Su is the attention deficit, hyperactive exchange girl living at the Hinata dorms. She apparently is a mechanical genious, constantly building things that bring trouble to Keitaro...

Keitaro Urashima

Keitaro is a 20 year old boy set on getting into Tokyo University to fulfill a promise he made to a girl 15 years ago. In the meantime, he's tried and failed the entrance exams 3 times and acquired a job as manager of his grandmother's all girl dormitory. He also started developing feelings for Naru..

Mitsune Konno (Kitsune)

Kitsune is a crazy girl who basically does what entertains her. She has a devious streak to her, but is pretty easy going.

Motoko Aoyama

Motoko is Kendo girl. Legend has it that she is of the swordsman lineage that fought evil spirits in Kyoto many years ago. She trains constantly and has no time for distractions like boys.

Naru Narusegawa

Naru is one of the particularly violent girls at Hinata dorms who becomes the main love interest of Keitaro as they study to get in to Tokyo University. As Keitaro has a tendency to unintentionally do perverted things, Naru is quick to strike out violently to show her disapproval. She also tries very hard to control her feelings for Keitaro.

Shinobu Maehara

Shinobu joined the Hinata group when her parents divorced and decided to move out of town. Shinobu was devastated and decide she wanted to live at Hinata apartments. She has that sweet, innocent, younger girl feel to her and is probably the best cook in the house.

Love Hina

Love Hina
Publisher: Bandai Entertainment
Type of Anime: TV
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Schoolkids
Watched Subbed/Dubbed: Subbed

When Keitaro was five, he made a promise to a neighborhood girl that when they grew up, they would meet at Tokyo University and live happily ever after. The girl then moved away and Keitaro forgot her name, but not the promise they made. Fifteen years later, Keitaro has tried and failed to pass the entrance exams into Tokyo University several times. His parents are ready to kick him out of the house, and he has all but given up hope of getting in.

Then, one day, Keitaro's grandmother, who owns an all girls dormitory, decides she no longer wants to manage it. The job is dropped in Keitaro's lap and he becomes the new manager, to the dismay of the girls living there. The anime follows Keitaro in his quest to fulfill the promise he made to the girl fifteen years ago as well as to be accepted (and not killed) by the five girls living in the dorm - yes, you know the routine... five women, one man...

But Love Hina for the most part is quite enjoyable, although the love aspect of it has that violent Ranma style of comedy to it that does get old occasionally.

The animation is pretty decent - very well drawn with a mix of highly detailed scenes and crazy, exaggerated deformation style whenever something violent happens.

The character development is interesting, although a bit predictable given the storyline. I like most of the characters - they each have something to add to the story to round things out.
