It's a quiet song, so you might wana turn the volume up.

This is a tribute to Shinobu Maehara from the manga Love Hina. The anime does not do her justice, she develops so much in the manga compared to the anime. She tranforms from a quiet young girl into a rowdy Hinata Inn resident, even joining the other girls in smacking Keitaro with her frying pan without even realizing it. I don't know what it is that caught my heart, but ever since I started to read the manga, I've loved her, and Keitaro has become my sworn enemy for hurting her so many times. As far as the other girls are concerned, she by far develops the most character wise and maturity wise, beating out even Motoko for most drastic change in character. Seriously, if you've only watched the anime and you like Shinobu, you have no clue what she's like and you owe it to her to read all 14 books. Also, the writer and artist, Ken Akamatsu must be a huge Final Fantasy fan, as we can tell by Motoko's sister's boyfriend (Vincent Valentine anyone?) and Kaolla's royal guard looking oddly like the Turks, the main guard being a female Tseng. Keitaro also makes a direct reference to Kimarhi's lancet ability after using Motoko's own move against her in a late book. Lastly (there was 5 but i can't remember the other one I caught) in an early book, two background characters look alot like Squall and Rinoa. Anyways, getting back on subject (sorry, major FF fan myself) I hope you enjoy the movie. If you ask nicely in a comment, I'll e-mail you a Zipped file of all the Shinobu pics I have, totaling about 400 (some doubles though, I'm to lazy to go through and delete them) There will be more to come too.

great video, I like it being completely instrumental, soft, and soothing. I love Shinobu too, and I think I recall her being the only one not to hurt Keitaro (if he only noticed).

[AllenBlade]

youve only seen the anime huh? there is once in the manga where she helps the other girls by smacking keitaro with a frying pan, but immediately realizes she didnt mean to do it, it was just a forced thing since she was slowly turning into a true Hinata-Sou resident.

Guess I will need to hit a bookstore then.

*nods* i recommend it, shinobu goes through so much development that the anime doesn't show. even "Love Hina Again" doesnt show her true character.
