Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Consternation reigns, as this romantic farce concludes (except for the 25th episode, which is included with the Christmas Movie). Years ago, did Keitaro actually promise to attend Tokyo University with Mutsumi, rather than Naru? Circumstantial evidence suggests he did, which increases tensions among the characters. Further complications ensue when Keitaro blows his entrance exam yet again, and his grandmother returns from her travels. If she resumes her place as manager of the Hinata Apartments, what will become of Keitaro? When he goes off to brood by himself, the other members of the cast reflect on how much their favorite goofball has come to mean to them, despite his flaws. Everyone may not live happily after, but they eventually settle matters in a way that's appropriate to the story--and that leaves open the possibility of future sequels. (Rated 13 and older: comic violence, risqué humor, brief nudity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing ending, if you can even call it that, April 13, 2003

This review is from: Love Hina, Volume 6: And the Winner is... (Episodes 21-24) (DVD)

When I saw these episodes...I was truly amazed. The show changes to an intense romantic ending in the final 2 episodes, although there is still subtle comedic reliefs, much more so in the episodes before the final 2. These episodes are mainly about Naru, Mutsumi, and Keitaro. They're about who the girl that Keitaro promised to was and true feelings are finally exposed. A powerful ending (if you can even call it that...you'll see what I mean once you watch this) to a wonderful series that leaves much room for additions. You most likely will have the need to immidiately buy the christmas special, spring special, and love hina again ova's once you finish the tv series. But, these specials and ova's don't really finish the series...the only way to see the ending is to purchase the Love Hina Mangas, which will complete their american translations late 2003, and characters have more depth to them in addition to the finale of the series. All well worth your money...but don't forget to watch/read them all in order!

5.0 out of 5 stars yet more Mutsumi goodness!, January 4, 2003

This review is from: Love Hina, Volume 6: And the Winner is... (Episodes 21-24) (DVD)

Mutsumi is in this volume more than any other time in the whole anime, even the parts we haven't gotten yet (the Spring Special and the three-episode OVA, Love Hina Again). Thus, I like it. In the first episode, Naru and Keitaro end up on a date of sorts, which a little girl is none too happy about. Mutsumi and Keitaro then end up on a date and Naru spies on them the whole way and ends up in a boat chase with them. (yes, a boat chase.)
In the next episode Naru's stepsister Mei, who arrived at the end of the previous episode, tries to get Keitaro and Mutsumi together so that Naru will come home with her. This leads to some odd plans from Mei, all of which ultimately fail.
The last two episodes of the TV series (episode 25 doesn't count) involve the promised girl. Though the anime never really reveals who she is, the manga apparently does. (I won't tell, though.) Granny Hina comes back and decides to remodel the Apartments. Thus, everyone has to move out for a few days. This gives Naru a chance to reflect on her relationship with Keitaro. The ending of the TV series really leaves a lot to be desired (and even the ending of the OVAs doesn't complete the story) but it's still quite entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice ending, October 4, 2002

This review is from: Love Hina, Volume 6: And the Winner is... (Episodes 21-24) (DVD)

As the saga of Love Hina comes to an end, we are left feeling happy yet unfulfilled. If you have seen the whole manga, you know this is not the end, instead this DVd takes us up to about the 10th volume of the manga (out of 14). Still the Naru, Mitsumi, and Keitaro love epic seems to be coming to a close. WHo gets him in the end, and who does he pick. Well that's simple it's... no that would be telling. If you were a fan of the shows slapstick and perverted comedy so far, you won't be dissappointed. Keep watching!
