thanks for the picture I love Haruhi Yazuka Style lol

[hi no ken Jebus]

:heh:Crazy episode, poor tamaki doesn't even know he's in love:heh:. I was half expecting kaoru to kill him at one point. At least kasanoda got a happy ending and haruhi's secret is still intact. Yakuza haruhi:love::heh: Next time what I've been waiting for the how the hell kyoya met tamaki episode:heh:.

Episode 23 Screencaps (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2006/09/09/ouran-high-school-host-club-23/)

That was hilarious - the funniest episode since the Zuka Club one. It was all in seeing everyone's reactions, especially Tamaki's. All the BL jokes were pretty funny too.

[White Manju Bun]

I jsut watched it raw since i couldnt wait to see what happened!! I loved it!!1 I felt so bad for Tamaki and man Kaoru was getting really mad at him. I kinda wish he would have smacked him!!

Episode 23 screencaps and summary (http://www.designchronicle.com/memento/archives/ouran_hostclub_ep23.html)

I'm surprised to see how funny this one turns out to be. Ah, Tamaki can be such a goof sometimes. I can't believe he never realised that he's in love with Haruhi all of these times. The funniest part of the episodes, however, is the fangirls' reaction to Kasanoda/Haruhi pairing.

OK　i　will　pay attention

[wao]

LMFAO! Even Kasanoda's ice-cold stare doesn't work against the burning spirit of yaoi fangirls, eh? This is downright hilarious.

EDIT: After watching the ep I must say it was very well done. The jokes were great but at the same time there are some serious undertones going on under the surface, for Tamaki... the only blur king who's still out of the loop as to his own feelings. But I really find it very interesting - and Kaoru's reaction as well..

[horsdhaleine]

haha! this episode is golden!

esp when the young yakuza master went:
"suki, daisuki" while pulling the petals off the flower!

and nice inner mind theatre for him = winking half nekkid haruhi!

tamaki looked like an avocado when he deflated... stupid guy! kept on insisting that he's haruhi's father...

[SinsI]

Enjoyed this one.
"Haruhi Ane-san" looks great, too bad its just that one shot. I want a full ep. of her!
Kaoru, Hikaru - stop using third parties! Do it yourself!
Tamaki - I thought better of him, looses all the way and proves himself a total idiot. Made me pity Haruhi if she does ends up with him.
Renge and fangirls - good, very good.

esp when the young yakuza master went:
"suki, daisuki" while pulling the petals off the flower!
That was a nice change from the manga
Originally petals were for "Boy, Girl".

[katakami]

Lol! I love the kuma-chan tatoo on Haruhi Ane-san's back shoulder. XD

Yay! Kyouya episode next as I predicted. ^_^

[Aiya Kasai]

What the hell is up with Tamaki? I know he has a serious side...I mean there was one in the manga. Why is the anime making him look like such a moron?

Tamaki~, what is wrong with you? Don't betray me you fool!

[Archmagination2002]

Its been a long time since I laughed so hard watching an episode. A lot of the time anime's comedy gets tiresome because it uses the same old humor. This episode actually breaks that mold(in fact the whole Host Club anime/manga continually breaks that mold) Just have to love this series.. I doubt the anime will ever have a proper end though which is sad.

[Ambulator]

Not as good as the last two, but still quite enjoyable. This episode veered a little away from comedy and towards stupidity.

[DrewGSR]

Oh man, this episode was hilarious, had me cracking up so much. The yakuza Haruhi was funny as hell. Renge and all the other girls all watching Haruhi and Casanoda was great, all loving the MOE!! LOL. Heh Haruhi unknowningly denies Casanoba and to be friends and then everyone watching all felt sorry for Casanoba was friken funny as hell.

[DragoonKain3]

What really intrigues me is that Honey hinted that either Kyouya or Kaoru might also be unconsciously in love with Haruhi. This is mainly because neither in what I remember of the show so far has shown any interest in Haruhi, so I wonder if I might have missed anything. It would be really interesting if it was Kyo though, as it would show another side to him other than being a penny pincher.

[rooboy]

Ouch, my sides are hurting b/c my wife and I were laughing so hard. I think this might have been the funniest episode of the series. From Renge and the other BL-fangirls to Haruhi's crushing unconscious-rejection to the end where Honey and Mori are trying to figure out the love square-pentagon-whatever while everyone else is under the table trying to figure out who Haruhi "belongs" to.

[i0td]

I agree, this episode was very entertaining. Renge and the girls and their intense flames of moe. Kasanoda's situation with Haruhi. And as always, the many expressions of Tamaki. (My favorite was when his head petrified and collapsed on itself.) Such a dynamic character, but sigh... lacking in the one feeling that will make him complete, love. I continue to cheer him on though. Let's go, Tamaki!

[Sorrow-K]

Was that some foreshadowing I detected at the very end of the episode? I'm not sure what the chances are of anything developing before series' end, given that Tamaki doesn't even realize he likes Haruhi, but if the past couple of eps are any indication, this series could be ending on a strong note.

I've been impressed by the last two eps. Rather than running out of steam as I predicted, this series is actually getting stronger of recent eps. It's a credit to this show that I can still laugh at it after so many eps. It did lull a tad around the middle, but I've been impressed that it's managed to pick itself up again as a comedy and still remain consistantly funny. This ep again was hilarious... some of the moments just had me in stitches (particularly Kasanoda's edited memories).

I'm slowly changing my mind about Ouran. For a while I thought it was good without being great, but given how strong these last few eps are, if it ends with a good final few eps, it'd be reason for me to consider it among the great anime comedies.

[Wandering_Youth]

This episode was great. All the girls in the club were on fire and fantazing like hell about Haruhi and Kasanoda. Damn, Haruhi! She doesn't notice that Kasanoda is heads over heels for her, but that's what makes it all hilarious. I do feel bad for Kasanado now because he was totally shot down. Poor guy...dang Haruhi. :heh:

One last thing, Haruhi looks pretty...erotic as a Yakuza woman. :)

[Deathkillz]

omg!!!! tamaki's inner imagination at the start was funny as hell XD i feel sorry for da man :o
kyoya using his family's power to surpress and threaten Kasanoda...the rich bastard lol!
the misunderstanding about Kasanoda being gay was soo expected but done is such a good way its really amazing...even now im still laughing at "the flames of moe" crack :D its like a whole rave of girls enjoying the gay show and that kyoya is trying to hit a new record of ppl comming...hes such a "money whore" :D
robo tamaki, over dramatictizing tamaki...this ep has everything...
the ending showed a big spoiler by honey...i wonder how true it is? :rolleyes:
overall...one of the best eps of the series and i think most ppl here agree...
PS....THX FOR THE MOE!!! :D

[Sinestra]

This has to bee one of the funniest episods i have ever seen. Cassnova gu freaking out and the girls going bonkers over the Uber Moe that was going on. I really thought that Tamaki was going to finally understand his feeling towards Haruhi but No hes just as much of an idiot as usual. Seems like everyone with the exception of Mori and Honey have a crush on Haruhi.

By the way my heart goes out to Cassanova-Kun to be rejected before even confessing thats freaking tough and to be called a friend twice DAMN

[rpgman1]

That episode was pretty hilarious. His freezing stare failed against the girls flaming moe and Kasanoda gets treated like a friend. Reminds me of Arai-kun getting the same treatment. Is Haruhi really that dense when someone's in love with her? As for Tamaki, he doesn't seem to realize that he's in love with Haruhi.

[Jinsoo]

Doesn't what Hunny said at the end of the episode make you kinda sad? D:

[White Manju Bun]

Doesn't what Hunny said at the end of the episode make you kinda sad? D:

Yeah I thought so, it made me sad but its interesting to see that alot of the characters see that Tamaki likes Haruhi (well Honey and Im sure Mori and I bet Kyou does too, obv the twins know)

I just hope they dont plan on wrapping it all up in the last 2 epis since Honey did mention graduation...

[hakasan]

Nah, dun think they can wrap it up in 2 episodes. Even in final episode, it will be an open end thing, by the end of the day, this isn't ur typical boy meets girl romance anime. We will be lucky enough to even be able to see Haruhi showing ANY signs of interest towards any of the boys. Bless her, but she is so wooden when it comes to matters of the heart. Poor Casanova kun!

[Theowne]

Hmmm....I'm finished my 23-episode Ouran marathon. Geez, I love this series. Though I never tried it until now because the description didn't seem like something I'd like. Never make decisions based on the summaries (coincidentally almost all my favourite animes were ones that I put off watching because the summaries didn't "grab" me)

BTW this arc was hilarious. Highlights for me included how Tamaki kept calling him "Boss-Nova-kun" as he tried to correct him (it's a joke used in various forms endlessly in all media), but it's still hilarious", and the bit from this episode with the "edited memory".

Though Tamaki's been out of the spotlight for a while, just playing comic relief (well, it is a comedy).....I kinda hope they'll do something in the final eps like how they developed the twins.

P.S. The way Haruhi (or rather her seiyuu) says "huh?" in those incredulous moments is so great.......
