Love Hina Omnibus
| Although I could Google/Wiki for the required information, I thought it best to to go for the more interesting and spoiler safe route, which is to ask on a forum. I'm currently into the Love Hina manga. If not for me only owning 5/14 volumes I'd probably be onto volume 6 or 7 by now. It's surprisingly good - I didn't think I'd like it that much when the story is completely predictable and has been done before, it has an endless amount of perverted fun, most of the chapters don't advance anything and the main character is annoyingly dull, but there you go. Naru is probably the main reason I like the series so much; she's hot, smart, violent, a red-head (I think) and funny - pretty much my dream anime girl. Very Happy Now, onto my question: I notice the anime only has 24 episodes. My math skills are horrible but even I can see that 14 volumes doesn't go into 24 episodes. So, I'm wondering how much was cut and changed in order to fit everything into 24 episodes? I know Love Hina wouldn't be too hard to shorten since a lot of the content could be classed as filler, with little to no relationship progression or character development, but it's still not good that so much (I'm assuming) was to be cut, and possibly altered. |
| Thanks to the mod who moved it to a dead section with 10 posts. Very helpful. |
| Please read the rules. Topic moved. If you look at the Anime Info page, you'll see that Love Hina has a few side stories and sequels etc. There's not only the 24-episodes anime. |

| After watching the first 4 episodes, I'm disappointed with the anime adaptation - the manga is waaay better. Too much needless filler was added, too many events were changed, the ecchi has mostly gone and Naru looks fugly most of the time. It's trash in comparison to the manga. The first episode did stupid stuff wrong, such as allowing Keitaro to meet some of the cast early, adding crap back-story and making it so certain characters weren't at Hinata House when Keitaro made his entrance, which resulted in the chasing scene being far less funny. The second episode was horrible, it being 90% filler, the plot being about Shinobu not having gone to Hinata House yet (filler), her not having ANY friends at school (filler) and her parents fighting over her (filler). The third was a little better since it followed the manga better, but even that seemed rushed. Only the forth episode was quality, and that's because it was fairly faithful to the source material. I could tell it was rushed after reading the manga but it was at least watchable enough for time to pass fast. The lack of boobs is one of the main things damaging the anime at the moment. For example, it's stupid for the girls to all wear towels in water and it seems even more silly how Naru seems to over-react to Keitaro simply seeing her with a towel wrapped around her. And, when Naru's face looks a little too round and usually unattractive, the combination of cut/altered dialogue, lack of light fan service and her face is making her far less likeable in the anime. To be honest, the only real plus point so far has been the excellent opening. Everything else has been poor to good. I can only see it getting worse when more and more stuff is obviously going to be either butchered or removed... /strokes his manga volumes and Naru doujins |
| i started reading the manga for love hina yesterday and im already half way threw volume 2 and im obsessed with it now. so i decided to check out the anime for it and it really really disappointed me! i watched the first 2 episodes and they are both way different then the manga. i guess ill watch the anime but i have a feeling that the manga will stay being 100 times better then the anime. i have all 14/14 books, bought them from craigslist yesterday :) |
| I am glad I am watching the anime first and THEN I'll read the manga after. I love the anime so far (14 episodes in) and it sounds like I might not have if I went in the other order. |
| i thought that this was supposed to be funny... i like comedies, but this is boring, its amazing im still watching this (its like a curse where i must finish a show UNLESS its really really bad). its not even amusing, all im seeing is romance with no comedy, and that is the last thing i want to watch |
 |
| I read the first volume of the manga and i really really really liked it, after seeing some anime i dropped it already (after reading this..) |
| im just going to watch the anime >< |
 |
| It's a terrific show. Well worth watching compared to so many other ones. |
