REVIEW

This is the show that introduced me to anime. I have a soft spot in my heart for rom-coms and this definitely falls under that category. But speaking of introductions, the intro song to this show is so sappy and yet I love hearing it every time a new episode comes on. It's definitely very good at hyping you up for the shenanigans that go on in this show, and there are a lot. Each episode has it's own story and can make this a good starter anime. If you can't remember what happens in the first episode when you're on the 5th it won't make that big of a difference.

This isn't your typical shoujo anime where all the main male characters are in love with this cute feminine female lead. In this you have a few of the main characters and a few side characters (both male and female) fall in love with the female lead who is pretending to be a boy. This can make for a few odd situations. Like a boy falling in love with a girl, only everyone else thinks it's another boy, and all the girls hearts going out to him when he is rejected before he can even confess his love.

Like I said earlier, each episode has it's own story and sometimes it will end up spilling into the nest episode. Along with making it easy to follow, it also gives you a lot of new experiences to look forward to. They have an episode dedicated to Halloween and a scare competition. Like a lot of other animes out there, they have an episode dedicated to a beach visit. And one of my favorites is an episode that gives and Ouran twist to a famous tale, Alice in Wonderland.

It's a good go to show for a good laugh or to get you in a good mood. the characters compliment each other well bringing all sorts of elements. You have the charming idiot, the mischievous twins, the cutesy cake devour-er and his older big brotherly side kick, the cool business guy and the girl that everyone thinks is a boy. I can't even begin to count how many times this show has made me laugh so hard that I get embarrassed even when no one is around and even though I've seen it several times.
