu Dazai 'No Longer Human'and this anime was created in 2006. But few years later, we get Bungou Stray Dogs with Dazai with the same VA as Tamaki from Ouran. DAMN Its a destiny for me😂

The situation the twins are in is sad, each of them wanting to be recognized while also not wanting to be invaded or separated. I don't think I can feel right calling them mean, because it's not like other people being hurt is the part of their act that entertains them, and it's not even what they want either; that's their reaction to not being recognized as people. :p

Tamaki is such a great guy, I bet he's sure to figure them apart soon. I wonder if his right guess in the flash back would have counted if he said his reasoning was that they already revealed to the girl that Hikaru was the one who was hiding at first, and he just kept track of where Hikaru was.

Such a good episode. The way the twins treat some girls felt a little much but I suppose it's understandable

My respect for Tamaki grew even higher this episode and I really appreciate his efforts to get them to join.

A great episode about the twins but a very sad episode. Yes all they ever wanted was to be recognised by their own peers as people rather than just identical twins themselves. I love how Tamaki despite him being insulted by both Hikaru and Kaoru respectively he was persistent with them in joining the host club. And when you think about it, if Tamaki hadn't broken down their barriers and essentially guessed correct every time the game was being played, they would never have met Haruhi who was in fact the person who can tell them about and they would've stayed miserable as people. So props to Tamaki for keeping at it all this time.
