Summary: Hinata Reviews
Review: I personally think that this movie and the book is really great! Though the book is more detailed and sometimes even better than the movie. The part where Shinobu comes in gets a little boring. But they have some kind of romantic parts in it that Naru smashes Keitaro in the head. Hehehehe Well I just think that this is a really great movie and make sure that you see it!

Summary: Naru becomes a pop-star!
Review: In episode 9, Keitaro, the manager of the Hinata Inn has all of his money in a little case. When he comes back to his room, the money is gone! So, Kitsune and Su start seeing who the thief was, but it was nobody at the Hinata Inn. Then, Kitsune says she did. And she has a very clever way, too. To find out who she did it, buy this DVD! In episode 10, Everytime the red moon comes out, there's a mysterious woman with an alligator. Kentaro Sakata is going to give flowers to Naru, but on his way, he discovers the girl, and gives them to her instead. She refuses the flowers, and her alligator beats him up. We discover that Kaolla Su turns into an adult version of herself when the red moon is out. Kentaro says that that girl is Su, but she is not. Instead, she is Su's sister, Amalla Su. She wants Su to come back with her, but Su refuses. This is also another one of my favorite episodes. In episode 11, Naru becomes a pop-star. She gets tired of singing, so she decides to go back to her normal life. In episode 12, Motoko's clothes have been washed, and she has nothing to wear. So, she ends up wearing girl clothes, which she does not like. That episode was really cute!

Summary: Transform? Swordsmaster Motoko's Casual Look
Review: Love Hina is a good anime. But, this DVD is not so good. For one, the dub voices are all wrong. Urashima sounds like he's holding his nose. Su-chan sounds like she's indonesian when clearly she's an alien. Mutsumi doesn't have that soft voice. And Motoko doesn't scream the same way. Anyway, the first time I saw these certain episodes it was really cool. However, I'm gonna have to say that I am passing on this DVD and waiting for the 4th one to come out. Sara and Seta show up then!

Summary: A weird, but satisfying, work of anime
Review: Love Hina is strikingly original by taking common themes in other anime and playing around with it in a strange mixture of obnoxious insanity and humor. Hilarious references to other aspects of Japanese media and culture appear often in this DVD as well. But it doesn't really matter if you understand the references or not, this anime is excellent.Due to certain plays on words and manners of expression in Love Hina, I would recommend watching it subbed, especially if you are studying Japanese language and culture, like myself. Certain things are too drastically changed by the dubbing, especially subtle details of mannerisms and speech. But, knowing some dub enthusiasts, if that is your thing, Love Hina should still be hilarious in English. A few people don't "get" Love Hina, but most people love it.

Summary: Magical girls...an alligator...flying turtles...why not!?
Review: Part 3 in the Love Hina series...it's still funny, but the story can get a bit silly. This release shows the Hinata turtle flying, a tame alligator named Shiro, a giant metal turtle that tries to eat the apartments, and magical girls transformations.
We see that Kitsune is a prankster. The relationship between Keitaro and Naru grows with Keitaro voicing his feeling outright and Naru showing that she likes having him around. Su's background is covered vaguely as her sister arrives in town and we learn that Su left her homeland to get away from something. We learn that Naru can sing. Motoko learns that her "chi" (inner strength) is only defeated by her own fears.
Unfortunately, the english dub is still the achilles heel. (I'd stick to the Japanese track and use subtitles.) Other than that, this installment was not a disappointment. It ties into the previous episodes, and it still brings out a laugh.

Summary: Hang in there, it gets better again!
Review: The first episodes were awesome, but then it diverges from the main plot with a series of episodes full of wild antics having little to do with the main story. If you bare with these the last episodes are even better than the first, and the two specials are absolutely amazing. And when someone releases Love Hina Again, the OVA, in America and one gets to watch those, one can't argue against Love Hina being one of the top 10, if not 5 greatest anime of all time.

Summary: Enter The Hina Zone...
Review: The rent money has disappeared, a mysterious woman who looks like an older verison of Kaolla is running about at night (with a alligator), Naru may become a Pop-Idol and Motoko is dressing up in normal outfits for once!
Who took the money? Who is the woman and how is she linked to Kaolla? Will Naru become rich and famous and leave the apartments? Will Motoko ever find her pride again?
Add a giant robot, that looks like a turtle, Kitsune dressed up like Sherlock Holmes, and lots of extras and what you have is a great DVD!

Summary: its a trip
Review: These episodes have always been my favorite out of the series. It's best to watch these episodes without any forknowledge of what is going to happen. There are a lot of references to other anime series in the episodes so, that can throw you off a little bit. If you know what Pretty Sammy, Fancy La La or Mech Godzilla, are you are going to love this disc. Its pure hilarity, just don't think about it too hard. The characters and there relationships to one another are developed constantly behind the zaniness and oddity and, of course, we get to see Keitara beaten up in so many different ways. It's really good, trust me..
