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
trond-gjeset What can you say about the show that contains some of the best combinations of romance, humor and slapstick humor imaginable by my opinion. An animeshow has to be real good to surpass this one. I gotta say, i'm a sucker for romantic comedies and i have seen a lot of them, but none really matches the level of this one. The seemingly endless almost-gonna-happen-but-never-does mood of this show has on more than one occasion made me bang my head against the keyboard until i had to get my backup keyboard. You gotta love slapstick to love this show though as much of it is based around that kinda situation, just don't do the mistake i did when watching it. Watch the episodes in the way they came, not the last one first or you won't be a "headbanger"
au_law2001 What can I say? I loved this show, it's one of the best I've seen. Sure maybe unoriginal, a bit like Tenchi or Ranma(Tenchi was not the first,it was Ranma!), but there are some that are originality and with a few references. And full of laughable, colorful and funny characters. I feel sorry for him. He's innocent I tell ya! I think it'd be funnier if they made this guy a person who apologizes too much, which only makes things worse. There were a lot of references to other shows and video games which seem subtle and some were obvious. Anyways it's really cool, a great clone if you will, but funnier, stuff that could remind you of Ranma 1/2 or Tenchi, and make find out why you loved them in the first place. If you liked it, maybe you should try watching Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual! or Happy Lesson. A lot like Love Hina but also funny and a bit dramatic, but you'll have a hint it is like it!
