Ouran High School Host Club

Certainly hasn't failed to pull laughs yet. All the characters are funny in their own way, maybe except for the worryingly incestuous and (what is it again...mmmmmmmm....like yori...you have yuri and then you have...ah yaoi!) yaoi relationship of the two Hitachiin twins. I'm especially liking Fujioka Haruhi for his (or her) rather broad wisdom on the ridiculous lifestyle of the richest of the rich.

And maybe this anime could be considered a distant relative of the spontaneous sex change genre? I'm referring mainly to Ranma 1/2 which offered up more possibilities with the introduction of the boy/girl mechanism. And with Ouran, it could be quite interesting. Probably more witty and elegantly executed than a boy simply turning into a girl just like that - like the anime where a boy is rejected after a confession and randomly turns into a girl overnight. Hmm. Anyway, screenshots.

Getting stabbed in the heart by orange arrows is a regular occurrence by the lookies

Randomly amusing

Funnily enough all the stabs and put downs can be sourced from none other than Fujioka. Strangely satisfying.
