Ouran Highschool Host Club Live Action

[Miss Ruhnke]

Episode3 reveals to us all that the Host Club is populated by not just the unfairly beautiful and the obscenely rich, they are also potential rocket scientists. Oh Japan, thank you for not even pretending to be creating realistic people. But Ouran makes these complete caricatures all feel alive and unique through a combination of tongue-in-cheek (they are in on the joke as well) and genuine mirth (silliness can be adroitly funny). Haruhi continues to be awesome, Kyoya continues to turn me into a gibbering fangirl, and Tamaki continues to be the butt of 99.9% of all jokes. And finally, beaten up glassy-eyed Kuma-chan is the new pig-rabbit for me.

Haruhi flinches and mutters that it actually makes the mood even more depressing. Tamaki prances back to formation and reveals that this season also means the Host Club Summer Party will soon be here.

He turns towards Haruhi and offers her the teddy bear he values more than life itself, Kuma-chan, to be her good luck guardian. He tries to shove it into her arms but she says no thank you. When he persists, she emphatically says NO and that sends Tamaki tumbling backwards. Poor Tamaki says that Haruhi is being so mean to him right now.

Haruhi says that until the next exam, she has to take time off to study. Tamaki says yes, she has to get her studying in as soon as possible so she can have time to learn ballroom dancing. The boys whip out their glasses, minus Kyoya who already wears glasses, and asks Haruhi which teacher amongst them she would like to select to tutor her.

Kyoya explains for our benefit that Ayama is one of the top students at Ouran and is from a wealthy family. Tamaki sits on the ledge and is a depressing eye sore for the other guys with his downer stance. Tamaki hops down and says he has more important things to worry about. His Kuma-chan got kidnapped!

Ayame explains that two years ago, Tamaki transferred to their middle school. She met him and he was very charming to her. He complimented her beautiful straight long hair, saying that her inner beauty must be a reflection of her beautiful hair. Ayame was totally entranced by this prince-like boy at that moment.

She thought perhaps he spent all day studying to do so well, but it turned out he did no such thing, but instead formed a host club to pass the time. A man a frivolous as Tamaki, she will never concede his accomplishments. From that moment on, Tamaki entered as number 1 on her most hated list. Haruhi wonders if what she said was true, since Ayame appears to spend so much time studying Tamaki, and remembers his words to her. Ayame tries to demur that she remembered what he said because it was so cheesy. The lady doth protest too much.

The incoming breeze makes her hair wavy and the twins remark that Ayame is has naturally curly hair. Ayame freaks out and pushes them away. She screeches that because of her naturally curly hair, she hates rainy days. She blames Tamaki for mistaking her hair for straight hair which now forces her to go to the beauty salon everyday to get her hair straightened. She wishes he would stop screwing with her emotionally. Tamaki stands there and listens to this.

Ayame rushes out and drops her pencil box. Out tumbles the Kuma-chan pencil. Ayame opens her locker to reveal the poor kidnapped hostage Kuma-chan. She picks up Kuma-chan and screams at him, tossing him against the wall saying she hates him. She pounds on Kuma-chan, wondering why she wants to treasure it. She mutters that Tamaki will surely not remember what he said to her, since he says the same things to all the girls.

Haruhi walks up to Ayame to kiss her on the cheek, but as she leans in, Tamaki rushes forward to prevent it. But he trips instead and pushes Haruhi directly into Ayame, and the two girls kiss. Everyone gasps.

In the world of shojo, there are some series that stands above the reset, and Ouran High School Host Club ranks up there. The rom-com is one of the best in its genre to come from anime, and much of its success is due to Haruhi Fujioka. Now, the club itself is coming into focus as Ouran High School Host Club is getting a live-action makeover, and the club's stars have been found.

The update comes from the team overseeing Ouran High School Host Club's new stage adaptation. The franchise is returning to live theater in Japan, and director Chobi Natsuki has found several of the show's leads.

According to the team, Junya Komatsu will play Tamaki Suoh as the host club's de facto leader. He will be joined by Masamichi Satonaka as Kyoka Ootori. As for the Hitachiin twins, Yuu Futaba will play Hikaru and Kaname Futaba will play Kaoru. Finally, Eito Konishi will play Mitsukuni Haninozuka while Sho Kato oversees Takashi Morinozuka.

A key visual has been released for the play, and it shows these Starrs all dressed up according to their role. From Tamaki to Kyoka and more, these actors look stunning in character, and Ouran High School Host Club fans are geeking out for the upcoming show.

According to the show's team, Ouran will return to the stage starting in 2022. This means the show will have to find itself an actress to play Haruhi, but fans have faith in what the creatives can do. So if you want to check out this show in person, Ouran High School Host Club will be out starting this coming January.

Regardless of the time that's passed since an anime series has ended, sometimes its lasting popularity and supportive fanbase are enough to ignite a continuation. It can come in the form of a sequel series, a remake or in this case, a live-action adaptation. Even though the charming reverse-harem comedy anime Ouran High School Host Club ended in 2006, the series did so well that it received a live-action TV adaptation in 2011. This version even led to a film the next year, picking up where the TV series left off.

Fans of the original series may want to give the live-action series a try to to see how the Host Club's hijinks play out beyond the confines of the anime and manga, even if it isn't quite the same. Like any adaptation, there are similarities and differences that make for a different viewing experience. Whether someone's checking out Ouran for the very first time or is already a long-time fan of the series, here's what they can expect to stand out between the anime and its live-action counterpart.

Ouran High School Host Club's live-action adaptation ran for 11 episodes compared to the anime's 26-episode run, truncating the story that fans of the anime are familiar with. The TV drama adapts what are essentially the first 11 episodes of the anime. The live-action episodes aren't exact frame-by-frame recreations of the anime, especially when considering certain side characters are featured more heavily, but the plot overall is retained with little deviation. The story is still about Haruhi joining the Host Club to pay off her debt for the vase she accidentally broke, and each episode recreates the kooky antics of the club, its customers, and the relationships between Haruhi and the boys.

Outside of the shorter story length, the most obvious differences in the live-action Ouran are visual. The defining hair colors for the twins, Tamaki and Honey are far less exaggerated than in the anime. The signature powder blue Ouran High uniforms are also a much more realistic navy in the TV drama. With the anime being as comedic and camp as it is, the TV drama does make attempts to carry over visual gags, but like anything crafted through animation they may appear a bit awkward in a realistic setting.

Another rather large difference in the live-action Ouran is how much of a presence the character Nekozawa has compared to the anime. While the vampire-like president of the Black Magic Club appears in only five episodes of the anime, he shows up in every episode of the TV drama.

Nekozawa's somewhat menacing dark attire throughout the series is attributed to his photophobia. In the anime and manga this includes a black wig covering his blonde hair, whereas the live-action series opts for a simple black hairstyle and no wig at all. In the TV drama, it's almost as if he's an honorary member of the Host Club given how involved he is with everything going on.

What the live-action series chooses to add doesn't do much to deter from the essence of what Ouran High School Host Club is, which existing fans can surely appreciate. However, what it lacks may be where it falls short for anyone who's seen the anime or even read the manga. With the live-action adaptation retelling so little of the overall story, there's less of a chance to really delve into each character and how their relationships with one another develop.

Even though a shorter series may seem like the easier starting point for some fans in terms of the time commitment, the anime would still be the best place for newcomers to begin. It's only just over double the length of episodes, but as such, the anime develops a lot more character depth that will provide a much clearer understanding of all the relationships and everyone's personalities. Either the anime or the TV adaptation are good for anyone who's looking to watch a reverse-harem series, especially one that manages to satirize the genre's tropes effectively across both visual mediums.

The franchise's dedicated fanbase continues to this day, with a new musical stage-play getting its debut in Japan in January 2022. However a fan chooses to enjoy Ouran High School Host Club, they've got a variety of options to choose from that are just as cute and comical as the next.
