Summary: A deep romantic event in a great romance/comedy series
Review: I'm really glad that Bandai Ent. is releasing the Love Hina X-mas special in time for the holidays. Hopefully, the Spring Special and follow up Love Hina Again will soon be released as well. I had recently seen this special episode in the original subtitled form, and I agree that it's very touching. The basis of this special is about a Christmas legend that if you admit your true feelings to the one you love on Christmas Eve, your wish to be together with that person will come true. This special is not without it's dramatic points about our main characters, Tokyo U hopefuls Naru and Keitaro, for whom everyone throughout the series has been rooting for, that really builds up to what I believe is one of the greatest romance scenes ever. Will Naru and Keitaro finally admit their feelings to each other on Christmas Eve? If you like the Love Hina series so far, definitely add this to your collection not just for this special, but for the bonus Episode 25 that will be included in this release.

Summary: Very cute!
Review: If you are a /Love Hina/ fan, you'll find this Christmas movie a pleasant addition to your collection. It's realistic (as far as /Love Hina/ goes, anyway), romantic, and fits in well any time around the holidays, although it does center around Christmas Eve. If you were considering buying this but not sure whether it's worth the price, I'll affirm that the bonus features are beyond expectations; you get an entire free episode (26) of /Love Hina/ alongside the movie; episode 26 is separate, funny and can be watched on its own as a treat. If you're simply collecting Christmas specials, I'm not sure whether you'll enjoy this as much without background knowledge of the characters, but as an addition to the /Love Hina/ series it's great.

Summary: Love Hina - The Christmas Story
Review: Interesting anime to say the least....Too bad in the US they added ep#25 with this one instead of the "original" disc #9 (OR in 'our' terms disc #7) that went with the box set of the original 'Rabu Hina' sold in Japan. That last one had both ep #25 & the bonus music to the entire series.... Over all and all... I enjoyed it very much, though I didn't order this because of recieving it in the original format of Japanese... It was cute because it came w/ a "Portait of Hinata Sou Girls..." Hontou ni kawaii yo!! *He clears his throat...* Anyways... A 'must-buy' but forewarned to put in Japanese-eng sub.... You'll see why soon enough. Oh yeah! I can't wait for the US to come up with the last bit of the series that the manga finished.... That's.... Spring Special, & Love Again Kanako, Keitaro & Naru. Well.... Sore ja,
Toru-kun

Summary: Touching, funny and very very romantic! Love Hina rocks!!!!!
Review: The "Love Hina" series is one of my favorite anime, especially in the romantic-comedy "harem" genre. This movie takes place after the series end and has Keitaro, Naru, and Mutsumi all studying for their their entrance exams. For some reason, Naru is all cold to Keitaro despite their having come to an understanding about their relationship at the end of the series. Since it will soon be a special Christmas eve where if you confess something to someone, good things will happen, Keitaro has plans to confess to Naru -- his love. Will she confess her love to Keitaro? If you liked the "Love Hina" series, you will LOVE this special. There is less comedy in this but the romantic story between Keitaro and Naru makes great progress. The English dub is...well, I'm sorry but I will never accept Kitsune as a southern belle! It's just so wrong, especially if you watched the series in the original Japanese. And even if you didn't, it just feels...well, wrong. Keitaro's voice isn't as good, nor is Su's. It's sad really, because some series like "Hand Maid May" actually do a great English dub. As to the DVD, there is an extra "Love Hina" episode here -- an OAV 25th episode. It is a filler episode dealing with Motoko and her sister. It could have been a good episode as all of the previous Motoko episodes were. However, the writers and animators thew out a good story in favor of tons of fan service. I thought the original series was done fairly tastefully -- some fan service, but nothing too "in your face". This episode actually has Keitaro falling (nothing new) and managing to pull down Motoko's panties as she falls. That's just for starters! It is outrageous! Bottom line: The special is GREAT and episode 25 is OK. "Love Hina" fans should put this in their collection!

Summary: Another great DVD!
Review: This dvd also has episode 25, and Japanese and English tracks, along with English subtitles. The whole dvd is 75 minutes long. Episode 25 is also one of my favorites, it features Motoko's sister. She wants Motoko to come back home with her, but Motoko doesn't want to go, so she tells her sister that she is going to marry Keitaro. Motoko battles her sister, but loses, and says she is going to become just a normal girl. She does that, and she wears girl clothes. The Christmas Movie is good, too. I loved the dub version of this. I really hate subtitles. This is a good Christmas Movie! It also comes with a reversible cover of the Hinata girls wishing you a Happy New Year! It comes with a mini-poster, and on the other side is a 2003 calendar, which tells the character's birthdays. It also tells that the Love Hina Spring Movie is coming out on DVD on March 18, 2003! I can't wait until I buy it!

Summary: Another Touching Tale
Review: This was originally Manga volume 11 I think... So if you've read it you can see they condensed a lot of the story down. Still you get to meet the creator as he plays a role in the show. Keitaro, Naru and the rest have a typical turbulant christmas with A touching conclusion as Keitaro finally.... you'll have to see for yourself.
