"Last Alliance - Shissou" is what the ED is called. I don't know when the single will be released though, which is rather sad because I really like that song. I just can't find any info on that (or the CD on yesasia).
Infos appreciated =)

I really enjoy that anime. It's just too funny xD
I just ordered Volume 1+2 of the manga in german =)

IIRC, a piano version of the OP theme played toward the end of episode 1. So if it's the same piece...

I loved the references in episode 4 to Tokimeki memorial girl's side ( what a wonderful game for girls. I can understand Renge's obsesion a little bit ). In Tokimeki there's also a shota, a sport guy, a Kyouya I mean... an intelectual character, and of course a glourious prince... Kei who hates being called ojisama and is very isolated from everyone ( Tamaki played the role pretty well in my humble opinion ).

Two nice details were the love for the flowers of the fake Kyouya ( in Tokimeki GS the intelectual character loves flowers too) and his picture with a cat ( the main character Kei has many romantic scenes related with cats in the game, you know, he is so kind and sweet and all ).

About the adaptation I'm a bit... umm... worried. Is great and very fun this comedy style but... 56 episodes like this? (if every chapter and extra of the manga is an episode of the anime more than that). Not really my cup of tea . I can imagine the last episode with the classic ending " and they were all friends and live happyly for ever after because she learned their true personalities" and I know some people would be happy with it ( because they love Host Club like a parody and while its funny till the end they don't mind if it has an open ending) but other people like me would be greatly dissapointed ( because we love Host Club like a romantic comedy like Tamaky said and this is a shojo... or not? ).

Don't you think it would be very mean to make all this romantic scenes between Haruhi and Tamaki in almost every episode ( with Haruhi staring at him like this) only to fool us?? .

I point you to my music releases date list. Specifically, The Ouran High School Host Club ED is on LAST ALLIANCE’s upcoming single DAZE&HOPE.

Yeah that would annoy me alot.

[physics223]

I don't like comedies like these to end up open-ended. I hope they end up together, Tamaki and Haruhi, that is.

[Boukenxha]

Well if we go by Tamaki's logic, he and Haruhi are the main characters of this love comedy anime. So is it safe to assume the main character always gets the girl?

[physics223]

And the others are only homo side characters ... xD

Episode 5.

The cafeteria scene was brilliant! I was in stitches.

The rest of the episode was a bit dry, particularly the first half. I'd probably say this has been among the less funny episodes in this series, but considering how hilarious the vast majority of this series has been so far, that's not a really bad thing. I did find the final scene interesting, given the reaction from Hikaru and Kaoru when Haruhi correctly pick them. It makes me think that the series is going to start moving to be more character-focused and less comedy-focused... which is a move I applaud, because, as I've been saying all along, there's only so long a series can be as consistantly funny as this one, backhanding the shoujo genre.

[tritoch]

Awesome Ep!

I was laughing my butt off!

The flashlight scene was the best! Haruhi is really pretty too. I wanna see her in girl's clothing with the short hair.

[physics223]

Was it the OP or the ED? I was always thinking it to be the piano version of the ED.

I mean the one that starts at 21.45 and ends at 22.00.

[Shadowscar]

episode 5 kinda scared me lol and is it just me or does it seem like all the everybody but the twins and the vice prez are getting dumber as time goes on lol

made this while bored didnt turn out right in my mind but if anybody wants they can have

[Noodlehead]

AHAHAHAHA

That episode was so @#%&ing funny...

Spoiler:

Especially the cafeteria scene. When Kaoru and Hikaru were throwing stuff around randomly and going, "Poi poi poi poi poi poi poi poi". The floating Mori and Honey with Tamaki flying over the table was so hilarious!! "Uoohh...... Ahhh..." XD They sounded so funny.

I also hope we get to see more of Nekozawa. "EYAHHHH!! MURDERERS!!" Tamaki was crazier than usual this episode. Heh heh. I think the overexaggerated antics of all the characters is what I like so much about Ouran. Although Mori seems to be inhumanly calm sometimes. Haruhi seems to be the only sane person at the moment.

Gah... the twins are so evil..! But I guess their plotting ways is what makes them so funny.

Anyway, the more serious note at the end of the episode (how Hikaru and Kaoru noticed that an "outsider" has come into their world) makes me wonder where the show's heading. Is it going to ultimately focus more on the characters' development than the wacky comedy? I hope they manage to involve some sort of ongoing plot into the series so the show and end somewhat conclusively. I'm usually one for open endings, though, so I wouldn't mind if the series ended that way.

Next week's episode looks interesting. An Arabian theme for the Host Club this time?

Well, I think episode 5 was almost as funny as the previous one which is quite a good achievement.

Spoiler:

I think the funniest moment was when Tamaki was telling the story about his "curse" and Kyouya gave him a rational explanation which of course Tamaki rejected.
The twins got more interesting and I was a bit disappointed that the whole fight was just a plot to deceive Haruhi. Since I have a twin brother and I have had fights with him for some very stupid reasons (although with less dramatic results for everyone around ) I could totally understand the whole "I don't want to be like him" and "I don't want to eat what he eats" affair.

[mangafanatic]

After watching four and five, I have to say that the highlights were:

1) The filming of the video was FANTASTIC! I was practically crying at how brilliantly funny it was. The letter box effect, the allusions to typical shoujo cliches-- It was all just too incredible. I got to give props to Honey-kun's seiyuu. He did a great job in that scene.

However, I'm not excited about

Spoiler:

Renge's crush on Haruhi. It make things just too. . . complicated. I'm hoping for a Hana Kimi style revealing of Haruhi's gender to Renge, then they can just be friends and she can aid her in her more feminine moments. Besides, we already have enough homo side characters by Tamaki's estimation. XD

2. Concerning episode 5, did the twin's

Spoiler:

object throwing fights remind anyone of the Honey and Clover "battle of accomplishments" between Morita and Hagu? I thought this episode was very. . . interesting. It was a nice twist at the end with the twins only fighting to make Haruhi invite them to her house-- or was that why they did it? I'm honestly starting to wonder that they might like her. Or atleast one of them might. I hope so. I would like to know for a fact that they're perfectly straight. . . . Their act really weirds me out.

Wasn't it funny how everytime the twins started throwing things Honey-kun would get thrown too? Gosh, it's little stuff like that that makes this show so fantastic.

[physics223]

I personally think they both like her, but as friends. Tamaki or Kyouya I think are the guys that can dare to go beyond friendships. And with the more serious tone I would like to believe we're getting closer to a more serious romance comedy.

I personally would like some sad moments culminated by a happy ending!

[Ahiko]

I really liked this episode mostly because of the dramatic twist at the end, but I'm also even more impressed at how the series can consistently add an underlying theme relating to real life situations underneath all of the comedy.

I might have to start refreshing my memory re-reading the manga to spoil myself on what's coming up.

<3 Oura HS Host Club!!

Another solid episode. I definitely didn't expect what came at the end, haha.

physics223: I don't know... at the very beginning of the show, I guessed that Kyouya and Tamaki would be the main candidates as far as potential romantic development with Haruhi goes. Having seen a little more of Ouran, though, I don't think Kyouya is ever going to throw himself into the fray. He seems much more content to just sit back and watch the hijinks.

[JanthraX^]

Finding this series to be keeping a really high consistency, very funny and wonderful to watch, as in great artwork and colours, the scene from ep 4 where tamaki was getting by the arrows was soo funny and the music was perfect.

Im really enjoying this atm and the little bit of seriousness from the twins was great nothing too intrusive just a nice little bit of drama, if they do plan on doing more drama i hope they keep it nice and simple. Also the Host club seems like a bunch of nice guys (+ 1 girl) , just a bit spoilt (- 1 girl) =D

It shan't belong when Kyouya has his "moment" with Haruhi as well, sort of, though it should be immediately offset by The Major Tamaki Haruhi moment, perhaps in a few episodes.
