Love Hina Again

What happened? I don't understand how such a beautiful anime could be ruined by such a short and meaningless sequel.

What was the director thinking when he directed this follow-up series. Not only was it hard to understand at time, it had way to much of a sexual theme to make the viewing a little bit awkward if there were any kids watching.

Some of the content in it may even force censorship laws to rate it for adult viewing only, like as if it was a Japanese Hentai.

To the writers and director, I say you ruined one of the best animes there was.

Two years after the creation of Love-Hina (the first real anime I have ever seen) Love Hina comes to remind us of the best elements of Love Hina. Incredible animation, beautiful music, an interesting plot and of course a lot of laughs!

The story begins at Toudai, the famous university that Keitaro and Naru kept trying for them to be accepted as students. But on the first day Keitaro breaks his leg (with a little help of his friends...) causing him to loose 3 months. After a visit to his home, he decides to follow Seta in archeological site excavations, leaving Naru troubled about his actions. The reason is that (yes) nothing really happened between them all this time (in other words, they are still not a couple...). Things get really complicated when Keitaro's little sister comes in search of her brother. But she is not really his sister and her views of Keitaro are rather ...complicated. This, of course, makes life difficult in Hinata Inn, especially for Naru...

Love Hina is a very good continuation of Love Hina, even though Keitaro is not really the main character but the character that Naru and Kanako fight for (and yes, I know how this sounds...). It's theme is rather a bit more sexual than the original series and to be honest this was a bit of alienating for me in the first place, but I guess it won't bother most of the people. I strongly recommend the series for the funs of Love Hina! They will just love it!

Keitarou leaves again with Seta for another archaeological dig. This time, we don't join him on this adventure. (Don't worry, we'll see Keitarou again later). Instead, we begin with the drama back at Hina household. We're introduced to a mysterious new girl with a pet cat that flies and talks. Who is this new girl, and why is she causing so much trouble? The drama also continues with poor Naru. Is she ready to confess her TRUE feelings? All shall be revealed in "Love Hina Again."

This movie was my favorite of the series and 2 Love Hina specials. There's great character development and plot twists. Also, if you found the series risqué, wait until you see "Again." There's even more brief nudity and sexual innuendos.

overall: an excellent ending to the series 9/10

recommend if: *you're a fan of the Love Hina series *you love anime/animation

avoid if: *you haven't seen the series and the 2 specials (refrences are made to both) *you're offended by animated nudity *you're offended by sexual innuendos.

Love Hina was funny partly because it was random. Love Hina Again takes this idea and throws it into the pit of hell.

Love Hina Again is 3 episodes, is completely mindless, makes no sense and contributes nothing to the original show. It has some of the classic gags from the first, with poor Kentaro's male instincts coming along with punishment from the insanity of Haruko & Co., but that's not enough to keep Love Hina Again afloat.

Good for a few laughs, but if you're looking for content, forget it. If you enjoy the humor of Love Hina, move on to something new like Golden Boy. This series has been worn out.

5/10

Well, this part of Love Hina Again, its alright as I think it is, well still has some comedy in it, haha makes people laugh in some way. But, what lacks about Love Hina Again as the No. 2 of Love Hina, some of the scenes of Love Hina Again is too sexual. Which other people can get grossed out about it and making kids go very weird that one day parents would stop letting them watching this. Well, I think its alright, considering it also makes me laugh, its just the sexual parts and taking clothes off, its just might make other people go "Yuck" about it.

I'd say: The original Love Hina - the first one is better than I expected from this one. All the makers of this Love Hina Again has destroyed the good parts - Only the comedy has left, but all the good parts have been destroyed.
