I personally like this show.... And this is why.

Well, I have to say, this anime was very good. Funny, and slightly disturbing, to tell you the truth. A couple of the characters are slightly perverted.

(Slight spoilers here) Haruhi is a girl (actually mistaken for a guy as far as I've watched) that goes to Ouran High School, a place full of rich kids. She got in through a special scholarship, making her unusual in the school. While looking for a place to study, she goes into an empty music room. In this room, she found her school's host club, a group of handsome guys wanting to "bring fortune to the ladies"... They have a guy for each type. There's the "king," Tamaki, the "cool-type," Kyouya, the "little devils," Hikaru and Kaoru (twins), the "loli-shota," Mitsukuni (aka Mitsukuni), and the "cool-type," Takashi (aka Mori). Haruhi trips, after meeting these men, and knocks over a vase, which promptly breaks, causing her to become the slave of these men. However, she becomes more popular with the men, and they decide (after a slight makeover... *cough*) that she should become a host like them. So she soon gets customers (ladies, thinking she is male) and in this way, she pays back the money she owes for breaking the vase. *end spoilers*

I liked this show a lot. The guys not only show acceptance to the weird kid, (funny, seeing as most shows show that the weird kids are picked on the most by the popular rich kids) but they also enjoy her company, respect her in every since of the word, and are loyal and protective (which could be a bad thing in Tamaki's way). The characters are all different, and yet the same. The story, although the theme is "Haruhi must act as a guy to repay a debt," they show that after a while, the guys of the Host Club (with the exception of Kyouya) don't really care for the debt, and like hanging out with Haruhi better.
