What the fuck at Motoko being punished for giving the groper what for? Ain't that a nice moral lesson for women everywhere.

After watching Love Hina Again and being a bit disappointed I wasn't expecting much. However, I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. I loved that song playing towards the end of the OVA. Anyone know what it was?

I think it was better than the series too, the series should've had as much raw emotion as that!

It was a wonderful and magical Christmas movie!

This!
Keitaro is generally a stupid character, I get it, but I almost couldn't deal with the stupidity in using the crutches wrong..

Other than that the episode was pretty good.
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

I love this special, 9/10 from me. I've watched this every christmas since 2007, it's one of those classics you feel like you have to watch in order to get in the xmas mood!

The last scene where Naru talks to Keitaro through the television always hits me hard, no matter how many times I have seen it. And I just love that part when Ken Akamatsu helps Motoko and the gang through his limousine xD

I kinda missed the comedy, but it was a sweet special and fitting the season.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

@Slyphoria I agree with you about the tearing up. It was phenomenal. I liked the whole story very much.

Winter Wish is the English title. Very touching, loved it.

Meh. Meh.

Naru's just going to get distant and leave for no reason, after he confesses for the 30th time. Then she's going to spurn him the next time he says hello. Then she's going to get lunch at a fancy bistro with her former crush instead of just handing a present to him in person. Then she's going to lose Keitarou's present, and then waste hours chasing down a train for no reason. It's either gone or she'll get it tomorrow. But the worst part is she made Keitarou literally hop all around Tokyo while he was on crutches, when it's snowy and slippery out. And to top it all off, she'll say she's mean to him for his own good, and then insist they're just friends.

Dude should have just stayed in the love hotel with Motsumi, or embraced the pity date with Shinobu. She's not worth it bro.

6/10. Disappointing. Also that car is not catching up to a bullet train. Rip bike and crutch.
