Ouran Host Fan club

[Madame De Blurb]

Anyone have any ideas when this series might be fansubbed..I know it came out this week as part of the new season but I can't seem to find a subbed version as of yet. :anxiety attack: I'm really looking forward to watching this show along with some other spring selections of 2006 :)

[Suiko Eiji]

My general rule is that if it comes out this week, then I'd look out for a torrent sometime next week or the week after. With a lot more groups taking on so many projects as of late, I've not seen as many Zero-Day subs as was in the past. Plus, if you give it some time, if the show is subbed by mulitple groups (or anyone in that case), then you might actually run across some real quality translation, again, as opposed to zero day subs.

I've got a couple things on my list that were supposed to air yesterday (Thurs, 04.06) in Japan, so I'll probably start looking this weekend or next week for the first episodes to be up and ready to go.

[Madame De Blurb]

^ thanks for advice..after reading some animeblogs I began getting impatient to see the few series that I'm looking out for that are out this week. I'll keep on the lookout and hope for the best since I noticed Kashimashi sorta experienced a fansub slowdown which now seems to be taken care of. :P

[Suiko Eiji]

^ To be honest, some of the series I was most looking forward to this past Autumn are *just now* being fansbbed. I'm hoping I can watch my Spring and Autumn selections together this year.

[DazzleKitty]

Do you know who is fansubbing it? I love the manga for this, and I may have to find a torrent compatable with my computer so I can download this anime

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Doremi and Solar apparently are doing it

[DazzleKitty]

^ Thank you!

[yangster]

LunarAnime are subbing it right now and have released ep. 1 last night.

[Madame De Blurb]

^thanks I already d/l and watched it this morning. :blushing: can't wait for the next episode to come out next week. Tamamaki-kun is so cute :P

[dragonandante]

Looks like an interesting series from what I could tell from the first episode. Can't wait for the next episode.

[HitokiriShadow]

The premise never really caught my attention so I haven't read the manga, but I've DLed the first episode and will give the anime a try. It has Maaya Sakamoto in it, so it should at least be decent.

[Sumeragi13]

Wow, I lovethe manga, but I didn't know that they had made an anime of it! Cool!

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I'll be watchin 01 today, here's hopin.

[dxgarten]

Episode 2 of this fun series has just came out:

Screencaps and summary (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/archives/ouran_hostclub_ep2.html)

Tamaki is great as usual. His antics in trying to ensure that Haruhi does not share a romantic situation with anyone else is hilarious

[HitokiriShadow]

I watched the first episode and I'm liking this series. I can't wait for the second episode to be subbed.

[DazzleKitty]

I finally watched the first episode and LOVED it. I really want the next episode to be subbed soon. I have a feeling this is gonna turn into one of my most favorite series. I made a pretty Tamaki avatar too. Yay for me.

[Chikyuu Senshi]

I dove into the series with no background information at all. From the title, I assumed it was a harem anime or something. I was pleasantly surprised when it started. Not only are the men beautiful, but the story has quite a twist to it. God, I love those twins too.

[yangster]

I liked the first episode. It had a nice surprise at the end, even though I did read the summary, guess I have bad memory. I'll be looking forward to the see the rest of the series as it's released.

[LOSTyears]

I saw this show on a whim last week and was surprised on how good it was.
Of course I knew who Haruhi was already but I still enjoyed it.

Just watched ep. 2. Tamaki is too funny.
Those twins and Honey are a trip ^_^
Thought Haruhi's before and after was impressive.
I'm hooked to this show.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Downloading episode 2 right now.

[Squangos]

When I first watched the intro, I thought:
"Bishie guy, bishie guy, bishie guy… Oh hell, I've downloaded Yaoi!"

I did watch the first two episodes, though… It's good.

[master terrence]

I read most of the manga and liked it, but never got to finish it, so I just started d/ling the fansub today

[HitokiriShadow]

I watched the second episode and it was great.

My favorite Haruhi moment of the episode.

Haruhi: This is going to far.
Kyouya: I'll reduce your debt by a third.
Haruhi: Oh well, it's just a kiss on the cheek.

And then she ends up kissing Kyoka on the lips. :)

[xia]

I'm actually quite hooked on this show which is suprising because this flew under my radar!

Cannot wait for episode 3.

[okubyo Neko-san]

I've watched the first two episodes and I must say I really like. One of the series I will most definitly be following this year.

[dxgarten]

Episode 03 screencaps and summary (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/archives/ouran_high_school_host_club_ep3.html)

The story this time around is about a physical examination at school. So the boys try to ensure that no one knows about Haruhi's true identity

[Danju]

I liked the first episode. It had a nice surprise at the end, even though I did read the summary, guess I have bad memory. I'll be looking forward to the see the rest of the series as it's released.
I hadn't read the summary before downloading (since I 'dove in' like Chikyuu Senshi) but I had a hunch. There were some shots of her where she was just too pretty. I love what they did with the light bulbs in that first episode. :naughty:

[The Million Dollar Prons]

02 was good. 03 should be fansubed pretty soon, so that'll be good.

[bravejaf]

Episodes 1-2 of this show were great. I really love the comedy in this show. So many funny moments and we are just two episodes in.

This is one of those shows where I watch it right after it finishes downloading. Can only think of 1 or 2 shows I'd rather watch instead of this one.

[xia]

AHHHH! Like i've mentioned before, this show totally flew under my radar. I put it on just to check it out for a couple minutes but so far it's my favorite show this season. I just finished watching episode three and I really like how it's turning out. I really want to read the manga now.


This is one of those shows where I watch it right after it finishes downloading. Can only think of 1 or 2 shows I'd rather watch instead of this one.

Ditto.

[dragonandante]

I like this show so far, interesting characters, pretty amusing, nice story line thus far. Very much worth watching.

[LOSTyears]

Watched ep. 3, every episode so far is great.
Tamaki singled out everyone else as gay side characters except for him and Haruhi :lol:
Tamaki is hilarious, most of his plans never work but I can't help but root for em.

Out of the new shows I've seen so far this one is refreshing.

[weiss_girl]

I cant stand the manga I just read vol.1 ,but maybe I will try the anime I think it will be alot better

[master terrence]

The artwork in the manga is really good though *nods* It's called host bu... or somethnig like that

[bravejaf]

Episode 3 was truely great, lots of moments that had me laughin in this one:


*Tamaki moaping after finding out how much less time he spends with Haruhi vs Kaorou and Hikaru
*Tamaki calling all the others "gay side characters"
*Tamaki dressing up as Haruhi

Kaoru and Hikaru's performance was also funny, like usual.

[HitokiriShadow]

Kyouya has officially become my favorite member of the club after his little solicitation for the photo albums.

[Stelok]

I've just watched the fansub of Ouran Host Fan Club episode 1. It was such an awesome first episode. Great and humorous start. I fell in love with this anime from the start. All the bishies in the anime are cool on the outside and inside. I cheered that the Host Club came to the defense of Fujioka Haruhi when that bratty princess accused her of being a violent.

This is really a reverse harem anime, like Fushigi Yuugi and Fruits Basket, but a lot more promising than either of the two.

Why is it in many anime there are two characters with the names Hikaru and Kaoru?
Hikaru and Kaoru- the sisters from Moon Phase
Hikaru and Kaoru- the brothers from Ouran Host Club

[Quattro Ninja]

My sister enjoys the manga so I gave it a try. I found it quite funny. Bishies notwithstanding.

I read all of the manga in America I think.

[Kangaroo Rat]

Lunar seems to be going a bit slow... is anyone else subbing this?

[xxxYaoiLovrxxx]

I saw the first two episodes and I really enjoyed it^_^

[HitokiriShadow]

Lunar seems to be going a bit slow... is anyone else subbing this?


Lunar has great subs but they can be slow at times. And there are some series from over a year ago that they haven't finished yet (AIR, Uta Kata, though the latter is due to translator issues). Lunar is more concerned with quality than with getting their releases out the soonest.

I believe two other groups are subbing it as well. Doremi is one, and I don't remember the name of the other. However, they aren't any farther than Lunar yet.

EDIT: The other group is Solar.

[master terrence]

Exams are around the corner, most fansubing groups will be slow.

[HitokiriShadow]

Yes, that's true. I didn't think about that aspect.

[Kangaroo Rat]

So... did the show skip a week, or has EP 4 simply not been subbed yet?

[HitokiriShadow]

I think it aired because Random_Ray (Lunar's translator for that series) said something about "this weeks episode of Ouran" in his blog a few days ago.

I finally caved and started reading the manga (which I had already bought, but was planning on saving for after the anime. Based on the episodes so far, I actually like the anime more than the manga.

[gameoffreak8]

I watched ep. 1; it's very good and hilarious. It's my favorite anime so far. I will watch ep. 2 & 3 today. Since the anime is very good so I decide to buy manga.
Yeah, Lunar has good subs. ^_^
I am not sure about Solar and Doremi have good quality.

[Baka Deshi]

I never thought I'd be this into such a heavily-shounen-ai-overtoned anime...but here we are. :P This show is actually pretty good, and quite funny.

I dig it because it's so ridiculously over-the-top that it's obviously parody. Highly amusing. :lol:

[dxgarten]

Episode 05 screencaps and summary (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/archives/ouran_high_school_host_club_ep5.html)

A funny episode that reveals more about the twins and what makes them tick. Also features an appearance from Nekozawa as well.

[Madame De Blurb]

The tears just come out from laughing so hard each time I see a new episode and Tamaki makes a total idiot of himself particularly where his ego is involved. I really wanted to die in ep 4 when you see his expression after the twins get him all riled up after closing in on Haruhi with the whole cookie scene. That moment along with some others like when he thought Haruhi had gotten hurt by those to thugs but instead her contacts had slipped out was priceless!

[LOSTyears]

^Those scenes were pretty good, I like the onewhere Tamaki is getting blasted by insult arrows. The roles they had to play were hilarious, could not see Honey as a villianous bully -_-; no matter how hard I tried. Speaking of the twins, episode 5 should be interesting.

[bravejaf]

Yeah I think Tamaki is probably my favorite character in the series so far, he always takes things way too far. Love all his pouting moments. His moments in episode 4, already mentioned above were great. Love how the twins antagonized him in that episode, that was definatly my favorite part of 4.

Overall I really like this show, its between this show and Suzumiya Haruhi for my favorite show this season.

[gameoffreak8]

I watched ep. 2-4. All of character in Ouran High School Host Club are very hilarious. It's very best show ever I seen. Ouran High School Host Club is my favorite anime so far.

[Madame De Blurb]

Lostyears..the scene you mentioned was great! I have to say that this series is very uplifting since I always end up laughing. I'm really looking forward to ep. 5...I also like Kyouya's (probably butchered the spelling) business sense...somehow he always finds a way to make sure the club is well funded. The "father" "mother" thing him and Tamaki have is hysterical especially when Tamaki gets shot down with some realistic comment Kyouya makes.

[LOSTyears]

Ep. 5 is one of my favorites so far.
As much as Im a fan of Tamaki I always found the twins equally interesting. The classroom (http://img324.imageshack.us/img324/4773/ohs52ni.gif) and cafeteria had me rolling. The twins are pretty slick too, I was convinced.

Even though some of the gags are repeating I'm amazed on how it continues to be funny.

[Sushikins]

I thought Episode 5 was the best episode so far in the series. They way the twins tricked Haruhi and the others was perfect, and there were plently of laughs along the way. This is probably the funniest show I've seen in a long time.

[gameoffreak8]

Episode five was very hilarious episode. My funnest moment are the classroom and cafeteria. This is best comedy anime I've seen.

[DazzleKitty]

Episode five was hilarious. Most anime doesn't make me laugh very hard, but this episode sure did.

[xia]

Yeah agree with the above poster. I woke up my nephew from laughing so loud.

My personal favorite for Haruhi. Hey forget Tamaki, i'm totally rooting for Haruhi + Hikaru!!

[Madame De Blurb]

I completely agree..the "fight" scenes are hysterical along with the changing hair color. I liked this as much as when Haruhi received the fake love letter in one of the latter episodes and it was being read with a fangirl intonation.The twins are totally in synch and very conniving..loved how it was all a ploy to trick Haruhi into inviting them to her home. This could end up being an amazing love triangle with Hikaru,Tamaki, and Haruhi. I can't wait to see the next one *bites lip*

[xia]

episode 6 wasnt as funny, but it was cool for some developement for Tamaki. I'm kinda tossing back and forth on my choice.

[NinjaJJ]

http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/6261/m0616a5tk.jpg

[Madame De Blurb]

I agree, after episode 5, I was really expecting something good, not to say that episode 6 was bad, but it took a different turn...more introspective instead of slapstick comedy..I interested to see what direction 7 will take. Haruhi seemed genuinely impressed with Tamaki's playing..ang it showed what a real softie he is deep inside.

[gameoffreak8]

I watched episode 6 and it was funny and I am enjoy to watch Tamaki's playing.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... but i did enjoy Renge-kun's definition of each boy's ,er, specialty.

[Sharp-kun]

Tamaki cosplay at Auchinawa for me :)

[gameoffreak8]

I watched episode 7. It was very better now. I can't laughing very hard on Tamaki's action and few scenes.

[xia]

I'm going to be sad if this doesnt get released on R1. It's reminding me so much of Fruits Basket (one of my favorite animes) and I'd love to be able to get it on dvd.

[LOSTyears]

http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/6261/m0616a5tk.jpgThis is a cute scene from 7 w/Tamaki and yet another reason why Haruhi is so damn cute. (http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/9290/haruhitamaki78fo.gif)
I'm glad there's another beach episode after this one ^_^

[DazzleKitty]

This anime has officially become my new obssession. And it's about dang time I found a new one!

Haha, I so cannot wait for the next episode. My inner fangirl is ecstatic because of the fact that we get to see Kyouya shirtless.

[NinjaJJ]

The raw for episode 9 is out for download for anyone interested. ^_^

[HitokiriShadow]

I think everyone in this thread watches the fansubs (so raws are pretty pointless) and knows where to find them.

[Hideki 13]

Episode 8 just helped me to get more addicted. Now whenever i think of something funny it always deals with Ouran Host Club!!! Guess i need to make an animated avatar soon.

[master terrence]

some funny stuff, can't wait for the next sub. Alot easier to follow then the manga.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...just saw 8 yesterday. sorry. i choose my fansubbers. anyhoo, 8 was nice, and we finally get a glimpse of Haruhi acting like the girl she should be... ahh... poor tamaki-kun...

[Veradi]

Host Club is like the only series ever I've went to *ahem* extarordinary lengths to be able to see it. -_-; And I've enjoyed every moment of it and I can't wait for more. (especially if it keeps following the manga as well as it has). In short, Host Club is undeniably my current obessesion. I adore it. <3

*pokes Tamaki avie* He's just so darn cute. :wub:

[xia]

9 is out! YAAAAAAAAY

edit:
OMG...TOO MUCH MAKEUP...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[LOSTyears]

Dl 9 as I type.

Thought I'd share some more Haruhi cuteness. (http://img419.imageshack.us/img419/2598/haruhi89ld.gif)
The thing I find most interesting about Haruhi is her complete unawareness for gender. Which is one of the reasons we see a different side to Tamaki in ep. 8.
I found the scene with Kyoya and Haruhi interesting as well, personally I thought she gave him way too much credit.

Hopefully we'll get to see some more Nekozawa in the future.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...uh...Nekozawa? like a cat Mechazawa? im waiting for a certain group to finish Ouran...

[FURUBA4EVER]

Just finished episode 10. ^_^ The anime is really following the manga consistently (although some of the episodes are a little jumbled as far as order when compared with the manga), and I'm really surprised that I'm liking the anime much more than the manga. (The comedy just seems to work better in animated format.)

Anyway...episode 10...ah, the clash between a father and a would-be boyfriend. And, of course, the would-be boyfriend just happens to be a popular ladies' man in a host club! Yes, I definitely want to see how this works out...

I have to admit, though...Tamaki and Haruhi's father do act a lot alike, so it wasn't too surprising to see that these two eccentric personalities would clash. ^_^

Can't wait for episode 11 (where Nekozawa will be introduced again). :)

[gameoffreak8]

I watched episode 10. A scene of Haruhi's father and Tamaki is very funny.

[master terrence]

10 was better than 8... I didn't like 8 at all actually.

Haruhi's dad has some interesting parrallels to Tamaki lol.

[Sushikins]

Episode 10 was great, by far one of my favorite episodes so far. Someone should call Tamaki Lord Mushroom now.

[VidelCoolGirl]

I'd join, I'm only up till 8 now. I'll finish it today.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Episode 10 was great, by far one of my favorite episodes so far. Someone should call Tamaki Lord Mushroom now.

Hail, Lord Mushroom! XD

*thinks she will put that as her new user title soon*

Anyway...anyone happy to see that Renge makes cameos in almost every episode? I've always liked her even since I read the manga, so I really like that she makes plenty of cameos in the anime. ^_^

[master terrence]

I wish we could see some of the manga's omakes put in...they were hilarious

[Sushikins]

Yeah, Renge is great, I love her character, especially in episode 9...now...where and when does she set up all those high powered motors...

[LOSTyears]

I found Tamaki's nightmare in 10 very ammusing, completely blown out of proportion.
Haruhi's father is a very hilarious & colorful character(to say the least), the conversation and scenes with him and Tamaki are gold. Even though its all about Haruhi x Tamaki, I like the cute moments she has with Mori. Short, sweet and harmless.
Looking forward to 11, about time we get more Nekozawa.

[HitokiriShadow]

Episode 10 was alright, but I can't wait for 11. That was my favorite chapter in the manga (with the Alice in Wonderland one right behind it, which I'm really hoping to see animated).

[VidelCoolGirl]

Hah! I love the SP and DS in episode 9! And instead of the computer being a Apple computer, it's a pinnapple.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Episode 10 was alright, but I can't wait for 11. That was my favorite chapter in the manga (with the Alice in Wonderland one right behind it, which I'm really hoping to see animated).

"Episode 13: Haruhi in Wonderland (Fushigi no Kuni no Haruhi)"

So, yes, it will be animated. :D (That was one of my favorite manga chapters too.)

[u_nick]

watched 10 tonight, and really REALLY liked it

i also need to get on the manga ASAP! :D

[HitokiriShadow]

"Episode 13: Haruhi in Wonderland (Fushigi no Kuni no Haruhi)"

So, yes, it will be animated. :D (That was one of my favorite manga chapters too.)


Awesome. I can't wait.

[Likely]

any guys watch this show? it seems ouran is all the buzz these days, but after seeing ep 1 it seems like a big bishie bummer! should i continue or stop right here?

[Yoshio]

it's definitely worth the watch, even though it looks bishie at times, the story and the humor is something that guys and girls both find entertaining (plus, there arent many bishie moments in the series, i think the first couple eps were the only ones that were really noticeable)

[u_nick]

I'm a guy, and I am loving it a LOT

Then again, i love a lot of Bishie stuff, so... :-\

[VidelCoolGirl]

Yeah, I just watched all 10 yesterday. Love this show.

[Sushikins]

I love this show, even though I'm a guy. Heck, I love Shoujo in general and like bishounen from time to time. This is my second favorite show this season (My favorite being NANA, which is the most popular shoujo manga in Japan).

[Madame De Blurb]

The latest episode was hysterical...Tamaki's reactions are so over the top and his dream sequence about Haruhi's standard of living was unforgettable. I won't even get into Ranka's comments about Tamaki...I just wanted to die from laughing so hard.

[Likely]

yes... but, im a heterosexual male. should i still watch it? i just dont know! im hurting for new stuff to watch but will this be worth the download?

[Madame De Blurb]

^ This series is really funny...it doesn't matter that you're a guy just the whole concept is entertaining...Haruhi, the main heroine of our show is so down to earth and the voice of reason per se that it really makes the show that much funnier with the host club antics...give it a shot..at least get to the into to Nekozawa (epi 5 or 6)..I swear this episode made me cry it was too funny for words..I think you'll be able to appreciate it for its over the top view of rich kid/poor kid interaction...it makes for a lot of lighthearted entertainment.

[VidelCoolGirl]

yes... but, im a heterosexual male. should i still watch it? i just dont know! im hurting for new stuff to watch but will this be worth the download?

You wont turn gay for watching the show. I'm straight and I've seen Shoujo-Ai before. Just watch it, it's worth your time.

[Victory]

Hmm I thought it was good enough, but as far as rich students go, it didn't make me laugh out like Nanami from Utena did

[HitokiriShadow]

yes... but, im a heterosexual male. should i still watch it? i just dont know! im hurting for new stuff to watch but will this be worth the download?

Yes. I'm a straight male and I love this show. Plenty of straight guys are watching this show. Heck, most of the posters on the Lunar forums that are watching this are guys.

You need to realize that this show makes fun of a lot of things, particularly shonen-ai/yaoi. The twins' little gay incest thing is just an act.

[Baka Deshi]

Yes, the key to this show is that it's a PARODY. :P Any and all BL, implied or otherwise, is used for humorous purposes. That said, this show is extremely funny...probably one of the funniest anime I've seen. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... watching the series to the latest episode, i was wondering. should i get the manga too? i never even laid eyes on the manga, yet, i have this urge to go buy at least the 1st book... does it have more info? backstory maybe?

[FURUBA4EVER]

... watching the series to the latest episode, i was wondering. should i get the manga too? i never even laid eyes on the manga, yet, i have this urge to go buy at least the 1st book... does it have more info? backstory maybe?

So far, the anime has left out the Halloween story arc (from volume 3, chapter 11)...though I don't know if that story arc will shown later. The manga, however, basically has the same storyline as the anime (though the events are becoming a little jumbled now that a story arc has been passed by). I think you should sample some of the manga since it's entertaining (though...I must admit, the anime seems more comedic; the jokes just seem to work better in animated format).

So...you should give the manga a try (if only to see what story arcs will happen in the anime before they occur). :thumbsup:

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... the question is: IS IT TOO SHOUJO? i mean, like, borderline yaoi?

[FURUBA4EVER]

I don't find it to be too shoujo (though...I may not be the one to ask XD). Just like the anime, all the shounen-ai hints are fake and used for comedy. Also...I found that the manga had interesting developments between Haruhi and the Hitachiin twins (since those story arcs have not been animated yet...or might never be), so that's a pro for the manga version.

Though...I must admit, the character designs for the anime are much less shoujo-ish than the manga. ^_^

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...that's what i wanted to hear. since it is nigh impossible for me to determine which is which (i mean who's a girl, or a boy), ESPECIALLY in shoujo.

[HitokiriShadow]

... the question is: IS IT TOO SHOUJO? i mean, like, borderline yaoi?

Not any more than the anime is.

The manga is certainly good and worth picking up, but I will say that this is a rare case where I think the anime surpasses the manga. You may be a bit disappointed in the manga some of the time.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...disappointed? like how? story arc-wise?

[HitokiriShadow]

No, story-wise it is fine. Its just not quite as funny as the anime. It lacks some of those seemingly random things like the lightbulbs in episode 1 or the monkey and banana peels in episode 10. And some of the jokes just seem to work a bit better animated.

That's not to say it's not funny though. There were plenty of humorous moments and I LOLed several times (which is rather rare for me).

[NinjaJJ]

Episode 11 summary and pics (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2006/06/13/ouran-high-school-host-club-11/). Looks like a funny episode... ^_^

[Manga Girl]

I LOVE OURAN HOST CLUB!!! :heart:

I watched it a couple of days ago and I can't wait for episode 11!!! :w00t: Tamaki is hilarious!!! XD Nekozawa's great too... :lol:

And Honey is exactly like Momiji in Fruits Basket...

[FURUBA4EVER]

I agree, Manga Girl. Honey = a more dramatic (and slightly scarier at times) version of Momiji. XD

Episode 11 summary and pics (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2006/06/13/ouran-high-school-host-club-11/). Looks like a funny episode... ^_^

I think Nekozawa has himself a new fangirl... :-" *cough* me *cough*

The scene in episode 5 where he shouted "MURDERERS!!!" in that shrill voice was priceless. Ever since then, he's been a favorite of mine (though his appearances have been few so far in the anime). XD Episode 11's going to be great. :D

*waits impatiently for it to be fansubbed*

I know what you mean... I'm a Nekozawa fangirl through & through. :lol:

[Likely]

You wont turn gay for watching the show. I'm straight and I've seen Shoujo-Ai before. Just watch it, it's worth your time.
hey u guys are right. i gave it another try and wow it's a really funny show. i didnt even know haruhi was a girl til i rewatched ep 1. ive been skipping around a bit though, episode 10 was hilarious!

[NinjaJJ]

After looking at the screen caps for the next episode... the thing that really piqued my interest was this one from the preview of the episode after this xD

[Madame De Blurb]

I can't wait for the next fansub release to come out...more Nekozawa yipee!!!

[FURUBA4EVER]

I somehow managed to watch episode 11 unsubbed... (It was hard, but I managed...although I know no Japanese whatsoever. XD)

Anyway...this episode was fairly faithful to the manga...though, of course, it was slightly more comedic. Also...we finally get to see Nekozawa's bishieness! So...yeah...twas a great episode. :P

Episode 12's going to be another fun episode too (since that manga chapter was hilarious). XD

*...now waits impatiently for the subbed release of ep 11...*

[Danju]

I finally got to watching 10, myself. I downloaded it a while ago, but I got too absorbed into Maison Ikkoku to watch it. I wished I'd watched it earlier. It was hilarious. My new avatar is from that episode.

[xia]

Nekozawa is hawt for an anime character.

That was a good episode. I giggled outloud a couple times.

[Madame De Blurb]

love Renge's boot camp style reformation for you know who..this episode was good...and Nekozawa is hot...total host club material..too bad he's obsessed with the dark side...although its what makes him interesting...love the doll. I wonder if someone sells it somewhere..must get one!

[Veradi]

I finished watching episode 11 yesterday and was a bit disappointed with it. I loved the Nekozawa parts, but the way the anime handled his entrance was very off.

I mean really, if Nekozawa is afraid of light so much he has to wear a robe and wig for "protection", then why is he walking around the school without it on? o.O I know they were squeezing this scene in from the manga (the "surprise" this is what Nekozawa-sempai really looks like scene), but still. In the manga it happened at night, at his own home, so it made sense that he would come running to see what was going on unknowingly without his garb. It was a funny scene in the manga, but the anime made it seem out of place.

Other than that, much much LOVE for Ouran~! :wub:

I started watching episode 12 raw tonight (the first part) and it's very good. Can't wait to find out what they were actually saying. XD

[FURUBA4EVER]

I agree with everything you said about episode 11, Veradi. While it was still a very nice and funny episode, the Nekozawa scenario could have been handled a bit better. In that respect, though, it's nice that the anime is a bit different from the manga. It's always fun to see different sides of the same story. ^_^

Anyway...I just finished watching episode 12 raw. Cute episode. XD

Finally, we have an episode devoted to Honey (and, to a lesser extent, Mori!). I was happy to see that the bonus chapter from the manga ("Honey's Bun-Bun" from volume 1) was the opener for this episode! Even though it lasted for only about 5 minutes, it was still nice to see animated! Also...the bunny-shaped explosions from Honey's anger were a nice effect. XD

So...the main focus of this episode is Honey getting a cavity and having to refrain from eating sweets until it's fixed. Poor Mori has a lot to deal with in this episode (since he's Honey's unofficial guardian). While having to make sure that Honey doesn't sneak any sweets, Mori also has to face Honey's wrath! :lol: It was funny to see that Honey kept going to such lengths just to get sweets! I thought it was so cute...and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him! XD

And now I'm rambling...but this was one of my favorite chapters from the manga. So...I was really happy to see it animated. :P

And the next episode is "Haruhi in Wonderland"! :w00t: Next week can't come quickly enough. ^_^

(Also...I was wondering if anyone had any idea what episode 14 would be about? The title for the episode is "Collect Information on the Rumored Host Club"...but I'm not sure if it will be based on a manga chapter or not. It could be the adaption of chapter 16 [which comes next in the timeline], but I'm not positive.)

[HitokiriShadow]

I don't really care about Honey's toothache, but I can't wait for "Haruhi in Wonderland." That was one of my favorite parts of the manga.

Ah, nice. Thanks. ;)

[Madame De Blurb]

the toothache episode was funny...love the beginning when Honey is sleeping and Tamaki starts going into his horror story about what happens if Honey is woken up. The rabid fangirls are awesome like always...I felt the fangirl in me twinge with glee between the shounen-ai overtures.

[xia]

yeah I really liked episode 12...some didnt apparently though.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...well, episode 12 was mostly a Honey and Mori episode anyway. though i did love the imaginations of the twins and Tamaki. haruhi in both bunnygirl and usagi costume. rawr.

[Hideki 13]

Downloading episode 12 right now!!!

[FURUBA4EVER]

And who doesn't love Honey and Mori? They're good characters who needed some more development (especially poor Mori, since he barely says anything). XD

If this anime ever goes into filler episodes (or possibly a second season)...I really hope they'll focus a bit more on Mori. And Kyoya. Those two need more spotlight time (especially when compared with how much Tamaki and the Hitachiin brothers have the spotlight). :ph34r:

[Danju]

And who doesn't love Honey and Mori?
I don't much care for Honey-senpai...I'm not a fan of the whole "loli-shota" character and I think he gets really annoying. Mori is pretty cool, though. We definitely need to see more of him since, as you said, the guy hardly says a thing.

Anyway, yeah, since the loli-shota character annoys me, I wasn't a big fan of this episode (12). The beginning was pretty funny though. I might not like Honey's personality, but the fact that despite his size he's a martial artist is awesome. I laughed out loud (which I don't do much) when he responded "I'm still sleepy" to the American.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Well...while I agree that Honey can be annoying sometimes, I suppose that I like him more because of something that was brought up in the original manga. The author (Bisco Hatori) commented about Honey possibly having a split personality or something...so I always thought that element would be nice if it was implemented into Honey's character. XD I doubt it will happen...but you never know. ^_^

Also...when Honey's angry (or I suppose you could say dark) side emerges...he's a force to be reckoned with. :P

[gameoffreak8]

I watched ep. 12; it was little funny so far. I am looking forward Haruhi in Wonderland which HitokiriShadow and Furuba talk about.

[LOSTyears]

They're good characters who needed some more development (especially poor Mori, since he barely says anything). XD
If this anime ever goes into filler episodes (or possibly a second season)...I really hope they'll focus a bit more on Mori. And Kyoya.Yeah I hope so to, Mori's charcter has grown on me.
Ep. 12 wasn't the best but there were some funny moments, found the fangirls reaction to Honey & Mori and Renge's commentary hilarious.
Looking forward to the much anticipated next episode.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Episode 13 is now available raw (for those who are impatient like myself).

I just finished watching it; needless to say, it was an interesting episode. (I've been waiting for Haruhi in Wonderland ever since I saw the episode title a few weeks ago!) It diverged from the manga's version, but, somehow, that made it even more of a fun episode. The ending was quite good as well. ^_^

And the ongoing banana peel gag appears yet again! :lol:

I hope the subbed version of this episode will be available soon (since, not understanding Japanese, I got confused at a few parts).

Here's hoping episode 14 (Collect Information on the Rumored Host Club) will be fun too! :D

[Madame De Blurb]

Just finished epi 15..and man was it funny. Tamaki's expressions and his friendly rivalry with the Hitachin twins is the best not to mention Haruhi's "evil" comment about Kouya. I was rotfl...I cannot wait for 16 to come out!!!

[FURUBA4EVER]

Episode 16 is going to deal with Hikaru's date with Haruhi. XD That was my favorite manga chapter. :D

I hope it's as hilarious (if not more so) than the original. (Of course...I'm expecting it to be.)

On another note...did anyone see that the first pressing of the Japanese R2 Ouran DVDs come with figurines? I haven't seen any pictures of the Haruhi one that comes with volume 1 yet...but I'm sure they're adorable! (A Tamaki figurine is supposed to come with the first pressing of volume 2. XD)

[u_nick]

O_O Ouran figures? Figures are my addiction. I must check these out!

edit: looks like they are chibi figures:

(from the official site)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/haruhidvd02.jpg
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y122/nickclkknt/haruhidvd01.jpg

Not a "Must Have" for me anymore, but cute nonetheless...

[FURUBA4EVER]

I thought they would be chibi figures. XD

Of course...I'd expect that there will be regular figurines released later on since the anime series is rather popular. I'd love it if there were some. :D

[u_nick]

totally agreed. gashapon, PVCs, heck, i'd take anything right now! :D

[tsuki no miko]

Yeeesssss!!!
Episode 16's out~:woot:
Hope it's better than the manga~!

[master terrence]

I loved this one, especially the ending... the host club is like freaking out now.

[gameoffreak8]

I am just finish watching ep. 15, it's very funny to me. I can't wait to watch ep. 16.

[Sushikins]

Episode 15 had me laughing a lot. I'm really enjoying this show. If it keeps this up till the end, theer's a good chance it'll end up somewhere in my top 5.

[LOSTyears]

Liked 16, it was a cute episode.
Kaoru was very cunning in this one and Hikaru was a huge brat. This ep. really distinguishes the twins even further. Haruhi was ridiculously cute during that date.
Wasn't a particularly funny one except for the scenes with Tamaki which are always gold.
Interested in the next ep., which focuses on Kyoya.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Ah, still need to watch 16. I need to get the Manga, I don't know what my problem is.

[Madame De Blurb]

saw epi 16...hikaru may act bratty in this one but he's still cute to me...i'm interested to see how the relationship develops..Tamaki is awesome as usual! XP

[LOSTyears]

I'm not a huge fan of Kyouya but 17 was very amusing.
I love all of his scary faces, I'm not exactly a morning person either so I can feel for the guy. The end where Tamaki calls his name over the intercom was priceless :lol: Haruhi making a comparison between the two is a bit of stretch though.
Next ep. should be interesting with the focus on Honey. Being mostly used as a cute & comical character he's kind of hard to develop, should be fun though.

[Kangaroo Rat]

Maybe I need to find better ways to spend my time than wondering where the next episode is... but did Ouran skip a week of airing or is Lunar just being slow?

[Sushikins]

Lunar being slow is nothing new in my experience, and I didn't hear anything about the show skipping a week.

[babyk123abc]

I have to agree with everyone first and foremost!! Ouran is the freshest revival of anime comedy since Fruits Basket (for me anyway). But what is the latest episode out? It think I got to ep 17ish. I do not know how to use Torrent so I just have to search YouTube like the lame person I am!! *tear* . . . . Anywho as long as I get my *FIX* I am happy!!! . . .Anyone know . . Well of course you do everybody can't wait for the next ep to be released!! lol . . .fill me in plz! -_-;

[HitokiriShadow]

Lunar being slow is nothing new in my experience, and I didn't hear anything about the show skipping a week.

Yeah, but usually it seems to be due to translators taking their time or having real life issue and Ray is usually on top of things. I think we'll get the next episode within the next few days. Besides, I'd rather they take longer so we get good qualtiy subs than have it rushed and get mistakes.

On a side note.... am I the only one still waiting for the rest of Uta~Kata?

get opera, it is a web browser like Inter net explorer, but it has a built in Bittorrent client, so when you click a torent it handles it :D

ofcourse there is the matter of port forwarding.

[babyk123abc]

hhhmmm as much as I love the info . . . .I haven't heard of opera. .. . .is there a link that you can send me so I wouldn't have to trouble anyone to get up to speed?? . .. . Thank you!!!! ^_^ I humbly appreciate!!

[babyk123abc]

I just have to say that then end of episode 18 is hilarious!! They actually came thru with Honey-sengpai!! *Kudos* 2 them!! ^_^

[Yoshio]

where did you find episode 18, according to lunar on IRC they have only released up to 17

[HitokiriShadow]

Some other group I've never heard of released 18

[Sushikins]

Ah FRoP, they released an earlier episode as well. Only seen their releases on YouTube though. Well, I'm tired of waiting for Lunar, so I'll watch it.

[master terrence]

If its on youtube, Ill pass. I'll wait for lunar. tuberube quality looses in my book.

[HitokiriShadow]

I saw a FRoP torrent, but I'm going to hold out for Lunar.

[babyk123abc]

where did you find episode 18, according to lunar on IRC they have only released up to 17

Well I do not have enough skills for downloading nor is my Pc up to speed . . . So I seen it on YouTube . . . But it does say what "server" they got it from!

[badbaby92]

I don't know if it's because of different subber or not, but the series is kinda getting less humorous. btw, ep 19 is kinda insane, the whole lobelia girls' academy is just so f*ck*ng crazy <_<. no matter what, i'd love to finish this series. it's my favorite.

Oh, I LOVE TAMAKI.
its kinda a shame to say this but it's the first time in my life I reached my hand out to touch a character on the screen everytime he made me laugh. his reaction is just so KAWAII :wub:
I LOVE TAMIKI

[cutiepieanna15]

my downloads are taking foreva for this series, but it's so dam good! I love it! XD! it makes me laugh every time too. so far I've only got to ep 5, can't wait for the rest though :D
so far my fave characters are Tamaki Suoh and Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka! i heart them to death! :D

THEY'RE SOOO CUTE! XD!

[DazzleKitty]

I love Tamaki too! He's so dang cute! I like how he is so enthusiastic when it comes to Haruhi, then gets into a total drama queen slump when things don't go his way with her.
I always end up liking the blond boys the best. That's a pattern that's been developing for a while now....

[Madame De Blurb]

^his slump mode makes Tamaki even more delicious :yum:..lI lmao everytime he scurries off to the side or corner of some room. I ended up watching 18 with Frop fansubbers although I love lunar..the fangirl in me just couldn't hold out.

[tsuki no miko]

episode 20 was a blast~!
Ohhh~The Hitachiin twins~!

I think Bones is doing a good job of using the manga as a main source but adding more style and character to the anime.^^ episode 21 looks promising too~It's a Halloween episode and the preview is so enticing~!

[badbaby92]

oh well, i haven't watched ep 20. is it subbed yet?

i like Hitachiin twins too, esp Hikaru in ep... 16, isnt it? ^_^

Haruhi is always carefree, I wonder if she does have feelings towards any guys in the Host club. I think Tamaki and Haruhi would make a great couple. ;)

[shezaei_neko]

I began to watch this series like 3 days ago. And I want more now!!
It's a great series!! Haruhi rules all the way!!! She's so d@mn cool!! :cheers:
I think that she would be a great couple with Tamaki or one of the twins.....
Btw, I'd like to see more images of Haruhi with long hair... ^_^

[Madame De Blurb]

She's definitely levelheaded and got it together in order to not fall for such hot guys...who could have such willpower....not I...I'm one of the screaming fangirls they would be hosting. ;)

[shezaei_neko]

I would become a Haruhi-fan-girl If I didn't know the truth.... ^_^
The natural rookie!!

[master terrence]

:lol: 18 was prettfy funny. I have a completely different out take on cake now.

Yay to Lunar for falling of the map again.

[Madame De Blurb]

^what happened to Lunar...they were so consistent with their releases...has this happened before cause it would seem to be the case from your statement. Granted that I always consider personal issues and lives to take precendence so I figured maybe something of that nature came up.

[HitokiriShadow]

The translator was moving so that caused some delay. In addition, a lot of the Lunar team is/was on vacation. And yes, this has happened before. There were a few occasions where Bleach was delayed by a couple weeks (namely right after the Soul Society arc ended). Coyote Ragtime Show was also behind, but they released all of the current episodes a few days ago, so we should see more Ouran soon.

But a couple weeks isn't a big deal. Lunar has been releasing episodes of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch roughly once every 5-6 weeks. Some of us are still waiting for the rest of AIR and Uta~Kata, both of which are 13 episode series that haven't had an episode released in over a year.

[cutiepieanna15]

I love Tamaki too! He's so dang cute! I like how he is so enthusiastic when it comes to Haruhi, then gets into a total drama queen slump when things don't go his way with her.
I always end up liking the blond boys the best. That's a pattern that's been developing for a while now....
ya, for so reason i always fall for the blondies :lol:
or guys w/ black hair ^_^

[master terrence]

fansubbing is like hapless charity work sometimes. It is expected that you take a break once in a while.

[Madame De Blurb]

EEK!!!! Now FRoP d/l's seem to have technical issues from 18 onward..:give me oxygen: I'm going through Ouran withdrawal!!!!!

[tsuki no miko]

hmmm...Just watched episode 21 last night.
It was funny as usual. But...
Something from that episode tells me there's going to be a big change of relationships and plot. -_-;

[Madame De Blurb]

I'm happy to say I found an alternative way to d/l FRoP fansubs. I cannot wait to see 21 if only I was fluent in japanese so I could watch the raw version.

[Yoshio]

i just saw ep 22, and i must say that this had me laughing pretty hard at some points, all i'll say for now is simply this, MAH!!!! :lol:

[LOSTyears]

I liked 22 as well, it was nice to finally get a weird reaction out of Mori who has been virtually stone faced throughout the entire show.

[Ce'Nedra]

I think that 22 has been my favorite so far. It was cute and hilarious, and...MAH!?! :P

[tsuki no miko]

yeah 22 was pretty funny with a stone-faced Mori silently asking for Tamaki's help.
<Tasukete!> :lol: and Kasanoba's cute-item.....:lol:

I just downloaded epi 23 and it looks like fun too~!
Say, I wonder when the series is gonna end though.

[master terrence]

I saw 22, it was good, but the ending opened up a can of worms.


Say, I wonder when the series is gonna end though.

ANN said 26.

[Ce'Nedra]

I saw 22, it was good, but the ending opened up a can of worms.

True :/ I'm hoping that Kasanoda wasn't just made up for the TV series so that it can end more quickly. I love the guy and want him to be a recurring character in the manga. *crosses fingers*

[u_nick]

just finished 22. it was great.

i rarely literally 'laugh out loud' during an anime, even this funny ones. I LOLed during this episode at LEAST 5 times.

:D

cant wait for 23!

[tsuki no miko]

Oh god, watched epi 23 and....
Jeez the comedy looks likes it's gonna turn into a romance series-_-;
Looks like feelings for haruhi are sprouting out? :lol:

[hiei_kurama27]

Episode 22 just became my favorite Ouran episode. Id never have expected Mori to have those expressions. It was so hilarious. Cant wait til 23.

[shezaei_neko]

After watching shots of ep. 23, it looks really good!
Can't wait to see it!! Specially seeing Renge going MOE again.... ^_^

[hiei_kurama27]

Man, I watched 23 raw also this evening. As humorous as the episode looked and sounded, I was sad. I put my hands on my head and said "I CANT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!" :crybaby:

[Kohana]

Man i wanna see 22, i been searching for it for ever a week now... im begining to get withdrawl symptoms :( ..... but i wont give up hope, il catch up to u guys if its the last thing i do!

[gameoffreak8]

I watched ep. 22; it's very funny. I am looking forward to watch ep. 23

[tsuki no miko]

Hmm..it looks like people are having a hard time looking for ep. 23?
I wonder why; it airs in Japan on Wednesday or Tuesday or something
so I watcehd ep.23 last Saturday. Is it harder to get raws in the States?

[u_nick]

i dont watch raws since i dont know the language. waiting for the subs myself ;)

[Kohana]

Right!!! i finally watched 22, it was totally funny.... now wanna find a subbed 23 b4 the rest of u guys!.... i wonder if poss :P .... Man wish i could speak japanese.... even planing to take it on as an extra at uni....DAMN IM ADDICTED!

[tsuki no miko]

Ah~so the raws are out but the subs aren't?
I guess I get faster access to subs too then; the Korean fansubbing is pretty fast I suppose. -_-;

[shuureigirl]

I also saw 22 last night and it was HILARIOUS. I wonder what's going to happen between the red haired guy and the blonde haired guy? *mind wanders into BL territory* :P I want to be as vague as possible so as not to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it.

[tsuki no miko]

Watched ep 24~!!
It was really touching~! I really liked the ending sequence with the metaphor of the painting!! Ouran is funny but I do like the soft touching episodes too~!:)

The preview for ep 25 looks kinda uneasy though cuz the title is 'The break up announcment of the host club' :crybaby:

[Kohana]

Yeh i totally agree, im loving the way ouran is telling the stories of each members significance, and as for the 25 preview lets just hope its set to mislead us... ouran must never leav! :'(

[tsuki no miko]

Okay..I watched episode 25~

I don't wanna spoil anything but I'll just say the anime looks like it's gonna end in an abrupt sort of way.

I'm looking foward to the last episode..it looks promising..
Wah~!! It's ending~It's so sad~! :crybaby:

[nekochan]

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS ANIME..

=x they need to make season 2 or i'm going to shoot someone.

[shezaei_neko]

Too bad this is ending!! I want another season!!

[master terrence]

it goes up to 26.. no secret there.

if you read the title of the episodes, or the manga, they disband in 25, have a re-union in 26

[LostCause]

I watched 3 episodes and could not bear any more. I didn't like the idea, the art. Humour was not enough to keep me interested. Instead of flaming, tell me if I should give it another try, did I miss something, or what?

[Kohana]

I THINK IM GONNA CRY ....OURAN IS OVER! hmmm... how mean, the ending didnt really finish it off completely but then in a way it did as i cant imagine what the next season would b based on now that Haruhi has cleared her debt... but who knows!

It goes up to 27 actually, then it ends :'( Waaaa! As for you lost cause id say give it another try but it may not make a difference, my boyfriend couldnt handle one ep before he fell asleep, the humour is a lil different which is why i think most people like it.

[Fukki]

I'm sad that it's over too :( It's going to be hard to find another series like this, unless of course they make a second season. But even if they are, it's going to be a while since the first season covered up to around volume 8/9 of the manga already. Not much material for another season, so I guess we'll have to wait until there's more manga material for them to work with >_<

[tsuki no miko]

I watched 3 episodes and could not bear any more. I didn't like the idea, the art. Humour was not enough to keep me interested. Instead of flaming, tell me if I should give it another try, did I miss something, or what?
Don't worry I've seen people like you. People have their own preferences when it comes to anime so if you didn't like it move on to a different one. ;)

Maybe it was the whole rich vs poor structure in the anime. The anime does go a little too far with the exaggeration of the gap between economic classes(Sometimes a bit freaky-like the poor people coffee -_-) and I've seen serious people who criticize this anime saying that it spreads about an unconscious but rather blatant message of beautifying the rich and looking down on the poor.

Anyways I downloaded the last episode today. It's gonna be hard for me to part with this series~!

[DazzleKitty]

I'm behind in watching this. I watched four episodes last night (up to episode 16). I'll probably finish it off this weekend. It will be sad to see it end. I am assuming there are no canon couples by the end, eh?

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Maybe it was the whole rich vs poor structure in the anime.

Maybe it's just me, but Ouran seemed to make fun of the rich as much as it beautified them. True, it did glamorize the lifestyles of the wealthy and put too much emphasis on Haruhi's lack of luxury, but there were also many situations in which the wealthy - not just the host club, but other characters - just looked like complete fools. I guess what I was looking at was the fact that the most sensible character in the entire series was none other than Haruhi herself.

[Sushikins]

I finished it this morning, ending wasn't the most impressive I've seen, but still good. I don't think there has ever been an anime that has ever made me laugh so hard and so often.

[babyk123abc]

I just finished it today myself! I really enjoyed this series. . .I even got some exchanged japanese students on campus to pick it up also . . . how cool is that??!! lol I will miss this series as I will Fruits Basket . . .Both had me dying laughing and nearly to tears!!!

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...im still in the process of getting ep. 26 from a certain fansubbing group.

[sasami-riyo]

im on ep. 20 as of now...holding my breath til the end....^^

[tsuki no miko]

Wah~! It ended!!
I finished the series last night also~and..well; I'll have to say it's not a very impressive ending but okay nonetheless. -_-;

I guess I'll read the manga now since the plot is different.

[shezaei_neko]

I liked this series a lot!! It's been a while since I laughed like I did with this series. It's now in my favorite list!

[DazzleKitty]

What do you think the chances are of this getting licensed? I was thinking about getting the R2s if it doesn't seem likely. I am not sure whether to hold off or not.

^I think the chances are quite good. It's a shoujo anime, but goes well beyond that category. It can appeal both genders because of the comedy and its not-so-ordinary style. Even people looking for something more complex would be able to appreciate the ingenuity of the narrative in Ouran.

You should wait, at least for a while.

I am sure this one will get licenced. It IS pretty popular. It may take some time though.
Haruhi Suzumiya will go on the licencing cutting board first.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Besides, the manga was licensed, wasn't it? I'm sure at some point someone will decide to license the anime, as well, especially if the manga turns out to be rather popular.

The odds for this getting licensed are pretty high. Sadly, it will almost certainly be by Viz, who recently started a Shojo Beat dvd line and are in need of more titles for it (they only have Full Moon so far) and the only titles they have to choose from (unless they get the anime to something they don't have the manga of) are Ouran, Nana, Aishiteruze Baby (which will probably never be licensed), and La Corda d'Oro which starts airing in a few weeks.

I liked this series a lot!! It's been a while since I laughed like I did with this series. It's now in my favorite list!
Me too. I have NEVER laughed so much watching any anime series. It is the funniest one I have ever seen. And on top of that, it's put together so great that it never seems like forced situational comedy. The comedy is just part of the natural pace. :)

Revive! I was bored, went to the very last thread and worked my way up...;)

OMG? I so love this show. So when is this going to be dubbed? I might watch it but...I love their original voices! It so fits their character!

And is there going to be a second season? :D

Finished this about 25 seconds ago. Damn that was an awesome ending. The whole thing was. I felt like it actually had a conclusion. Beautiful series.

[Caster13]

I think that the ending didn't do the series justice at all. But I am DEFINITELY buying the series when it comes out on DVD.

I'm kinda holding out hope that there will be a miraculous second season... I think by far my favorite part of the series is the first episode with the light bulbs turning on.. xD

Well...you're right in a way...they did leave some stuff hanging...but I thought a lot of the things at the end were interesting enough to make up for it.

They need to hurry up and get this out in America. My collection is craving it.

[Caster13]

I'm worried about how the dub will turn out.:blink:
