Anime reboots have become a growing trend that gives life to classic and beloved series. FromFruits Basketto the arrival ofKimi ni Todoke, these shows have set a precedent for returning to anime that has resonated deeply with fans. The success of these reboots isn’t just about nostalgia but rather about giving older, adored seriesa chance to fully explore their source material and storylineswith modern animation techniques.
Yet, despite the resurgence of other anime, one fan-favorite shojo anime is noticeably (and tragically) absent from the reboot roster.Ouran High School Host Clubhas long since been a cultural phenomenon that captured viewers’ hearts with its humor, heartfelt scenes, and clever, ahead-of-its-time satire of gender roles. While the 2006 anime adaption is still widely popular,it only scratches the surface of the manga’s full potential, leavingOuranas a prime candidate for a reboot worthy of its timeless excellence.
If We Can Get Kimi Ni Todoki, Then We Can Get Ouran
The Kimi ni Todoke Reboot Is Beyond Amazing, But Ouran Still Deserves It More
Kimi ni Todoke’sreboot is proof that old and beloved anime can return with as much, if not more, popularity. If there is any other anime that deserves a revival,Ouran High School Host Clubis undeniably at the top of that list. IfKimi ni Todokecan get a sequel after a decade, a series that all but ended after its second season, thenOuran, which also hasn’t covered the entire manga,has a strong case for a remake.
BothKimi ni TodokeandOuranshare a distinct connection with their fanbases and deliver heartfelt stories that define the Shojo genre for many viewers.Kimi ni Todokeis successfully appealing to new audienceswhile also preserving its original charm for longtime fans. This further proves that the strategy of rebooting older anime isboth commercially effective and receives widespread positive engagement from audiences.Ourancould easily achieve the same effect with its timeless humor and progressive commentary, and a remake has been in high demand for years, which practically ensures its success.
There’s So Much More Of The Manga Left To Explore
The Bottom Line Is That Ouran High School Host Club Deserves A Remake
The 2006Ouran High School Host Clubanime introduced fans to the eccentric cast of characters and whimsical storyline of the manga and received wide acclaim from audiences. However, the show ended after just one season, covering only a fraction ofthe manga’s 18-volume run. Due to this,many critical arcs and character developments were left unfinished, making a reboot the perfect opportunity to explore the unadapted storylines and give fans a more complete experience that stays true to Bisco Hatori’s original narrative.
The manga further explores Haruhi’s evolving relationships with the Host Club and other recurring characters. These storylines not only expand on the themes ofOuranbut also provide satisfying resolutions that the anime didn’t have a chance to reach. A reboot could introduce a new generation to the perfection that isOuran High School Host Clubwhile also providing longtime fans with the depth and closure they’ve been waiting for.
