Review on the Actual Product, Not the Series ItselfBy honest_abe
I just got this item today and have looked through some of the extras and I must say they are pretty entertaining. They have the "outtakes" section, which is basically a blooper reel from all the episodes, and while it doesn't show the actual voice actors, it does show the the scenes with the dialogue of the voice actors messing up or doing some improv. Some of the other extras include audio commentary on certain episodes and the textless songs. There's a preview for the manga provided by Viz and it shows some shots from one of the volumes that's big enough to read but don't expect it to be the complete volume. The episodes themselves are pretty good quality and you can choose from having English or Japanese audio and subtitles.
The packaging is pretty nice, too much pink for my taste, but still nice and it has some quotes and pictures throughout. There isn't a booklet but after the case is taken out of the sleeve it folds out to show an episode guide on the left side and what to find on each disc.

I didn't expect It would be THIS coolBy Colby Fairbourn
I won't go into too much detail, because part of the fun of this anime series is just hanging on for the ride, not knowing alot going into it.
But basically the story is about a girl who enters a very nice, prestigious high school where rich kids are numerous and poor people are thought of as fairytale material. She meets the highschool's Host Club, which is basically a group of young men who entertain the school's young ladies. Keep in mind they're all rich, and somewhat arrogant, so they kind of just sit around and talk about rich kid stuff.
The Host Club thinks she's a guy, she accidently breaks an expensive vase and instantly earns herself a very large debt, and the only way to pay it off is to join the Host Club.
This is just the beginning. Like I said I don't want to go into too much detail because Ouran High School Host Club is the type of anime that is best enjoyed when not too much is known about it going in.
I was mainly interested in the series because I thought they were all guys (she looks like a guy when she works as a "Host Boy") and I thought it would be fun and romantic (and gay) to watch.
It is fun, and romantic too. But Its not what I expected. However, I never thought it would be THIS good! I am really enjoying the series (almost finished with it) and I like how each episode brings enough humor and character movement to keep you interested. And speaking of the humor, I find myself laughing out-loud alot. This type of comedy is just the thing I have been looking for. And there's just enough gay humor too!
The animation is really cool. Very detailed, and cartoonish (if only to add to the comedic effect). The music is nice, but nothing worth freaking out over.
But if there's one thing that makes this series shine, its the characters/story. Its charming, witty, hilarious, with hints of mild sexual comedy and social stuff (rich people, poor people), but it never takes itself too seriously. The show knows what it is and what it wants, and as a result we the viewers are presented with a well thought out anime series with high replay value.
I'm really glad I got into this series because its now one of my favorites. Its easy to fall in love with the Host Club boys, and they're all compelling and quirky enough that they move the episodic situations along with ease and before you know it you've been watching for hours.
When an anime series accomplishes this, its well worth your time in my opinion.
