Love Hina Episode 24 Discussion

sooo,who was the girl Keitaro made the promise with after all? was it Naru?
I like the ending,Naru blasting Keitaro...again XD
I'm giving this Anime....probably a 10^^

So.. in the end almost nothing is resolved, we're basically back to square one. I guess it's not that important, but it would be nice to have a bit more closure in a series, oh well. Finally finished the series after putting on hold for months and I would say it was okay, nothing really great. Debating if I should give this a 6 or a 7.

Felt like watching this again today.

This is the sweetest anime episode I have ever seen in my life. It makes me cry.

Naru x Keitaro, best couple ever. Keitaro mans up, he's not like modern harem boys.

Looks like my sentiments are not shared by many. This was the first anime I ever saw, and still among the best.

Yes, it was inconclusive. I did find Love Hina Again enjoyable though, and this is the only anime I ever read the manga for to get a conclusion.


I hear you. I thought it was an extremely good story and show.

@CarbonMD : well u r not the only one..
Also agree on "today's harem boy", it is one of the reason why I rewatched my most fav anime bcz it is hard to find a good anime today..
While u got mixed of romance, ecchi, a little bit of drama N also fun to watch..

Next I am planning to rewatch "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien" ~
To fill my romance, drama meters 😅

This show was a lot of fun. Lots of great fanservice. Magic ancient alien turtles. A dreamlike town with wistful council elders. Magical girls, giant robots, ghosts, clockwork dolls, and samurai.

Shinobu is unbearably sweet. It's really a shame she doesn't stand a chance. I missed Taichi, and I was looking forward to her eventually stealing Shinobu's kiss. Su is a wild girl through and through. You never know what mayhem she'll get up to. Gifted in technology but dumb as a doorknob otherwise. Motoko is badass, and I really wanted to see a route with her. Mitsune is a wily troublemaker. I was hoping the aunt would get together with Seta. Sara was as cruel as they come; she really deserved that spanking! Mei was adorable. The Moe subplot reminded me of Rozen Maiden. Great characters with tons of chemistry.

I wasn't sure who I was rooting for until the end. Naru is the obvious choice, but she's just so thoroughly mean to him throughout the entire show. She doesn't even confess to him at the end, beyond that kiss. Would it kill her to say she likes him? It was nice that she actually made the promise though.

Keitarou confessed Naru's feelings to Seta because he knew she wouldn't. He didn't want her to wonder what would've happened if she had and just settled for him instead. Which makes it honestly pretty mean of Naru to not immediately tell Keitarou and Mitsume that they were searching for each other. And then to still bash him constantly, after ruining their first date, and refuse to admit she was jealous.

Mitsume is the second option. They seem made for each other, like two peas in a pod. Their union might be disastrous though; they might end up in the arctic trying to go on vacation :p. But she's nice and will treat him very well.

I definitely have issues with the final theme. I don't think it would've been wrong for Keitarou to settle for Mitsume. He wouldn't have even been cheating on her. Especially considering Naru openly attempted to go out with Kentarou at the prospect of a cheap outing that she insisted was NOT a date. And both girls admitted it would be fine if he didn't get into Tokyo U. It doesn't make you a scoundrel to ditch the girl that's abusing you.

8/10. I would have liked to see the routes for the other girls fleshed out a little more, even just as what-ifs or an episode or two. And of course there's no real conclusion to anything yet.

On to the specials and OVAs!

Update:
Back from the specials. So I guess there isn't a confirmed promise-ee yet after all. I don't know why the recap is called Final Selection when it's just the show's ending.

Christmas special was overhyped, and I didn't care for it. Naru was just too much of a bitch the entire time, for her speech at the end to really sway me. The island special was fun, but there wasn't nearly enough fanservice. Only Naru and Nyome had swimsuits!

The Motoko special was the best one. I do think that Motoko is best girl, but I don't think she's the best pairing for Keitarou. OVA time.

Manga version is for you I think.

@chevalierkraken Is it different?

@Darkdaxter
The anime follow losely the manga so yeah many thing are different.

The anime is way more focus on comedy and adapt often a stand alone chapter in a full episode. The manga is nearly 80% focus on the love story. The comedy is here to build the relationship. The manga story also take place during 4 years, so characters evolve a lot.
Their background of the characters are also slitly différent between both version.

But in same time, the manga also reuse some anime exclusive idea.
