Not at all! Edward had "bronze" hair, and did not wear glasses. Also he looks like a corpse. Or a marble statue of a corpse. Blech.
That's Kyouya Ohtori, from Ouran High School Host Club, which is a lot of fun and worth watching. It's kind of a parody of shoujo anime, but it's also very emotionally satisfying and has some neat culture clash elements between the rich private school kids and their one scholarship student friend.
If you took someone with Jonathan Crane's basic personality, but he grew up under very different circumstances and had at least one real friend in high school, I think you'd get Kyouya.
It's also on Netflix, but I think they only have the dub. It's a pretty good one, but I know for some people, dubs just aren't as satisfying. If you ever get ahold of the dvd's, the dub cast has a bloopers reel, which is also pretty hilarious. I think they start referencing Star Wars at some point.
Sweet! That means that the entire Ouran Host Club experience is now on the internet!
Yeah, they picked a really good cast to dub this one. And the dubbed version of that Lobelia song is much less painful in terms of pitch, though still plenty ridiculous. (Am I the only one who always half expects the Zuka Club to start reciting Team Rocket's intro?)
Well, not the whole experience. One episode of the live action show is up, but the rest got pulled for copyright reasons. And I don't think the drama CD is available, either, not that it would make much difference since I don't understand the language.
I'm reading the manga right now. I want it alllllllllllll.
Not particularly. There are certain ones that we like, and we'll check out new ones if they come highly recommended, but we don't go looking for anime unless we're in a very specific mood. I almost never read manga, but I'll give it a chance if I have a good reason.

It's all on YouTube if you want to watch it!

The version I watched was the dub, and I thought all the voice actors were fantastic. I'm sure the sub is equally good, though.

I normally prefer subs over dubs myself, but I thought this one was more than satisfactory.
