How did you get the sister made the promise to him? I wasn't paying 100% full attention because it was super silly.

near the end, when Motoko looks in the mirror in her yukata, there's a BGM that plays, does anyone know what it's called? I can't find it in the Love Hina OST's, and I would greatly appreciate it if someone can tell me if they know what it's called.

Silly anime, turtles can't fly... but dafuq is this development!? Giant robot turtles... really why? I thought this would be a proper romance anime but no they went totally the wrong path and ruin it for everyone...

Oh well the dresses Motoko-chan wore were quite lovely though but that's the only thing I have to say that was good about this episode.

An episode dedicated to Motoko is pure win. She really reminds me at Kyuubei.

You also gotta love the randomness.

@RafaelDeJongh This is supposed to be a big comedy (nonsensical random jokes, parodies, adventures, etc) with the romantic intrigue serving as background thread.

@FMmatron "Kyûbei"?

From Gintama. Both are troubled with accepting their femininity and use a sword.

I honestly don't know what to think of this show. It's enjoyable, funny, annoying and repetitive, all at the same time.

First half of this anime is over. It's repetitve especially with Keitaro being punched by everyone. The supernatural thing is probably my least favourite part of Love Hina. 5/10 for Spring 2000.

More Motoko, eh? Can't say I'm against it since she's kinda cool.

God, another episode about Motoko, why? It's the third already.

If Motoko thinks, I disagree
If Motoko speaks, I'm deaf
if Motoko thinks, I despise
If Motoko has 1000 haters, I'm one of them
If Motoko has 1 hater, that's me
If Motoko doesn't have haters, I don't exist

Now being more serious, despite being an episode focusing on a character I don't like, we had greater development of Motoko. It was possible to confirm my suspicion, her sister got married and she felt distressed by this fact. At the end of the episode we saw her understanding that her sister did what she thought was right.

As I already commented before, I understand the character's reasons, but that doesn't make me like her. I find it annoying that she wants to knock Keitarou or doesn't feel strong just because she's dressed feminine, something that Keitarou made her see that doesn't mean anything, because the important thing is who she is.

Anyway, even with so much development I can't feel empathy for the character.

remembered an episode with Motoko revealing herself to be afraid of turtles, and this also confirms itself as one of my favorites along with the previous one, with just one exception. Of all those times that Narusegawa attacked Keitaro jumping to conclusions for no justified reasons, the switching clothes one has been the most obnoxious and mean spirited. Despite this detail and the mechas absurdity, some nice character development for Motoko has been delivered and can't complain, she has her problems too but never brought myself to dislike her. Agree that most costumes she tried were poorly matched for her, but she went out with the best one as multiple people noticed. "Do you also know karate, lady?" no, but she would be even cooler if she did.
