Review

Love Hina�it�s great for a laugh. Something totally original and guarantees a good time when watching this series. Highly recommended for anime fans that can handle seeing a bit of skin.

Love the animations. There�s nothing really all that detailed about the animations, but the colours are vibrant, and everything is oh so clear. I actually heard somewhere that the entire series was done on computers, which makes it impossible to find cels for anyone that�s looking. All of the characters look very different from one another, everything from hair, faces, clothes and even bodies!

The music matched the scenes, and everything was very upbeat and pleasant. The voices were great; nothing seemed to out of the ordinary so the sounds weren�t a let down at all.

Plot? Great. I loved it. It didn�t really require a lot of deep thought, or thinking for that matter, but it was humorous while at the same time showed a deep romance. All of the characters had a special past and the series showed everyone�s past and how they came to be, which was really interesting since everyone was a little mysterious.

Characters were awesome. Everyone was so original, but all provided a lot of humour, and there really wasn�t anyone I disliked or found annoying.

This started out as something I was just watching because I was bored, and lots of people had recommended it to me, and their recommendations were on the spot. I loved it, watched it a few times, and I�m still not bored of it. The ending was satisfying, but the Spring and Christmas Specials gave it a little something extra, and the ending series Love Hina Again tied the bow that made it perfect.
