Okay, let’s be real. We’re all thinking it. The Ouran Highschool Host Club Season 2 English dub… where is it?!
It's been, like, forever. We're still waiting! Are we cursed to only rewatch the first season on repeat?
The Endless Wait: A Comedy of Frustration
Remember when we thought it was coming "soon?" Ah, the sweet naivete of youth. We clung to rumors like a lifeline.
And now? Now, we just sigh dramatically. Like Tamaki staring at a rose. It’s practically an Olympic sport: waiting.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Here it is. The truth bomb nobody wants to hear. I think it's okay that the second season is not here yet.
Deep breaths. I know. Blasphemy, right? But hear me out.
Maybe, just maybe, some things are perfect as they are. The first season was lightning in a bottle. Can we really recreate that magic?
What if the dub doesn't live up to our expectations? Imagine the disappointment. The collective heartbreak of the fandom.
The Dub Dream vs. Dub Reality
Think about it. We have built up this image in our heads. Of how perfect the dub *could* be.
Hikaru and Kaoru need just the right amount of mischievousness. Haruhi needs to be perfectly deadpan.
And Kyoya? The voice actor needs to practically ooze cool calculation. It's a tall order!
Sometimes, the mystery is more fun than the answer. The anticipation is half the joy. Like waiting for a package, only to be disappointed when it arrives slightly damaged.
I'm not saying I *don't* want a season two dub. Of course, I do! I’m just saying… maybe it’s okay if it never happens.
The Fanfiction Fix: A Temporary Solution
In the meantime, we have fanfiction! The endless possibilities.
People have taken Ouran in directions I never dreamed of. It's beautiful! Some are even better than my own ideas for the series.
Plus, we can cast our own dream dub actors in our heads. No budget constraints! Chris Pratt as Kyoya? Why not!
Embrace the "What If?"
So, let's not despair. Let's embrace the beautiful "what if." The "what if" of a perfect season two dub.
The "what if" of even more hilarious Tamaki moments. The "what if" of Haruhi finally admitting her feelings (maybe!).
And, if a season two dub *does* happen? Then, great! We'll all rejoice. But, until then, let's just enjoy the original. And our fan theories!
We can rewatch the first season again. And again. And maybe, just maybe, be happy with the way things are.
Perhaps that's the real lesson of Ouran. To find joy in the present. Even if the present involves a severe lack of season two dubs.
So let’s raise a glass (of commoner's coffee, of course) to the never-ending wait! And to the power of imagination!
