Steineded How sad is this?
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Torgo_Approves Ever since his first love disappeared from his life when he was a small child, geeky Keitaro has striven to be accepted at Tokyo University, where he strongly believes he will find his long-lost love again. Unfortunately, Keitaro's strongest assets (if he has any) aren't his grades, and he ends up being the student with the 27th worst grades on the school. Looking for a job and a place to live, he ends up at the all-girls dorm Hinata Inn where he quickly becomes the caretaker, despite the protests of Naru Narusegawa, who, to put it mildly, isn't Keitaro's biggest fan. Violent and hilarious comedy ensues as Keitaro must deal with his own extreme bad luck, angry girls, and an ever increasing sense that the world is against him.This is in no way fine art, but that doesn't stop the show from being absolutely impossible to stop watching. This adaptation faithfully brings the essence of the manga to the TV screen: horny teens accidentally getting into awkward situations, lots of goofy humour, lots of violence (in 99% of the case directed towards poor Keitaro), lots of hot girls, a heart of gold and a generally surreal atmosphere. It's over the top, absurd and repetitive at times, but never boring. Some minor changes have been made from the source material but the show never suffers from it. In my opinion, this is as great as an adaptation of the wonderful manga can possibly be. I love it.
Zak Lenard I have not been into manga and anime that long but I've been so bored lately that i decided to delve deeper into the anime abyss and i had always heard of love hina. so i shoveled my pride and downloaded it and i was hooked. It's funny in the beginning and it develops beautifully. I watched the entire anime in one sitting and then immediately downloaded the manga. I watched the end of the anime and was heartbroken because i had to know if there was more. I don't feel the same anymore. This story changes you. Its well worth the shot or two in my pride and i'd do it again. Check it out and then buy the DVD. I plan to go tomorrow and buy it so that maybe the money will open up a new series!! Try it, its the newest guilty pleasure. :)
akira_2108 Anime has been corrupted. There's no doubt about that. Feminism and Political correctness is like a virus spread from the west. And its totally insidious. Love Hina is the Trojan horse that carries this virus and nearly everyone who has seen it has found the predominant male-bashing to be extremely funny and entertaining. They don't know they are infected and will probably never realise how much this wicked anime has corrupted them until its too late. This anime is a prime example of how worthless weak, spineless 'nice' guys are and how cruel the world is to them. I suppose thats a good thing seeing how half the male population can relate to him in some way and the anime does show in great realism - with the exception of throwing men miles into the air - how domestically violent women can be. I am of course one of those men who from the moment of watching it till the last episode have felt dangerously enraged and angry and downright depressed at what is definitely the furthest Anime has ever gone in tormenting the male gender - dismissing them as inferior, lazy and incompetent perverts who lack any spine or masculinity whatsoever. I am sure this anime will find a rightful place in the Men's Movement which is not far off in showing just how corrupting feminism and hence anime has really become. This anime is pitiful
swinne_vl I saw this anime right after the big series like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy bebop and movies like Akira, Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell and End of Evangelion. Those aren't the most happy series and movies out there so when I saw Love Hina, this was like a relief. It made me laugh, cheered me up, brought up so much different emotions. Its serious and cheerful at once. It kept me hooked for the entire series, the specials and the sequel Love Hina Again. And another very important thing: the soundtracks and music are amazing. they make the images so much greater when its needed, they never irritated me once. If you like cheerful love stories, this sure is a recommendation. It goes right up there with the Ah! My Goddess OVAs, even tough Ah! My Goddess is a little better in my opinion. At first Love Hina may look like some crazy kids show (unlike the manga) but there's so much more to it. I watched it several times now, and it gets better and better. You live along with the characters, you see their life, their evolution in the story and the series finish this just so perfectly in the end. Even tough it's completely unreal, it all looks so possible and constantly goes up towards that one big climax: what about Keitaro and Narusegawa? Still, it's a pity they didn't completely end it. The manga goes on for a few more chapters and clears even more things up. But that doesn't change a thing about how good the series is. This went straight into my top 5 of best anime ever. 10/10
