Just watched episode 1....so funny...when is this anime aired on?

It airs Wednesdays at 12:50 AM (Japan time). You can convert that time to your local time zone via this site: TimeandDate.com. For example: this show airs Tuesday at 11:50 AM for me (EST).

Ooooooo thanks. Though I found out that the english subs are aired on Wednesdays on f--sub.tv...(if you want to to know the whole URL of fan---.tv please pm me)

Do we know how many episodes it will run for? The thread in the general section doesn't say.

That number is currently unknown.

It's still ongoing, though IMO 13-20 episodes will be optimum. Too long and the jokes will get repeatitive which is not good...

Shoboi Calendar has 13.

On the other hand, there are apparently going to be nine DVDs released, and the first DVD has two episodes, so that would point toward about 26 episodes (assuming that there will be DVDs with 3 episodes, which seems more likely than DVDs with just one episode).

Ouran just comes across as a 13 episode series to me - of course i'd love it to be 24/26 episodes long.

Seems as though the first episode is going to have two episodes, i'm seeing more along the lines of a 12 episode series.

I seriously can't see Ouran as a 13 episode series. It gives off a Furuba vibe for me, except crazier and less serious, so anything less than 26 episodes seems odd.

Anyway... here's an official confirmation of how long the series will be. It's from NTV's English website.

Looks like it will be 26 episodes after all. =D

Excellent! Nice find. Thanks. :)

Uhmm....is Ouran Host club shonnen ai?

I dun really know anymore...and...I want to know before I watch it.

It has lots of buttsecks and grunting.

No not really really.

It's a harem anime.

xD...very funny

eh...um..whats harem? My vocab doesn't have that word *feels dumb*

Just watch the entire first episode, you don't have anything to worry about, but I don't want to spoil anything. ;)

OOohhhh i get it now. Thanks for answering my question...:)

what does 'Moe' mean? The Otaku girl kept saying it O_o?

Well, it is generally accepted that it is impossible to explain the meaning of moe in English words, but perhaps you might get it if you read the five posts starting here:

http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...337#post381337

According to kj1980 those posts make a great description of moe (as well as a really good 4-koma manga).

Wait, what channel does Host Club air on??

Hopefully this doesn't sound odd (I'm serious), but are the reactions of the girls toward members of the host club legitimately caused? Of course they're exaggerated, but are these things girls in the real world would really generally find moe? If those girls didn't pick up on the hosts' goofiness and/or reject them offhand, of course (most real girls would, I'd... hope).

I'm just genuinely curious, I always think popular culture is more in touch with women's psychology than I am and so am interested to observe these things.

Edit: In response to spyder101v2, I just checked anidb and it says Nippon Television Network is related to it--not sure if that helps.

thank you dude : )

Hmm, I've got a question I've been wondering for a while. The guys of the Host Club fit their architypes well...all except for one, how does Morinozuka Takashi (Mori-senpai) fit into the "wild" archetype?

If you see the number of yaoi fangirls that are around these days, I think that plenty of girls would go all "moe" for the twins and Honey+Mori...and Tamaki is gorgeous. I'd swoon for him!

As far as Mori, he's not the wild type like "wild and crazy guy"...more like a wild animal in touch with his natural instincts, like when he could sense where Honey was when he got lost in episode 7. At least that's what I think.:p

I think they're referring to the way he's a kind of a loner (always silent in the background). He has short messy hair and wears his uniform blazer unbuttoned + shirt untucked, so his appearance is also sort of "wild" :heh: But I think the main appeal is that he's like a "wild wolf" loner who can't be tamed or something? The type who will pat you on the head and treat you like a little sister instead of a girlfriend...

Not sure if this belongs here but where can i download the episodes? please and its safe right?

u can get the shows here

i might have missed it but is a new fansubbing group taking over this project? i checked out lunars website and it didnt list ouran host club as an active project

I was wondering why there hadn't been subs for so long. I was beginning to panic thinking that they liscensed Ouran or something.

I understand that subbing takes alot of effort and time so I'm not gonna hassle our wonderful sub groups about that. However, I'd like to find out the reason for the delays.

Rumor has it that the delays are because a Lunar staff member is temporarily absent (busy with school or moving or something). I hope that's the case, because it would be a shame if the dropped it after doing such a wonderful job for 17 episodes. I'll patiently wait for them to return, because while I appreciate the other fansub group's efforts, their translations are miles off and are in serious need of editing. It takes away from the true "Ouran experience". :P

Can anyone verify if this Lunar rumor is true or not?

It says on Lunar's forum

Oh, so the rumors are true after all. Thanks for pointing out the source. :) I wish them luck in their move, then.

Ray's done his move and has already translated episodes 18 - 20, so I guess those three are in the later processes as of now... with some luck, we should see them out by the end of this week. Maybe Lunar is planning a triple release? :D

Anyway, as for where I got this information, this is what he wrote last Friday in the Ouran FAQ thread:

~ Noodlehead

did lunar stop subbing ouran? are FRoP subs good and reliable?

read the previous 6 posts above yours,

That's good to hear. :D Yay, I can finally get my weekly ouran fix again~

The answer to both is "no" :heh:

C'mon now, the FrOP subs arent BAD. They're not brilliant, but then at times, neither are Lunar's. FrOP is probably a much smaller group aimed at getting the releases out as quickly and accessibly as possible. Lunar has more members to check and edit the subs before encoding.

Dont knock them unless you can do a better job.

just wondering- will there be a OHHC season 2?

i just can't get over the fact that its ending so soon

so how many episodes are there in the series?

The series is 26 episodes long. I wish there was more I can't get enough of Mori-kun.

I know that this is really out there but I was arguing with my friend and I need an answer... Is Bisco Hatori (the author of the manga) a male or female??
