Oh where, oh where can Lunar's fansub of Ouran High School Host Club episode 18 be?
*slumps* And it's an episode I really wanted to watch too... Honey-senpai vs. his little brother Yasuchika! I'm a bit irked that they apparently cut out Mori-senpai's little brother Satoshi (and the littler "Morinozuka" to the littler "Haninozuka"). I think it's just utterly adorable that even though the two pairs of siblings consist of completely opposing personalities, there's always a Mori~ to keep an eye out for a Hani~.
Honey-senpai's lolishota complex is perfectly balanced out by Mori-senpai's taciturn personality, but the other Host Club character I really enjoy watching is Tamaki, the Host Club King himself. He's such a curious mix of idiocy, sensitivity, charm, childishness, generosity and plain, unbridled, duh-ness. It's interesting how the anime seems to be holding back on Tamaki's background for now, with only teasers to tell us about his heritage and his family background (which is very complicated). Hopefully the remaining episodes of Ouran will give us more Adorable!Tamaki.
A bit OT, but if I had to rank the original Host Club members:
- Suoh Tamaki -- the undisputed king. (See above.)
- Morinozuka Takashi -- I've always been a sucker for the tall, silent types.
- Ootori Kyouya -- the financial genius behind the Host Club
- Hitachiin Kaoru -- the more mature of the twins
- Haninozuka Mitsukuni -- oh come on, how can you resist the little guy?
- Hitachiin Hikaru -- cheeky bastard
