Summary: Can it get any crazier?...Sure!...It's anime!
Review: Number four in the Love Hina series continues the antics from the previous issues, I'm happy to say.
In this release, Shinobu's curiosity and Su's technological creations combine in a kiss fest that ends in the birth of a friendship. Mr. Seta, Naru's old tutor/crush, appears with a young girl who calls him "dad", and Kitsune attempts to keep Naru from learning about his return. (Sara, the girl with Seta, treats Keitaro like a punching bag most of the time.) As you would expect, Naru and Seta are reunited, and Keitaro faces another hurdle between he and Naru. He, of course, makes the best of it by revealing that Naru loves Mr. Seta? This leads to a dramatic confrontation between the rivals during a Urashima family stage production. In the end, the hero (Keitaro) doesn't save the girl (Naru). She escapes and clobbers him, which is as it should be. Afterall, they are in love right?
Another wonderfully funny installment with more silly escapades and crazy situations tempered by the relationships between the characters. I can't wait for the next release...which is set for LATE OCTOBER?...ARGH!!!!

Summary: A trip to the beach
Review: The volume begins with what is one of the most bizarre parts of the manga: Shinobu's wanting to get her first kiss. Though it doesn't turn out the way she wants it to, it could have ended much worse. The next episodes involve some of the wierdest scenes in the anime. Seta, Naru's old tutor, returns to Japan and Kitsune does everything in her power to keep the two from meeting, with hilarious results. Keitaro, meanwhile, has been employed by Seta as an assistant, and has to deal with Seta's bratty daughter Sara McDougal. In the next episode, Sara is forced to stay at the Hinata Apartments while Seta's woking on an archaeological dig, and gets into all sorts of trouble. I won't say anything other than an army of robot turtles is involved somehow.The final episode is the best one. It's summer, and the residents of the Apartments go to the beach to work at the Hinata Seaside Teahouse. They perform the play "Journey to the West" (the play that Dragon Ball was loosely based on, by the way) and end up destroying the teahouse. Seta finds them a new place to perform the play if he can be in it, and Seta and Motoko end up having an eye-blurring fight that is awesome to watch. Despite the fact that my favorite character only appears in a flashback of sorts in this volume, it's still awfully good.

Summary: Rabu Hina, "Like it or Not..."
Review: Truthfully... 'Rabu Hina', a.k.a. "Love Hina" (in English), is an outstanding anime, and it always keeps you going with laughter.... This one alone could make giggle like a young japanese schoolgirl... Heheheheheh... ;P ... Although I couldn't help myself though not enjoy this anime... But, somewhat at that note, I think I enjoyed it way too much, even ordering it off of amazon.co.jp.... ahhh... but that's too much info... ...At the same token... There were some parts that wasn't like the Jap/English manga, I picked up here in Yokosuka, Japan... Yeah... true, I could see that, "Ken Akamatsu," didn't want his readers to enjoy everything bit by bit, as they enjoyed the manga, but none the less, I will admit this series alone, (if you like shoujo...maybe a little shonen...) would have people roling out there seats with laughter! ...I say... the only bad part, other then the anime not totally agreeing with the manga, is the 'english dub' part... I guess, somewhat... I really don't like "Mitsune's cajin accent..." ...Although cute, (I suppose...) it gets annoying here and there... especially "Urashima's weak voice." (Japanese is ok, but not the english...) Maybe, I'm just not use to the 'english dub,' because I prefer 'jap/english sub', but that I say has to be the only thing that almost could make this not, (as I re-instated before...) if not the greatest, and funniest anime since 'Maison Ikkoku,' from the same creator who also created 'Ramna 1/2.'
