Episode #20: A Sepia-colored Promise with a Sleeping Girl: A Trick?

Screenshot:

Haruka found an old log for the Hinata Inn when Keitaro's Great-Grandfather (Keisuke Urashima) was running it. He looks just like Keitaro. When everyone was exploring the secret passages of Hinata, Keitaro found an old doll named "Moe." (Moe was derived from "Mome", the French word for doll, but the 2nd M was smudged.) Moe was bought by the Tokyo Imperial University (now is Tokyo U, they renamed it after they fell during WWII...I think or WWI) from the Paris Expo. Then T.I.U sold it to Keisuke during WWII (or WWI) in hopes that he will fix it. Keitaro found it at the same place a long time ago and promise to fix and marry her. Motoko said that on an item's 100th "birthday," it will move on its own. So, Su helped fix Moe's gears to "release" the spirit. SHE CAN WALK!! The only people that can "hear" Moe is Keitaro and Mutsumi. (Guess she can understand anything...lol.) After Naru thought that Moe could be the promise girl, she started to "hear" her also. Then after a last kiss for Keitaro....she "broke."

(Majority of episode is anime only, but the begining with Mutsumi getting a 100% on a practice exam is taken from the manga.)

Episode 21: Jealous Outburst? Two Lovebirds on a Boat: Tremble

Screenshot:

Keitaro and Naru go on a "date" because Keitaro got a B 60% on his mock exam. We see the first glimpse of Mei Narusegawa. Then Keitaro brings Naru to a picture sticker booth to commemorate the 6-month aniversary of the picture during the Kyoto trip. Then Mutsumi appears and they all go bowling. Even though Mutsumi is a no0b, Naru breaks out her personalized bowling ball and glove. Then they all head to Mutsumi's apartment to study under a kotatsu (heated table), and they fall asleep. We learn that the reason Mutsumi is going to Tokyo is because of a promise she made to a guy 15 years ago. Mutsumi and Keitaro go on a "date" and Naru, Mei, and Mitsune spy on them. Keitaro and Mutsumi go on a boat ride and then Naru starts to chase them. Then both of the boats crash into Mitsune's boat. When everyone was back in the dorm, Mei appears and says that she is here to bring Naru back home.

Episode 22: Little Sister Mei's Devious Plan: It Can't Be!

Screenshot:

We learn that Mei's father married Naru's mother and that Mei and Naru are not blood related. The first time their family got together, Naru was very sad. (I think this is the reason she went to Hinata.) Then it was time for the study group, but Mei locked Naru in her room. Then Keitaro and Mutsumi are stuck in the same room with the temperature up...also part of Mei's plan, but they all fail. So, she asked help from Mitsune. Mitsune didnt want to do it, but she likes a great show. Time for the Hinata Autum Potato Stew Party! Mei got Naru to dress like a nerd, while Mitsune got Mutsumi to wear a very revealing dress. Keitaro, Naru, and Mutsumi start singing the theme song for the Liddo-kun show, which is very lame. Keitaro took Mutsumi to a room because she got tipsy. Then Haruka realized that Mutsumi used to hang around Hinata a long time ago and that Keitaro and Mutsumi are distantly related. Mei found a picture of young Naru with Keitaro and a girl (Mutsumi?) playing in the sandbox in the background. Then we learn that the reason why Mei came to take Naru back because Mei wanted to study in Canada and the parents said no. Naru would go home and replace Mei while Mei is in Canada. While Naru was cleaning her Liddo-kun, she finds

Episode 23: Naru Narusegawa - Her Wavering Heart and Keitaro: Crushed

Screenshot:

Naru is in shock after finding all that evidence. Keitaro and Mutsumi go pick up their mock exam results. Mutsumi got an A, while Keitaro got an E. (Which is like an F becuase college grades go from A,B,C,D,E,I.) Shirai and Haitani find them and think they are on a date, and Mutsumi says that she loves Keitaro. Keitaro had to show his parents his scores, but Keitaro ran away. Then they Seta Van came in with Seta and Grandma Hina. Seta found Grandma Hina on "Antiguababoo." Grandma Hina started working on renovating Hinata Dorm and everyone had to go home for 2 days. Motoko went to her training camp, Shinobu went to her Mom's house, Su and Mitsune stayed with Haruka, Naru went home with Mei, AND Keitaro stayed with Mutsumi. Naru went to tell them about the picture, but found them on top of each other. Naru ran away, Keitaro chased after her, Naru kissed him and said "Good Luck," and Mutsumi remembers more info about the past and "Kei-kun."

Episode 24: Celebrate! Are the Blooming Flowers Tokyo U? Love? Everybody

Screenshot:

You see the end of episode 23 through Keitaro's point of view. Keitaro finds out that the promise girl is.. We learn that Naru's first word was "Tokyo U" and that Naru went to Hinata Inn to ease her asthma. Su goes to retrieve Keitaro with the help of the "Kentaro Robot," but fail. Motoko comes back from the training camp and helps out with the renovation. (Like turning a log into perfect cut boards with her sword.) Shinobu and Mitsune try to bring Naru back. Mitsune confesses about her past crush with Seta to Naru. Seta and Sara literally knock sense into Keitaro about Naru. Naru finds Keitaro at the sandbox and they make up. Then..

THE END!!! (of the regular Love Hina Anime episodes)

Episode 25: Motoko's Choice, Love or the Sword: Don't Cry

Screenshot:

(This episode was never aired. ITS A MOTOKO RELATED EPISODE!!! WHY?!?! It was an extra episode in the OVA DVDs.)

Naru went to go visit the family grave. Keitaro was going back to Hinata, then he was going to get runned over by Kentaro. Motoko came in and saved him, but it was actually Motoko's sister, Tsuruko. (This is her first appearance in the anime.) Motoko has a dream about her sister. (This is the origin about her fear of turtles and you hear my favorite scream! LOL!) The reason why Tsuruko came was to take Motoko back for her to take over the school. To prevent this from happening... It worked! But Tsuruko asked if they haved kissed or taken a bath together. Tsuruko found out about the truth and attacked Motoko and won. Now Motoko is not good enough to take over the school and is forced to live the life of a commom woman. Motoko started to act girly, but still had a hint of swordswoman in it. When she started to to run away, Keitaro went after her. Motoko started to fall and he caught her... Motoko got lost in the rain and Keitaro found her. Keitaro took care of her and that caused her to "go" for him. Keitaro decided to help out Motoko and gave her the possesed "Hina Sword." If they cant defeat Tsuruko in 3 days, they have to get married. (Not bad!!) Keitaro and Motoko drop into Naru and her family's prayer time. On the final day, Naru touched the cursed blade. Tsuruko is defeated.. Naru is defeated by... Tsuruko congradulates Motoko and Motoko is powerfull enough to get the school. Then Motoko says that she wants to take the university entrance exams. (Tokyo U?) (Tama looks funny when she touches the sword...lol.)

(This episode is extremelly similar to the manga. Except.. I wished they put that in there.)

This is my favorite Love Hina anime episode!!!

Christmas Special - Silent Eve

Screenshot:

We learn that the reason Mutsumi went to Hinata when she was small becasuse her mother helped around Hinata. Its December 21st....Christmas Season, but no time to stop studying for the 3 ronins. (The year in the anime is 2000, but the manga is 1999) There is a rumor going around that if two people confess their love on Christmas Eve, their love will be forever. Naru doesnt like the whole Christmas spirit thing because she is worried about the exam. Keitaro, Haitani, and Shirai work for a bakery to earn some extra cash. The next day, Su and Sara go gift hunting and finds a gift from Naru to someone with the word "love" in the letter. Everyone thinks its for Keitaro and Shinobu cracks and tells Keitaro about the letter. While Keitaro was celebrating....he sprained his ankle. While Keitaro was in bed, Naru visited him and thought she was going to confess... The next day, Naru went home to study and this is the final day for Keitaro's part-time job. Keitaro uses the money to ... Its Christmas Eve and time for the mock exam. (Who takes an exam on Christmas Eve?) The others wait for them, but see Naru running off with the gift and they go after her. Then Mutsumi and Keitaro come out and wonder where Naru went. They all go to Tokyo and see Naru giving the present to ... Keitaro and Shinobu goes on a date. Motoko gives Naru her present from Keitaro and Naru figues out why he was working part-time. While Motoko was on the train, someone groped her and she hit him...which landed her in the police station. Shinobu reads the letter to Keitaro and ... Naru and Keitaro are supposed to meet on a bridge, but Naru left her present on the train. (Its around 17:00) Now its around 9pm (21:00) and Naru wants to meet Keitaro in the train station. Shinobu and Mitsune have no money to get home...until Naru finds the gift, but couldnt get on the train, so she got help from Kentaro. While Keitaro was heading to the station he fell and was helped by... Motoko was roaming the streets by herself (Poor Motoko!) until her trio followers came by and invited her to a party. Naru gets the gift back and its now 11pm. (23:00) Su and Sara are in the same position as Shinobu and Mitsune. Su and Sara get a ride from.. Mutsumi told Keitaro that.. Now its 1130pm (23:30) and Keitaro and Naru try to find each other. 1150pm (23:50)...still no luck. (It just pi$$es me off that no one helps a fallen cripple guy!!) At the last minute.. Its now new years (New Millenium is 2001..according to the subs) and Keitaro got a... The End.

This special is mostly anime original, but some parts are taken from the manga...especially the ending credits of the new year.

Spring Special - I Wish Your Dream

Screenshot:

Someone confesses his love to Shinobu, but she like someone else...duh! Now its time for the final day of the Tokyo U exam. (What happened in the center exam? I gotta check back in the manga.) When it started.. He meets Seta and they go off to Pararakelse Island to find the lost Turtle Civilization. Keitaro jumps ship to go after his exam ticket, windes up on a island, and meets Nyamo. Naru finds out about Keitaro's where-abouts from a call from Seta and she goes to Pararakelse Island on Kentaro's rocket car. The others go see the exam results and... Shinobu, Mei, Sara, and Su go off to find Naru and Keitaro on Mecha-Tama v3. Mutsumi, Mitsune, and Motoko go and find Naru and Keitaro with the help from Akamatsu's A.I Love boat. Naru finds Keitaro and Nyamo running away. (Nyamo's song is very soothing.) Naru talks to Seta bout Nyamo and her grandpa. Nyamo's grandpa is Seta's mentor and he wanted to find "Paralantis" and he is either dead or missing. While Naru was going through Seta's picture book... Naru then chases Keitaro and Nyamo into the desert. Then they find an oasis. The reason why Keitaro is helping Nyamo is because she made a promise with her grandpa that she will find Paralantis. The Mecha-Tama v3 crash lands in the oasis and they get surrounded by turtles. And....they sing...how lame. Motoko, Mutsumi, and Mitsune are lost in the desert and find Kentaro and his rocket car. Then they meet up with Mecha-Tama v3 and the crew. Nyamo, Naru, and Keitaro find a big stone turtle and it starts to move. Everyone show up, but they cant stop the stone turtle. Then Nyamo starts to sing and the stone turtle broke apart and hundreads of real turtles come out and fly away. (WTF?) Everyone decides to go with Nyamo to find Paralantis, but Nyamo wants to go alone. Then they tell Naru and Keitaro... About the confession to Shinobu... Back to the desert...

THE END!!!! (Of the poorly drawn anime)

(This special is half anime original, half taken from manga. Overall...its a poor version of the manga. They missed sooooo many good parts.)

The main character of this special is..

Keitaro got a lot of sexy stuff for the girls, but it was from Seta for Haruka. Keitaro thought Kanako is a new resident becasue he hasn't seen her in a long time. Kanako desided to leave because he forgot about the promise, but she saw Keitaro being "cool" and decided to say and "fight" for Keitaro. The nexy day Naru sees Kanako and Keitaro... Kanako told everyone to do stuff...just to get rid of them. Keitaro sees.. Keitaro meditates under a waterfall and then Kanako comes in. They get close together and...

In the end, they all help her get to Keitaro. (Keitaro said that Kanako is afraid that everyone would leave her like her mom and dad did. That means that Kanako is adopted. BUT!!! Kanako said that Kietaro and Kanako are related though marriage. So which is it? Related though marriage or adoption? Well, the manga says adoption clearly, but the anime is just messed up about this situation.) Kanako... Naru finds Keitaro, but the Annex collapses. (So many damn gears!) Naru gets the ring off the clock, but it falls and Keitaro catches it which causes him to fall. Naru goes after him and.. When both of them land on a cushion...

(I don't know why Moe showed up after the Annex is demolished...she is so useless!)

THE END (Of all the Love Hina Anime...or is it?)

(The OVA is volume # in a nutshell, but they missed so many good/important parts. The drawings REALLY improved compared to the original TV series...and I just LOVE it!! I wish the studio who did the OVA did the TV series also and any other future Love Hina anime)

That is it for the Love Hina anime summaries. Overall, the anime is crap compared to the manga. The anime has bad drawings and bad interpretations of the manga. don't WATCH THE ENGLISH VERSION!!! The only good voice actors for the English version is Keitaro and Su because they kept the overall personality of the characters though the voices. Mitsune has the worst english voice and almost everyone has bad acting skills. (Like english Motoko ) The English script changed the original for the worst! ALWAYS WATCH THE JAPANESE VERSION!! Very dissapointed. Its been a blast! Now I might summarize the GTO anime episodes!
