So I just finished watching the Ouran High School Host Club anime series. I began it about a week ago, finding it on demand with my cable company. It seemed so silly and pointless, that I wouldn't get into it. But a few days later out of boredom I tried some more, and spent the last couple days glued to my computer watching the rest online.

So the story centers around a group of boys, and one girl disguided as a boy, and their club at the rich kids school, Ouran. Haruhi, a tomboyish middle class girl who got into Ouran on an honors scholarship, stumbles into the host club's room, breaks an expensive vase by accident and the handsome boys of the club decide she must pay for the expensive vase she broke by being their servant. They soon find that she is good with the girls who come to their club and put her to work as a host (a male host). All the boys in the club grow to love Haruhi. Tamaki, the leader (king) of the club, says he feels for Haruhi as a father would a daughter. Then there are the mischeivious twins Hikaru and Karou, ultra cute Honey and his constant calm and aloof companion Mori, and finally the guy who holds the club together by managing it, Kyoya.

At first, the episodes just follow the antics of the club members and trying to keep Haruhi's true gender a secret, but as this 26 episode anime progresses, we find out more about the characters; their pasts, their troubles, and their true feelings. So this frivolous show became a bit more meaningful, going into the joys of getting to know those you never thought you'd associate with, and showing how certain people can change how you view the world around you and live your life.

 The ending was cute and satisfying. Ouran High School Host Club left me feeling warm inside and was fun to watch, teaching me that I shouldn't judge an anime by its looks and a short summary.
