Uhm, it's a show that wasn't even on the radar. The "hype" comes solely from the word of mouth. Which is the best recommendation something can get. Both Haruhi and Ouran are specialty series that don't appeal to mainstream so it's hardly a surprise people are divided. For me, personally, Ouran is the one that has less appeal. Haruhi is just so well done. It's not an amazing show (compared to best of the best), but it shows what can you get when you take a good premise and polish it to greatness by animators, storywriters, choice of music etc. Craftmanship shows in every frame and many little details. The biggest problem with Ouran is that the lead character (if the girl dressing like a boy is one, that is) is completely flat. We know next to nothing about her/him after 13 episodes. I can't recall any series of this quality that had a lead so flat. That's another reason to rate Ouran lower. You might hate Haruhi Suzumiya the character - and who wouldn't? - but you can't deny her presence on screen. Haruhi overhyped? Uhm, it’s a show that wasn’t even on the radar.

Incidentally, I voted for School Rumble and I stand by my vote.

BONES does quality work what can ya say... It's funny, over-the-top, and a little heart-warming - all with a cast of characters that aren't afraid to poke fun of themselves or their situations.

It's definitely a favorite of mine now that I've caught up with all the episodes. :) I’m probably the only person who voted for ‘Saiunkoku Monogatari’ as the best show of the season, but I can also see why Ouran was voted the best.
