Love Hina is really great! From the first moment, I was gripped by this story's violence, drama and slight funniness, s well as the romance, which develops as the story goes on.
So, a young man called Urashima Keitaro suddenly finds himself working as the manager for an all-girls dormitory. Yes, you can probably see where that story is going. Lots of slapstick humor, romance and funniness is the recipe for this show. I think it's pretty cool, and if you like romance/harem anime, this is a definite must-see.

This one came outta nowhere. My first reaction was wtf. I got the anime because it was ranked decently high on many lists. After a few episodes my reaction was still wtf, but it was a why-the-f is this so entertaining.
This anime is pure fun. No deeper meanings, themes, symbolism, whatever. I'm sure you can guess that from the get go.
The reason why I rate it so high is because it impressed me with its storyline and characters. Both are basically set in stone from the beginning: each character has his/her archetype to play and the storyline is disgustingly linear. This one-two punch had the potential to (and in many cases, does) kill many animes of the genre.
LH, however, stayed refreshingly crisp until the end. Maybe it was the pure likability of many of the characters (aunt haruka is a MILF rocking that cig in her mouth all the time, haha) or because of how well they pull off the whole slice of life thing, but the anime rarely tires and is a laugh until the end.
The soundtrack and art are nothing out of the ordinary. The antics of the characters are funny and interesting enough to keep you watching. read more

Same Creator, Boy surrounded by many beautiful girls.
Both are writen by Ken Akamatsu, both are writen in a simular style... They are both "Harem" type Animes and Mangas, and for the most part the part of the "Pervert" (ecchi) is one of someone accdentaly getting into the situations.
Same creator, yet slightly different.
I personally preferred Negima, because it had a bit more depth in it. Not as romance-based, I guess... But magic and spell-casting is always a plus.
Both are similar for blatant reasons: Bad animation, Repetetive Humor, and typical Ken Akamatsu.
Made by the same Studios, this is almost the same tipe of story just diferencing the magic environment on Negima!
These anime are based on manga by the same mangaka and that is clearly visible. Character design are quite the same and both anime are a harem love comedy.
Same artist, similar storyline but Negima has much more to it than Love Hina. Also the lead characters are fairly different which adds to each series in its own way.
The amount of pervertedness how it evolves around mostly one boy.
Both anime were created by Ken Akamatsu

This show seems very similar to love hina in many aspects. Explaining is hard without giving spoilers but the characters, comedy style, amd even look is similar i highly suggest both anime.
Both great romance comedy and have great main characters that leave you wanting more! manga versions are better though (love hina manga is WAY better)
Both are about two childhood loves that try to find their way together in life. Well Love Hina is more funny while Ai yori Aoshi is more serious. Still if you like one you also like the other. I'm sure about that.
I may get killed after saying this, but I think Ai Yori Yoshi is actually better/more interesting than Love Hina. That being said, if you like Love Hina, if you are looking for a similar show, or if you like the added aspect of a "sudden girlfriend appearance", Ai Yori Aoshi is the best choice for you.
this both anime about guy living in a house with a bunch of cute girl..and many funny scene...
A guy surrounded by many girls, but only has eyes for one of them. Both are very kind boys who often get misunderstood.
Both are Harems, both can be appropiately romantic when they want to be, both have a full ensemble of well-developed and well-liked characters.
Love Hina is more comedic, while Ai Yori Aoshi is more majestic in nature.
Also, the main heroines are the primary love interest as well.
