Summary: The end of a wonderful romantic anime series
Review: After the release of Love Hina Spring Movie by Bandai, there was some concern by some fans of whether or not we would be seeing a release of Love Hina Again any time soon. Well, this is the answer we finally got. This is the final 3 episode OVA that ends the anime version of the Love Hina story. The story at this point is that this continues where the Spring Special left off. Naru, Keitaro, and Mutsumi have finally made it into Tokyo U. However, before Keitaro can begin his lifelong dream with Naru, a stroke of bad luck/accidents prevents Keitaro from attending the university. After deciding to take a summer study abroad position with Seta, the issue of Naru's true feelings for Keitaro are put to the test, especially with the arrival of Keitaro's sister, Kanako, who apparently has a promise with her brother and "loves" him very much. Add a legend about an old annex that binds two people together, which makes Naru's struggle with her feelings that much more difficult. Will Naru open her heart to Keitaro or will she lose him forever?

This is another case where I had seen these last episodes in the original Japanese release. These last episodes are very heavy with the "fanservice" compared to the TV series and specials. Note: While the ending of the anime series with Love Hina Again is definitely a happy one, it's somewhat incomplete. If you haven't read the manga version of Love Hina that Tokyopop is currently releasing, I highly recommend it, since it contains a more extensive storyline and the "real" ending which is much better and has a definite closure to it.

Also, keep an eye out for Bandai Ent. plans to release a special "Movies" collector's box/boxset which will hold/contain the X-mas, Spring, and LHA movies in Nov.

Summary: Love Hina some more!
Review: Ahh, the long awaited end to the Love Hina anime series. But of course there's the manga series. First off, this is a perfect addition to your anime collection. However, if you are Love Hina fanatic, you will notice something... the manga continues on after the point where the anime leaves off. Both are great and a must buy for the Love Hina fanatic.

Summary: The end to a great series
Review: Despite being totally different from the true ending of the manga, yet too similar to it, this is a valuable part of the series.

If anything, you should buy this just for the 30 second extra... the "Outtakes." It's just the dubber's way of poking fun at the series. I think it was the best part of the whole DVD next to the actual show. ^___^;;

Summary: not as good as the show
Review: I am a huge fan of the series and i must say when i saw the fansubs of Love hina again i was dissapointed. it leaves you hanging just like the series did. and all the fanservice just kind of ruins it. i mean ya it was funny in the show but they pushed it to far for this OVA. if you really want to know what happens in this i suggest the manga, its great and this part of the story is told better and pluss its longer :P.

Summary: Love Hina Continuation...!
Review: I guess you gotta say this anime is out there but it's great. Pretty much what everyone else wrote is accurate. The humor's a little risque but it's worth it. Nothing too um...well ya know kinky. I really just wanted to say the anime doesn't end just at 25 and the specials (the movies that is). It continues! I myself have just purchased Love Hina Final Selection. It comes with the final chapter 26 of the series in addition to a bonus cd featuring some music concerts performed by the voice actors...or should I say actresses themselves, and some behind-the-scene looks. This dvd is a plus for LH fans and a MUST for diehards. Please if you haven't read the manga I STRONGLY recommend it. Though the dvd is nice it has a lot of gaps (or should I say a feeling of incompleteness) to it cuz the story is a little out of sequence and some events that would help develop the story a little more are cut out. Try the manga first if you're giving this anime a try. Ja Ne!!

Summary: The thing that should not be.
Review: I loved the first 25 epidodes of Love Hina, but this sequal makes me sick. They completely changed the art style, they introduced the thoroughly confusing and annoying character Kaneko, and worst of all, they turned Kentaro into a good guy. How could they? I refuse to even acknowledge this as Love Hina. As far as I'm concerned, Love Hina stopped after the Christmas Special.
Some people say Love Hina is just cheesecake. Fine, but if Love Hina is Cheesecake, Love Hina Again is straight up Hentai. Shinobu's lesbian adventures is episode thirteen of the original series pale in comparison to the blatant homosexuality of this sequal. They say lightning never strikes twice, but not only is this sequal NOT lightning, it's complete crap. Don't watch it, especially not if you liked the original. The Almatty has spoken.

Summary: A Definate For A Die Hard Fan But....
Review: I preordered mine the second I found out the American release date. I was sucked into the sweet romantic comedy back in the April of 2002 when a friend in California made me page layout with images from Love Hina. I promptly bought the first DVD I could find (which happened to be the second one, good thing too, since that episode devoted to Shinobu bugs the hell out of me) and have been an obsessed, die-hard fan ever since.
I was sadly dissappointed when I read a review stating Love Hina Again ends at Manga 12. I currently own up to Manga 13 (since the 14th and final manga is not on sale) and would highly recommend buying the Manga series if you haven't already. It truely does finalize Keitaro's and Naru's future plans better that the DVD. And unless they produce another DVD summing up the 13th and 14th manga, you miss a trully amazing (Though a bit sudden) "Happy Toudai Wedding!"
The fanservice is more apparent and abound in nearly every scene, but it's nothing too extreme and not much worse that in the regular DVDs; my veiwing buddies included my younger sisters of 11 and 12 and nothing was too busty for me to cover their eyes, I personally found the Spring Special worse.

Anyways, happy veiwing!
