Does Yea Forums still like Love Hina?

Pretty much this. To be honest though, having read tons of them at this point, i still find Love Hina to be a fun read. Lots of gags, good adventure streak, and doesn't stay too far past its welcome. Anime adaptation was a fucking tragedy though.

Thinking back that was around the time that Xebec started really going to shit.

did anyone else wish there was more of adult su

did they do it? that would explain a lot
their style was just too 90s, not adaptable enough
they got negima too lol

Their would have been had Ken went with his original idea.

Love the way they flop to the floor with each punchline

This.
Naru and Belldandy created everything wrong with the harem genre.
If they weren't around we'd have actual romances instead of 'Will They/Won't They' For up to 20 fucking years

Was there ever a doujin made of this scene?

I remember when I watch the whole thing (TV and OVAs)in English dub, this was back when I had shit taste. it's something I can not replicate, it's was shit.

Would you lick her armpits?

I honestly preferred Motoko. I wanted her to win.

Naru was a symptom not a cause. Otakus really liked the idea of a girl randomly going from tsun to dere w/out the male character growing at all b/c they were used to it from dating sims. In dating sims/VNs the male lead is you and it’s not like you’re going to grow up by playing titty simulators.

I'm pretty sure 90s VNs were more about kind childhood friends. The modern tsundere boom didn't happen until the early 00s.

>Only Motoko
My patricia-
>Shinobu and Mutsumi were good
>Shinobu
Get away from me you doormat loving pleb.

Not that guy, but Motoko was tsundere done right the old school style. Naru was the first of those new wave violent biopolar psychos voiced by rei kugimiya

Naru was quite deplorable as a love interest though. All she did was punch Kentaro in the face and insult him. She never offered him any emotional support either. Not to say the other girls were perfect, of course.

But Keitaro did grow up.

>Naru was the first of those new wave violent biopolar psychos voiced by rei kugimiya
Did you even read the full manga?

The comedic flop is a classic.

You mean the one where she literally punches him on the final page?

That was done as a gag for the good old times.

>good

Good grief.

And fucked Naru...in fact, probably all of them.

Still doesn’t speak favorably about her capacity to be a good lover to Kentaro. Besides, she pulled that shit off a dozen times in the manga too.

>Kentaro
YIKES!

Inb4 some Motoko shitter says bullshit about Naru when that bitch was 10x worse.

>probably all of them
He didn't grow up enough for that, I'm afraid. His wife would kill him.

We can hope he did kiss them all, at least.

The blueballs and tsundere skit were so bad it physically hurts me

No...because based on how freaky she could get, she probably instigated it.

Literally one letter. Don’t be so autistic,user. You know who I meant.

People are too harsh on Love Hina because of all the terrible copies that have been made since. And even in hindsight it's funnier and more soulful than nearly every harem that came after

watching this is like cutting down an old tree and counting the rings. Except the tree is diseased and has been spreading its influence for years and should have been cut down years ago.

Does it still hold up against this decade's romcoms though?

Funnily enough I just reread this not even two days ago on a lark

It's fine. Its not great. Its humor is almost exclusivly stupid or absurd slap stick but the characters are good (or eventually get good) and unlike a lot of other romcom series the characters actually grow and change over time (especially Keitaro) which is nice and pretty much the only reason I kept reading.

Naru unfortunately was completely tied to the stupid slapstick. There totally were moments where you can see why their relationship works and her being genuinely sweet (like giving him bandaids or making chocolate for valentine's) but it really does get overshadowed by the bread n' butter tsundere slapstick fanservice that makes up more then half the series

Of course thinking back to when it came out and the age people were when it that stupid slapstick fanservice was probably why it was so popular

>Kentaro
You called?

So slow.

Kek. My typo is the catalyst for a lot of shitposting it seems.

I still have all the manga that I bought 16 years ago.

Scratch that it's been 17 years.
Time flies....

I'd lick mitsune all over

I love it.
Made me try the other stuff by akamatsu, but I could never get into it.
I love the manga, the anime, and the ova's all for different reasons.
I even love the dubs

You mean post Kaolla?

This might be a bit of an unpopular opinion but,

Kodansha was right. I liked Negima! better while it was an ecchi series with school shenanigans rather than when it turned an adventure/fighting series with muh lore.

Kinda enjoyed it, had some laughs but some stuff dragged along for too long. My biggest gripe is that no matter where their relationship shits, Keitaro is never heard. This shit drives me up the wall, even more when Naru gets all flustered/buttblasted whenever she sees him with either Mutsumi or even Shinobu and this shit repeats ad nauseum. Sure it was one of the first for the time.

Having both is good, it just shifted too much to combat.

fpbp

>oh shit dude I’m hallucinating from heatstroke from being under this kotatsu for 30 seconds, I gotta flip the lightswitch lol is this the lightswitch well lemmie start flipping it lol

nothing that happened in the comic ever made any sense

every shonen series does exactly this, it starts off as a fun story with fun things and less than halfway through it becomes guys shooting speed lines and wind swirls at each other for 10’s of chapters at a time

That wouldn't be so bad either if it then got to go back to fun things once the main conflict is over.

kinnikuman was a big shocker, the first few chapters were funny gag manga with him doing stuff like overflexing his muscles and accidentally shitting his pants but then a little while later it’s everybody standing around a ring looking serious while dudes in SS uniforms and guys with noodles for heads fight endless pro wrestling matches

the only reason anybody gives a shit about this franchise is because of the newgrounds dating sim, it was hot garbage

The best part are the fanfics where Keitaro tells Naru to fuck off

>If they weren't around we'd have actual romances instead of 'Will They/Won't They' For up to 20 fucking years

That's a lie and you know it. Will they won't they sells and people from all over the world know this and use it to make money.

>Naru
>Mr. Seta's used goods

I'll take Motoko thanks.

Motokofag seething is fun to watch

Manga Keitaro: starts as a loser, struggles daily, slowly growing and finally proving worthy as a man.
Anime Keitaro: keeps his stupidity as a constant during the series, repeating always the same dumb hijinks until it became boring.

Manga Naru: less prone to violence than her anime counterpart and more level headed. Is able to see Keitaro's good points since the beginning and supports him when needed.
Anime Naru: hysteric bitch with some dere moments. Her tsun behaviour is just played for comedy.

The main problem is that the anime didn't let the characters grow as deeply as the manga. Anime started with potential, topped at the sad vacation/Mutsumi encounter arc and then it went downhill. The manga just kept getting better, although it could deliver the end earlier, but still was satisfying.

True, her pining after Seta with keitaro still there was aggravating.

Kei/Naru/Seta triangle was my introduction to NTR/cucking when I was in middle school. It genuinely made me angry and hate Naru.
