Movie Reviews of Love Hina Christmas Movie
Movie Review: Laughter, Love, and Swordplay
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, this dvd is wonderful and highly recommended. Summaries of the xmas movie can be found all over the web so I thought I'd review the product itself. The dvd case is a translucent iceblue that I think complements the snowy xmas scene on the cover quite well. The cover itself is reversible with the Hinata girls in new year's garb wishing you a happy new year on the other side. The dvd also comes with a foldout 2003 calendar (xmas miniposter on the back) with the birthdays of the Love Hina characters marked on the calendar in case you wanted to know for some reason. The dvd has the same print design of the cover with some of the characters repositioned so that they all fit on face of the disc. The bonus material.. ep25 is HILARIOUS!! Buy this dvd just for episode 25 if you don't care for the xmas movie. I don't think Motoko's sis Tsuruko ever shows up in the anime again (in the manga she comes back after the events in Love Hina Again) so don't miss out! The extras also included some preview stuff for other anime including the magnificent COWBOY BEBOP! The animated menus are fun to watch. There is scene access for the movie and ep25, plus a textless ending for the movie which is pretty funny but makes more sense if you read the manga.The movie itself is heartwarming and definitely sweet and fun to watch. The Love Hina anime series is very funny though I felt it wasn't quite as deep or hilarious as the Love Hina manga, but episode 25 is just so damn funny! Oh yea, the English dubbed voices sound strange to me (Keitaro sounds WEIRD) but I guess I'm just too used to the Japanese cast. And I think they even dubbed Tama the turtle. Why the hell would you need to dub a turtle that says "MIYU"? Anyway, buy this dvd and be happy that you did ^_^
Summary of Love Hina Christmas Movie
This "movie" is actually a 2000 holiday special. With Christmas and entrance exams approaching, the Hinata Apartments are in a typical uproar. The gang decide the popular superstition "if you declare your love for someone on Christmas Eve, your wish will come true" should apply to Naru and Keitaro, who are trying to study. They assist the pair--and succeed in making pests of themselves. Of course, everything ends happily, despite Keitaro's sprained ankle and a long series of comic mishaps and misunderstandings. The disc also includes a new episode of Love Hina in which champion swordswoman Motoko must redeem herself in the eyes of her older sister to remain the heir to the Shinmei School. Christmas cheer notwithstanding, nothing's changed at the Hinata Apartments. An excellent gift for fans of this popular romantic comedy. (Rated 13 and older: comic violence, risqué humor, brief nudity, tobacco use) --Charles SolomonSimilar DVD Movies
