Summary: Good but not great
Review: I am a fan of many types of anime...so when I need a break from the serious overtones of such anime as X or Escaflowne, I usually pop in Ranma 1/2, but that can get old. So I tried my luck with Love Hina...

Young Keitaro dreams of attending Tokyo U, all because of a promise he made to a girl from his past. When the time comes to take the entrance exams, Keitaro fails, and finds himself instead taking over duties as manager of the Hinata Apartments, which in actuality is a girls' dormitory owned by his grandmother. Obviously, this clumsy, inexperienced young man will face a lot of problems.

The series starts off great with this first volume. The characters are excellent. Naru, an attractive girl and the object of Keitaro's affection. Shinobu, the shy junior high girl. Motoko, the kendo champion. Su, the crazy young girl with a love of food and Toma the turtle. Mitsune, the "southern bell" type character. These are few of many involved in the series.

I gave it a rating of 3 stars because although it starts off strong, the rest of the series drags a bit, and I was disappointed with this ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Coolest Anime Ever
Review: This is THE anime that got me into anime. First I got started out with some Vampire Hunter D and Excel Saga which quite frankly freaked me out, but this was good. All about beating up boys and yet being in love with them at the same time. If you're not an anime freak already you will be after getting started on this series :)!!!

Summary: Girls point of view
Review: I have not yet seen the Anime but i have read the mangas. (friend got me into it) And i thought the manga was great to read. Yes it is true it does have a quit but of nudity but its not like its extremely graphic. You get the sence of what you would see, and somethings the things the girls do to each other would never happen in real life, but it is funny.
The story is about Keitaro who has been tring to get in to Tokyo U. for 2-3 years now. He leaves his house to go live with his grandmother for a while at the Hinata House. Things start to go wrong and he finds out that the Hotel is now a dormatory for girls where he meets the cute but agressive Naru, the very loss Kitsune, the very smart but crazy Su, the serius kundo Motoko (who i think is the coolest) and then you have Shinobu, the young and smart girl who has a little crush on Keitaro.
Now you much read or watch what happens to them all.
Its a great read, i am going to check out the anime.

Summary: um
Review: well this is just about the MOST perverted japanese anime that I have ever seen. I mean, it's tastefully funny at times, but for the most part, at least with the episode that I saw, it revolves around a group of very scantily clad anime "gurlz" (i.e. they are completely naked most of the time)(and even when they're not naked, you're getting "up close and personal" with the most, um, sensuous parts of the female anatomy). That's not really a bad thing if you're a straight guy and you also like anime. What I'm really trying to say is that I think the recommended age of 13 and up is completely off base. This is most definitely 18 and up kind of stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An interesting start...
Review: I've heard a lot about Love Hina, so decided to start with the first DVD and then, maybe continue from there. Keitaro Urashimo finds himself the manager of a all-girl building, the Hinata apartments, somewhat against his own will. You see, he is trying to get into Tokyo University, but has already failed twice. He was studying for the third time when his grandmother invites him to visit her. He arrives to find her gone and now he has to run the apartments, keep the girls from killing him and study for his third try at getting into Tokyo U. Will he make it into the school? Will he find the girl who loved so long ago, as a child? Will he win the girls over with his pure heart? Will he stay a whimp for the rest of his life?
I found the DVD funny. The first episodes deal with the characters, slowly bringing them into the story. The extras were nice and the opening and ending music was cool. These episodes, with their flash-backs, really do help in setting up a foundation for the upcoming episodes (I hope). I'll have to get the next DVD and see how they start to develop the characters!

Summary: A Hilarious Anime that also Tugs at Your Heart
Review: I must say that I first learned of Love Hina while at a bookstore. I read the first manga and instantly fell in love with the series and managed to read the entire manga online. When I learned that there was an anime of Love Hina I rushed to the local movie retailers to get one. As a college aged guy, I'm mostly into stuff like Gundam, Macross, and other more action oriented anime. The Tenchi animes where the only romantic comedies that I loved, but after watching this, I must say that Love Hina has become one of the animes closest to my heart. I could relate to Keitaro as a character. He's a guy who is actually a nice guy deep down who's trying to do the right thing besides fighting his human urges and imperfections. The whole cast is just loveable and the anime is very entertaining. My only complaints about this anime are the fact that there are a few cheesy parts and that Keitaro doesn't get beat up at much as as he did in the mangas. Keitaro got beat up so many times more in the manga compared to the anime. Despite these imperfections, Love Hina is something that I recommend that anime fans try. It's not for everyone, but the series grew on me. I also suggest checking out the manga if you happen across them. Love Hina is a great romantic comedy and a great anime series. I'm working on finishing my collection of this set and I've heard that the concluding episodes are part of a series called Love Hina Again. I hope that many more anime fans will appreciate Love Hina like I have.

Summary: not for everyone maybe?
Review: although this show seems to be popular based on other reviews (so it must have *something* going for it), i must warn the anime fan that this series might not be for you. if you like interesting, thought-provoking, original (etc etc) anime, don't bother with this. everything is a total cliche and the humor is all sophmoric... i wasn't impressed. if you are interested in the series, i recommend you watch the christmas special (which was okay) and then wash your hands of the series

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful
Review: Love Hina possesses one of the most unique and interesting plots among today's anime. Follow the story of hapless and clumsy Keitaro as he becomes a resident of an all girls dorm. Sounds like a fantasy? Far from it. Among this women there is the cold, strict Naru, the willy and seductive acoholic Kitsune, the psychotic foriegn Su, the kendo blade wielding feminist Motoko, the sweet innocent minor Shinobu, and many more! Love Hina supports the most colorful cast of female characters since Tenchi Muyo! Free of most mind numbing japanese humor and animated with such beauty it seems almost tangible, Love Hina is a must-own series! And be sure to start it off right with the DVD of the series.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Series, Not The Best Selection
Review: Love Hina is definately one of my favorite anime series. The story line is great, the characters are unique and interesting, and the fun never stops. As the series roll, it continues to get better and better and unfortunately, this is only the first volume...not the best in the set. Volume 1 is really only an introduction to the series and doesn't really quite set things off...all of the characters aren't really introduced yet and the story doesn't take off until around the 7th episode which isn't on this volume. But then again, If you haven't seen the series yet you might want to start off with Volume 1...it isn't necessary but it will probably make the rest of the series better and more clear.
