Magical girls...an alligator...flying turtles...why not!?, June 26, 2002
Part 3 in the Love Hina series...it's still funny, but the story can get a bit silly. This release shows the Hinata turtle flying, a tame alligator named Shiro, a giant metal turtle that tries to eat the apartments, and magical girls transformations. We see that Kitsune is a prankster. The relationship between Keitaro and Naru grows with Keitaro voicing his feeling outright and Naru showing that she likes having him around. Su's background is covered vaguely as her sister arrives in town and we learn that Su left her homeland to get away from something. We learn that Naru can sing. Motoko learns that her "chi" (inner strength) is only defeated by her own fears. Unfortunately, the english dub is still the achilles heel. (I'd stick to the Japanese track and use subtitles.) Other than that, this installment was not a disappointment. It ties into the previous episodes, and it still brings out a laugh.

Hang in there, it gets better again!, July 9, 2002
The first episodes were awesome, but then it diverges from the main plot with a series of episodes full of wild antics having little to do with the main story. If you bare with these the last episodes are even better than the first, and the two specials are absolutely amazing. And when someone releases Love Hina Again, the OVA, in America and one gets to watch those, one can't argue against Love Hina being one of the top 10, if not 5 greatest anime of all time.

Red Moon Kaolla and others, January 4, 2003
This disc starts off kind of bad. The first episode really isn't very good, and I wasn't particularly interested by it. However, the second episode is easily one of my favorites. When the moon turns red, Kaolla transforms into an older version of herself. Kaolla's sister, Amalla Su, shows up at Hinata Hot Springs to deal with her little sister's transformation by getting rid of the man who is causing it: Keitaro! (he reminds Kaolla of her older brother) Amalla Su has a white alligator named Shiro as a pet. Yes, you heard me, she has a white alligator! The third episode has Naru becoming an idol singer (and she sings a nice song in the episode). Sure, it's wierd when you watch an English dub and the singing is still Japanese, but at least the songs are there even in the English version The last episode has everyone learn that Motoko is afraid of turtles, including the resident flying and talking Tama. This leads ultimately to a giant robot turtle attacking the Hinata Apartments. These are mostly filler episodes, but entertaining nonetheless. If for nothing else, buy this for the Red Moon Kaolla episode!
