I remember watching an Love Hina Concert in Osaka with all the voice seiyuus were singing the songs from the anime, they even had a little Otohime Mutsumi skit. It would be interesting to see the voice seiyuus to do a live-action based on the manga/anime series.

Also Sailor Moon live action isnt so bad, once u get used to all the cheesy dialog and phony attack scenes you'll get hooked. lol

Love hina was AWSOME, Love hina again was a good VERY good conclusion to the anime, closes off ALOT of loose ends

The manga was so much better tho

SirCanealot · 2003-12-29, 10:32

Just buy the damn manga. TokyoPops version isn't THAT bad. After the manga you relise how much the anime sucks anyhoo.

did a search on this and found nothing so just wondering...

thx

Well with the end of the three Spring Specials, they exhausted all the story left in the manga. What you say did, in fact, happen and as such there's not much more room for them to make a story without conjuring up more events out of thin air (as opposed to having a manga basis.)

Besides, Akamatsu's moved on to better things and they're animating that.

no, they're probably not going to animate anymore Love Hina
if they do, it wouldn't be more than an OVA or a movie, since the only real story left is the Molmol "vacation", Motoko's "final battle" with her sister, and the last appearance of Nyamo (which wouldn't work, since in the manga she shows up with a job offer for Keitaro, and in the anime she's wandering around looking for her grandfather)
besides, as said above, since the end of Love Hina, Akamatsu started work on another new anime and manga (Mao-chan and Negima respectively) and is probably currently working on the new Negima anime OVA or TV series or whatever they're doing as well

Xikius · 2004-06-11, 16:22

actually, Naru is a guest star in one of the Mao-Chan episodes (early twenties, i believe). takes place a couple years after the manga ending in Love Hina. this is the basic goings-on of it:

So true, Amen brother, Amen.

*note I went to the serious discussion page first and I didn't see a Love Hina. Maybe it's hiding but I couldn't see it*

ok, I just watched episode 28. And

Spoiler:

Technovia_EX · 2004-07-12, 20:10

Episode 28? I don't think there is one. It's up to 25, then 2 specials (Spring/Christmas) and Love Hina Again OVA.

ok this is what i've seen.

28 episodes. there was a christmas special, I guess their was a spring

Spoiler:

I always thought the series ended in 24 eps, and had 4 ova's(love hina again).

Either way, what's the ending??

and who's the girl from the promise?

Technovia_EX · 2004-07-12, 20:15

My mistake on the post above, I fixed it from 26 to 25. Anyway, you couldn't figure who the girl out from the promise yourself

?

And there was only one OVA, Love Hina Again, which had three episodes.

And if you read the manga, the ending is a bit more clear.

NarutoHead · 2004-07-13, 03:16

well there was a wierd episode

Spoiler:

but if it was, I don't get it, why didn't they spend more time on it?

was the message from the show that It didn't matter?

25 eps?? man im so confused.

from what I watched

the series ended in 24 eps. There was a episode 25 but

Spoiler:

.

Then there was 26 the xmas special. Is this one suppose to take place before or after 1-25?? It's wierd if someone could explain it well i'd greatly appreciate it.

27 was the jungle episode.

Spoiler:

.

I'm so confused and I luv'd the series too so I'd really like to know.

do the OVa's follow a season 2?

NarutoHead · 2004-07-13, 03:38

then there's the dream in episode 08

Spoiler:

.

DarkCntry · 2004-07-13, 03:40

As far as I know...

Spoiler:

I think they did a good job at twisting it into making you really think at who the girl really was though.

WHO THE HELL IS IT?? DOES ANYONE KNOW?

eobert · 2004-07-13, 07:58

It couldn't have been Motoko. Naru was only 2 when the promise happened, and Motoko is even younger than she is. Motoko simply falls for Keitaro for her own reasons.

It sounds like you haven't seen Love Hina Again. I recommend you watch it. It's the closest thing to closure the anime gets. Even better would be to read the manga. I think the manga handled the story and its resolution much better than the anime did.

7thMethuselah · 2004-07-13, 08:36

to clear up a bunch of things

Love Hina

Regular season : 24 episodes

"episode 25" : Motoko episode which is only featured on the DVD's only

Spring special OVA

Christmas special OVA

"episode 28" : a RECAP episode, no more no less

Love Hina Again : 3 OVA

That is all there is to Love Hina. If you wanna know how the story continues after Love Hina Again, buy the manga.

To answer some other questions about the promised girl, this wasn't properly explained in the anime, you need to read the manga for it.

Maybe it's hiding but I couldn't see it ok, I just watched episode 28. And Spoiler: I got a 25 minute summary. Nothing new? Is that it?? Also, does it ever say who that girl was? or hint at it?? Man it sucked cuz I thought i had 1 more new ep to watch and I ended skippin over 10 mins of it. loved the series though

NarutoHead Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: MN	well there was a wierd episode Spoiler: was it Motoko? Cuz she had a flashback to that moment. but if it was, I don't get it, why didn't they spend more time on it? was the message from the show that It didn't matter? 25 eps?? man im so confused. from what I watched the series ended in 24 eps. There was a episode 25 but Spoiler: ok nothing really happens. Motoki gets to stay wow. I mean ep 24 had Kaitero's confession! Wasn't that really the last ep?" . Then there was 26 the xmas special. Is this one suppose to take place before or after 1-25?? It's wierd if someone could explain it well i'd greatly appreciate it. 27 was the jungle episode. Spoiler: this seemed to take place after 1-25 because it has news of both Naru and Kaitero making it into Toudi. Episode 28 was just a big huge summary of everything, NOTHING NEW. . I'm so confused and I luv'd the series too so I'd really like to know. do the OVa's follow a season 2?

DarkCntry Blue Dawn Join Date: Jun 2004 Age: 44	As far as I know... Spoiler: The girl is, indeed, Naru...they hinted to this several times towards the end of both the original series and the LHA OVA set. The fact that Mutsumi said that she overheard Keitaro saying the promise is a dead giveaway. Coupling this with the origins of Naru's favorite stuffed animal and you have a pretty good idea as to who the girl really is. I think they did a good job at twisting it into making you really think at who the girl really was though.

To answer some other questions about the promised girl, this wasn't properly explained in the anime, you need to read the manga for it. warning major spoiler, be warned Spoiler: if I remember correctly it goes as follows: When they are kids Keitaro and Mutsumi are spending vacation at Hinata together. Later during that vacation they get joined by Naru (which is 2 at the time). Keitaro and Naru play together and hear the story about Todai. KEITARO AND NARU make the promise to got to Todai together. Mutsumi learns about the promise. Mutsumi and naru are both after Keitaro and decide to play rock paper scissors over it, which is lost deliberatelly by Mutsumi. Mutsumi and Naru then make a promise to go to Todai together as well. This because Mutsumi says she loves them both and wants to watch over them. Later when Naru is 16 or so she promises to Seta to go to Todai as well, so all of these promises are kinda blurring the anime In short Naru is Keitaro's promised girl.
