Ouran High School Host Club

Alrighty. Anime! Woot! This review is just a few hours late, and sadly a tad short. However the show viewed is quite good!

Tonight we're taking a peek at the first episode of Ouran High School Host Club. This high school is like no other, it's a private, rich, elitist school where everyone is beautiful and filthy rich (some are even royalty). However, our protagonist is actually quite poor, not even having enough money to buy a proper uniform.

How did she get in? Turns out she's extremely smart and made it in through scholarship.

Things kick off when she encounters a group of students called the Host Club. After breaking an expensive vase, they take her in so that she can work off what she owes. Though at first none of them even realize she's female, largely due to her looks and poor clothing. Eventually they all figure it out and since she's a hit as a male, they keep her around.

Now the first episode is very enjoyable, we're introduced to our main crew. A number of the characters are rather delightful, while some are going to take a few episodes to fully grow on me. The animation is quite good (far far better than for other shows I've reviewed to this date), though the intro credits are still growing on me a bit. If you are a fan of anime and are looking for something not dependant on kicking and punching, this is most likely for you.
