Review:
Chris and Gene reviewed Love Hina. For a change, its a series we could argue about. Gene enjoyed this fine series and found it entertaining and Chris thought he was at the dentist while watching this harem series. While Gene enjoyed the nice visuals and witty gags(at least the first couple of times), Chris couldn’t stand the lack of deep plot and horrible dub and english translation(actually Gene hates the dub too). While looking pretty, it ends up in the cliche catagory pretty fast. If you don’t mind harem humor drilled into your head enjoy this series… with the subtitles on. We gave it a 7……………………………… out of 10.
