TV Special
Finished Airing
Apr 2, 2001
The tests have come, and Keitaro can only hope to succeed. However, in the final stretch, he fails miserably and daydreams through the test. Assuming that he has failed, he runs away, so the rest of the cast hunts him down on a remote desert island to bring him back. The Toudai entrance exams have finally come (again) for Keitaro. With all his confidence Keitaro sits for the paper, but ends up falling asleep and dreaming about Narusegawa. Waking up with barely any time to complete the paper, Keitaro thinks he will fail the paper and tries to escape from Hinata Lodge and forget all the memories with it. By a stroke of luck he meets Seta, but ends up in a faraway island with the whole cast trying to look for him. (Source: ANN)

This is a typical special episode.. There really isnt much here for someone looking for a bit of a "conclusion" on the Keitaro x Naru arc.. But the one thing that this special does do.. is give you more of a prespective into the Shinobu x Keitaro arc. You learn more about her feelings and thoughts.. I wished they would have went ahead and made it into a special completely from her prespective.. but.. they did enough for me to develop her character and feelings a bit more.. But.. This IS a special so.. its basically for the fans.. It doesnt really have anything todo with the storyline.. and its more like a mini-movie for fans of the series. The art is the same as the series.. the music is still good.. and it has the same comedic hi-jinks. If you like the series.. youll like this too! I hope you enjoy!
Let's get down with the review. -Keitaro got a tan. -Keitaro finally got into Tokyo U, but the rest of the episode is spent on the girls locating him just to tell him that. -There's an alternate dark side Shinobu. -At the waterfall scene both Naru and Nyamo had to change into leaf clothes after their shirts had been soaked with water but few scenes later Nyamo changes back into her normal clothes while Naru is still in leaf clothing. Okay. -The scene at the end is an important event, as it is an important progress for both Naru and Keitaro's relationship. Might as well be saying that this wholeepisode is worth it just for that scene. Even Love Hina Again will reference to this scene. The audience would not miss anything by skipping this out but the confession scene at the end still looks pretty important in preparation for Love Hina Again.
The tests have come, and Keitaro can only hope to succeed. However, in the final stretch, he fails miserably and daydreams through the test. Assuming that he has failed, he runs away, so the rest of the cast hunts him down on a remote desert island to bring him back. I might as well call this special, âThe FUCK IT ALLâ special because weâre just going through the same shit again with Keitaro trying to pass his entrance exam to be in Tokyo U for the umpteenth time but manages to fuck that up and ended up being at a desert island. Sorry if I donât havemuch to say on this because theyâre really isnât much to say about this. Keitaro is going through some shit weâve seen before. Shinobuâs storyline isnât that much vital anyway considering that whole âthis guy likes me but Iâm obviously in love with Keitaroâ plotline isnât referenced that much in the OVA and of course, there is another character, this island girl named Nyamo, who is basically a darker skinned version of Shinobu and her plot of finding her father or grandfather or somethingâŠâŠ.yeah, the OVA didnât have much care about it so why should I? And yes, those Keitaro/Naru moments are back and still annoying as ever, especially with one scene where sheâs chasing him throughout the desert and even when sheâs almost exhausted, she still tries to hit him. Stop with that shit!!! It wasnât cute nor funny the first time and itâs not going to be this time either, itâs just an annoying gag that got overused way too much in this franchise and it only justifies as why should we care if these two idiots get together in the end. Even if there was a conclusion to that story, I still wouldnât care that much about it. Yeah, as I said in the Again reviewâŠ.their problem isnât the fan service, itâs their comedy and their schmaltzy attempts of getting sentiment from the audience. You want to make something with enough laughs and heart? Then donât follow Love Hinaâs example!!! As for the animation and sound, they are about as equal to the series and the last OVA, The Christmas Special, and they isnât really nothing new to add on the animation front. It was daring and new at the time it come around but itâs just mostly the standard as ofâŠâŠwell, a few years ago. Music is just the same cutesy yet annoying tone but it gets worse during the Spring Special and worse of all, The English dub is just so horribleâŠâŠ.my god, this is a bad one. All the voices sound too high-pitched and girly even when itâs the voice actresses giving it their all and while I may like some of these actresses, I think their talents were abused during this OVA. FINAL VERDICT: Iâm so glad Iâm done with this franchise. Just so fucking done. I hate Love Hina within all my heart and this is never going to change. You donât give a shit about the story, the characters, and you wonder why you even thought of going along with this in the first place.
