Top 10 Best Ouran High School Host Club Episodes
From laugh-out-loud comedy to emotional depth, Ouran High School Host Club has something for everyone.This list is all about celebrating those episodes that made you laugh the hardest, tugged at your heartstrings, or left you thinking about them long after the credits rolled. Maybe it's the episodes where the Host Club pulls off one of their outrageous schemes, or perhaps it's the ones that give us a glimpse into the more serious sides of Haruhi, Tamaki, or the rest of the gang. No matter your favorite kind of Ouran episode, everyone has their top picks that deserve to shine.
I was just wondering why you can't fight because you're a girl. I understand that Tamaki was worried for Haruhi, but I think that generalizes girls as being weak. It also gives the impression that you shouldn't fight if you're a girl, and it really shocked me how angry Tamaki became just because Haruhi stood up for what she believed was right.
Haruhi learns a lot in this episode on how the boys think. Kyo stands up for Tamaki and Tamaki helps Haruhi with her fear of thunderstorms but gets found out, and the other guys think he's pulling some foreplay trick on her.
This episode made me bawl my eyes out! It was so romantically sad!
This episode is the one that solidified Kaoru as my favorite character, a position he's kept to this day. It may seem like a silly Halloween episode on the surface, but viewers come to realize that it's much more than that. As Kaoru's prediction becomes more fleshed out, we see that he's right: things are changing, for better or worse.
We get one last appearance of Nekozawa, and he goes out with a bang, let me tell you. The class rep's side romance was a nice touch as well, making it an enjoyable episode.
It's a good episode, but I think Hikaru belongs with someone else.
Just so perfect. Oh my god. I wasn't expecting this episode to hit so hard. I still tear up when I see the splash of red paint hit and watch as Kyoya's canvas of life opens up in the most wondrous way.
Most poetic and sweet episode in the whole show between my two favorite characters. Best episode hands down.
So sweet when Kyoya met Tamaki. It made me laugh a lot when Tamaki showed Kyoya some weird things on his TV. Although there were some roasting moments, I love the fact that this anime is made! Bravo, Kyoya! Mon ami! Mon ami!
A true friendship is blooming wonderfully!
The premise: Honey gets a cavity and can't eat the one thing he values most, sweets. This is the definition of the term "simple yet effective." Tamaki and the twins' terror after spilling tea on Usa-chan is still one of my favorite moments.
We also get elaboration on possibly the two characters that have the least development, so it was nice to see a Honey-Mori centric episode.
The twins' backstory was something we only ever had pieces of, but their full origins finally come to light in this episode, and it was well worth the wait. The maid was a big surprise to me, and their cruel antics masking their sadness, as well as Tamaki's determination, made it very endearing to me as well.
Kaoru's animation is on point as always, and overall, one of the best backstory episodes I've ever seen.
Truly my favorite episode. It has so much meaning. The twins are not as mean as you think, and they have a backstory like everyone else. The twins are pure awesome. Watching this makes people see that.
The Newcomers
Whenever I think of well-balanced episodes, this one always comes to mind. It's got plenty of comedy, what with Misuzu (REFRESHING!) and the twins' rivalry with Tamaki. However, there are definitely more serious moments too, such as when Tamaki panics about Haruhi's respect for him being on the line and the various twin moments that solidify Hikaru and Kaoru's closer bond, something that begins to change next episode.
Overall, at least 9/10.
The first part of the two-parter finale, everything comes to a head here. We have Éclair, Kyoya and Tamaki's family drama, and Haruhi's debt being paid off in the middle of a cultural fair. Add in an arranged marriage and fantastic character development, and you've got yourself one heck of a finale starter!
I just think this was a brilliant episode that gave some important character development to Haruhi. Plus, the end where they switch from her dream to real life and she sees how similar it is and comes to realize her host club activities are like a dream is absolutely brilliant and just incredible direction.
The plotline for this was something I thought was going to be a waste of time, perhaps filler at best, Lobellia-quality at worst. Boy, was I wrong. Even though the first 10 minutes are essentially just the usual host antics, seeing them stand up for Tamaki was probably one of my favorite moments in the series.
We also got some TamaHaru and rose symbolism with a sprinkle of character info that makes for one of the best episodes here.
