Trivia:

Vic Mignogna and Caitlin Glass both spearheaded getting Ouron to the United States for dubbing, after they both saw it in Japanese. Mingonga specifically wanted to play Tamaki Suou after falling in love with the character. Maintaining professionalism Glass still auditioned others for the role along with Mignoga. Vic's audition landed him the role in the end.

Quotes:

Haruhi Fujioka: [after an elaborate plan to get two students to admit their love] Aren't you making things worse?
Tamaki Suou: He went out and chased her.
Haruhi Fujioka: [smiles] Our Ouran Host Club exists to bring fortune to girls, eh?

The best anime I've watched in a long time...

This anime is the tops. I have never seen a shoujo anime that I have enjoyed as much as Host Club since I saw Fruits Basket. Do yourself a favor and buy the DVDs of it, plus the manga. You will not be sorry, especially if you're a shoujo fan, or even if you aren't one...the characters are so vibrant, cute and fun that anyone, yes even a non-anime fan would fall in love with the Host Club. Outrageous, dashing, handsome, and idiotic Prince Tamaki, the crazy Hitachiin brothers (who put on a fake incest act that the girls seem to love??), Kaoru and Hikaru, Cute Momiiji Sohma-like Hunny, Mori, the silent strong host, and my absolute favorite and the HOTTEST host...cool and evil Kyoya, the "shadow prince" of the club. Haruhi, the heroine is refreshing, because way too many shoujo heroines are too bright and bubbly and in-your-face, Haruhi is calm and practical. I really hope they bring Host Club to America and dub it, but for now, watch Host Club any way you can, this series is too too amazing to miss!!!
