I'm Not Dead Yet

As the title states I'm not dead yet. But, I've been in a rut made of boredom and laziness. Lately, all I've been doing is sleeping and working. And it doesn't help that the work I do is boring. I basically just check and make sure my client is still breathing or help him if he needs to go to the restroom. And unless there is any cleaning that needs to be done that's about all I do. The rest of the night I just sit there like a bump on a log either reading or watching tv.
Well, enough of my bitching. Here's the review that I promised to write up:

Ouran High School Host Club:

What ANN Says:

Haruhi is a poor tomboyish student at a school for the ultra-wealthy, able to attend because of a scholarship, and unable to even afford a uniform. One day, she stumbles across the decidedly peculiar but very popular Ouran Host Club. She tries to leave, but accidentally breaks a vase, and unable to pay for it, she's told that she'll have to stay and do odd jobs. That is, until they decide she would be more valuable as a club member. Not realizing she's female due to her appearance, they fix her up and give her a male uniform. She's an instant hit, so they decide to have her keep up the charade even after they find out the truth...

What Emerald Says:

I read the first volume of Ouran Host Club about a month or so before the anime aired and knew that I had to watch the anime. The plot sounds a bit generic and cliche (poor girl surrounded by cute guys, stuff happens and blah, blah, blah). But I think that the writers/directors made a smart decision when they focused more on the comedy aspect (who knew banana jokes could be that funny). That and the animation is great. I liked the OP and ED themes. And I really liked the characters. The ending was also good but I'm hoping for a second season.

My Rate:

10/10- It's a great anime. Check it out if you like comedic shoujo titles. But be aware that it does not follow the manga. So if you are a fan of the manga you may not like this.
