Synopsis: Fujioka Haruhi is an honor student that was admitted in a prestigious school Ouran where rich students are studying. While she is looking for a place to study, she found a music room. She never thought that she will meet the group of handsome boys who are the members of the school's host club. Accidentally, she broke a vase that is worth 8 Million Yen. Since she is not rich (in the series she was called as "commoner") she was forced to work in the host club as it's dog.The members of the club have no idea that, that guy is a woman.

 Thoughts: This anime was introduced to me when I was in second year high school (I think) by a local anime magazine "Otakuzine" and it was around 2009. Ever since, this anime is one of my favorites. To be honest, I just watched it again yesterday, and it was one fell swoop. I think the thing that makes this anime so popular is Haruhi can express herself towards rich people in which most of us cannot do and I think that is also a charming point to the character. Plus it added the comedy part whenever she dis her rich friends.

The good thing about this anime is where homos, gays or bisexuals were not discriminated. When I watched this anime, topics about people being bisexual are sensitive. I appreciate this anime that they don't criticize sexuality of a person. Plus, this anime knows how to protect girls. Yes, we can see some anime guys protecting woman in an enemy etc. but with this anime, just a simple hug or touch you will feel secured and I think that's cute.

 Animation: 10/10
As I mentioned, I've been an anime fan for a decade and this is the most unique animation I ever watched (up until now I believe this is the most unique!). This anime is old but look how impressive the animation is, it looks like it's a new anime that was just released last week. Every character's move was detailed that you can explain the personality of each character and that makes me want to watch all over again.

Soundtrack: 10/10
The OST of the anime is so good that it lightens the mood and you will really feel that you are part of these rich people. This anime's soundtrack is full of orchestra music which is my personal favorite. Plus! Sakura Kiss in piano version is also here!


(The Host Club members assumed that Haruhi is gat and went there to have some "service")


Overall: 10/10
If you are into cute romance comedy anime series, this is definitely recommended for you. It will fit your needs. Also if you are fujoshi (fan of yaoi or bromance), hell this anime is really for you.So grab your popcorn and wave your uchiwa of your favorite character. Anyway, this anime doesn't have season 2 but if you need to know the REAL ending of this series, try reading the manga, the ending won't disappoint you.
