This is a typical special episode.. There really isnt much here for someone looking for a bit of a "conclusion" on the Keitaro x Naru arc.. But the one thing that this special does do.. is give you more of a prespective into the Shinobu x Keitaro arc. You learn more about her feelings and thoughts.. I wished they would have went ahead and made it into a special completely from her prespective.. but.. they did enough for me to develop her character and feelings a bit more..

But.. This IS a special so.. its basically for the fans.. It doesnt really have anything to ... do with the storyline.. and its more like a mini-movie for fans of the series.

The art is the same as the series.. the music is still good.. and it has the same comedic hi-jinks. If you like the series.. youll like this too! I hope you enjoy!

Since my review is probably last on the list or close to it.. Let me fill in the gaps.. because I actually took time to read all the others.. less than an hour after I watched the series lol.

The one thing none most of the reviewers have wrong is the Ecchi.. in NO way can I or anyone consider this a anime based on "fanservice" .. if you think a couple shots of them in the hot springs are perverted.. Then the high ranking Toradora on this site would be put in the same category. Trust me.. look at my list.. I know fan ... service.. and this definitely isnt a anime filled with it.

The other thing that noone really comments on is the music. The music in this.. is by far.. the BEST music in any anime Ive seen so far.. There are many songs that the characters sing.. that are very cute.. There are alot of songs that they sing together.. but at action scenes.. and during other various times.. the music really reminds me of a good american movie.. It is almost symphony like.. and it just gives me the feeling of a really good score from a movie..

Lastly let me comment on the character development.. What I really like about Love Hina.. is the fact that the younger characters arent so "loli-like" .. Which means.. The younger characters are more developed and more easy to relate to ... Su-chan is a fun loving girl thats always seeming to have fun.. Shinobu.. is very cute and reserved.. and even Sara.. has the more aggressive personality.. Thats why I liked the younger characters so much.. they reminded me of actual people.. their traits were more realistic.

Overall I loved the series.. I just wanted to touch up and maybe clarify a couple points.. since I will be way down on the list of reviews read.. but I hope I did my best to maybe sway you into giving this series a try!

After watching the series I had to see the OVA's especially when I found out these dealt with food. Let me say this first off.. To me.. this was almost better than the series. I thought the series lacked the comedy everyone had said it had.. but to me.. these four OVA's completely made up for it.

All of the episodes are about 5 minutes long and they honestly move very quickly. The characters are all in chibi form.. plus the girls have animal ears and tails added lol... so.. the art is pretty cute.. and makes you laugh already..except Kushieda-chan has a flower on her ... head.. lol.. I didnt understand it either.. but it made it that much more fun..

The episodes talk about cuisine.. and that is basically ALL they are about but.. honestly they are very very informative.. There is alot of information in each one.. Surprisingly.. Taiga-chan's response to every food she tastes was enough to leave me laughing even thinking about it.

These are definitely fun to watch.. and worth the 20 minutes youll spend to see all of them.. I loved them more than the series lol.

Like all OVAs that Ive watched so far this is basically made for the fans.. it really just is complete randomness that.. since I havent read the manga.. I found funny just simply because of the silly situations..

Let me describe a couple of the episodes for you if youre wondering if its worth taking the time to watch...

The first ep.. Is the gender-bender.. its sort of funny.. I think people who like to watch the gender bender scenarios would probably love this..

The second ep is basically all about Mikan.. Which is a really good plot for a single OVA.. its basically about her growing up.. ... but realizing shes not grown.. This maybe the ONLY To Love Ru ep Ive ever seen that actually dealt with mildly emotional and structured plots lol...

The third is the resort ep.. this one is purely for the fans of the girls.. There is absolutely no plot here.. no story.. nothing.. I would say its about 12 minutes of just gravure scenes .. of like an idol IV... is it worth watching? well YES! .. if you liked the girls of course..

The fourth ep is the RPG episode.. and the introduction of Lala's twin sisters that she mentions in season 2 but you never see.. I found this episode hillarious.. I love it when anime incorperates RPG themes.. I laughed everytime they "leveled" up.. and the status screen would pop-up.. This one is probably the best to watch of the group also for a LITTLE bit of relationship development.. I think I should just say that.. because I really dont want to spoil it..

The art was great.. the music was pretty good.. all in all.. it pretty much stuck to the randomness of the Seasons 1 and 2... but these are definately made with the fan in mind.. I hope you enjoy!

Well.. Where do I start.. Hmmmm

Well I watched this series due to a suggestion in the recommendations of Rosario + Vampire.. Although the shows are both somewhat similar.. I expected a bit more out of the series.

Let me start with this.. there are to me.. two seasons to this series basically..and the second series starts somewhere around episode 14.. but.. too be quite honest in my opinion.. Episodes 18-24 are basically OVAs that are stuffed in.. I mean.. There is the story of Kyoto the Fire Girl..a entire episode about a show Lala and Rito watch on television.. which had absolutely nothing to do with ... anything.. There is an episode (23) that is adapted to Japanese folk tales which is really neat and informative.. but it has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline..

The first episodes though.. 1-10 kept me well entertained.. and I laughed alot.. and the art is done really well.. and of course.. the fanservice is about the only thing that kept me interested enough to watch it.. the girls are very busty.. and very beautiful.. lol.. its hard not to enjoy Lala .. because shes buxom and clueless most of the time.. I liked most of the characters in this.. I didnt find any I didnt really care for much.

The OP and the ED are decent.. they sort of fit the general feel of the show.. if you like ecchi.. youll love the OP .. lol.. indeed..

So let me warn you with this in closing.. if you dont like fanservice/ecchi ..pass this up.. because its the only thing that keeps this series somewhat afloat.. due to the fact that its so accessive it makes you giggle a bit..

Would I suggest this anime? .... Yes... but to someone who just wants to watch something maybe as a change of pace or a break from a anime they just watched with a really deep storyline.. or if you just want to see alot of half naked girls with a couple laughs lol.

Thank you for reading!

Let me explain this will be my first review.. I felt I should write a little review on it because I didnt find an of the others to be very positive nor helpfully informative enough. I hope I do my best!

Let me first explain the style of this is Comedic High School Ecchi.. The only thing I found somewhat annoying between this and season 1 was the censored fanservice.. but at times I also found it sort of funny. I think if you enjoyed the first season.. Watching the second season is a must.

I.. unlike some of the other reviewers found alot of character development..There ... were episodes that were almost entirely based upon one of the central characters..The girls are still charming and beautiful in their own ways.. Moka, Yukari, Kurumu, and even the gorgeous Ruby..still have infectious personalities.. that are hard to resist..and the addition of Kokoa makes things interesting..

The story for the second season is good.. and it follows the first seasons basic concept of a guy trying to deal with being thrown into a strange school.. and making new friends.. with strange circumstances.. I know at times it doesnt follow a basic "flow" and the storyline changes.. but I never found any of the episodes to be boring.. they all contained the same comedic happenings as the first season..

The animation is great.. as expected... and the opening song gives you a feeling of the fun and laughs that will follow in the episode..and I think fits well..

I hope this helped anyone not being able to decide on watching the second season or not.. I definately suggest it.. I gave this an overall 8.. for its genre it was not a disappointment.
