just started watching ouran high school host club.... and at first I was like.... ITS GAY PRON!!!.... but am now thinking its pretty funny but slightly ackward at points o.o
YAY! You'll LOVE it!!!
I know I can not stop watching it is mainly making me laugh in embarassment but its still funny I am on like episode 10 right now
Yes, the show is funny, but it just didn't work for me on some level. Perhaps it's just a little too self-aware. The breaking down the fourth wall thing was great as a novelty, but dragged out over 26 episodes, it gets a little trite. Also, the fact that it's clearly designed to have a central non-character through which the viewer can insert herself into the story is a little irritating. The lead role, Haruhi is not actually a character at all, but rather a placeholder for the viewer, so as to enable the fantasy. That is why she has no personality whatsoever.
I suppose you could level the same criticisim at shonen romances like OMG and Love Hina, but in those cases, who among us (males) would actually
want to be Keiichi or Keitaro?
