Ouran High School is a school for the filthy rich and the students from the wealthest families - the creme da la creme of life. However, this life isn’t associated with Haruhi Fujioka who wins an attendance in Ouran High School through academical merit.

While hunting for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles across the Ouran High School Host Club, an elite group of six rich and attractive boys who spend their time charming and entertaining the school’s girls for profit. However, in an accident resulting in breaking a highly prized (and expensive) vase, Haruhi is forced to work off it’s lose by working as seventh Host in the club. However, the group quickly discovers that Haruhi is actually female though decides to carry on the charade. The anime follows Haruhi’s adventures in the club as she builds a relationship with the group and works towards clearing her debt.

A comedy series which will leave you in stiches, there are plently of surreal moments which just leaves you laughing in its wake.

The anime starts life as a new student called Suzumiya Haruhi enrolls into a new high school. However her blunt introduction speech to the class, indicates she has no interest in ordinary humans and would much rather that talk to aliens, time travellers, sliders and espers. After alienating everyone in the class with this, she becomes a loner who would much rather spend time by herself than with others. This doesn’t stop her from joining school-clubs, though after 1 day in most cases, she will quit the club and join another at the behest of others. Haruhi’s unusually behaviour doesn’t go unnoticed however and is narrated by the show’s protagonist Kyon, who by fate, is Haruhi’s table-neighbour in the class.

Kyron confronts Haruhi about her club expliots and soon sets in motion the creation of the SOS Brigade, Haruhi’s own personal club. The anime follows the life of this club and the events they take part in.

What really pulled me into this anime was the first episode. Understand that all the infomation you have read above, was shown on the second episode - not the first. The first episode was actually a badly acted, badly written and badly filmed B movie starring the cast of the anime - obviously an episode chronological further than the second, a film production from one of the club’s future activities. This show is very funny and the comedy is just perfect, while still has an underlining serious undertone which has yet to be revealed.

Obviously I follow both Bleach and Naruto but over the last few months I haven’t watched anything new - there just seemed to be a dry season this year.

I tried to watch Hell Girl and Blood+ but neither could really hold my attention for longer than several episodes (I still have a back catalog of Blood to watch…). This however all changed when two certain girls entered my life: Haruhi Suzumiya and Haruhi Fujioka. Both of which have taken the anime community by storm especially Miss Suzumiya.
