Episode #1: All-Girls Dorm with Outdoor Bath: Hot Springs

Sceenshot:
user posted image The first Naru and Keitaro upclose with no punching...utill others show..lol


The first episode! This is the introduction of Keitaro and the "Promise." He is 20 years old, but he starts off as 19 in the manga. His grandma left Keitaro her All Girl's Dorm, but Keitaro doesnt know it was all girls. So he went to go see her, but there was no one inside. He found a hot springs and went in. Then a girl (Naru) came in, but she though he was someone else. Touching and feeling happened....hehe. Keitaro met all of the characters, except Motoko who left for a trip. (See the bio's section to see who the main characters are.) Episode 1 covers only 50% of part 1 of volume 1 of the manga.

This is a unique episode. I havent seen this story in the manga. This is when Shinobu moves into Hinata Dorm becuase her parents divorced and thier restaurant closed. There was a battle on who she will live with, but Shinobu wants to say Hinata Dorm. Shinobu starts to have a little crush on Keitaro. Keitaro's deal with her is to cook becuase Su cooks way too much curry, Mitsune doesnt cook, and Naru's cooking looks like crap....yet tastes good (Thats what it says in the manga.)

Episode #3: Kendo Girl in Love?: Swordplay

The episode starts off like an old silent movie. Very funny....yet lame. It shows the history of Motoko in her swordsman school. Then the movie goes into Keitaro's grade in prep school....0%!!! Finally sound!!! Motoko is followed by a group of girls, and Keitaro ad co. try to hit on them. (In the manga, Motoko is with Su and Naru). This is the first time Motoko saw Keitaro, and also the first time she has ever stared at a man.....so she turns red. The scene with the 3 old guys is an anime original. They never show up in the manga....to my knowledge. Motoko challenges Keitaro to a duel, but she got sick and was unable to fight. While Motoko is resting.....she figures out that Keitaro is her first love. I love it when Motoko screams (the japanese audio) because its so kawaii..and very high pitched.

Keitaro tries to repair the hole between Naru and his room, then stumbles upon her dairy and sees the words, "15 years ago.....promise.....todai." Hmmmm. Now it is time for the Preiminary Exams so see what university they can get into. Keitaro got the first 3 questions wrong....and gave up! So he wants to go back home, but left everything @ Hinata. SO he went back and everyone though he was stealing stuff. He ran away to see Todai for the last time, then Naru found him. At the end, Keitaro passed the exam by a small margin!

The first appearances of Mutsumi, Tama, and Seta. Time for the real Toudai exams....and they both fail. Keitaro learns that Naru isnt the promise girl. To vent some steam, they both go to Kyoto, but they didnt know they were going the same way. Then the bump into each other and break thier glasses. So, they started to hang out and have fun.....even though they don't ask who they are. Keitaro gets his first sticker picture with a girl...and its Naru AND they still don't know about each other! After they have to share a room, they finally find out about each other. (The blind date lasts longer in the anime than the manga, the episode is very similar to the manga.)

I like to add a comment: The graphics in the anime is far worse than the manga. Its so sad....

user posted imageTama!!


Everyone sets out to find Naru and Keitaro because they think they are eloping. Naru and Keitaro bump into Mutsumi and help her get home. (They meet her in a train station (anime) instead of the ship (manga), but they still go on a ship in the anime.) Naru says that: Mutsumi = Keitaro. Keitaro and co. are going to Okinawa, but go the wrong way. Everyone else is going the wrong way also. (In the manga, Keitaro and co. go the right way, while the others go the wrong way...like a whole Japan tour.) When they get stranded on an island, Keitaro gets his first kiss from Mutsumi. When Naru and Keitaro are about to kiss.....everyone shows up on a ship. Then Mutsumi notices that the island is her backyard. Then to show her gratitude, Mutsumi gave a gift to Keitaro (Tama), and a kiss to Naru. (Which is her first kiss.)

This episode is very similar to the manga, but there are many rearangements and merges of the scenes.

Episode #7: First Date. Keitaro's True Feelings: Nowadays

Its Naru's graduation ceremony. When Naru is late, Kentaro (a unique character only in the anime) comes to take her in drill/flying ship. Keitaro gets his hand on some tickets for a grand opening of a theme park. He wants to ask Naru out, but Kentaro gets some tickets and wants to ask Naru also. To settle this battle, Su makes a V.R game to see who can impress Naru. Kentaro passes because he classifies all girls and knows how Naru will react. Even though Kentaro passes and asks Naru out, Naru turns him down. Naru already had a plan to go to the park with everyone!

Theres major confusion between the name "Keitaro" and "Kentaro." So, Kentaro keeps pointing to his name on the screen. I think Kentaro is the opposite of Keitaro. (Look @ the bio page for more info...when I add him.)

Keitaro finds an old console game and starts playing with everyone, except Motoko. When Motoko starts to meditate, she get into a dream thats like the videogame. At the end, she learns to have more fun with the group or bring out the kid inside.

In the manga, Keitaro has the dream when he is sick. There is no videogame involved, and its about a book instead. Some of the symbols in the dream don't make sense...but they explain it in the manga.

The plot of this episode is what the title says. This episode is derived from the manga part where Naru and Keitaro were trying to find Tama. Both in the anime and manga, Keitaro and Naru take a whole Hinata Apt. tour and we get to see everyone's room.

Other than searching for the $, Naru was also trying to find something.

Wo0t!!! Another Motoko episode!! We find out that Motoko has a phobia for turtles...lol!! I love it when she screams!! Since Motoko had all her clothes washed, she has nothing to wear. So, she borrowed a dress from Haruka. Haruka and dresses??? They don't match! Keitaro and Tama stopped her sword with the bare hand techinque. When they found out that Tama was stealing stuff, they set out to find her. Tama is attracted my Motoko's feminity..even though Tama is a girl. But it was a mech Tama stealing all the stuff and it turned into a Godzilla Tama. It had a power cord power supply and a whole lot of AA batteries as a back up. @ the end, Motoko learns that no matter what she wears, she will still be Motoko.

Keitaro sees Motoko totally in the nude....lucky!! LOL!!

The plot is that Motoko doesnt want to end up like her sister, who got married and lost the purpose to yeild a sword.

The anime is taken out of many parts from the manga. In the manga, Motoko wore women clothes because she lost a bet to Keitaro.

It first kissed Mitsune (its was her first kiss in a while.) then it kissed Motoko (which was her first). Akiko offered to kiss Shinobu....right. Then Su made a v2.0 which becomes a helmet for Keitaro and makes him kiss the first thing he sees...Shinobu. Then Su kissed Shinobu!

There was a short scene with Seta in his car....

The anime only plot is that Su wanted to become better friends with Shinobu. Su asked Akiko for info, which led Shinobu to hate Su. At the end, they all make up.

LOL!! But he quit. Mitsume worked as a roaming fortune teller and had Keitaro pay her debts. After meeting with the "fortune teller," Keitaro ran into a pond to "cleans" himself and then met Seta and Sara. Seta offered a job to Keitaro to be his assistant. Naru worked as a cheerleader, part of a pep squad, comedy club, nusing club, costume club, then a delivery girl. Mitsune followed Naru most of the time to keep her from seeing Seta. Motoko worked as a trainer for a fensing team. Su worked as a server debugger. Shinobu worked as a mobile bento (lunch box) vendor. When Naru was delivering some bento, she picked up the scense of Seta's cigarette...which she knows as soothing.

Another Motoko related episode! It was her first assignment to get rid of an evil sprit on a ship. Keitaro's friends make up a plan to take all the girls to that ship so they can get "lucky." The evil spirit was contained in a necklace and it possesed Naru and one of the three followers of Motoko. (The three girls are anime only characters.) There is only one technique to get rid of the evil spirit without harming the host, and Motoko trys it out on Keitaro and fails many times. Seta gives her the idea that "you can do anything if you have love for that person." At the end, Keitaro gets rid of the spirit. Motoko personality grows by oppening her heart to others and she starts to wear more girly clothes. The spirit is an evil version of Motoko because they both have hate towards men. (Various manga parts were put together to form this episode.

Su and Amalla are sisters. Lamba needs to marry Su so he can become King and avoid being drafted. Lamba can look exactly like Keitaro, so the girls think that Keitaro changed into a cool guy...without any perverted thoughts. Su didnt want to marry Lamba beacuse she still sees him as her brother. And she revealed that Amalla cares for him more than she did. So, Lamba married Amalla. (We didnt see that happen, but Im sure they got married.) (The overall plot of this episode is a "anime only."

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."

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.

Screenshot:
user posted imageLOL!!! Keitaro's face


(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...
she went for Keitaro and said that she is going to marry him.
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...
panties, which revealed Motoko's bare @$$.
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.
"The Cursed Blade of Hina" took a lot of people from the God's Cry school to seal it and it almost put Kyoto to the brink of destuction.
Tsuruko is defeated..
by a kiss from Naru because she sucked her life force.
Naru is defeated by...
a kiss from Keitaro and then Motoko sealed the sword.
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..
Keitaro got possesed (not Naru) and he was defeated by a kiss from Motoko
I wished they put that in there.)

This is my favorite Love Hina anime episode!!!

Christmas Special - Silent Eve

Screenshot:
user posted imageNaru on the jumbo-tron


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...
but she didnt, so Keitaro confessed his love to her and Naru runs away.
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 ...
buy a red jacket. For Naru?
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 ...
SETA!!! Keitaro sees this and walks away.
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 ...
its not a love letter for Seta, but a "I used to love you" type thing.
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
Mr. Akamatsu arrives and gives them a job to sell his books. They look like Love Hina or A.I Love books.
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...
Mutsumi, and she took him to a "love-love" hotel.
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..
"Yasuharu Maehara", who is Shinobu's dad.
Mutsumi told Keitaro that..
she is not the one that he made the promise to 15 years ago. She heard about the promise from someone, but forgot who.
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..
Naru used the jumbo-tron (the big tvs on the buildings) to confess her love for Keitaro (sorta), and she wants to go to Tokyo U together.
Its now new years (New Millenium is 2001..according to the subs) and Keitaro got a...
B on the mock exams.
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:
user posted imageLa la la la....


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..
Keitaro knew everthing and started to day dream. When he woke up...there was only 5 minutes left. Then he ran away and saw a job on a ship.
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...
Mutsumi and Naru passes. Then they all stare at something while looking for Keitaro's name.
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...
She finds a pic of Seta and Haruka hugging, and its very similar to the one in the manga. I think the volume after the Spring one. Seta then talks about Haruka and Sara's mom....for about a few seconds. This is one of the few moments in the Love Hina anime where we learn about Seta's love live.
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...
that they both got into Tokyo U. (The celebration is crap compared to the manga version.) But Mutsumi said that they have to turn in some paper work the next day or else the acceptance is nullified.
About the confession to Shinobu...
she declines because she likes someone else, but that someone like someone else.
Back to the desert...
Shinobu asks Naru how she feels about Keitaro and she said she loves him.


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..
Shinobu and how she grows.

July: Keitaro goes overseas. August: A stange lady in black appears @ Hinata and the residents get a letter from Keitaro. Haitani and Shirai see Motoko holding a Sakaki Prep School book. (Tokyo U?)

Then "Naru" feels up on Mitsune's boobs...and then Naru's boobs grow. "Naru" throws out all of Su and Sara's stuff. Then "Naru" teaches Shinobu about wearing grown-up stuff.

Love Hina Again OVA: Part 2 - Keitaro

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...
sleeping together...but "Keitaro" was just Keitaro's blanket and a wig.
Kanako told everyone to do stuff...just to get rid of them. Keitaro sees..
Kanako naked (lol!) and wonders where everyone is. So...he goes to everyone's room and sees Kanako dressed as the person with half of her clothes on. [Kanako dresses like Motoko in Motoko's room and Kanako dresses like Su in Su's room...etc.]
Keitaro meditates under a waterfall and then Kanako comes in. They get close together and...
Naru comes falling in and takes of Kanako's fake boob enhancers.
Keitaro starts acting sauve towards Naru, but he is also in his private bath. Then Naru comes to the private bath and asks him about Kanako. Naru in the hotsprings finds out that Keitaro ...
is Mutsumi
and Keitaro finds out Naru in his private bath is..
Kanako and she asks a favor to shampoo his hair to remember something.
Kentaro gave Keitaro the key to the abandoned Annex (aka "Cupid Inn") so he can..
tell his true feelings to Naru, but Kanako showed up and the power of the Annex helps Kanako stay with Keitaro. There is a ring involved! (Engagement?)

Love Hina Again OVA: Part 3 - Naru

user posted imageSealed with a kiss.


Moe shows Kietaro his past promise with Kanako in his dream which is..
to go into the Annex with Kanako and live happily ever after.
Then Moe shows Naru in her dream..
Keitaro and Kanako fullfilling their promise together.
Naru couldnt find the gift Keitaro gave her! Kanako dresses Keitaro like a Goth, but Naru couldnt even get close to them. (Becuase of the power of the Annex?) Then Naru...
sees the ring on the Annex's clock tower...
but Motoko and Su attack her. (Another one of the Annex's doing?) Then the Hinata girls hold a meeting about Naru's true feelings for Keitaro and Naru...
"bolts" away.
Kentaro finds Naru and starts talking to her about Keitaro but..
Kentaro is Kanako and Naru and Kanako start fighting by having each other's thumbs in the other's mouth.
Then Keitaro sees Naru and starts chasing after her and..
Keitaro calls Naru Kanako..and it is Kananko. Then the Annex calls on Keitaro and Kanako and they go flying there.
Naru goes to the Annex to find Keitaro, but Mutsumi, Mitsune, Su, Motoko, and Shinbou try to stop her. 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...
kissed Keitaro and let him have Naru.
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..
says that she loves him and the Annex is demolished.
When both of them land on a cushion...
Naru confesses her love for Keitaro many times. Then Keitaro gives the ring to Naru and they REALLY kiss.
The others see this and they start to chase after them. Seta comes in with a plane and picks up Keitaro. So, Naru uses Tama to get to the plane. They asks Seta to take them to...
Tokyo U!!
(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!
