Then I did not know that Japan manages to make amazing plots that sound familiar and predictable and turn them into something unique and marvelous. Again: kudos to these people and their amazing talent!
STORY:(8) seriously, it sounds ridiculous and like something that you'll probably know what will happen next.The truth is it surprised me 'cause this baby is full of surprises, good surprises, the story takes many turns to things you wouldn't have imagined. But the real enjoyment is in the the comedy, the comedy in this show is what really makes it so good. I mean, the times I laughed my ass off while watching this, literally falling off my chair and screw the language barrier, this show is funny as hell! The situations these people get into and the way they handle it is just hilarious. If you don't get a great laugh out of this, man you must be one messed up person.There isn't much romance going on, maybe in the manga it does but the series has very little to none at all so if you're hesitating than please, do not, this is not your typical shoujo.
ART:(9)
the art? beautiful .Crisp and clean and I really like the character drawings even though you got your typical cute guys running all around, yet they all have their own unique style that makes them stand out from the rest and each other. You don't have a bunch of all look the same dudes here, much like their characters the art is very unique and quite pretty to look at. The school is beautiful drawn as in most of the background and the clothes also are fun to watch since they got this like different occasion dress style going.
SOUND:(7) now I'm gonna be frank with you,I haven't seen this in awhile but since I don't remember the ost much it probably don't have much to say. The OP is fun, your typical stupid pop song that get's stuck in your had everytime you hear and the ED is nice too...nothing to spectacular though.
CHARACTER:(9)
Now the characters are really something. Tamaki especially, you just can't not love this dork, he is by far one of the most funniest characters I've come across. He has all the downsides of a human being(selfish, spoiled, arrogant, terribly narcissistic)and yet you still love him 'cause in the end he's just human and he's a ditzy but that's part of his charm. But still he is a quite enjoyable one to watch and his "depression" mode is of the most funny parts in the show. Then the other guys are equally as enjoyable, the twins are just amazing, Honey is the cutest and most fierce little creature out there, Takashi is the only sane person in the bunch aside from Haruhi and Kyouya...well, I didn't like him that much, but even so he's still unique. The cute thing and the most enjoyably is that this group is one with friends who all are completely different from one another.It's like they complete in one another what one lacks and in the end that's what relationships are all about anyway. Then we come to Haruhi, Haruhi is amazing, she is really one to enjoy, her wit is beyond me and it's a nice breeze to see an intelligent woman(even though she pretends to be a man) in the anime industry other than the ditzy,high pitch voiced ones who only care about guys. She is a bit ditzy actually but her ditziness is likable and (dare I say) witty.
ENJOYMENT/OVERALL:(9)/(8)
I was aiming for a 9 but the ending sucks so I dropped to 8. Of course the usual endings that animes that finish before the manga find of this genre met this series and decided to stay. The end could have been better done, it really ruins the whole series.
Other than that, this show is very enjoyable and one of my favs. There's no way you won't love the characters and laugh with their amazing pranks. The story is well executed and beautifully written,happy surprises arise here and there. I general I enjoyed this show completely, it's pleasant to watch and smart enough to make you pay your respects to it's awesomeness.Tons of laughs, maybe a few tears if you're the sappy type( I'm not, can't ever cry over these things) and endearing and approachable characters. This series is a definitely must for those in for a good time.
