Shiawase desu! = I'm happy!

I finally got the chance to see the Love Hina Again OVA's today! ^_^

The wait was so damn worth it, especially since I had a bad day yesterday. (Home team is out of playoffs.) I know the manga is way better, but still. So, yeah! Go and watch the OVA's if you haven't done so! Yatta ze!

I have a question - Who was Kanako's seiyuu?

In most animes, oavs > TV series in terms of quality, and Love Hina is no exception.

Yeah. That's true. Of course, Kodocha breaks this rule, though it was just one OVA and a long TV series.

El Hazard IMO breaks this rule. I prefer the latter over the OVA. Rune-hime was way kawaii there than in the OVA.

Taiho Shichauzo! follows the rule. OVA is the best I've ever seen.

Anyway, yeah. I'd say the Love Hina OVA's were better than the TV series.

"Kanako's Seiyuu" , posted Sat 18 May 02:18:

I didn't actually bother to find out her
seiyuu before! I went looking around and
found this on the net:

"Natsuko Kuwatani is the seiyuu for Kanako.
She isn't a well known voice actress, but
has done several roles, one of which was
Karen from Sister Princess."

Good that you've finally watched the OVA's :)
Let's pray that they make more in the
future, although it's unlikely that they do...

Not exactly true...

KOR, Patlabor, Maison Ikkoku, and BGC all had better TV series than OAV's. I'd put Slayers here too as I like the OAV's and movies, just not as much as the TV.

Some series the quality of TV is the same as the OAV, and vice versa. Mahou Tsuki Tai is one, as is Ranma and UY. (OAV's are animated better, but the story is the same...).

And in some cases the OAV is better. Tenchi comes to mind here, but that's only cause AIC ran Tenchi TV into the ground...:)

Of course the OAV is fading as a place to produce new long running series. Only ROD stands out as the last big OAV hit. The rest have hit TV in some form...

Funny thing about her : she plays a little sister in love with her brother on both Sister Princess and Love Hina and on each case she has a rival played by Horie Yui (Naru for Love Hina and Sakuya for Sister Princess)

I recognised her immediatly : the way she says "Onii-chan" is the same...

Tsukurimashou... Tsukurimashou...

Oh! That's her seiyuu. Okay. No wonder I had no clue as to know her seiyuu. She's not really well known.

Yeah. I finally watched them.

As far as I know, there's no new Love Hina in the works right now, according to one person's report of Anime Central (in the Chicago area). If there is a new works, I would love to see a Shinobu Special! Man! Think about it! An 18 year old Shinobu! Wai!

I belive LHA is the last of the anime, as all reports I've read said this was the wrap up OAV. Given the ending I doubt they'll do much more, unless stuff sold really well...

I would love to see them animate the manga ending, though. Simply cause it rocks so much more than the Anime one....

The second set of episodes were okay. You were introduced to Mutsumi.

Anyway, yeah, I need the last two volumes. Also, I need Love Hina Zero.
