do people still WRITE KyouTama? please do, oh god.
Oh my fucking god you guys. I (re)watched the first six episodes of Ouran Koko Host Club tonight with my roommate and a friend and--
I can't stand how much I miss it. I forgot how absolutely hysterical it is and how gorgeous it is - visually, musically. Wow. It's actually really nice to watch it from an older perspective, knowing how things turn out and not being a bitter and narrow-visioned slash fan. Now I can actually appreciate the subtleties of Tamaki/Haruhi and Hikaru/Haruhi. I can ache for Kaoru without being sullen, can still coo over Honey-senpai and Mori, and damn it I can fangirl Kyouya like mad.
I laughed so much - honestly, they did such a fantastic job with this anime. Played with and subverted a lot of tropes, walked the line of gender identity, perfected over-exaggeration of sfx for comic effect, ugh. I just make flaily hand motions and lots of heartmarks at it, okay? hearts;♥♥
And I am craving Kyouya/Tamaki like crazy. INTENSELY. I just. Fuck. Wow.


(from this fanmix)
They're not even classic OTP like 1x2 or Touya/Yuki, not epic like H/D or K/S, but best Mommy/Daddy pairing ever, okay?
/CRAVES
ETA: /weeps They break my heart, I want to write for them again. Mon ami, mon ami!

But yes! Ouran is love. It was the first anime, I think, that I fell in love with while it was airing. Usually I just watch it after the series has ended and the excitement has dimmed, but truly was a lovely experience to watch it while it aired. I loved Tamaki/Haruhi, and came to Tamaki/Kyouya rather late. But both pairings have been written well. <33333

Same with me, re the watching-while-airing bit. And that was kind of exciting, to flail along with everyone while it was happening. But it's always been one of those series you know you can rec at people at any time. :D
Man I ship so much from Ouran: Tamaki/Kyouya hardest, but also Tamaki/Haruhi, Kyouya/Haruhi, Hikaru/Haruhi, Mori/Haruhi... then Hikaru/Kaoru, Kyouya/Kaoru, Kyouya/Mori, Mori/Honey! :D!

Well, I'm sure if I ever rewatched it I would be nostalgic. I already know over what: FujiRyo, Hyoutei, and chibi episodes. :3
Oh, and Tenimyu. Tenimyuuuu. Awesome stuff.

and laughs, ouran host club. I NEVER GOT INTO MANGA ... aside from some clamp, but that is mostly anime anyway. but y, on one of my birthdays, a friend sent me the first volume of ouran in an attempt to make me fall in love with it. sadly, did not work - I love my words and manga has so few ;~~~;

IT IS SAD BECAUSE I LOVE MANGA. I love words, yes, but some things are just so amazing illustrated. It's just another form of storytelling and paneling and backgrounds and positioning - it all matters as much as word choice. So interesting to see it in a different medium.
But mostly I love Ouran because I am shallow and the anime is alskdghd freaking ridiculously gorgeous and hysterical. ♥!
