Ouran High School Host Club

Looks pretty gay, right? Ouran High School Host Club is about a private school where this club of attractive young men hosts parties and stuff for the female students, who fawn over them for their various qualities, including some slightly disturbing ones like the senior who looks like a six year old and a pair of twins who are just a little too close. What's the twist? Their newest recruit is secretly a girl! WOAH!

Embarrassing-to-describe premise aside, Ouran is a pretty enjoyable romantic comedy. There's plenty of ridiculous slapstick situations arising all of the time, which tend to amuse more often than they don't, and also some scenes of genuine sentiment. The various main characters are fairly gimmicky but likable enough and fun when they interact, and the show is mostly harmless entertainment. Some dramatic stuff starts happening near the end that I don't really remember, and it all rounds out in the typical anime fashion of nearly satisfying all the unresolved issues, but not quite. Shows similar to this litter the wasteland of mediocre animation in droves, but this one was good enough to avoid that fate.
