THIS IS CRAP!

Yes, uhuh, you read it right. And I hope I did too. I read somewhere that GMA-7 (that’s Channel 7, folks) would air the anime BLEACH this October.

Goddamn, that would be great.

Ouran High School Host Club Review

Only few words can describe this series: excruciatingly insanely funny. I am a sucker for comedies and award-winning stuffs, and this anime series particularly exceeds my usual standards. Yeah, it’s really that good.

I first came across Ouran Host Club just recently, when I was browsing a DevianArt account. In that account, I saw a fanart featuring the main characters of the said series. I dismissed the fanart, mostly because I can’t appreciate the drawing that much because it’s chibi. Fortunately, I managed to read the series which the fanart came from before I hit the X button.

And then, with luck, I was able to purchased a copy of Ouran Host Club just last week, when I went crazy shopping over some DVDs. I only managed to watch it just this Tuesday, and that’s when I finished the first 18 episodes in one sitting. I just kept watching one episode after another, and I was so glued to the screen it strained my eyes. But hell, it was so damn funny, I was laughing so hard that my tummy hurt.

Ouran High School Host Club has 26 episodes, each runs for about half hour or less. I only managed to purchase 20 episodes, though it’s enough to say that this series is excellent.

However I don’t recommend it to people who are just starting to watch animes and stuff, because you can get a huge culture shock from watching this. This series is filled with stuffs like yuri and yaoi hints, shotacons, moe, cross-dressing and some weird things that are unexplainable. But for otakus and die-hard anime lovers, I recommend this highly. Definitely a must-see.

PLOT (from animenewsnetwork.com):

Haruhi is a poor tomboyish student at a school for the wealthy, which she was only able to attend because of a scholarship. Looking for a place to study, she enters a music room, only to find that it’s being used by the Ouran Host Club. The guys of the host club intentionally play up their attributes to please the customers, which even they realize is silly, but it does work like a charm. Haruhi thinks it’s all ridiculous, but before she can leave, she accidentally breaks a vase. She can’t pay for it, so she’s told that she’ll have to stay and do odd jobs. She does this until they realize that she would be more valuable as a real member of the club. Not realizing she’s female due to her appearance, they fix her up and give her a male uniform. She makes such a handsome boy, they decide to have her keep up the charade even after they find out she’s a girl. Although she thinks the guys are crazy, they seem to be good people, and not having much choice, she plays along.

P.S. There is more than peaches and cream on this series, that I can assure you. ^__^
