Ouran High School Host Club (Japanese audio) - Episodes 24-26 (Completed)
This second half was a lot more intriguing than I had expected, and I guess that's thanks to the Japanese cast. Again nothing wrong with going for the dub, but I felt that the dub at times over-exaggerates the attitude of the characters so it feels off-putting and weird.
The final two episodes does go into serious mode, but I believe they were non-canon to the manga so it makes sense. I also heard that the anime tweaked the order of the source material and changed a lot of things including adding anime-original scenes so if Ouran does get another anime project it'll probably be a Fruits Basket type remake instead.
Overall was a fun watch, but I'm thinking of settling the score to a high 7 than a solid 8. I do recommend the series but it has structural issues at times like background context episodes for characters at the last second which is weird, and the show mainly forgets the whole "Haruhi you're in debt" attitude very quickly so it's like the intro doesn't really matter much until the final episode.
