Love Hina Rant Part 1

My very first anime review/rant. Part 1 of 3. I realize a lot of people love this show, and for the life of me, I'm trying to understand why. Part 1 is my initial reaction to the series. Parts 2 and 3 will be more rational discussions.

By mean every girl beating the shit out of him, does this mean Shinobu too?

[Strebiskunk]

@SuperKitaroShinX Especially Shinobu! She's the worst of all! (just kidding) Actually, I've considered doing a separate segment for Shinobu because her story is almost the inverse of Keitaro's, and she's actually my favorite character on the show. She has an interesting story, positive character development that I enjoyed, and she's one of two people in the entire show who actually responds to Keitaro appropriately by just treating him like a friend.

Also there's a few thing that I don't get in that show.

1. How are the females so strong? The Sameri girl I understand but the other's can knock him out to the universe. and they didn't explain why they're strong they just are. Of course it's probly anime logic but still.

2.How come Keitaro doesn't get scratched, injured, or get a nose bleed? I mean he got punched through a glass window, how an he come back alive with no glass cuts?

3. HE'S WEARING FRECKING GLASSES you can't hit him when he do

[Strebiskunk]

@Maruigi2 Yeah, you nailed it. It's pretty much just cartoon logic for the sake of making it more wacky and fun. And normally I'd be fine with that, except they don't have any good reason for doing it here. It's like punching a sleeping baby.

[MysteryGuyler]

Very good review. My thoughts exactly.

[Strebiskunk]

@MysteryGuyler Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[CHCHuser]

I'm afraid to watch this show, fearing I might turn into a misogynist. Well, I'm all ready a misanthrope, so I guess it's too late

[2POWERFUL]

You got your point there, Strebiskunk.

Although I love LOVE HINA, (actually, more on the anime's romance tones, hot ladies, and the ecchi fanservice........)

Yes, I can agree. I feel bad about Keitaro Urashima. ~_~

[Ichikawa619]

I blame on the fans and good reviews, but they should take it serious. I am glad someone finally point it out, you really did a good job on the review. Thank you!

[Strebiskunk]

@DatFatPat Generally speaking, I hate it when characters are mean just for the sake of being mean (and Haruhi, at the beginning of her series, definitely fits that definition). But it can make a big difference if the story at least makes the effort to help me understand the character.

It's also important to remember Kyon, who brought some much-needed perspective to everything. As for the others, remember, it was actually their job to observe Haruhi for various reasons.
