The Ouran High School is a prestigious school exclusively for the rich and wealthy. Fujioka Haruhi, although from a poor background, finds herself in the school thanks to pure talent. Whilst looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Host Club – a club consisting of handsome guys whose job is to entertain beautiful lady customers. On her way out of this absurd club, Haruhi trips and breaks an insanely expensive vase. Since that fateful day, Haruhi is forced to join the host club to pay off the debt she owes them.
Ouran High School Host Club is a refreshingly original anime filled with comedy and drama. Steering clear of typical high school romances or supernatural oddities, this anime is literally all about Haruhi’s experience in the Host Club. The animation is bright and colourful with huge exaggerations to expressions as well as the characters’ personalities. For all the girls out there, its a real treat to watch all these pretty men flaunt their beauty and not have them tangled up in relationships all the time. Many of the episodes seem filler-like and it can, at some point, get repetitive if you’re looking for a substantive storyline. But thats not what Ouran is about. Thanks to its refreshing style and immense humour, Ouran is a great watch for both newbie anime-watchers and veterans alike!
In the quest for more hilarious anime like this, try out:
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge: Four incredibly attractive boys are given the near-impossible task of transforming Sunako into a real ‘lady’. Both Yamanade and Ouran are about girls who are stuck in situations which involve handsome men, despite the fact that they dont want to be in those situations! Both these animes are big on the humour with small hints of romance.
Lovely Complex: An incredibly funny anime about the complicated love of Risa and Otani – the class comedy duo – All Hanshin Kyojin. Both LoveCom and Ouran are about how life doesn’t always turn out how you expect it and some accidents happen for the better! While LoveCom deals more with romance than Ouran does, they are both hilarious animes!
Hana Yori Dango: Similar to Haruhi’s circumstances, Tsukushi is also a poor girl who attends an elite school for the wealthy. However, Hana Yori Dango deals more with Tsukushi’s troubles in high school and the ups and downs of high school romance and drama.
