Review:

Enter an idiot of a guy by the name of Keitaro, a guy who seems to fail all exams for entering the infamous Tokyo University and in need of cash, and make him the manager of an all-girl's inn which is full of girls of different personalities and you get an anime which will guarantee to result in the viewer being reduced to hysterics.

Love Hina follows the life of Keitaro, a 20 yr old male student who has failed 3 times to get into the very hard and academic University of Tokyo. Why does he try so many times to do something that seems impossible for him? The basic plot is that Keitaro is trying to enter the University due to a promise he made to his child-hood sweetheart to meet her at Tokyo University in the future. The thing is that Keitaro forgets the name and basic looks of the girl, so he's in a dead end. Keitaro is than made to look after the Hinata Sou Inn, which is an all-girl's inn belonging to his grandmother.

Poor Keitaro is just a person that the girls pick on constantly. The reason being is that Keitaro is really clumsy and is a pervert, so of course the girls pick on him! Keitaro also has the biggest heart and is a very nice guy, and that's what makes you really sympathise with Keitaro's character. He doesn't mean half the things that he does to the girls, and when he attempts to apologize, his actions make the situation even worse! ^^;; Even though Keitaro tries to keep his promise to his child-hood sweetheart, he finds himself falling for a girl by the name of Narusegawa, at the inn. Hence, the story has it's twists and turns, which will leave the audience guessing at what will happen next.

The character designs in this anime are done very well. Each character is clearly defined and unique, which adds to the effect of this particular anime. In my honest opinion, I think that Love Hina is a unique anime. It's funny, the episodes are so different but the anime as a whole still retains it's original plot. A good anime to go and watch, and quite a recent anime as well.
