from today, you are a host.....

Ouran Host Club episode 1! For those who haven't run across the manga, you aren't missing all that much. As for the anime....
+ The characters are from Fruits Basket
+ The Weasley twins are in it
+ Fruits Basket's animation style...with a little Utena
+ Bones
+ Takes place in Utena's setting
- Haruhi is a girl
+ Haruhi's personality is like Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou
+ Maaya Sakamoto does Haruhi's voice...which sounds awesome
- The Opening Theme: "Sakura kiss" by Chieko Kawabe & Ending Theme: "Shissou" by LAST ALLIANCE are totally forgettable
+ It's pretty darn gay
- and unoriginal
+ BUT funny and excellent in its production

--quick summary, normal girl gets accepted into elite school, gets mistaken for a boy, breaks a vase and owes the 'host club'...thus becoming a male host.

Had no intrest in anything to do with this manga before, but with your discription, you have sold me, and I'm downloading it now. :P

enjoy. i wasn't going to watch it either since it didn't sound very unique, but it is very well crafted. let's hope it doesn't deteriorate in episode 2.

it's not subbed yet, is it?

there's a couple fansubbers who have host club on their project lists, but they aren't as fast as the naruto and bleach fanboyz.
