    its easy to give good reputation even if its not deserved. This really deserves it.

    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"

    Hilarious romantic comedy series

    I saw every episode of Love Hina subbed, and it was very entertaining. It's about a 20-year old loser named Keitaro who is a 2nd year ronin (meaning he failed to get into college after high school twice). Keitaro's grades are not good enough to get into Tokyo University, which is the only college he wants to get accepted to. When Keitaro was little, he promised to get into Tokyo U with a girl. She was the only girl that liked Keitaro, so he's dying to keep his promise and see her again...although he can't remember her name.

    Keitaro's parents refuse to support him any longer, so he gets a job at his grandma's inn, which recently became an all-girls dormitory. Keitaro becomes the kanrinin (manager) and for the first time in his life, he is surrounded by women. The residents, ranging from a shy junior high girl to a sword wielding kendo master, either like or dislike Keitaro at first, but he soon gains their friendship, despite the fact they think he's a pervert and they kick the living crap out of him at least once each episode. There's also a romantic relationship that evolves between Keitaro and Naru, who deep inside really likes the guy (she kicks the most crap out of him, by the way).

    Later in the series, a love triangle develops between Keitaro, Naru, and another girl...and she might be the girl from Keitaro's past! It's very funny and the story is interesting. If you liked the romance aspect of Tenchi Muyo!, I highly suggest Love Hina.

    One of my all-time favorites

    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

    Excellent Anime......Not Bad

    Wow, this is a very good anime, this anime has lots of comedy, lots of love and relationship, lots of beautiful characters, and lots of breath-taking scenes.

    I got interested of watching this anime last year, because the way the story goes, gives you a very good story and explanation, so I had to get a try watching it, although I didn't know what channel has this program and when will it be on, so I just read the story about it. Until I found out that you can watch episode by the internet, so I gave it a try,i've only watched episode 21 and it got me laughing badly because of the guy Keitaro always gets smashed by his love Naru.....Yep, funny story. When I finished watching the 21st episode of Love Hina, my brain just wanted me to watch it again and again and again or watch a different episode.

    This love anime isn't just about 5 girls and 1 boy working in a Hotel and studying at Japan Uni, its about how we can love one another and be one another, well a bit of smack in the bum though, but not only the series of love-hina 2000 TV series, people who have very difficult relationships like men or women, well, this anime can give you a very good example of how you can take care of your lovelife and (how you can smash each other if your lovelife is going to go way off the line. - Hehe, nah I'm just joking.) Anyways thats why I put the brackets so you know I'm just joking.

    I recommend that this Show "Love Hina" is one of best animes I've seen, its super addictive, and super cool.

    If you haven't seen Love Hina, watch it now or rent it on DVD so it will make you keep laughing at home all day, if not, mate, your missing whats there. So give it a try now - Even though if your a man and you think this is like a girls anime, mate, ITS FOR GIRLS AND BOYS! Don't get embarrassed, just sit and enjoy it. Simple is that.

    Greatest of the modern-day animes!

    You cannot say anything bad about Love Hina without first proving yourself a liar. It's part of one of the greatest modern artforms and is definitely worth buying. The series is, without a word of a lie, one of the most moving, sweet and beautiful series I have ever seen. It has definitely brought many people (myself included) much closer together, which is a testament to its emotional power. It's also one of the most accessible of the new series, being available for the princely sum of £20 (animation) on eBay, or available from many good book shops (in manga form). It's won awards for reasons. I implore anyone reading this to go forth and become a Love Hina fan! Go NOW!! NOW!!!!

    • Trivia
      Mitsune Konno's nickmame, "Kitsune" means "fox" in Japanese. Her nickname reflects her cunning and mischievous personality.
    • Goofs
      In Episode 3, (Kendo girl in Love? - Swordplay) Motoko shoots Keitaro into the air with her sword, and Keitaro bounces on a roof, landing on his back on the floor, which is clearly intact at the time of the fall. But, in the next shot, Keitaro is laying face down, and the floor boards are boken around him and smoking.
    • Quotes

      Kaolla Su: Kaolla Su: adult version. Present, lovely, and accounted for.

    • Alternate versions
      Since many of the jokes in Love Hina revolved around Keitaro Urashima's supposed "pervertedness", and other awkward sexual situations, the dub version toned down the dialogue and changed the anime series in subtle and not so subtle ways.
