Ouran High School Host Club: Ways It's Aged Well
The Ouran High School Host Club is commonly referred to as one of the best classic rom-com anime of all time. However, the anime has more than just romance to help fuel its wacky premise and different flavors of fanservice. Ouran owes its success not just to its flamboyant characters but also to its approach to several issues like gender stereotyping and the usual tropes attached to female leads in a typical reverse harem.
Although Ouran unapologetically displays many “love to hate” shojo tropes, it’s careful not to overdo it and focuses largely on getting the message across through light-hearted comedy. Despite having a very basic plot, the anime tries to make its constructive approach to reverse harem clichés as entertaining as possible.
