I have finally had a chance to check out the first episode of a liveaction take on one of my all-time favorite mangas, Ouran High School Host Club and I am in love in love in love in love in love.

This is my fav anime too! I saw actor who plays Tamaki in a few dramas before Ouran so I don't really like him when Ouran production revealed him as Tamaki. But after first episode, I actually like his over acting in this drama,haha. Haruhi is so cute with short hair and I'm okay with all of the hosts except for Hunny. It's kind of weird for me because I don't think he's cute. Too bad this drama has really low rating.

Since I watched this drama a few years ago, did Tamaki really know her true identity as a girl after looking at her identity card?

I adore this drama so far :)

I don't mind Hunny, simply because I don't think it's humanly possible to get the proper Hunny unless they cast a 10yr-old and that would be kind of iffy.

The one who looks a little off to me is Kyouya (I just always pictured him sharper-looking) but not enough to bother me.

Re: Tamaki. I think so (though in the anime it was a different way, I think) but tbh, I read that part of the manga so long ago, I honestly cannot remember. Time to reread :)

That mv is one of the shippiest anime clips I've ever seen. Liking ep 1 has surprised me who wasn't so sure the anime could translate well into live action but it was so hilarious I thought I was watching the anime. Are you planning to keep watching?

[dangermousie]

LOL, especially since Ouran is not all-ship-all-the-time or anything near it.

Oh heck yeah. I plan to watch it as soon as I can get my grubby hands on it, I don't even need subs.

I saw the first episode! I wasn't too crazy about it, but that's no fault of the drama -- I just think it'd be difficult to translate the anime antics into live-action in a way that I would buy. Also, none of the hosts were as attractive as I thought they should be. :( But I think I'll continue watching to the end, though, because it promises to be good fun! :)

For some reason, wacky only works for me when it is really tongue-in-cheek and ott as it is here and KO 3an Guo.

I am pretty used to manga and liveaction people look pretty different so I don't even notice.

I am so excited for this drama! They got the looks of the characters right and I'm glad the setting of the school is gorgeous. I was worried they would use the same place used in Hana Yori Dango and countless other dramas.

Seriously, it's awesome!

Nooo!!!!! Mousie - you are now on my bad list!!! Did you know the manga still has 2 volumes to go here in the US?! So only illegal beagles reading the scanlations know the ending!! (since the anime only covered half the manga) And I doubt this drama will go farther than the anime hence I'm risking watching it. And I've been biting my nails waiting for the last 2 volumes (Dec 2011 & probably June 2012) as right now the story is sunk in the darkest despair & I just don't see how they'll end up together. Thoughts on 1st episode shouldn't include massive huge spoilers about the end! Waaah!!! :(

OMG, I am so sorry! I swear, I tried to put in a cut, but with LJ insanity and posting from m. site through mail it must have gotten screwed up somehow and I can't edit because I get 503 error. Sorrrrrrrrrrry!!

At least I know it's a good ending and I can stop chomping my nails dying for the next volume. :) I know you'd never intentionally spoil anyone - you're such a stickler yourself.
