I’m crazy for rhythm music video games. Doesn’t matter if you need to use a dancing pad (Dance Dance Revolution, Pump It Up), press key buttons (Beatmania, Para Para), fiddle on your guitar pad (Guitar Hero) or even press your NDS screen with your stylus (Elite Beat Agent), and requires to do it in rhythm to the music; te most probable is already played it. I’ve even played those obscures Beatmania Anime versions for Game Boy. Try playing Lupin III opening in the squeaky wavy sound of the GB…..it ain’t pretty.
For those familiar with AB.net blogs, you know the main server has suffered some serious troubles. But after hiring 35 monkeys and Impz , they finaly fixed them using chewing gum, monkey poo and Guncannon private stash of Green Loli pictures. This means Extrange Is Metrosexual can now proceed his interstellar travel of Moé propagation and reviews. (No I’m not drunk or smoked, sleep deprivation is the cause of my temporay insanity.)
Time for another wallpaper, this time Haruhi related. This wallpaper was made by HyDr@, from Hydra-Art.net
Need to see something less……moé for the next days or I’ll never sleep again this week. Guess it’s time for me to see Nanoha A’s.
Last year has been a busy year in personal terms, having almost no time for seeing stuff like Anime or Prison Break, so I’ve been updating myself these couple of months on what I’ve lost. Finished seeing The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya a week ago and surprisingly, even after being spoiled on the plot and seeing it in chronological order….I feel I’m becoming an Haruhiist.
But how the hell this show has managed to capture my attention and interest when, on the first look, seems equal to so many Anime’s out there? After a while thinking, I managed to make a small list of factors who I think contributed to turn it into a worldwide craze.
Why post this scan on the blog? Because I’m turning into a Haruhiist and I need some Moé dosage. And please don’t nosebleed over the monitor…
Haruhi Fujioka is a exception in Ouran High School, the private school for the kids of rich or influent families. Being not any of those two, Haruhi was given entrance due to high grades sucess. One day , while trying to find a quiet to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Ouran Host Club: a bunch of good looking guys who provide entertainment and charm girls for profit. Tamaki Suou, the prince type; Kyouya Ootori, the cool type; Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, the devil twin type; Mitsukuni “Hunny” Haninozuka, the loli-shota type and Takashi “Mori” Morinozuka, the Wild type. 
After being dazed by the looks of this peculiar group, Haruhi breaks a vase worth 8 million yens. Haruhi was forced then to work for the Host club. But later was added as a Host member itself and included in the Natural type with good sucess.After an accident with a jealous client of Tamaki, he finds out that Haruhi is in fact a girl! ( a detail every Host Club member had already realized before Tamaki.)
From that point, the manga revolves around the relation between Haruhi and the Host Club menbers, their personal stories and their expectations for the future.
Plotwise, the manga is the reverse harem kind, where the guys will get romanticaly involved with the main girl. but as I referenced before , there are a lot of focus on the side stories of each Club member. 
Also, the fact of Haruhi being a reverse trap (but not on purpose.) leads to several comedical situations. in terms of art and drawing, the style reveals its origins: the author is Bisco Hatori, a female manga artist who publishes in the Lala magazine (a shojo manga magazine directed to teenage girls.) so the charactes have efeminated traces and details.
I was first lead to this manga (and anime by default) when someone asked for an example of reverse trap. Attracted by the looks of the main character, decided to read it and I’m not regreted that I did. Ouran School is a good light romance/comedy manga who has conquered a niche on my gallery of works to remember.
