Perhaps this is to tie in with Kio Shimoku’s (木尾士目) latest work “Kujibiki Unbalance”(くじびき♥アンバランス) that’s currently serialised in Gekkan Afternoon. “Kuji-Un” is not illustrated by Kio himself, but by the doujinshi artist Koume Keito (小梅けいと). I’ve shown the cheeky-ero side of Kuji-An’s art direction in an earlier entry. But if you thought Koume’s a naughty boy - you haven’t seen nothing yet. I just learnt from Shingo that Koume’s doujinshi works are really hardcore.

It seemed like they were trying to construct some weird seriousness around that (mixed in with the already tired humour), which really rubbed me the wrong way. Also, I am an Art Fag, and the artwork in Ouran really wasn't doing much for me, most because I hate all shoujo artwork (and shoujo in general.) The only reason I was watching Ouran was for the LOL, and when it stopped being LOL I wondered why I was wasting time with it. As far as Fujioka goes, I just didn't like her at all, so pretty much any character is better than her, and the real Haruhi is definitely better. But to me, Mikuru is better than them all... Sorry for ruing your news post with so much RAGE, I just... really hate Ouran. I dropped Ouran around the point where one of the twins was acting like a total bastard.

I was really surprised that it hooked me, but I ate it up like handfuls of delicious buttery popcorn. Not sure what wildarmsheero is talking about when he (she?) mentions "contrived shoujo angst", because the show had a near certifiable 100% angst deficiency. The weird thing to me was how well Ouran worked when it didn't have a plot and the characters just sort of ran around like random goofs. When a plot made a random appearance, it indeed felt a bit contrived -- and anything with the Lesbians from Lobelia was pretty damn boring (crazy but true!). I hear you about the fall season. I'm following one or two shows out of sheer optimism, but at this point it all feels somewhat rote. Happily there are many undiscovered gems like Ouran left for me to find.

I thought it was outright terrible. The first couple of episodes managed to make me LOL, but then the jokes were used over and over until they just got boring. When I stopped, the show kind of devolved into contrived shoujo angst, which I'm really not into, so I dropped like a rock.
