Description:
The plot of this popular slapstick romance veers into the supernatural as the summer ends. The gang from the Hinata Apartments prepares to leave the seashore and resume their studies when Naru is possessed by the ghost of a woman who drowned years earlier. Motoko uses her training in martial arts and Shinto exorcism to defeat the spirit. Kaolla Su, who has the unnerving habit of metamorphosing into an older version of herself, is joined by her brother, who looks like a handsomer version of Keitaro. The resemblance between everyone's favorite loser and Crown Prince Lamba Lu produces foreseeable complications. The disc concludes on an wistful note, when the characters stumble into an unused part of the building and find Moé, a century-old automaton. She mistakes Keitaro for his great-grandfather, suggesting an ill-starred romance decades earlier. (Rated 13 and older: comic violence, risqué humor, brief nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
