SUMMARY

Keitaro has finally made it into Tokyo University.  Unfortunately, Naru's temper has resulted in Keitaro breaking his leg.  Since he is unable to attend school, he decides to go away with his friend Seita on an archeological dig.

After he leaves, Keitaro's step-sister Kanako arrives. Taking her brothers place as the manager, she begins a little spring cleaning.  Using her ability to disguise herself, she tries to eliminate not only Naru, but anyone who might be a rival for Keitaro's affections.  As it turns out, Kanako is the girl Keitaro promised to attend Tokyo University with.

When Keitaro returns, the battle for his heart begins.  Yet, the magic of Hinata House may have the power to bring Keitaro and Naru together at last.

DVD VISION TEST

VIDEO: A beautiful looking transfer, Bandai has done a fantastic job. The colors (at least what colors there are) are perfect, there are no pixels, no wrinkles, no defects.

AUDIO: Good audio mix on both the English and Japanese. The Japanese 2.0 is quite loud, with a fuller sound than the English 2.0.

EDITS: No edits.

EXTRAS: Some outtakes, textless open and all three textless endings are your extras.  That and the reversible cover.

WIDESCREEN REVIEW

STORY: The series is based off of the manga created by Ken Akamatsu. However, it is series planners Toshimichi Otsuki, Toru Sato and script writer Kuro Hazuki who are giving us this story. Frankly, nothing in the series is new or original, story wise.  The rip off from so many different anime, I doubt an original thought passed through their heads.

ACTING: The cast on both versions irritate the hell out of me. Between the cheesy southern accents on the English dub, to the whinny, nails on a chalkboard Japanese voice actors, every minute of this series makes me cringe.

FAN SERVICE: It's wall to wall baby.  Everything from sexy lingerie to girl on girl action, it's the only redeeming factor of this whole DVD.

CONCLUSION

What a bitch.

Naru is the biggest, stupidest bitch in the history of anime.  

First of all, she punches Keitaro, causing him break his leg and miss school.  Then, she won't even say she is sorry.  Then upon Keitaro's return, she still treats him like crap.  When Kanako arrives, she allows the rival for her punching bags affection to stay.  She even defends her to the other Hinta House guests. If she would just tell Keitaro how she feels, then we would not have to put up with 26 EPISODES, 1 MOVE, AND THIS FRICKIN' 3 EPISODE OVA!

I absolutely hate this series.  I hate the idiotic characters.  I hate the re-hashed story.  I hate the cheep animation.  I hate the mechanical designs.  I hate the crappy writing.  I even hate the new and even more annoying theme song!

Also, what is up with the forbidden annex?  While I admit I have not watched the entire series, neither the first volume of the manga, or the movie mention anything about it.  So, did it magically appear?  Was it a whore house?  Why didn't anyone say anything about it before?  You mean to tell me that something that was never mentioned before is the pivotal plot point we have been waiting for?  Talk about crappy writing.

The only thing I like about this movie is the fan service.  Being closer to "Love Hentai" than Love Hina, there are so many panty shots, near nude shots, and lesbian-chic mixed in, I got a nose bleed watching it.  If only it had been a hentai release.  Then perhaps, I would have like it.......nahhh!

This is by far the worst anime series ever made!  It's stupid, you don't care about any of the characters, and the writing is totally unoriginal.

One last thing.  To paraphrase Eric Cartman; "Naru's a bitch! She's a big bad bitch!  She is the biggest bitch in the whole wide world!"
