Ouran High School Host Club (Japanese: 桜蘭高校ホスト部, Hepburn: Ōran Kōkō Hosuto Kurabu) is an anime series based off of the manga of the same name which aired from April 5 to September 26, 2006.

Plot
Haruhi is a poor tomboyish student at a school for the ultra-wealthy, able to attend because of a scholarship, and unable to even afford a uniform. One day, she stumbles across the decidedly peculiar but very popular Ouran Host Club. She tries to leave, but accidentally breaks a vase, and unable to pay for it, she's told that she'll have to stay and do odd jobs. That is, until they decide she would be more valuable as a club member. Not realizing she's female due to her appearance, they fix her up and give her a male uniform. She's an instant hit, so they decide to have her keep up the charade even after they find out the truth. Haruhi, being average almost to a fault, doesn't know what to make of the unconventional activities of the Host Club (or of the even more unconventional members), but having little choice, she plays along. Before long, real bonds are formed, friends made, and Haruhi finds herself accepted in a way she could never have been otherwise in this affluent school.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is a reverse harem, which is an interesting idea that hadn't been thought of before.
 * 2) The voice acting in English is good.
 * 3) There are a lot of funny moments in the show
 * 4) The characters are very memorable, like Haruhi (the newcomer to the club), Hikaru and Kaoru (the twins), etc.
 * 5) The animation is very beautiful.
 * 6) A cool variety of plots.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It can get mean-spirited quite often, especially since Haruhi is constantly picked on for being a "commoner".
