Here is my mangaupdates review for the original manga. The anime is identical, has filler episodes and no ending: Both the anime (i just glanced at it for confirmation) and manga are bad but the manga is a bit better done and just listen to me and Bennett the Sage as his Love Hina reviews are very funny and insightful. We both sure hate Akamatsu equally but dislike his Negima (3/10) more than this circle jerk so me and ecchi/harem will never be friends. No character development, no romance, no dating, no sex, thus no service i always say. I actually started to dislike the series half way through when i read it more than 10 years ago as a teenager so the art and the very first stories are the only saving grace. To think i actually played my own money for this. Ah the sins of youth but i learned and the harem genre has been dead to me ever since so thank you Love Hina for that. A good series about an actual harm would be Ooku (8,5/10) and the deconstructive Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei (9/10) should be the final word on the genre. At least this series isn't porn in disguise but Akamatsu does yuri/loli hentai on the side too. Sigh.

Clearly following up on the success of such manga / anime projects as Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku, this series re-uses many of the same gags - misunderstandings, ill-timed intrusions, super-punches throwing characters absurd distances - to tell the story of a teen romance that follows a rocky road. It just isn't as good. The story line is less ambitious, the action animation is sloppy and takes a lot of shortcuts, the characters are pretty one-dimensional and the overall look of the piece is not particularly imaginative or memorable, except for the aging apartment house the characters dwell in, and which is in itself given a well-thought out look. Still, there are worse anime teen romance shows out there, and grading on a curve makes this above average entertainment.

Takes second place on the all time funny list of Anime shows behind Ranma 1/2, but doesn't lag far behind. The slapstick and physical humor is almost non-stop, leaving you almost no time to pause and take a breath before laughing again. It's very easy to get hooked on this show just by watching the first two or three episodes as I did. The main character is very easy to sympathize with. And it's also very possible for one to get so into the storyline that you end up shouting at the screen for some of the characters to make up their minds. Every character is lovable in their own way. Take your favorite feminine personality, it's all here: Shy and painfully cute, Tomboyish and violent, Sexy and flirtatious, Devious and beautiful. While humor is definitely the main weapon of choice in this Anime, sentimentality and sometimes tragedy help to add depth to all these characters. While each character is more caricature than realism, it's still easy to identify with them. Love Hina... You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh some more... And did I mention laugh?

My first reaction to this anime would be "What the hell is this crap"BUT......After a few episodes it grows into you. The animation is really well done, crisp and full of detail. The English dubbing isn't bad, its not good but it doesn't suffer from the translation. I kinda liked how they gave Kitsune this southern accent to make her different which she truly is (she speaks with a Kansai accent in Japanese) so I'm glad they added this tiny detail in the English dub. The soundtrack isn't half-bad too. this is a great example of a series that has boosted its potential through a good soundtrack.The story is well written and is at times faithful to the manga, although i personally disliked the Moe-chan episode. You are led to pity Keitaro Urashima and how his luck ebbs and tides as his days go by in the Hinata Inn. The show gives us a little more insight into Japanese culture and life. (why the hell do they love bathing so much?)The anime and manga are a must-see for any otaku out there.
