LOLShare

Posted by chervalier On August - 28 - 2009

ahh, I haven’t blogged in awhile..! Regardless of how busy/lazy I am, I will still make time to post every Friday’s LOLShare because I think (cheesy as this sounds) that laughing is so very important to all of us. Before I start waxing lyrical, here’s today’s LOLShare! =)

Today’s Share isn’t so much a video per se as it is an entire series. My followers on Twitter will know that I’ve been watching anime / reading manga lately and in doing so I’ve revisited an old anime series that I used to watch – Ouran High School Host Club. It’s an excellent shoujo-manga series that is hilarious beyond words!

Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran is a series that follows the adventures of heroine Haruhi Fujioka (or Fujioka Haruhi) who is enlisted into Ouran High School’s Host Club – a club that serves to please/pleasure/entertain iow HOST the female students of the luxuriously elite Ouran High School.

Without giving too much away, let’s just say that she meets and befriends the members of the club, namely the president Tamaki Suou, Kyouya Ootori (vice-president), twins Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachi, HaniXXXX and MoriXXXX (I rarely paid attention to their full names and just called them Hani-senpai and Mori-senpai)..  And gets to know all of these characters pretty well.

The utter LOLness of this series comes from its over-exaggeration of everything (or perhaps just one character’s over-dramatization) that is coupled with deadpan captions. In my opinion the most hilarious character of all is President Tamaki, who tortures himself with his desire to watch over the group as the Otosan (Father) figure and silly fantasies about certain situations. It is EFFING hilarious!!

The many faces of Tamaki-kun (when he's overreacting).. My favorite is in the top right, when he hides in a corner.. LOL

My favorite parts are when Tamaki-kun does his stupid “huddle-up-and-go-sit/sulk-in-a-corner” act, much like he’s doing in the top right box of the above picture. It just kills!! And also his utter narcissism! Heh. More Tamaki-ness coming up..

Don’t you just love how cheesy that last drawing was?? Lol. And the series is FULL of such drawings!

I also love that ALL the characters have different facets to them. And the reactions of the usually fearless ones to the “darker” sides of the usually amiable ones.. It’s ROFLMAO worthy! I love Honey-senpai for his utter cuteness! (The voiceover by the original Jap dubbing artiste is the best, hands-down. No lousy English dubs for me!)

    Hahaha! The screencaps are so adorable! But then again, I think nearly all animé are exaggerating. That is what makes them so enjoyable and laughable. Personally, I prefer watching real life adaptations of the animé and manga. You can’t blame me since most of the Japanese guys are just too good looking. ;)
