Heheh.. I'm so glad you found another kindred spirit XD
Yeah, another appeal that Ouran used to have was that it was able to appeal to both girls and guys (gee I wonder why /sarcasm])
Definitely I liked Ouran alot more when it wasn't about romance or who Haruhi would end up with or just TamaHaru moments (or other pairings for that matter) sqee!!! (bah), but about the characters and relationships in their own right, growth of friendship, among other things
For me, there were so many other themes and issues that Ouran touched upon, and it saddened me to think that it seems to be all but forgotten, that Ouran will simply be remembered as a love story and .. well, not much more.
Of course, whenever I try to say this, the most common response is "But it's a ROMANTIC COMEDY!!!11eleventy)
Seriously, if I had a nickel/dollar for every time someone said that, I would be set for life
and ironically, it's usually said by the same people that tell me that I can't call TamaHaru cliche because "I'm supposed to look at the characters personality's first)
Well, I can't help but sense some irony there, anyways
I just wish I had the capability to draw as you did, cause that woud've been my outlet (well, one of them at least)
After all the angst for so many chapters of Hikaru realizing his feelings, the whole thing with Kaoru in love with Haruhi, and Hikaru growing up, Hikaru gets an immediate rejection at last!!!!!!! Okay, maybe Haruhi had to think about it...but it wasn't even much shown of her thinking about it. Only a couple of panels until the party and then he gets the ultimate rejection. What a let down!! All the buildup was wasted and dragged out too long if Hikaru's going to get rejected that fast. And Haruhi had to make that stupid blushing face when Hikaru ask her if she loved Tono
I really do feel for the twins, cause I really feel that they are getting the short end of the stick.. whilst Tamaki is getting his trauma pity party.
Are we supposed to forget what Kaoru went through? I refuse to believe that his feelings just disappeared.. they must still be there someone.. and Hikaru... he doesn't even get the dignity to move on, and yet is rejected all the same *slams desk*
