Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The course of true love seldom runs smooth--especially at the Hinata Apartments. The residents of the building find they're broke and the bills are due, so they need to make some money in a hurry. The hapless Keitaro finds a job babysitting the thoroughly obnoxious adopted daughter of Noriyasu Seta, a dashing Indiana Jonesesque professor of archeology at Tokyo University. Naru nurtured a crush on Mr. Seta several years ago, when he was her tutor. Keitaro and the rest of the group assume Naru is still in love with him, despite her insistence that she isn't. The romantic misunderstandings reach an outrageous climax when the cast stages a slapstick adaptation of the classic Chinese novel The Journey to the West, which brings down the house--and much of the theater--when they accidentally uncork a hidden hot spring. Rated 13 Up: Comic violence, risqué humor, brief nudity, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting better!, September 15, 2002

By	Alexander Batey "doowop lover" (Jamaica, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw the fourth installment of Love Hina and the series is starting to pick up. See Shinobu learn how to kiss! See the great play "Monkey's Journey To The West" turn to chaos by the Love Hina gang! See the lost Turtle empire! All this and more punishment for Keitaro. By the way,Kitsune is from the Kansei region of Japan,where Osaka and Kyoto are. The people there speak Japanese a little differently:Sainara for Sayanara. So Kitsune got the Southern accent so she would stand out vocally. Got It?

4.0 out of 5 stars Summer time..., March 14, 2004

By	Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Kissing, ancient turtle civilizations, the return of an old flame and plays by the seashore. Sounds harmless, right? But what if it's Kaolla trying to kiss other girls? And what if that civilization is still around and not so ancient? And what if that old flame happens to be a Tokyo U Professor Naru had very strong feelings for?
I won't even get into details about the play,'Journey To The West', that seems to do more damage than a atomic bomb.
Best part of the DVD is the extra, 'The Making of Love Hina', starring Wendee Lee - voice actress and ADR director. But even then I could only give it four stars. The episodes are starting to get old.
